Title: Method for destruction of organic compounds by co-oxidation with activated carbon
Inventor: MCLAUGHLIN HUGH S
IPC: B01D53/73
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: A method for oxidizing carbon adsorbable organic compounds in a controlled manner within a bed of activated carbon. The bed of activated carbon is exposed to a source of molecular oxygen, such as air, and is controlled within a temperature range whereby the molecular oxygen is slowly oxidizing the activated carbon. Under this controlled set of conditions, the activated carbon will oxidize organic compounds present within the bed of activated carbon. This technique has widespread versatility for the controlled destruction of organic vapors and liquids by activated carbon and applications for the regeneration of spent activated carbons containing previously adsorbed organic compounds.

Abstract: Initialization processes of link layers in a data
transmission system are started after initialization processes
of respective physical layers are completed. Thus, at the time
of initialization of the link layers, the respective physical
layers can perform communication with each other. As a result,
in the data transmission system in which electrical communication
is performed, an initialization program (an API which is supplied
assuming that physical layers requiring no initialization process
are used) designed assuming that physical layers are in a state
where they can perform communication during an initialization
period of link layers can be used while satisfying the above
assumption.

Abstract: When a knob is turned by a predetermined turning angle α
and this angle is detected by a rotary encoder, an
electromagnetic brake is activated by a controller and the
rotation of the knob is locked. Then, while the knob is
locked by the electromagnetic brake, the controller
determines whether an operating force was applied to the knob
in direction A in which the turning angle of the knob is
increased. If the controller determines that the operating
force was not applied to the knob in direction A (if the
operating force was applied in direction B), the locking of
the knob is released.
