Patent EP-3577078-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GARCIA MARIA FERNANDA
IPC: C02F11/143
Filed: 2018-02-02
Abstract: A process for removing water from a mixture (2) containing a given compound comprises: bringing an ammonia-containing gas stream (3) into contact with the mixture (2), in a treatment container (11), so that ammonia reacts with the water of the mixture (2) forming ammonium hydroxide; maintaining a treatment temperature higher than 27°C, at which the ammonium hydroxide is substantially in a gaseous state; and withdrawing an exhausted gas stream (4) from the container (11), until a final concentrate (2') is obtained having a predefined final ratio of said water to said compound. The water is therefore progressively withdrawn from the mixture (5) while the ammonia-containing gas (3) is fed, without requiring neither a high-temperature heat source, nor a high heat amount, as it is required by conventional processes based on thermal evaporation of water. The mixture (2) can be a homogeneous solution at least at the beginning of the treatment, for example it can be a salt solution, to be concentrated or from which the compound has to be precipitated or crystallized, as in the case of a treatment for removing metal cations from a waste acid, or of a process to crystallize a salt and possibly dry it; the mixture can even be a wet solid such as a mud that has to be concentrated and/or dried. Advantageously, steps are also provided of condensing the exhausted gas (4) and of recovering the gaseous ammonia, preferably using a condenser (30) and at least one treatment reactor (51, 52) using an alkaline reagent (6), in order to recycle the regenerated ammonia (7) to the treatment container (10).

Abstract: A radio frequency circuit for processing a radio frequency signal. The circuit comprises a variable frequency oscillator system and a radio frequency signal processing circuit arranged to process a radio frequency signal using the output of the variable frequency oscillator system. A digitiser is arranged to receive the output of the radio frequency signal processing circuit and generate a digitised signal. A phase noise capture circuit is arranged to capture the phase noise in the output of the variable frequency oscillator system. The radio frequency circuit is arranged to compensate for the effect of the phase noise in the output of the variable frequency oscillator system on the output of the radio frequency signal processing circuit, by digitally processing the digitised signal generated by the digitiser using the output of the phase noise capture circuit.

IPC: B01F15/00

Abstract: The performance of a mixing machine for mixing paints and other fluid bodies is monitored by powering a mix drive and/or a clamp drive in accordance with a program. Torque applied by a motor that powers either of those drives while executing the program is monitored and the program may be modified accordingly. For example, mixing speed and mixing duration may be changed if the level of, or fluctuation of, torque applied by a mix motor suggests that the fluid body has characteristics, such as mass, for which the initially-selected mixing program is inappropriate. Similarly, torque applied by a clamp motor may be monitored to determine maintenance issues and to detect if a container carrying a fluid to be mixed is being crushed under clamping pressure.

The UFS memory system may enter the deep power-down modes based on a command received from the host device or a hardware reset assertion, and exit the deep power-down modes based on a hardware reset de-assertion or power cycling. While in deep power-down modes, the power consumption of the UFS memory device is substantially lower than the power consumption of the UFS memory device in conventional power modes.
