Title: Systeme de traitement d'eaux usees
Inventor: HAWES PHILIP B
IPC: C02F3/32
Filed: 1992-09-18
Abstract: L'invention décrit un système transportable de traitement d'eaux usées. Ledit système comprend des réservoirs de retenue anaérobies servant à la digestion anaérobie des déchets, ainsi que des marécages aérobies (20, 34 et 42) servant à la digestion aérobie des déchets. Le système de traitement possède un volume relativement petit de 1.000 à 2.000 litres environ pour chaque personne utilisant le marécage. La digestion aérobie dans les marécages est stimulée par les plantes aquatiques et par les plantes poussant dans un sol humide, ainsi que par les microorganismes associés auxdites plantes et se développant dans les marécages. Les plantes à croissance sur sol humide sont cultivées dans des couches de terre et de gravier (30 et 46) dans le marécage. La terre et le gravier sont déposés en couches sur la partie inférieure du marécage autour de chicanes (26, 28, 38, 39, 48 et 50) en fonction d'une configuration constituant un canal d'eau ouvert (36 et 44). Les plantes aquatiques sont plantées dans ledit canal. La présence des chicanes permet de canaliser les eaux usées le long d'un trajet sinueux à travers les marécages. L'invention décrit également des moyens de recyclage des eaux usées traitées vers les réservoirs de retenue ou vers les marécages, dans le cas où un traitement supplémentaire est souhaitable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bicycle and a method for powering same, said bicycle comprising a manpower drive system and an electric motor drive system in parallel to each other. According to the present invention, the delay between motor force generation in response to a variation of the riders pedal depressing force after passing top or bottom dead centres of the crank pedals are minimized or substantially zero by means of that a minimal drive voltage of the electric motor is maintained on a level of a non-load drive voltage which corresponds to a motor revolution speed which represents the cruising speed of the vehicle. Accordingly, the pedal depressing force, as well as the bicycle speed, are detected and the electric motor of the electric motor drive system is supplied with a motor voltage which, at least, leads to a motor revolution speed corresponding to the cruising speed of the bicycle.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for preparing the inorganic hardenable slurry and the use of same in the solidification of wastes. In addition to water, the essential parts of the slurry are inorganic components including borates, cement-base powder and other additives such as magnesium oxide, gypsum and silica. The solidification of the slurry is resulted mainly from reaction of borates and the cement-base powder and to obtain a best result the weight of borates must be the same as that of the cement-base powder or even higher than the weight of the latter. 
     The present invention also teaches a method for solidifying wastes with this hardenable slurry, i.e. to proceed solidification by admixing the various radioactive or non-radioactive dry and wet wastes with the hardenable slurry, or by burying waste pellets with the slurry.

Abstract: Improved method and apparatus for vector quantization (VQ) to build a codebook for the compression of data. The codebook (600) or 'tree' is initialized by establishing N initial nodes (610) and creating the remainder of the codebook as a binary codebook (650). Children entries (670) are split upon determination of various attributes, such as maximum distortion, population, etc. Vectors obtained from the data are associated with the children nodes, and then representative children entries are recalculated. This splitting/reassociation continues iteratively until a difference in error associated with the previous children and current children becomes less than a threshold. This splitting and reassociating process continues until the maximum number of terminal nodes is created in the tree, a total error or distortion threshold has been reached or some other criterion. The data may then be transmitted as a compressed bitstream comprising a codebook and indices referencing the codebook.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à l'amélioration d'un appareil de traitement d'une récolte agricole. Cet appareil de traitement possède une structure qui permet de séparer les déchets d'une récolte afin d'obtenir un produit de récolte épuré; l'appareil comporte un élévateur (50) qui soulève et amène le produit de récolte jusqu'à un point d'utilisation tel qu'un silo, ou analogue. L'amélioration consiste en une structure comportant un bras d'actionnement (102) qui produit un signal indiquant qu'une pression est appliquée sur le bras d'actionnement. La structure produisant le signal est fixée à l'appareil de traitement de la récolte de façon que le bras d'actionnement intercepte le produit de récolte épuré se déversant de l'élévateur. Cette valeur de pression peut être mise en corrélation avec d'autres données, à savoir, la largeur de la moissonneuse-batteuse, la vitesse de l'élévateur, la vitesse d'avance de l'appareil de traitement de la récolte, la densité de la matière (livres/botte) afin de générer une valeur du taux d'écoulement qui peut être tracée en continu pour obtenir un relevé d'une récolte d'un champ.
