Title: Drying plant and method for drying wood
Inventor: SKROTSKY VIKTOR GEORGIEVICH
IPC: F26B25/00
Filed: 2000-10-24
Abstract: The invention relates to drying equipment and can be used in wood and wood treatment industries, etc., whenever parameters and procedures necessary to dry materials such as wood are used. The invention allows the drying process to achieve a higher degree of environmental protection, a larger product output and power saving features on the account of the following design of the plant: the drying chamber (1) which contains the material to be dried includes a bottom (4) which has two cavities (5, 6); hot combustion products are injected into one of these cavities (5) from the flue pipe (9) of the furnace which is used to burn wood waste; hot air is supplied into the other cavity (6), whereby said air is heated in pipes which are located inside the flue (9), and is used as a drying agent. The hot drying agent is supplied from the cavity (6) in the bottom and circulates through distribution channels in the lower part of the drying chamber (1) where it passes through the material which is to be dried and rises in the top portion of the internal open space of the drying chamber (1). From that point, one part of the drying agent is fed into a closed circuit in the flue (9) of the furnace and is heated therein, and the other part of said drying agent is directed into a condensation cleaning unit (11) where it is mixed with furnace gases and purifies said gases by condensation.

Abstract: A method and system for increasing compatibility among telecommunications networks using different types of signaling systems. Current location information for a mobile station is stored (54) in a register (24). Subsequently, a telecommunication node attempting to access the mobile station (10) requests (58, 82) current location data from the register. It is determined, however, that the stored location information is incompatible with a signaling system used by the telecommunication node. As a result, a physical address that corresponds to the stored location information is identified (60, 64, 84) as bring compatible with the signaling, system. The identified physical address is then used to perform the access of the mobile station. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the attempted access of the mobile station is for purposes of delivering (66) a short message service (SMS) message. In another embodiment, the attempted access comprises un attempt to set up an international call connection (88).

Title: Air filtration system with recessed filter and edge banding
Inventor: RIVERA SAMUEL
IPC: B01D46/12
Filed: 2001-06-14
Abstract: A filtration system comprising a main filter assembly having a frame (18, 20) and filter media (12) comprising pleated sections arranged in a row of V  shapes within the frame (18, 20). The filter media (12) is spaced from an upstream face of the frame a distance sufficient to prevent blinding of the filter media (12) by an upstream filter media (33), thereby eliminating a filtration stage and reducing the volume of the filtration system. Filter media alignment members disposed within the frame (18, 20) assist in holding the filter media sections in alignment within the frame (18, 20). In another embodiment, flexible strips of edge banding, preferably of a filter material, are affixed to adjacent upper and lower longitudinal edges of the sections of the filter media (12). The edge banding minimizes pressure drop across the filter and is simpler and less costly to manufacture.

Title: Below motor well fluid separation and conditioning
Inventor: VANDEVIER JOSEPH E
IPC: E21B43/38
Filed: 2003-01-27
Abstract: A method and system for downhole treatment and pumping of well fluids enhances the pumping of viscous fluids to the surface. The first step is to separate the oil and water from the well fluid and then channel the oil to a chamber that encloses the motor. The heat from the motor will increase the heat of the crude oil flowing past the motors thereby lowering the viscosity of the crude oil. The water flows separately past the motor in another passageway, and remixes with the oil. After the oil and water recombine, the treated well fluid has a lower viscosity, and the fluid is then pumped to the surface more efficiently than without treating the oil.

Abstract: On utilise de l'oxygène ou de l'air enrichi d'oxygène pour entretenir la combustion d'une partie du sulfure d'hydrogène contenu dans un premier courant de gaz d'alimentation dans des fours (16 et 26). On extrait la vapeur de soufre du mélange gazeux résultant à l'aide d'un condenseur (32) afin de former un courant gazeux appauvri en vapeur de soufre renfermant du sulfure d'hydrogène, du dioxyde de soufre, de l'hydrogène, et de la vapeur d'eau. On fait passer le courant gazeux appauvri en vapeur de soufre dans un réacteur (40) de réduction catalytique dans lequel tout le dioxyde de soufre résiduel est réduit en sulfure d'hydrogène. On extrait de la vapeur d'eau du mélange gazeux réduit résultant dans une tour de refroidissement (52) brusque. Le courant gazeux résultant appauvri en vapeur d'eau s'écoule vers une installation de Claus afin d'être traité à l'aide d'un second courant gazeux d'alimentation renfermant du sulfure d'hydrogène. L'utilisation de deux fours (16 et 26) permet d'effectuer des conversions très efficaces du sulfure d'hydrogène du gaz d'alimentation en soufre sans avoir à recycler le gaz appauvri en vapeur d'eau.
