Abstract: An apparatus for detecting corpuscles such as blood cells. The apparatus has an aperture and a constant-current source that supplies an electrical current to the aperture for detection of corpuscles. When corpuscles to be investigated pass through the aperture, the electrical impedance changes, producing a signal (herein referred to as the corpuscle signal). The apparatus further includes a pseudo signal-generating means producing a pseudo signal in the form of pulses. The pseudo signal has a peak value proportional to the amplitude of the input current and is equivalent to the corpuscle signal detected when the corpuscles pass through the aperture. A signal selector means is disposed among the aperture, the constant-current source, and the pseudo signal-generating means. The signal selector means assumes either a first state or a second state. In the first state, the current from the power supply is supplied to the pseudo signal-generating means, and the pseudo signal produced by the pseudo signal-generating means is supplied to the aperture. In the second state, the current from the power supply is supplied to the aperture.

Abstract: Refining processes for recovering HF from acid soluble oils (ASO) generated by the HF recovery unit of an HF alkylation unit are provided. ASO containing HF is removed from the HF recovery unit and contacted with water to form a system having two phases, an aqueous HF containing phase and an organic phase. After phase separation, the aqueous HF containing phase passes through a bed of fluidized NaF crystals, where the NaF reacts with the HF to form salts having the general formula NaF·nHF. Flow of the aqueous HF containing phase to the bed continues until exhaustion of the bed, as determined by the detection of HF in the effluent. After exhaustion of the bed, the process provides for the regeneration of the bed and release of anhydrous HF which is then returned to the HF alkylation unit.

Abstract: A system and method to compensate for effects of a recording medium such as film on image data retrieved therefrom. Red, green, blue, and infrared light is sequentially transmitted through film having an image exposed therein to the system which captures corresponding images. The infrared image maps the location, boundaries and intensities of the media defects. The map is employed combinatorially with the other captured images resulting in an image from the film free of the effects of the film defects. In one embodiment the effects of the imperfections are divided out from the red, green, blue spectra in an operation dividing out the infrared image data on a pixel-by-pixel basis. In an alternate embodiment wherein the imperfections substantially prevent transmission of IR light therethrough, the IR image map of the defects is nevertheless employed with an automated fill-in algorithm more effectively utilized due to the precision with which the defect boundaries are known.

Title: Beam compensation methods for satellite communication system.
Inventor: PATTERSON DAVID PALMER
IPC: H04W16/28
Filed: 1992-11-06
Abstract: Earth-fixed cell beam management methods which may be employed to allocate beams generated by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites (12) flying in orbits below geosynchronous altitudes are disclosed. These beams (19) are electronically steered so that they illuminate "Earth-fixed cells" (26) as opposed to "satellite-fixed cells." In a system that employs satellite-fixed cells, the "footprint" of the beams propagated by a spacecraft defines the zone on the ground called a "cell" which is illuminated by the spacecraft. This satellite-fixed cell moves constantly as the spacecraft moves around the globe. In sharp contrast, an "Earth-fixed cell" (26) is a stationary region mapped onto the surface of the Earth (E) that has permanent fixed boundaries, just like a city or a state. Although the rapidly moving satellites (12) still shine their beams over the ground in rapidly moving footprints (16), the locations of the footprints at any given time do not determine the location of the unchanging Earth-fixed cells (26). The great advantage provided by using cells having boundaries that are fixed to an Earth-fixed grid (20) is realized when a subscriber being served by one satellite must switch to another beam in the same satellite or to a second satellite because the first is moving out of range below the local horizon. With satellite-fixed cells, this "hand-off" involves the assignment to the terminal of a new communication channel within the new beam or new satellite. This assignment process takes time and consumes processing capacity at both the terminal and the satellite. It is also subject to blocking, call interruption, and call dropping if there is not an idle communication channel in the next serving beam or satellite. The Earth-fixed cell method avoids these problems by allocating communication channels (frequency, code, and/or time slot) on an Earth-fixed cell basis rather than on a satellite-fixed cell basis. Regardless of which satellite/beam is currently serving a particular cell, the terminal maintains the same channel assignment, thus ameliorating the "hand-off" problem.
