Patent CA-2462874-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HSU MICHAEL S
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2002-10-04
Abstract: La tendance actuelle en matière de véhicules de transport privés et utilitaires légers est aux véhicules électriques ou à pile à combustible à émission nulle. Le meilleur moyen de satisfaire la demande en électricité pour recharger les batteries de ces véhicules ou fournir l'hydrogène nécessaire aux piles à combustible est d'alterner la production sur place de l'électricité et de l'hydrogène à partir du carburant traditionnel grâce à un système d'alimentation en énergie sur place qui utilise un dispositif de conversion. Cette technique permet de réduire au minimum les changements de l'infrastructure actuelle de l'industrie de stations service pour automobiles et camions et d'éviter toute perturbation du fonctionnement normal de l'industrie de production d'électricité. Le dispositif de conversion sur place hybride hydrogène / électricité est constitué d'un appareil de reformage et/ou d'une pile à combustible. Le rendement du système peut être modifié soit pour répondre à la demande en carburant à hydrogène pour véhicules à pile à combustible soit pour produire l'électricité servant à recharger les batteries d'un véhicule électrique. Les techniques les plus souhaitables consistent en l'utilisation d'un système d'alimentation d'énergie distribué sur site utilise une pile à combustible à oxyde solide haute température pour produire de l'électricité et un système de reformage de la vapeur intégral pour la production d'hydrogène. Un de ces systèmes d'alimentation permet la capture totale du CO¿2? pour séquestration ou pour usage commercial et assurent en même temps une efficacité élevée du système et son utilisation pleine. La fonctionnalité de récupération du CO¿2? facilite la mise en oeuvre commerciale de l'alimentation à émission faible ou nulle pour les installations sur place.

Abstract: A system that prevents a serious deterioration in the quality of decoded sound caused by an audio coded data transmission error, and that reduces an increase in the required transmission band and an increase in the receiver~s computational complex, even in a mode in which no feedback information from the receiver side is used. A code conversion transmission device (100), which receives audio coded data, comprises first to N-th code conversion transmission means (102, 104.bullet.106) that convert audio data into N pieces of coded data and transmit them to M transmission lines (130) with constant or adaptively-varying time intervals among them. The second to N-th code conversion transmission means (104.bullet.106) encode the frames at a compression rate equal to or higher than the compression rate of received coded data. A code conversion reception device (120) allows a selection unit (107) to select a transmission line and allows a code data reconstructing unit (112) to select coded data of the lowest compression rate and good sound quality from normally received coded data in units of one frame or packet to reconstruct coded data.
