Abstract: A method for purifying sludge suspected of containing heavy, toxic and/or precious metals in order to extract them, the sludge being suspended in an aqueous solution and together forming a mass to be treated. FeCl<SUB>3 </SUB>is mixed with the mass, until an acidic pH of the solution is obtained. (CO<SUB>2</SUB>H)<SUB>2 </SUB>and NH<SUB>4</SUB>Cl are then mixed with the mass until metal pro-chelates are formed. Mixed alkali sulfides are then mixed with the mass until a solution with a very basic pH is obtained, to form colloidal complex iron chelates, which trap the metals. The solution is neutralized by adding an acid, until alkaline-ferrous sulfides and hydroxides containing the metals are precipitated. The mass is then centrifuged to form from the mass a liquid phase and a solid phase, the solid phase containing the alkaline-ferrous sulfides.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de reproduction audio/vidéo pouvant être relié à un réseau de communications aux fins de reproduire, de manière sélective, des objets de matériel audio/vidéo à partir d'un support d'enregistrement, en réponse à une demande reçue via le réseau de communications. L'appareil de reproduction audio/vidéo peut comprend un processeur de commande conçu, lorsqu'il est utilisé, pour recevoir des données représentant la demande pour l'objet de matériel audio/vidéo par l'intermédiaire du réseau de communications. Un processeur de reproduction fonctionne en réponse à des signaux identifiant les objets de matériel audio/vidéo provenant du processeur de commande en vue de reproduire les objets de matériel audio/vidéo. Les données identifiant les objets de matériel audio/vidéo comprennent des métadonnées indicatrices des objets de matériel audio/vidéo. Ces métadonnées peuvent se présenter sous la forme de UMID, identité de bande et des codes temporels ainsi qu'un numéro de référence unique identifiant les objets de matériel. Afin de faciliter l'identification et la sélection de matériel audio et/ou vidéo, un appareil de traitement audio et/ou vidéo est conçu pour traiter des signaux vidéo et/ou vidéo représentant du son et/ou des images. L'appareil de traitement comprend un détecteur d'activité destiné à générer un signal d'activité indicateur de la quantité d'activité présente dans le son/images représentés par le signal audio/vidéo, et un générateur de métadonnées couplé au détecteur d'activité destiné à générer des images d'échantillon au niveau de positions temporelles dans le signal audio/vidéo, ces positions temporelles étant déterminées à partir du signal d'activité. L'appareil de traitement facilite par conséquent la génération automatique de métadonnées à partir des signaux audio/vidéo reçus. Les métadonnées peuvent être utilisées aux fins de sélectionner le matériel audio/vidéo.

Filed: 2001-05-16
Granted: 2006-11-08
Abstract: A navigation guidance system is provided which provides direction information from a remote server to a mobile user unit for guiding user to a desired destination. The navigation guidance system maintains time-related models for traffic speeds expected on road segments of a road database. By maintaining such time-related models, the system can more accurately provide the user with road guidance instructions to arrive at a chosen destination by a given time. The system can also provide more accurate route guidance information to a destination over different routes, even during rush hour or at off peak times. These time related models can be changed as a result of changing traffic patterns or as a result of an incident on a road segment. In a preferred embodiment, therefore, the system continuously monitors each calculated route and advise the users of alternative routes or of updated departure or arrival times as appropriate.
