Title: Thermal power plant with carbon dioxide capture scrubbing equipment
Inventor: MISHIMA NOBUYOSHI
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2012-01-30
Abstract: A thermal power plant comprising carbon dioxide capture scrubbing equipment that suppresses reductions in the efficiency and output of the steam turbine, and at the same time, reducing variations in the amount of steam supplied from a solar heat collection apparatus to the reboiler and variations in the temperature and pressure of reboiler generated steam, and stably carries out reactions for separating carbon dioxide from an absorbent by heating. The thermal power plant provided with carbon dioxide capture scrubbing equipment includes the carbon dioxide capture scrubbing equipment for capturing carbon dioxide from a boiler exhaust gas and the solar heat collection apparatus. Steam generated by the solar heat collection apparatus is supplied to the reboiler provided for a regeneration tower of the carbon dioxide capture scrubbing equipment. When the amount of steam generated by the solar heat collection apparatus decreases to an amount lower than the amount of steam required for the reboiler, extraction steam extracted from the steam turbine is supplied to the reboiler. When the amount of steam generated by the solar heat collection apparatus exceeds the amount of steam required for the reboiler, the surplus steam is discharged to a condenser.

Title: Audio Processing Device, System, Use and Method
Inventor: PEDERSEN MICHAEL SYSKIND
IPC: G10L21/00
Filed: 2012-03-23
Abstract: AUDIO PROCESSING DEVICE, SYSTEM, USE AND METHOD The application relates to an audio processing device comprising a) an input unit for converting a time domain input signal to a number Ni of input frequency bands and b) an output unit for converting a number No of output frequency bands to a time domain output signal. The application further relates to the use of such device and to a method of processing an input audio signal. The object of the present application is to provide a flexible audio processing scheme, e.g. adapted to characteristics of the input signal. The problem is solved in that c) a signal processing unit adapted to process the input signal in a number Np of processing channels, the number Np of processing channels being smaller than the number Ni of input frequency bands, d) a frequency band allocation unit for allocating input frequency bands to processing channels, e) a frequency band redistribution unit for redistributing processing channels to output frequency bands, and f) a control unit for dynamically controlling the allocation of input frequency bands to processing channels and the redistribution of processing channels to output frequency bands. This has the advantage of allowing the audio processing to be optimized to a particular acoustic environment and/or to a user's needs (e.g. hearing impairment) with a view to minimizing power consumption and/or processing frequency resolution. The invention may e.g. be used in applications where processing resources are limited, e.g. in portable devices subject to size and/or power consumption constraints.

Title: Briquetting of low rank coals
Inventor: GUO JIAN
IPC: C10L5/06
Filed: 2013-05-17
Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for producing briquettes of low-rank coal. The apparatus includes a supply of brown or other low rank coal in particulate form, and a heater and dryer to produce particulate coal in a partially dry state, the heating being sufficient to 5 evaporate water within the coal particles so that the water vapour displaces non-condensable gases within the particles and in the surrounding atmosphere. A feeder feeds the heated and partially dried particulate coal to a briquetting station where a hydraulic press compresses the heated and partially dried particulate coal so that during the compression water vapour within the coal particles, particularly steam from evaporation within the particles which occupies the to voids or pores of the particulate coal and minimises the presence of non-condensable gases, is compressed so as to condense and contribute to binding of the coal particles thereby forming within the hydraulic press adherent briquettes with suitable strength. A discharge system discharges the briquettes from the hydraulic press and from the briquetting station. I/a Cor C>o CC"

Title: Ovarian neuromodulation and associated systems and methods
Inventor: SOBOTKA PAUL
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2013-03-07
Abstract: Methods for treating polycystic ovary syndrome with therapeutic ovarian neuromodulation and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. Polycystic ovary syndrome can be associated, for example, with a condition including at least one of oligo/amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and increased cardiovascular risk profile. One aspect of the present technology is directed to methods that at least partially inhibit sympathetic neural activity in nerves proximate an ovarian artery of an ovary of a patient. Sympathetic drive in the patient can thereby be reduced in a manner that treats the patient for the polycystic ovary syndrome. Ovarian sympathetic nerve activity can be modulated along afferent and/or efferent pathways. The modulation can be achieved, for example, using an intravascularly positioned catheter carrying a therapeutic assembly, e.g., a therapeutic assembly configured to use electrically-induced, thermally-induced, and/or chemically-induced approaches to modulate the ovarian nerve.
