Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'augmenter une entrée d'hydrocarbures dans un four à cuve à réduction directe (12) tout en contrôlant l'uniformité de température de la partie centrale (26) du lit de fusion à l'intérieur du four (12), les gaz hydrocarbures utilisés dans la réduction directe pouvant être préchauffés, ce qui augmente la température des gaz hydrocarbures, et par conséquent augmente la température obtenue du gaz ascendant lorsqu'il s'élève depuis la partie inférieure (66) du four (12) vers le centre (26) du lit de fusion. Dans une variante, une partie du gaz ascendant peut être éliminée avant qu'elle n'entre dans la zone de réduction du four. Le gaz ascendant éliminé, connu en tant que gaz de purge chaud, peut être conduit vers l'épurateur de gaz supérieur (32) du four ou peut être mélangé au flux de gaz de réduction principal du four pour être réintroduit dans le four. Dans une variante, le gaz de réduction chaud peut être directement injecté dans la partie centrale (26) du lit de fusion, décalant l'effet de refroidissement du gaz ascendant. Le gaz de réduction chaud injecté au centre peut être séparé du flux de gaz de réduction principal ou peut être généré par un réacteur d'oxydation partielle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the operating point of a transistor (110) of a power amplifier (100) for amplifying time division multiplex (access) TDM(A)-signals. Methods to compensate drifts of the operating point caused by temperature variations are in principle known in the art. However, the methods known in the art have the disadvantage that they are not precise enough during the operation of such power amplifiers, in particular when amplifying high-frequency TDM(A)-signals. In order to overcome said problem the invention proposes to carry out the controlling of the operating point during null power time slots of said TDM-signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods and systems provide approaches to start code emulation prevention at a granularity higher than the bit level. By operating at a level other than the bit level, processing capability requirements on both the encoder and decoder side can be reduced. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a start code emulation prevention method looks for data patterns relative to fixed-size data portions larger than single bits. When a particular pattern is found, start code emulation prevention data is inserted to prevent start code emulation. The inserted data is larger than a single bit and, in some embodiments, comprises a byte. When a decoder decodes data that has had start code emulation prevention data inserted, it can easily identify legitimate start codes and then can remove the start code emulation prevention data to provide the original data that was protected. In addition, a data stuffing method is described which allows payload data to be rounded up in size to an integer number of byte sizes, and then allows filler data to be added in a manner which is easily detectable by a decoder.

Abstract: Described is a method and a device for more accurate measurement of a gas supply with a gas meter. A consumption-weighted correction factor is determined by weight averaging of a sensor error factor of the gas meter with a consumption profile characteristic of the gas supply location and the measuring signal is converted using the correction factor. Embodiments relate inter alia to: operation of the gas meter as volume, mass or energy meter; formulae for determining the correction factor with sensor error factors and consumption profiles relative to volume, mass or energy; and measuring signal correction in the case of a non-registering or registering gas meter. Advantages are inter alia: subsequent customer-specific measuring signal correction; no additional measuring complexity; and improved measuring accuracy, in particular improved energy measurement by means of compensation for inherent deviations of the energy signal in the vase of heat value variations.
