Abstract: Using two alternate units for cooling and heating fluid respectively from the evaporator and condenser of a reversible heat pump. The gaseous effluent loaded with vapors passes through a first condenser fed with a cooling fluid to condense part of the vapors and then through a first adsorbent bed cooled by the cooling fluid circulating in a first heat exchanger to adsorb the rest of the vapors. The purified effluent is ejected. When the first adsorbent bed is saturated by the adsorbed vapors, the gaseous effluent carrying vapors is sent to a second condenser fed with a cooling fluid and a second adsorbent bed cooled by the cooling fluid circulating in a second heat exchanger. Meanwhile, the first adsorbent bed is regenerated by heating with a heating fluid circulating in the first heat exchanger. The desorbed vapors from the first adsorbent bed are sent to the second condenser where they are condensed. When the second adsorbent bed is saturated, the gaseous effluent is sent back to the first adsorbent bed which is again cooled by a cooling fluid, whilst the second bed is regenerated by heating. Thus, each adsorbent bed alternates between adsorption and regeneration. The desorbed vapors are carried by a fraction of the purified effluent from the other adsorber or by ambient air. The vapors to be captured are organic compounds, in particular volatile organic compounds in concentrations from several mg/m<3> to several kg/m<3>. AN Independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out this process, with a first condenser/adsorber (8, 9) containing a first adsorbent bed (1), and a first heat exchanger (10); a second condenser/adsorber (12, 13) containing a second adsorbent bed (2) and a second heat exchanger (14), and an evaporator (6) and a condenser (7) on each side of a reversible heat pump.

Abstract: A method is provided for responding to a resource request from a requesting user node in a network of user nodes. According to the method, a response to the resource request is received at a first user node of the network, and it is determined (e.g., randomly) whether or not to send the response back to the requesting user node. When it is determined not to send the response to the requesting user node, the response is forwarded to a second user node of the network through a direct connection. When it is determined to send the response to the requesting user node, the response is sent back to the requesting user node. Also provided is a user node for use in a computer network having user nodes that are each connected to other user nodes through direct connections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cartridge for medicinal dry powder inhalers, defined as "autoperforating" because it is able to hold a perforating mechanism that  consequently activates the function of spreading its content into the passage of an inhaler until the content is ready for being subsequently inhaled.  The autoperforating cartridge consists of one blister, with rigid basal structure, combined with one lining made of  proper material to be easily broken by a frame preferably plastic. The manual pressing on the back convexity of the cartridge causes the breaking of the basal lining of the cartridge itself and sets the medicinal ready for being inhaled by a delivering-item less or more complex. The  present cartridge is particularly fit for being placed on a single-use inhaler.  '

Abstract: A miniature speaker having built-in electronic components for providing a feedback signal for dynamically adjusting acoustical parameters of the miniature speaker. The miniature speaker includes in the preferred embodiment a housing, a magnetic circuit, a coil, a diaphragm, a sensor, and an electronic circuit. The sensor is formed by the metallized portion of the diaphragm and the metallized portion of the housing cover. The two metallized portions form a plate capacitor, and as the diaphragm vibrates, the capacitance of the plate capacitor changes. These changes are converted into a feedback signal which is combined with the input audio signal in an electronic circuit mounted directly on the diaphragm and which drives the speaker while adjusting acoustical parameters, such as resonance, distortion, and sensitivity. The feedback signal can also be used to protect the active components of the miniature speaker against mechanical stress, thereby prolonging the lifetime of the speaker.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing composite filter stock (14)rovided that includes several steps. In a first step, a paper carrier strip (50) feeds along a conveyor (30). Along one edge of the carrier strip, the paper is folded back against itself. Fibrous filter segments (22) are then deposited on the carrying strip in spaced apart intervals. The spacing defines cavities (16) between adjacent filter segments. The carrier strip with the deposited filter segments is fed along a path (110) of travel into an elongated guide (26) or support chamber that substantially surrounds the circumference of the paper-enveloped segments (22) and which leaves a narrow fill opening (62)opposite an elongated particulate filling opening (112) that is elongated in the direction of motion of the carrying strip. Suction or a vacuum is concurrently applied adjacent the narrow opening (62), the suction increasing a downward momentum of a gravity feed stream of particulate matter (20) and concurrently vacuums away loose particulate matter. The cavities are concurrently filled with the particulate matter over a length (L) corresponding to a predetermined path of travel of the carrying strip. The folded over edge (104) is then unfolded and adhered to seal the fill opening. The filter stock is then cut to length, the cutting being registered to create discrete composite filter segments.

Abstract: A rake architecture for a frequency division duplex FDD and use also in TDD and TD-SCDMA type communications system, designed to significantly reduce the memory capacity required and thereby also reduce an area on the die of an application specific integrated circuit ASIC into which the memory is integrated. A single circular buffer (60), preferably of the shared memory type is shared by all of the rake fingers (RAKE FINGERS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) of a rake receiver to significantly reduce the hardware and software required to time align multipath signals (DATA IN) received by a UE from a base station. The unique time alignment technique also reduces the number of code generators (62,64 and 66) required to track a plurality (typically three) of base stations.

Abstract: Control information associated with data bursts to be switched on a burst-switched router is transmitted using payload envelopes (100) on one or more control channels (16). A control channel scheduling module (86) defines sets of contiguous payload envelopes, referred to as "frontiers" (110). A frontier contains a predetermined number of payload envelopes that could be transmitted over a maximum time difference from the time of arrival of a control packet to a latest time of departure for the control packet. After selecting a control packet, a current frontier is determined from a current time and a frontier index. Scheduling information for the current and next frontiers is stored in memory (116). The memory is searched for an available gap to accommodate the control packet (144) in one of either the current set or a next frontier based on the scheduling information.

Abstract: The present invention delivers a new concept for the identification of allo-antigens, which has so far been an unresolved technical problem, furthermore calls for new strategies in immunotherapy.  Since the analysis of HLA-binding proteins can now be done with allo-antigens for which the corresponding amino-acid sequence is known, the present invention also allows the separation of allo-reactive T cells that only recognize tumor cells from those that mediate GVHD. Antigens defined by the new technology are especially useful for diagnosis and vaccination in cancer and transplantation-related diseases.
