Abstract: A molded plastic dishwasher rack support structure includes a rack base portion with plastic walls extending around the perimeter edge.  The rack base portion and walls are formed by a molding process, and include a plurality of cross channels extending between the opposite sides of the rack base portion and opposite side channels extending forwardly and rearwardly adjacent the sides of the rack base portion. Metal structural braces are inserted into the channels of the rack base portion.  The rack is rollably supported in the tub of the dishwasher by a plurality of wheels each having a shaft extending through the adjacent side brace.  The metal braces and wheels transfer the load of the objects in the rack to the tub of the dishwasher, thereby providing structural integrity for the rack.  The braces are slidably movable with respect to one another to accommodate variances in the molding process.  In alternate embodiments, the channels may be sealingly closed with a closure flap.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for recovering a basic amine compound which comprises the steps of (a) supplying a CO2-containing gas to a carbon dioxide absorption unit in which an absorbing solution, which contains a basic amine compound, absorbs carbon dioxide; (b) bringing the gas, from which carbon dioxide has been removed, into vapor-liquid contact with a washing water at a temperature from 20 to 60°C in an amine recovering unit of a carbon dioxide removal tower, recovering part of the basic amine compound accompanying the gas into the water phase and discharging the gas as an exhaust gas of the carbon dioxide removal tower; and (c) collecting the basic amine compound which remains in the exhaust gas of the carbon dioxide removal tower by passing the exhaust gas pass through a demister at a temperature from 20 to 60°C. The basic amine compound can be recovered efficiently from the gas of the carbon dioxide removal tower by using the above process.

Title: Hydrocarbon gas processing
Inventor: WILKINSON JOHN D
IPC: C10G5/06
Filed: 1995-11-06
Granted: 2001-01-09
Abstract: A process for the recovery of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is disclosed. The stream is divided into first and second streams. The first stream is cooled to condense substantially all of it and is thereafter expanded to the fractionation tower pressure and supplied to the fractionation tower at a first mid-column feed position. The second stream is expanded to the tower pressure and is then supplied to the column at a second mid-column feed position. A recycle stream is withdrawn from the tower overhead after it has been warmed and compressed. The compressed recycle stream is cooled sufficiently to substantially condense it, and is then expanded to the pressure of the distillation column and supplied to the column at a top column feed position. The pressure of the compressed recycle stream and the quantities and temperatures of the feeds to the column are effective to maintain the column overhead temperature at a temperature whereby the major portion of the desired components is recovered.

Granted: 2000-04-11
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for testing multi-port memory performs a shadow read to an adjacent memory cell concurrent with a write operation associated with typical read-write testing. In the presence of a bit wire short or a word wire short, the concurrent read of an adjacent memory cell will cause the value of that cell to be corrupted. The corrupted value is then found by the read-write testing. Consequently, the testing takes no longer than read-write testing. In addition, the testing scheme can be modified for memory with read only ports. An embodiment of the apparatus employs an exclusive OR gate on the least significant bit of the test row address line to generate the shadow read address.

Abstract: On utilise des complexes récepteur/ligand de libération ainsi que des kits les mettant en oeuvre dans un procédé de détermination de la présence d'un analyte dans un échantillon. Le procédé consiste à détecter un composant libéré du complexe, récepteur ou ligand. Ces complexes, qui sont stables en l'absence d'un analyte, deviennent instables lorsqu'ils ont été mis en contact avec l'analyte, ce qui se solde par la libération du ligand. On appelle "reland" ou "ligand de libération" ce ligand. On détecte le ligand ou le récepteur libérés par le biais d'un système de détection transporté par l'un ou l'autre. Le complexe récepteur/ligand peut être constitué in situ ou bien peut être pré-constitué.

Abstract: A telecommunications apparatus for transporting ATM cells having either of isochronous units of payload data and asynchronous units of payload data, between receiving and transmitting ports includes a buffer for asynchronously queuing units of payload data received from the receiving ports and for subsequently transmitting the queued units of payload data in a time division multiplex data stream toward the transmitting ports. A timeslot interchanger is used to reorder a time defined sequence of isochronous units of payload data from the first data stream into a second time defined sequence of isochronous units of payload data in a second TDM data stream. An outgoing TDM  data stream is assembled by transferring the first data stream into the outgoing data stream while substituting each payload occurrence of isochronous units from the second TDM data stream into corresponding TDM locations in the outgoing data stream. The outgoing data stream is transmitted toward the transmitting ports whereby telephone calls are connected via the isochronous units of payload data. Delay typically inherent in telephone conversations connected via prior ATM facilities and the consequent severe echo often experienced by users is substantially reduced.

Abstract: The two-way water-layer travel time, ~, is derived from dual-mode seismic sensor data by cross-correlating the Fourier transforms of the sum and difference of the velocity and pressure signatures.  The Z-transform of ~ evaluates one of the two Backus variables, Zw. The second variable is Rb, the water bottom reflectivity coefficient. The frequency-domain transforms of the above summed and differenced signatures are each multiplied by the Backus operator (1+RbZw)2  after initializing Rb and the products are iteratively cross-correlated  until the correlation function converges to a minimum.  Rb is perturbed after each iteration.  The value of Rb upon convergence is the local water bottom reflectivity coefficient.

Abstract: To locate a person within a particular room inside a building or, if outside, within a small enough radius that enables a rapid identification of where that person is located, a system of sensors is strategically disposed throughout the building or area. The sensors are calibrated so that upon activation of an alarm the feedback from all of the sensors enables differentiation of the location of the alarm. To locate an object within a defined area, received values output by the sensors are compared to stored reference values received by the sensors when transmitting reference signals. A best fit of the received values against the reference values is performed to determine the location of the person. To create the stored reference values, a calibration of the sensors is performed. This includes transmitting one at a time a plurality of reference signal levels, and measuring an output of each of the sensors after each transmission. One particularly noteworthy aspect of the present invention is that the sensors are coupled to a central computer via AC power lines in the facility in which the person is to be located. In this case, the AC power lines act as the physical interconnection layer of a local area network.
