Abstract: The device for drying pourable material, such as granulates, powders, fibers, pellets and granules, involves various driers in counterflow with material being fed from a funnel-shaped container with a gas feed device for drying medium with a first outlet aperture in the lower end area of container. The gas feed device (2) has at least one further outlet aperture (15) between the first such aperture (14) and an upper end area of the container (1). The outlet apertures of the gas feed device are arranged on at least one tubular conduit (8), which extends in the direction of a longitudinal central axis (9) of the container. Above the further outlet aperture or both outlet apertures is a guide chute (17), which is pyramidal or conical in shape. The drying gas used is particularly compressed air.

Abstract: It is prevented that magnetic foreign matter adheres the magnet encoder 3a to deteriorate the reliability of rotation speed detection with the sensor 4a. The encoder 3a is provided on the outside of the combined seal ring 19 with reference to the bearing interior space 24, and the sensor 4a faces the encoder 3a. The knuckle 21 is placed close to the housing 33 of the drive shaft member 28 of the constant velocity joint 27 to form a labyrinth seal 20. The width of the clearance of this labyrinth seal 20 is up to 40% of the pitch of adjacent S-poles and N-poles that are arranged on the detected surface of the encoder 3a. With this construction, larger foreign matter is prevented from attaching to the detected surface of the encoder 3a to solve the above subject. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an EAS system and method, a reference antenna is used to spatially separate the interference and tag signal allowing the interference signal to be removed, which improves performance of the EAS receiver. The reference antenna is coupled to the system by an adaptive filter, which can be a software filter that is continually adapting itself to optimum performance. The continuous adaptation obviates the need for manually tuning the coupling network and permits the system to perform at its optimum level over long periods of time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a comparator with hysteresis. With existing comparators having internal positive feedback there is the problem of fast switching requiring a high current consumption. The invention provides a comparator with hysteresis which achieves fast switching despite a low current consumption. The comparator comprises a first transistor (M1) and a second transistor (M2) whose gates form the inputs of the comparator. The main current paths of both transistors are connected to each other at one end, with a third transistor (M3) and a fourth transistor (M4) being provided. The gate of the third transistor is connected to the gate of the first transistor and its main current path is circuited between the one end of the main current paths of the first and second transistor and is connected via the main current path of the fourth transistor to the other end of the main current path of the second transistor. The gate of the fourth transistor is connected to the output signal or inverted output signal of the comparator. The comparator in accordance with the invention may be put to use e.g. in an ASK demodulator such as e.g. in transponders. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of signal processing for telecommunications, and concerns a method and receiver for processing a multi-user signal. In the method of the invention, a multi-user signal is processed by a receiver using an iterative receiver process including the steps of (a) receiving a signal transmission including a plurality of user signals on a TDMA channel, (b) detecting one or more user signals and determining transmission channel estimates for each said user signal, (c) deriving a soft signal for a first user by subtracting, if available, weighted representations of other user signals from the detected user signal of said first user, (d) calculating a-posteriori probabilities for each symbol comprising the soft signal, (e) refining said probabilities utilizing the transmission channel estimate for the first user in an iterative decoding algorithm, wherein a probability is either partially or fully decoded depending on the application of decoder convergence criteria, and (f) returning to step (a), (b) or (c) with the refined probabilities forming part of the weighted representations to be subtracted from detected user signals of other users. This method allows for efficient detection and decoding of multiple user signals by controlling the behaviour of an iterative decoding algorithm operating within an iterative receiver process.
