Title: Process for removing NOx and SOx from exhaust gas
Inventor: SKELLEY ARTHUR P
IPC: B01D53/60
Filed: 2000-03-14
Granted: 2003-12-04
Abstract: An exhaust gas stream (12) containing oxides of nitrogen and sulfur from a fossil fuel fired boiler, a fired process heater, or a chemical process are diverted from a stack prior to emission to the atmosphere through a duct system (20) to a mixer (22) where an oxidant, such as ozone (30), is added to the exhaust gas at a preselected molar ratio for a preselected residence time to transform the oxides to higher order nitrogen oxides. The oxidized contaminants are treated with a reagent solution (60,78). The reagent solution absorbs the oxidized contaminants and unreacted oxidant in the exhaust gas stream. Nitrogen and sulfur oxides in the gas steam are transformed to dilute acids which are neutralized to form salts suitable for discharge to a municipal waste water treatment plant or landfill disposal. The salt solution is also useful as a fertilizer or in the manufacture of fertilizers. The treated exhaust gas (84) is then emitted from an exhaust stack containing NOx and SOx contaminants at a ppm level meeting required air quality standards. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1998-06-25
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI95/00210 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 15, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 15, 1996 PCT Filed Apr. 12, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/28808 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 26, 1995A handover method and arrangement in which a mobile station measures the reception level and the quality of the signal in the serving cell as well as the level of the signal of adjacent cells. The mobile station transmits the measurement results to a fixed network, which determines the need for handover, and, with the aid of the measurement results, selects at least one adjacent cell as a candidate cell for handover. The handover algorithm has been adapted based on the measurement results to estimate the interference level, such as the C/I ratio, in the candidate cell and select the candidate cell for handover so that the possibility of handover to a cell with a high interference level is diminished. Interference level is also used as a criterion in intra-cell handovers.

Title: Fiber entry whip reduction apparatus and method therefor
Inventor: CHANG CHESTER H
IPC: B65H57/04
Filed: 1999-04-07
Granted: 2001-11-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing or preventing fiber entry whip as the loose end of a fiber being wound on a spool enters a fiber winding device. A fiber winding device includes a spool winder entrance, a winding spool and a fiber whip shield substantially surrounding the winding spool. A fiber entry whip reducer positioned in front of the fiber winding device includes at least one pulley and a guide channel including a straight entry section and a curved section leading to the fiber winding device. The guide channel is formed and positioned such that the loose end of the fiber is maintained against the guide channel by centrifugal force imparted onto the fiber by the curvature of the channel and forward motion of the fiber produced by the rotating spool, thereby producing a trajectory such that the loose end of the fiber enters the fiber winding device and is maintained against the whip shield. By maintaining the free end of the fiber against the guide channel during fiber entry, whip damage to the fiber on the spool due to impact of the fiber end during its entry is substantially reduced or completely eliminated.

Title: Container for chemical hardening substances
Inventor: LANG GUSZTAV DR
IPC: E21D20/02
Filed: 1985-03-14
Granted: 1989-07-06
Abstract: A destructible container is arranged to maintain the components of a multi-component settable mass in separate regions until they are ready to be mixed for anchoring a fastener member in a borehole. The container is made up of an elongated outer cartridge and an inner cartridge positioned within the outer cartridge so that a space for one of the components is formed between the inner cartridge and the outer cartridge. The multi-component mass includes a resin component filled into the outer cartridge and a hardenable component filled into the inner cartridge. The space within the outer cartridge is divided into two separate regions, preferably one following the other in the elongated direction of the outer cartridge. The resin component is present in each region, however, a thixotropic agent is included in one region but not the other so that the viscosity of the resin component is greatly increased within the one region. Preferably, the increased viscosity is present in the region of the outer cartridge forming the trailing end of the container when it is inserted into a borehole so that flow out of the borehole is, for practical purposes, prevented. Accordingly, a resin component which is highly fluid prior to the mixing operation, such as methylmethacrylate (MMA) can be used.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE90/00009 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 3, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 3, 1991 PCT Filed Jan. 4, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/08265 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 26, 1990.A fastening device in the form of a plug and a screw is adapted for installation in a blind bore of a thick wall or in a through hole in a thin wall. The plug is formed as an elongated body having a central longitudinal hole. The body has inner and outer end portions and two parallel slots extending longitudinally between the end portions to define four legs arranged circumferentially around the body. The legs diverge from the end portions to form an increasing diameter for the body which reaches a maximum at the center of the body. When the plug is inserted into a blind bore the legs are displaced inwardly to reduce the size of the central longitudinal hole so that when the screw is inserted into the plug, the screw will exert force on the legs to press the legs against the wall with strong radial forces. When the plug is inserted in a thin wall, threaded engagement between the screw and the inner end portion of the plug produces longitudinal displacement of the inner end portion and radial deformation of the legs to provide clamping pressure at the back of the wall at four distant locations.

Title: Siphon well
Inventor: TEGLUND LARS
IPC: E03F7/00
Filed: 1979-11-07
Granted: 1983-06-02
Abstract: A liquid-plug-creating device includes a collection tank or basin into which liquid flows such as the outflow from sanitary appliances. From the outlet at the bottom of the tank a riser extends upwardly at an acute angle to the horizontal. At the opposite end from the tank outlet, the riser terminates in a bend which reverses the direction of flow through the riser into a downwardly extending vertical pipe. A U-shaped piece of pipe with a horizontal outlet is connected to the lower end of the vertical pipe and provides a special form of trap. When the tank and the riser are completely filled with liquid, any additional liquid added exceeding a minimum flow, causes a liquid seal to be formed in the piece of pipe at the lower end of the vertical pipe. The excess flow creates a vacuum in the vertical pipe which sucks the liquid through the riser out of the tank in the manner of a siphon. The liquid immerges from the device in the form of continuous plugs with high kinetic energy content. The device permits the use of small-diameter pipes in house drainage systems while assuring the required self-cleansing effect, even if water-conserving flush toilets are connected to the device. Other fields of application of the device are irrigation and the metering of liquids in batches.

Title: Method and apparatus for acquiring satellite positioning system signals
Inventor: KRASNER NORMAN F
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 1999-07-15
Granted: 2002-12-19
Abstract: A method and an apparatus which acquire satellite positioning system (SPS) signals in an SPS receiver. Information on time of day, approximate receiver location, and satellite positions are used to reduce the time to search and acquire signals from one or more SPS satellites. In an example of a method of the invention, a first pseudorange to a first SPS satellite is determined, and an approximate location of the SPS receiver is determined. An estimated pseudorange for a second pseudorange to a second SPS satellite is determined from the approximate location and a satellite position of the second SPS satellite. The SPS receiver then searches for SPS signals from the second SPS satellite in a range determined by the estimated pseudorange. Typically, this method reduces the search time to initially acquire SPS signals from the second SPS satellite, and the estimated pseudorange is not based on a previously determined pseudorange for said second SPS satellite. In a particular example of the invention, the approximate location is determined from a cell based information source which correlates an identification of each of various wireless cell sites with an approximate location for objects within a cell of a wireless cell based communication system, such as a cellular (or cell based) telephone system. In other examples of the invention, relatively precise time of day information may be used with information indicating satellite positions and information indicating the approximate location to determine an estimated pseudorange for a first SPS satellite to be acquired.
