Patent EP-1238510-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KOISTINEN TOMMI
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: A method and an intermediate element, or a gateway, for routing an information flow in a telecommunication system comprising a plurality of switching centres. The switching centres are connected with an Internet Protocol (IP) based connection via the gateways, which are arranged to perform speech coding/decoding for an information flow between the switching centres. The gateways are further arranged to detect if the information flow from the switching centre is a data call and to omit the speech coding if the information flow is a data call. The data call detection is performed on the basis of a symbol pattern included in the frame structure of the information flow.

Title: Device for administering liquids
Inventor: FISCHER WILFRIED
IPC: A61M5/148
Filed: 2000-10-31
Abstract: A device for dispensing liquid from a bag has upper and lower casing halves and a closure holding together the casing halves. A pressure piston in the casing can press the bag against the lower casing half. This piston is operated by a rocking lever having an upper end bearing on the upper casing half and a lower end on which the piston is pivoted and a tension spring and flexible element connected between the casing halves and the upper end of the rocking lever and angularly biasing the lever for movement from a generally horizontal position with the piston raised and a tilted position with the piston lowered for applying such a force to the pressure piston that a pressure is generated in the bag that causes the discharge of a constant liquid volume per unit of time.

Title: Dynamic interface aggregation on demand
Inventor: HOENNIG MICHAEL
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: The invention provides for dynamic interface generation on
demand, for example during runtime execution of an
application containing a plurality of objects. A user object
generates a request for an interface of a service object. The
service object, if the interface is not available, generates
an adapter request and transmits same to an adapter manager.
The adapter manager selects an interface adapter based on the
adapter request from a library of interface adapters or
aggregates a composite adapter and transmits the obtained
interface adapter to the service object. The service object
enables access from the user object based on the received
interface adapter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing metallic iron
nuggets with a high yield and good productivity, and more particularly a
method which can produce metallic iron nuggets which have a high Fe purity
and are excellent in transporting and handling due to a large grain diameter
with a high yield and good productivity, when they are produced by reducing
and melting raw material containing iron oxide such as iron ore and
carbonaceous reducing agent such as coke. 
     The method of producing metallic iron nuggets comprises steps of:
heating raw material containing carbonaceous reducing agent and iron
oxide-containing material in a reducing/melting furnace, reducing iron oxide
in the raw material, and then heating and melting the metallic iron produced
by the reduction and simultaneously making it coalesce while separating the
metallic iron nuggets from slag components characterized in that the fixed
carbon content ratio as the carbonaceous reducing agent is at least 73 % and
the volatile matter content in the raw material is not more than 3.9 % are
used, and the mixing content of carbonaceous reducing agent is restrained to
be not more than 45 % in relation to the iron oxide components, which is
contained in the iron oxide-containing material of the raw material.

Abstract: A positioning device (3, 97, 179) with a first displacement unit (25, 189) for
displacing a first object holder (11, 181) and a second displacement unit (27, 191) for
displacing a second object holder (13, 183). The object holders can be displaced by the
positioning device alternately from a measuring position into an operational position and can
be displaced by the respective displacement units independently of one another in the
measuring position and in the operational position. The displacement units are provided
with force actuators which each have a first part (47, 49; 117, 119; 215, 217) which is
coupled to the relevant object holder and which is displaceable under the influence of a
driving force relative to a second part (59, 61; 133, 135, 137, 139; 219, 221) which is
fastened to a balancing unit (69, 149, 205) which is common to the two displacement units.
The balancing unit is displaceably guided relative to a base (81, 209), so that reaction forces
of the displacement units are converted into displacements of the balancing unit relative to
the base, and mechanical vibrations in the balancing unit and the base are prevented. The
use of the force actuators prevents the displacements of the balancing unit from disturbing
the positions of the object holders relative to the base. The positioning device is further
provided with a control unit (83, 169, 237) by means of which at least the parts (47, 49; 121,
123; 219, 221) directed parallel to an X-direction of the X-actuators (39, 41; 105, 107; 211,
213) coupled to the object holders are held in positions parallel to the X-direction. It is also
prevented in this manner that positions of the object holders relative to the base are
interfered with by rotations of the balancing unit caused by the reaction forces of the
displacement units. The positioning device can be used in a lithographic device for the
displacement of a semiconductor substrate relative to an exposure system of the lithographic
device and for the displacement of a mask relative to the exposure system.

Abstract: During operation of a single waste water treatment basin, activated sludge is allowed to settle, prior to the pumped discharge of treated water. The discharge pump is especially switched on for a short time during the sedimentation stage, causing water to rise in an ascending section of the pressure pipe on the discharge side of the pump. The pump pulse causes a quantity of water to return to the basin.  An Independent claim is also included for a discharge pump (28) for clear water which can be regulated to produce a pulse of water during the sedimentation stage in a rising section of pipe (30) downstream from the pump, returning water to the basin (10). The pump gives only a series of short pulses, discharging water only from the rising section of pipe.

Abstract: A thermal energy is converted into a mechanical energy by a thermal converter (21)
including a phase change material whose phase changes between solid and liquid by a
temperature change, so that good thermal conductivity can be secured within a normal
operating temperature range since the phase change material of the thermal converter (21) does
not become a gas and sufficient mechanical energy can be obtained in decreasing an ambient
temperature, thereby enhancing conversion efficiency thereof. Further, since an inside of a
case (22) is not required to be at a high pressure, the case (22) can be easily manufactured and
a compressing means such as a strong spring is not required, thus reducing a size of whole
device (1).

Abstract: Part of a hydrogen sulphide containing feed gas is burnt in a furnace 6 in the
presence of oxygen or oxygen-enriched air. Sulphur dioxide is formed and reacts
with remaining hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour which is extracted by
means of a condenser 16. The resulting sulphur vapour depleted gas stream is
reduced to hydrogen sulphide in a reactor 22. Water vapour is removed from the
gas mixture by condensation in a quench tower 32. A part of the resulting water-depleted
gas stream is recycled to the furnace 6. Another part is sent for further
treatment to form a purge stream. 
     Between the reduction of the sulphur vapour depleted gas stream and the removal of
the water vapour, the pressure of the reduced gas stream is raised by introducing
into it by means of eductors 25 a stream of steam at a higher pressure than the
reduced gas stream.
