Abstract: There is provided a process for hydrocarbon synthesis wherein a supported metal catalyst for hydrogenating carbon monoxide to form a mixture of hydrocarbons is regenerated by decreasing its hydrocarbon content, impregnating under a non-oxidative atmosphere with a solution of at least one member selected from the group consisting of ammonium salts, alkyl ammonium salts and weak organic acids, optionally including ammonia, oxidizing with a gaseous oxidant in the presence of the impregnating solution, activating the catalyst by reduction with hydrogen at elevated temperatures and reusing the catalyst. The treatment may be carried out in a single reactor, or by carrying out up to all steps after catalyst has been withdrawn therefrom and returned to at least one reactor. Up to all steps subsequent to decreasing the hydrocarbon content may be effected in a subsequent reactor, or in specialized apparatus.

Abstract: A catheter clamp includes a body portion and clamp, the body portion comprising a first location portion which receives a catheter which issues from a patient's skin, a second location portion which causes the catheter to be bent through an arc and a third location portion which guides the catheter to an exit of the clamp, the third location portion comprising side walls which flank the catheter so as to form a close-fitting pathway, the arrangement of the clamp being such that in use the clamp is manually operable and can be caused to adopt a clamping condition in which the clamping portion clamps at least one of that portion of the catheter which is located by the third location portion and that portion of the catheter which is located by the second location portion. The inventive catheter clamp is advantageously of a lower profile than known catheter clamps.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un procédé de production de nitrure de bore cubique, dans lequel on maintient un mélange contenant du nitrure de bore hexagonal et un catalyseur dans des conditions de pression et de température qui favorisent de manière thermodynamique la présence stable du nitrure de bore cubique, formant ainsi des morceaux composites contenant du nitrure de bore cubique, qui à leur tour sont dissous dans une solution alcaline pour récupérer le nitrure de bore. Le procédé est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, en outre, préalablement à l'étape de dissolution, un étape qui consiste à réduire le rapport de nitrure de bore en phase de basse pression au nitrure de bore cubique dans les morceaux composites à 50 % en masse ou moins.

Abstract: A spiral slot stacker has a two-part stripper 2 for stripping out sheet material from a stacker wheel 1 . The two parts 2 a , 2 b of the stripper are movable. A first part 2 a of the stripper is moved out of the stacker wheel together with the last bank note 100 to be stacked in such a way, that only the last bank note is stripped out and the next bank note 101 remains in the stacker wheel. The second part 2 b of the stripper at this stage rotates along with the stacker wheel and will not be locked in the strip-out position until the spiral slot stacker is prepared for stacking a next bank-note stack. The bank notes, in the meanwhile supplied to the stacker wheel, are stripped out from the stacker wheel by the second part 2 b of the stripper, while the first part 2 a of the stripper is moved back to the strip-out position. By this method a collision of the first part of the stripper with the bank notes located in the stacker wheel is prevented.

Abstract: A power amplifier pre-distorter is formed by a FIR filter structure which includes an individual look-up table for each filter tap, where each look-up table represents a sample polynomial in a variable representing signal amplitude, and means for selecting, from each filter tap look-up table, a filter coefficient that depends on the amplitude of corresponding complex signal value to be multiplied by the filter tap. A training method for such a pre-distorter sets (S 1 ) the entries of table T<SUB>0 </SUB>and T<SUB>1 </SUB>to predetermined values. Then it measures and stores (S 2 ) a batch of input signals x and feedback signals y. New estimates of T<SUB>0 </SUB>and T<SUB>1 </SUB>are determined (S 3 ) using an iteration of a least mean square based iterative procedure. Then it is tested (S 4 ) whether the tables have converged. If the tables have converged, the current estimates are provided as the final tables. Otherwise another iteration (S 2 -S 4 ) of the least mean square procedure is performed.

Abstract: Determining whether a first wireless terminal may transmit on an uplink to a servicing base station in a cellular wireless communication system includes first receiving a plurality of a Radio Frequency (RF) bursts at a wireless terminal from a servicing base station. These RF bursts carry a data block containing both Uplink Status Flag (USF) bits and Data bits. Data bits may or may not be intended for the receiving wireless terminal. The RF bursts are processed to produce the data block in an encoded format. This data block is then partially decoded to extract the USF bits when the data bits are not intended for the receiving wireless terminal. These USF bits determine when the receiving wireless terminal can transmit or uplink to the servicing base station. The partial decoding may be halted once the USF bits have been extracted from the received data block to reduce power consumption and processing requirements.

Abstract: A process for recovering sodium bicarbonate and ammonium sulfate from a sodium sulfate solution. The sodium sulfate solution can be pure or contain other compounds such as sodium sulfite, carbonate, chloride, fluoride, nitrate and nitrite as would be the case if the sodium sulfate solution were derived from a sodium bicarbonate flue gas purification process. Carbon dioxide and ammonia gases or solid ammonium bicarbonate are added to the sodium sulfate solution to precipitate sodium bicarbonate which is removed from solution. The remaining solution is treated in a unique series of precipitation steps in which reactants are first recycled back to the sodium bicarbonate crystallizer and then the amount of sodium in the solution is adjusted to an amount that allows high grade ammonium sulfate fertilizer product to be produced. The process is accomplished using evaporation and precipitation unit operations in a unique sequence that results in 100% conversion of the sodium salt feed stock to sodium bicarbonate and ammonium sulfate in a commercially viable manner.
