Abstract: For the hot dispersion of paper fibers, obtained from used recycled paper, a watery fiber suspension is pressed out at a thickening stage, into a high consistency. The heating energy used when the pulp is heated is registered, and the consumption value is used to set the water extraction operation of the thickening stage and control the consistency of the high-consistency suspension. For the hot dispersion of paper fibers, obtained from used recycled paper, a watery fiber suspension (S1) is pressed out at a thickening stage (3) e.g. a screw press or sieve belt press, into a high consistency e.g. of 15-35%. The heating energy used when the pulp is heated is registered, and the consumption value is used to set the water extraction operation of the thickening stage and control the consistency of the high-consistency suspension (S2). The heat energy consumption is determined by temperature measurements before and after the heater (12), which heats the pulp before it reaches the dispersion stage (1).

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data stream respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability.
