Title: Process and Apparatus for Treating Heterogeneous Waste to Provide a Homogeneous Fuel
Inventor: WARF JACK DONALD
IPC: B03B9/06
Filed: 1994-08-25
Abstract: Apparatus (10) and method are described for processing waste into a clean fuel. The waste (22) comprises organic and inorganic portions. A float tank (18) is filled with a liquid, e.g., water, of a selected depth. The waste (22) is introduced into the liquid and separates into its organic portion, which floats near the surface of the liquid, and into its inorganic portion, which falls towards the bottom of the tank (18). The liquid depth is selected to be sufficiently large to permit the separation of an organic and inorganic portions. Then the organic and inorganic portions are removed. Sufficient liquid is extracted from the separated organic portion to provide a clean fuel. The fuel (102), illustratively, is formed as pellets. In a further aspect of this invention, further liquid is added to the separated organic portion to form a mixture thereof, which is pulped to provide a slurry thereof of a relatively high moisture content. Liquid (88) is extracted by mechanical means, e.g., a belt press (87) and/or a screw press (92), from the slurry to provide the clean fuel (102) of a relatively low, homogeneous liquid content.

Title: Local area network for use in office communications and a circuit arrangement therefor
Inventor: METZ MANFRED
IPC: H04L12/70
Filed: 1996-04-12
Abstract: LAN's are customarily used for pure data communication. Voice communication via a LAN is only possible with the constraint of other subscribers being subjected to long waiting periods during the relatively long occupation time. The present LAN expands the functionality of work stations connected to the LAN, by using ATM technology to meet the communication requirements of an office environment. A network node or a conventional work station (3) is expanded by means of a unit which performs switching technology functions, so that terminals of the most different types (4, 5, 6, 7) can access the LAN via interface circuits (41, 51, 61, 71), resulting in a private network with distributed telecommunication installations. In this way, real-time connections with different bandwidth requirements, such as for example video conferences and pure voice transmission, are made possible. The thus expanded ATM-LAN is suitable for all types of communications taking place in an office.

Patent CA-2175459-A1 (CA)
Title: Improving the performance of a mobile cellular communication system
Inventor: DENT PAUL W
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 1995-08-29
Abstract: System performance in a mobile communications system is improved by detecting whether the mobile unit has a particular capability, and adjusting operation of the base station to improve system performance in response to detection that the mobile unit has the particular capability. The capability may be radio reception with lower signal to interference (C/I) requirements.  In this case, system performance may be improved by adjusting base station transmitter power to a reduced power range in response to detection that the mobile unit has the particular capability, thereby creating less interference to mobiles that require a higher C/I, and increasing system capacity.  Detection may include receiving a signal from the mobile unit, wherein the signal is encoded to indicate whether the mobile station has the particular capability.  Alternatively, the signal may be a signal that is encoded to identify from which one of a plurality of mobile units the identifying signal was received.  In this instance, the base station uses the identifying signal to retrieve a capability-indicating code from a database, which may be located in the subscriber's home exchange.  In another aspect of the invention, a lower of two billing rates is selected for billing a mobile unit in response to detection that the mobile unit has the particular capability.  This passes along system savings to the subscriber, and creates an incentive for the subscriber to purchase the usually more expensive mobile unit that has the particular capability.

Title: Assay employing both protein and antibody
Inventor: DORVAL BRENT L
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1995-01-04
Abstract: The binding site on immunoglobulin for a protein is blocked by hydrophobically coupling the immunoglobulin to a blocking agent such as a label. This results in a detection reagent useful in a variety of test assays in which a protein and an immunoglobulin are advantageously used together, but separately. The reagent is useful in the simultaneous determination of IgG and one of IgA or IgM. Anti-IgA-IgG or anti-IgM-IgG is coupled to a hydrophobic label, particularly a pigment or dye, which label blocks the binding site on IgG for Protein A, and labeled Protein A is added.

Title: Method and installation for removing a superstructure
Inventor: HEEREMA EDWARD PIETER
IPC: B63B35/00
Filed: 1996-10-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing a superstructure from a jacket placed on a sea-bottom, wherein a vessel is positioned in the vicinity of the jacket. Such a method is known. There is the danger therein of the superstructure colliding with the jacket during lifting thereof because it moves up and down with the vessel floating on the waves. The superstructure and/or the jacket can herein be damaged.     The invention has for its object to avoid such damage. To this end the method according to the invention has the characteristic that the superstructure is engaged by engaging means which are movable relative to the vessel, that the movement of the vessel in the waves is detected, and that lifting of the superstructure from the jacket is started when it is detected that the vessel is situated below its average level.

Inventor: HASSLER WILLIAM L JR
IPC: G01D5/26
Filed: 1995-07-26
Abstract: A fiber optic signal collection system and method for position sensing or sensing other parameters indicated by light distinctive patterns. The system is particularly suitable for use in aircraft flight control. The system includes a set of fiber optic fibers with first and second ends. The first ends are disposed adjacent a light distinctive pattern indicating a particular pattern such as a relative position. A portion of the second ends are positioned adjacent a light source and a portion of the second ends are disposed adjacent a light sensing electrical device such that light from the light source can be conveyed through the fibers, reflected from the light distinctive pattern, and conveyed through the fibers to the light sensing electrical device in order to detect the pattern in the electrical device. By this means the parameter indicated by the light distinctive pattern can be detected, and the light indication of which can be remotely conveyed through the fiber optic fibers to a conveniently located light sensing electrical device. Multiple parameters can be sensed with a single light sensing electrical device by alternate routing of light from different light distinctive patterns indicating different parameters to the light sensing electrical device.

Title: A stackable block system
Inventor: FREDERIKSEN JESPER BO
IPC: A63H33/08
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: A system of stacking blocks comprises box-shaped blocks whose upper side is provided with one or more coupling knobs in a uniform pattern with a mutual firm modular distance, and whose underside is provided with complementary coupling means, so that the stacking blocks can be coupled together. According to the invention, the coupling knobs, at least partly, define a rotationally symmetrical surface which has an upwardly rounded or tapering shape to provide guide faces for the complementary coupling means. The largest tranverse dimension of the surface of a block having just one coupling knob is smaller than or equal to the difference between the corresponding diameter of the coupling knobs and twice the modular distance. This provides a stacking block system which, to a greater degree than known before, involves different degrees of difficulty for the positioning and orientation of the blocks during stacking, depending upon the number of coupling knobs on the stacking blocks.
