Abstract: Commercial grade ammonia is purified for use in production of semiconductors by initially passing the liquid ammonia through a liquid phase oil separation system. This removes the vast majority of the impurities. The filtered liquid ammonia is then passed through a vaporizer which quiescently forms ammonia vapor and prevents entrainment of impurities within the ammonia vapor. The vapor passes through a vapor filtration system and subsequently to a bubble column. The bubble column is designed so that the bubbles are small enough and travel at a rate which ensures that any entrapped particle within the bubble will have time to migrate to the surface of the bubble and thereby pass through the liquid phase. The collected vapor is directed through subsequent vapor filters and is collected. If anhydrous ammonia is desired, the ammonia vapor is collected upstream of the bubble column.

Abstract: Battery information is transmitted from a recording and playback apparatus to a host computer. In the host computer, based on the time for which the operation can be continued, corresponding to the current operating status and the remaining battery level, stored in the battery information, a warning is output, the data of a cache memory is written, data writing prohibition is set, and a forced closing process is performed. With this construction, in a system formed of a recording and playback apparatus, such as a CD-R/RW drive unit, and a personal computer, a proper system operation corresponding to the remaining battery level of the recording and playback apparatus is obtained, and the data recorded on the recording medium is prevented from being destroyed as a result of operation stopping due to, for example, the remaining battery level becoming zero. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving searching in a remote unit of a slotted mode, wireless, communication system. In a slotted mode communication system, the remote unit is in an "active state" during its assigned slot. While in the active state, a controller in the remote unit passes selected sets of search parameters to a search engine. The integration interval of the searches performed is based on the measured signal strength of another base station. The search engine performs searches using the integration interval. Searching continues as long as the remote unit is in the active state. When the remote unit enters the inactive state, searching ceases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system that is suitable for bidirectional communication via the electrical network between a headend and numerous users. Said invention can be used for both time and frequency synchronisation of multiple users in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) multi-carrier communication system. The inventive method is characterised in that it consists in generating synchronisation sequences using two identical synchronisation symbols (16) which are transmitted periodically from the headend equipment by means of the downlink to the users. The sampling frequency can then be determined and corrected and, simultaneously, the moment at which the OFDM symbol starts can be determined, such that the samples of the signal received by each user match those used in the transmission. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A communication system is adapted to accommodate changes in bandwidth demand through the use of modular components. According to a preferred embodiment a plurality of communication interface modules, such as radio modules, are coupled to a communication signal processor, such as a multi-port modem, in order to serve an initial bandwidth demand. Thereafter, additional communication signal processors may be added, being coupled to one or more of the communication interface modules decoupled from the initially deployed communication signal processor, to serve an increased bandwidth demand. Preferably, an expansion chassis architecture is used to accommodate a number of communication signal processors at least equivalent to the number of communication information interfaces of the plurality. In preferred embodiments, the communication interface modules operate upon different channels, such as radio frequency channels, although coupling to the communication signal processor upon a same channel, such as a common intermediate frequency channel.
