Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de transmission qui peut être utilisé pour multi-diffuser avec fiabilité un groupe de paquets de données depuis une station primaire (2) via un réseau (4) tel qu'Internet, vers une pluralité de stations secondaires (6). La station primaire (2) collecte des informations rétroactives qui sont liées à un état de réception (Li) du groupe de paquets de données, provenant des stations secondaires (6). Pour éviter qu'une implosion des messages d'informations rétroactives ne vienne congestionner le réseau (4), la station primaire (2) transmet aux stations secondaires (6) de manière répétée les demandes de retour d'information, qui comprennent une valeur de probabilité de réponse (p) et le pire état de réception (Lthresh) signalé à la station primaire (2). Ces dernières (6) transmettent les informations rétroactives à la station primaire (2) en fonction de la valeur de probabilité de réponse (p) et seulement lorsque l'état de réception (Li) est pire que le pire état de réception signalé (Lthresh). La valeur de probabilité de réponse (p) et le pire état de réception signalé (Lthresh).sont adaptés par la station primaire (2) en fonction des informations rétroactives reçues de telle sorte qu'un nombre maximal de messages d'informations rétroactives est collecté depuis ses stations secondaires (6) sans congestionner le réseau (4). Si l'état de réception (Li) comprend le nombre de paquets de données reçus par erreur (Li) par les stations secondaires (6), la station primaire (2) peut transmettre les informations de correction basées sur ce nombre de paquets de données reçus par erreur (Li) et le groupe de paquets de données transmis aux stations secondaires (6) de sorte que ces dernières peuvent effectivement corriger les paquets de données reçus par erreur avec les informations de correction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-layer film web with a configuration which ranges from being open to diffusion to preventing diffusion (4, 4a) for use in the construction industry. Said web has a central layer consisting of a water and air-tight plastic and external layers which can be cleaned consisting of non-woven or woven fabric, technical warp-knitted fabric, knitted fabric, glass fibre, reinforced paper, film or similar and a self-adhesive layer on the edge. The width of the film web (4, 4a) measures between 5 and 80 cm. The thickness of the film web and the type of the adhesive, in addition to the width (c) of the self-adhesive layer are matched in such a way that the film web (4, 4a) can be fixed purely by adhesion without any form of mechanical fastening, in a permanent manner to plastic, aluminium, wooden or similar window sections (1) and/or to conventional water-vapour resistant films (12) consisting of polyolefins or similar. An absolutely air and wind-tight connection can thus be achieved on the building site at minimum cost, with the connection zone allowing the diffusion of water vapour, or having increased water-vapour resistance, depending on the type of film selected, than can be achieved with prior art.

Abstract: A process to support a homogeneous catalyst on a porous solid support is performed in two separate zones. In the first zone the solid is contacted, under stirring, with an amount of a catalyst solution lower than the total pore volume of the solid. In the second zone the solid is dried from the solvent while flowing under pneumatic conveying. A loop circulation of solid is established between the two zones, so that the solid is subject to more contacting steps. The process is particularly suitable to support a metallocene-alumoxane polymerization catalyst on a porous prepolymer. The process can be advantageously performed in continuous, thus fitting the needs of an industrial scale production process.

Abstract: A system and method is described having a single reaction vessel using superheated steam optionally augmented by oxygen for reducing nitrogen oxides present in a wide variety of organic compounds. Reduction takes place quickly when a steam/oxygen mixture is injected into a fluidized bed of ceramic beads. Reducing additives are metered into the reaction vessel and/or provide energy input to reduce nitrates to nitrogen. The speed of the fluidizing gas mixture agitates the beads that then help to break up solid wastes and to allow self-cleaning through abrasion thereby eliminating agglomerates, and the oxygen, when used, allows for some oxidation of waste by-products and provides an additional offset for thermal requirements of operation.

Abstract: A novel multiple channel architecture (265) is designed to allow targeted advertising directed to television terminals (220) connected to an operations center (202) or a cable headend (208). Program channels carry television programs. The invention uses upstream data reception hardware (262, 275, 297), databases (301) and processing hardware (285, 293) and software to accomplish these functions. During commercial breaks in the television programs, advertisements, which are also broadcast on the program channel, are displayed. However, additional feeder channels carry alternate advertising that may be better suited for certain viewing audiences. The operations center (202) or the cable headend (208) generate a group assignment plan (293, 299) that assigns the television terminals (220) to groups, based on factors such as area of dominant influence and household income. A switching plan (291) is then generated that instructs the television terminals (220) to remain with the program channel or to switch to one of the altemate feeder channels during the program breaks. The television terminals (220) record which channels were viewed during the program breaks, and report this information to the cable headend (208) and the operations center (202). The reported information is used to generate billing for commercial advertisers, and to analyze viewer watching habits.
