Title: Liquid cartridge and liquid discharge system
Inventor: SUGAHARA HIROTO
IPC: B05C5/00
Filed: 2007-09-28
Abstract: A detection member (115) and a float member (116) fixed to the detection member (115) are provided in a liquid cartridge (110). When liquid within the liquid cartridge (110) decreases and reaches the float member (116), the float member 116 moves along a direction Q1. Simultaneously, as the detection member (115) moves, a light blocking section (162a), a slit (161), and a light blocking section (162b) sequentially come to a detection position (142). Hence, detecting, with an optical sensor, which one of the light blocking section (162a), the slit (161), and the light blocking section (162b) is located enables the remaining amount of liquid to be grasped in at least three stages. In this way, even in a case where a fixed optical sensor is employed, amounts of the liquid left in the liquid cartridge can be detected in multiple stages.

Title: Method and apparatus for saving energy in mobile communication system base station
Inventor: SUO SHIQIANG
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 2011-07-19
Abstract: A method for achieving energy-saving in a mobile communication system base station, for application in an LTE system, comprises the steps of: determining the average value of a downlink sub-frame traffic load; determining, when the average value of the downlink sub-frame traffic load is below a threshold value therefor, an MBSFN, downlink sub-frame which is not carrying multicast traffic; and closing the radio frequency channel corresponding to the multicast symbol in the MBSFN downlink sub-frame which is not carrying multicast traffic. By using the method in the embodiments of the present invention, the number of downlink sub-frames required to meet the communication traffic needs of a current cell is judged according to changes in the traffic load observed by measuring the traffic load values in that cell; sub-frames which can be closed are set as MBSFN downlink sub-frames which do not send multicast traffic; radio frequency channels occupied by the multicast symbol are closed, thereby achieving the object of reducing energy consumption.

Title: Device for determining the efficiency of plates of distillation and/or absorption columns.
Inventor: GYOKHEGYI LASZLO
IPC: B01D3/42
Filed: 1982-04-07
Abstract: For each column section of variable geometry and variable load, there is provided a group of plates (12) comprised of at least three plates having the same geometry or of at least two plates (13, 13/a) having the same geometry and of an air stream dispersion device (14), which group is charged with the air/water system. Each group of plates (12) may be considered as forming a stirred cascade, said cascade comprising stirring basins arranged in series one after the other; each basin corresponds to a plate of the column (13, 13/a), and the liquid contained in each basin is maintained in agitation by the stream of vapor or gas, in the present case, air, supplied from the bottom to the top of the column. It is in such a system that is determined, by a series of measurements on the plates (13, 13/a), the variation of the stay duration of a water soluble and non volatile compound (tracer compound). This compound is introduced in dosed quantity in the water of the upper or medium plate of a group of plates (12) subjected to the testing. Thereby, from the measurement of the variation of the stay duration of the tracer compound on a plate, it is possible to calculate the plate efficiency degree valid for the air/water system. Knowing such efficiency degree, it is possible to deduce by calculation the plate effective index valid to separate an other mixture taken into consideration to be treated by that same distillation and/or absorption column. The actuate calculation replaces the simple estimation for complete distillation and/or absorption aggregates; the construction of oversized columns, as to the number of plates, is not required.

Patent EP-0411088-A4 (EP)
Title: Formation of microstructures with removal of liquid by freezing and sublimation
IPC: H01L21/306
Filed: 1990-02-02
Abstract: Micromechanical structures having surfaces closely spaced from surfaces of a substrate are formed using normal wet etching techniques but are not dried in a conventional manner. While the substrate with the microstructures formed thereon is still wet, the substrate is covered with a liquid that can be frozen, such as deionized water. The liquid on the flooded structure is then frozen in a well controlled manner such that freezing is completed before the microstructure is uncovered. The microstructures are therefore undeflected and are covered by a solid on all surfaces. This solid is then sublimated at a predetermined temperature. Because the frozen liquid (e.g., ice) supports its own surface tension, the microstructures are not drawn toward the substrate, as occurs with the drying of liquids. The sublimation of all the frozen liquid leaves undeflected microstructures with no permanent bonding of the facing surfaces of the microstructure and the substrate.
