Abstract: Space time coding (STC) may be applied at the transmitter adding redundant information in both space and time dimensions. At the receiver, the received STC signal may be decoded using a spatial multiplexing MIMO decoding, for example, based on either Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) or maximum-likelihood (ML) algorithms. A selective STC decoder may incorporate both the conventional maximum ratio combining (MRC) decoding scheme and a MIMO decoding scheme. One of the STC decoding schemes may be selected, for example, based on estimated channel conditions in order to achieve a trade-off be-tween error rate performance and computational complexity. Components used for a non-selected scheme may be powered down.

Title: Method and device for producing low-tar synthesis gas from biomass
Inventor: TETZLAFF KARL-HEINZ
IPC: C10J3/66
Filed: 2009-07-07
Abstract: Methods for producing synthesis gas from biomass exhibit a high level of tar or require temperatures at which the ash sinters into a glassy mass, thereby rendering it unusable as a mineral fertilizer. The object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to produce a high-quality synthesis gas at a high efficiency.     With the method according to the invention, the tar content in the synthesis gas (l5a) is lowered in that the biomass (1) is split into pyrolysis coke and pyrolysis gas in a fluidized bed reactor (3), both of which are fed to at least one more fluidized bed reactor (11), wherein tars in the largely tar-free pyrolysis coke are catalytically split at a higher temperature without the ash melting point being exceeded. The method according to the invention enables the production of largely tar-free synthesis gas.

Title: Advanced method and apparatus to process bitumen containing impurities
Inventor: CALDERON ALBERT
IPC: C10G1/04
Filed: 2011-09-13
Abstract: This invention relates to open-pit mining wherein crushed bitumen is fed into an enclosed pyrolyzer and heated under pressure in a reduced atmosphere where the cracking of asphalt results in a tar-free bitumen in the form of volatile matter containing a hydrogen rich, non-condensable syngas with vaporized light liquids and incandescent char. The syngas and vaporized light liquids are desulfurized and upgraded in a first hot gas cleanup, while part of the hot char is gasified with air into a fuel gas and into oil-free, tar-free, dry, solid tailings; the other part used as fuel for heating the pyrolyzer.  The fuel gas passes through a second hot gas cleanup, producing clean, desulfurized lean gas ideal to generate clean, efficient electric power. Emitted CO2 is collected and converted to slow-release fertilizer. The tailings (clean sand and clay) reclaim the mine, while fertilizer enriched soil, topping the tailings, accelerates forest growth.
