Title: Switching system
Inventor: PARK HYUNG SIK
IPC: H04Q7/00
Filed: 1998-02-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a switching system which can control a corresponding load by means of manipulating a manual switch and a remote control switch (107), and optionally turn on/off any load among a plurality of loads via a telephone line even though a user is at any distant places beyond the remote control of loads. The switching system of the present invention recognizes an allowed subscriber by inputting a predetermined password, and confirms a turning-on/off state of loads connected to a switching set unit via a voice to then control turning-ON/OFF of the corresponding load via button manipulation of a telephone set. Accordingly, the switching system can perform manual switching control or remote switching control using a remote controller (107), and also carry out switching control with regard to any load via the telephone line even under a poor condition of remote control, thereby conveniently confirming and manipulating a state of loads regardless of places.

Title: Method for the organizational indexing, storage, and retrieval of data according to data pattern signatures
Inventor: DOUTHAT DEAN Z
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-04-08
Abstract: A computer control program directs a method whereby a computer reads a data entry record group from a data stream, wherein the data entry record group comprises one or more data entry records containing a key field containing an item. A key number representing the total number of key fields in the data entry record group is tallied, and a marker that allows for locating, and determining the size of, the data entry record group within the stream of data is recorded. The computer converts each item of the data entry record group to fixed length coded equivalence called an item indicator, and converts the item indicators to a fixed length coded equivalence called a signature. The computer creates a partial index record for each signature, and updates a combination cross-reference file and a raw data index, thereby classifying the data to allow for subsequent searching by persistent fast search methods.

IPC: C02F1/78
Filed: 1998-03-05
Abstract: An acidic organics-containing waste water stream (12) derived from for example plant for the production of an aromatic carboxylic acid such as terephthalic acid is treated to allow recovery of alkali and water for recycle to the production process. The treatment comprises adjusting the pH of the waste water stream using an alakaline medium, oxidising (10) the organics content of the stream to convert the same to water, carbon dioxide and (bi)carbonate ions, and supplying the treated stream to a reverse osmosis membrane (28, 30) to produce a retentate containing (bi)carbonate ions and cations derived from the alkaline medium and a permeate which is substantially free of those components. The retentate (46) is recycled for use in adjustment of the pH of the waste water stream and, if desired, water-consuming facilities which can tolerate less pure water. The permeate (44) may also be recycled, with or without further treatment, for use in water-consuming facilities within and/or associated with the production plant.
