Granted: 2000-09-19
Abstract: A CDMA mobile communication system, which produces a time for monitoring peripheral base stations using different radio frequencies for carrying out hand-off between base stations using different radio frequencies without momentary cutoff of communication. A mobile station (504) of the CDMA mobile communication system discontinues error correction decoding on reception signal, outputs a user data which is not error correction decoded and, during the non-reception time in the blank time, changes over a reception frequency to a radio frequency of a neighboring base station monitor a reception level of the neighboring base station.      During a hand-off period between a base station under communication (502) and a new base station (503) which differ in used frequency, the base station under communication and the new base station transmit only a user data portion, but do not transmit transmission signal in a transmission period for transmitting an error correction coding check bits. The mobile station (504) receives and demodulates the transmission signal of the base station under communication and, during an error correction coding check bit transmission period, changes over a frequency of a receiver to the frequency of the new base station to receive and demodulate the transmission signal of the new base station.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treatment of waste products that contain organic materials, such as plastic and like organic materials, and frequently also containing metal values, including precious metals, by thermal processing, without risk of generating dioxins or similar toxic compounds and in a manner which also enables any metal values to be recovered. The method is characterized by charging the waste products to an agitated smelt in a manner which will prevent the products being heated to any significant degree prior to being surrounded by the agitated smelt. The waste products are mixed vigorously in the smelt in the presence of reducible constituents or components at a temperature of at least about 1250 °C, wherein plastic and other organic material is decomposed thermally to reduction agents for the reduction of said reducible constituents or components, and therewith converted essentially fully to complete combustion products, such as CO2 and H2. Any metal values present are taken out as metal-rich dustand/or metal-rich molten phase, and the metal values can be recovered from the metal-rich products in a suitable known manner. The invention also relates to a method of destroying, or rendering harmless, waste products that contain organic substances, such as plastic or like organic compounds, without the risk of forming dioxins or like toxic compounds.
