Abstract: A two-cycle countercurrent extraction process for recovery of highly pure uranium from fertilizer grade weak phosphoric acid. The proposed process uses selective extraction using di-(2-ethyl hexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) with refined kerosene as synergistic extractant system on hydrogen peroxide treated phosphoric acid, and stripping the loaded extract with strong phosphoric acid containing metallic iron to lower redox potential. The loaded-stripped acid is diluted with water back to weak phosphoric acid state and its redox potential raised by adding hydrogen peroxide and re-extracted with same extractant system. This extract is first scrubbed with sulfuric acid and then stripped with alkali carbonate separating iron as a precipitate, treated with sodium hydroxide precipitating sodium uranate, which is re-dissolved in sulfuric acid and converted with hydrogen peroxide to highly pure yellow cake of uranium peroxide.

Abstract: An electronic signal processing apparatus has a signal switch with a first and a second transistor of normally-on type, having main current channels coupled between an internal node and a switch input and output, respectively. A diode provides a switchable signal coupling between the internal node and ground. A switch control circuit has a control output that is DC coupled to the main current channel of the first and the second transistor via the internal node to control conduction of the main current channels. The diode is also DC-coupled to the internal node so that a DC potential of a terminal of the diode that controls whether the diode is on or off is determined by a potential of the internal node. The diode is preferably incorporated in the DC current path from the control output to the internal node, so that the diode is forward-biased when a control voltage that makes the main current channels non-conductive is applied.

Granted: 2006-12-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique en liaison montante à étalement du spectre amélioré permettant d'obtenir un transfert de paquets plus efficace dans un réseau sans fil. Un station mobile demande à utiliser un canal en liaison montante, généralement, un canal physique dédié. Si le réseau autorise l'accès, une station de base renvoie un message de demande de canal accordée stipulant un moment de transmission et une durée. La station de base démarre les transmissions en liaison descendante audit moment de transmission, puis, la station mobile démarre l'envoi des données par paquets sur le canal physique dédié en liaison montante. Après la transmission d'une durée égale à la durée prévue, la station mobile cesse la transmission en liaison montante sur le canal dédié, et la station de base et/ou la station mobile peuvent immédiatement libérer une ou plusieurs ressources de canaux. Le message d'autorisation et/ou la communication de signalisation ultérieure provenant de la station de base peuvent également préciser un schéma de modulation et un code de découpage en canaux pour le canal en liaison montante.
