Patent EP-1519781-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DAVEY WILLIAM
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2003-04-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a system unit for desorbing carbon dioxide and other impurities from highly pressurized methanol. Said system unit comprises at least one or more expansion vessels arranged in succession, at least one heat exchanger, and at least one liquid/gas separator. The inventive system unit contains: a) a line (1) through which the intensely cooled methanol leaving expansion vessel (C) is introduced into the heat exchanger (E) from underneath, and; b) a line (2), though which the heated methanol is drawn out of the heat exchanger (E) from the top, and which serves to connect said heat exchanger to a liquid/gas separator inside of which the remaining carbon dioxide still contained in the methanol is desorbed and separated out to the greatest possible extent. This system unit enables the cold due to evaporation, said cold resulting during the desorption of carbon dioxide, to be obtained inside a heat exchanger and constitutes an important cold energy source for carrying out absorption.

Abstract: An undesirable side effect of watermarking or data-hiding schemes is that the host signal is distorted. This invention discloses a reversible or lossless data-hiding scheme, which allows complete and blind (without additional signaling) reconstruction of the host signal (X). This is achieved by accommodating, in the embedded data (d) of the watermarked signal (Y), restoration data (r) that identifies the host signal, given the composite signal, i.e. the restoration data identifies (24) which modifications the host signal has undergone during embedding (23). The restoration data is accommodated in a portion of the embedding capacity of a conventional embedder (23). The remainder of the capacity is used for embedding payload (w).

Abstract: A silicon single crystal rod (24) is pulled from a
silicon melt (13) molten by a heater (17), and a change in
diameter of the silicon single crystal rod every
predetermined time is fed back to a pulling speed of the
silicon single crystal rod and a temperature of the heater,
thereby controlling a diameter of the silicon single
crystal rod. A PID control in which a PID constant is
changed on a plurality of stages is applied to a method
which controls the pulling speed of the silicon single
crystal rod so that the silicon single crystal rod has a
target diameter and a method which controls a heater
temperature so that the silicon single crystal rod has the
target temperature. 
     A set pulling speed for the silicon single crystal
rod is set so that V/G becomes constant, and an actual
pulling speed is accurately controlled so as to match with
the set pulling speed, thereby suppressing a fluctuation in
diameter of the single crystal rod.

a second microchannel 2 through which a spheroidizing
disperse phase 7 flows. The colored continuous phase
comprising colored phases 6a,6b of different hues and the
spheroidizing disperse phase 7 are in an O/W (oil-in-water)
or W/O (water-in-oil) relationship with each other. The
colored phases 6a, 6b for constituting the colored 
continuous phase are transferred into the first
microchannel 1, and the colored continuous phase comprising
the colored phases 6a,6b are discharged continuously or
intermittently at a predetermined flow rate F2 (ml/hr) into
the spheroidizing disperse phase 7 which flows through the
second microchannel 2 to spheroidize the discharged colored
continuous phase having two hues and to cure the
polymerizable resin component in the colored continuous
phase, whereby colored spherical polymer particles are
