Inventor: DATSCHEWSKI PETER
IPC: C02F3/28
Filed: 2002-10-11
Abstract: The reactor, for the anaerobic biological treatment of sewage and industrial effluent, has two gas separation units (1,3) spaced apart. A rising pipe (6) leads off the bio-gas separated at both units, passing into the pipe through openings (7).  The diameter of the rising pipe is set to avoid air-lift pump effects. The separation units have gas separators (16), radially to the rising pipe, and at an angle to the pipe of at most90degrees. The rising pipe has openings under the first gas separation unit, for the biomass to pass into the reactor zone, and its upper end is surrounded by an immersed wall (9) to separate floating sludge.

Abstract: involves pressurising wood and injecting water vapour before pressure reduction and dehumidifying. The wood drying method includes the following stages: - a pressure stage in which a set pressure is maintained in a sealed enclosure (1) by injection of a saturated water vapour and maintenance of the pressure for a set period of time, and ensuring forced air circulation with saturated water vapour; - a heating stage at the heart of the wood and in the central zone of the pieces of wood to be dried, by transmission of micro-waves in a frequency range from 400 to 2450 MHz; - an evacuation stage for the water running into the bottom of the enclosure (1), followed by a progressive reduction of the pressure to atmospheric pressure after the micro-wave radiation has stopped. The pressure reduction stage is completed by a dehumidifying of the ambient air in the enclosure, by passage of an air flow from the enclosure onto a humidity absorbing and air cooling system.

Abstract: Data is to be estimated from a received plurality of data signals in a code division multiple access communication system. The data signals are transmitted in a shared spectrum at substantially a same time. A combined signal of the transmitted data signals are received over the shared spectrum (42) and sampled (43). A channel response for the transmitted data signals is estimated. Data of the data signals is estimated (44) using the samples and the estimated channel response. The data estimation uses a fourier transform based data estimating approach. An error in the data estimation introduced from a circulant approximation used in the fourier transform based approach is iteratively reduced.

Abstract: Certain thermoplastic additives that induce simultaneous low clarity and high nucleation efficacy are provided. Such additives include combinations of certain bicyclic salts (which by themselves induce very high nucleation efficacy) and certain benzylidene sorbitol acetals and derivatives (hereinafter collectively referred to as "DBSs")(which alone provide very low haze measurements and thus highly desirable clarity characteristics). In comparison, other types of standard thermoplastic nucleators, such as sodium benzoate and sodium 2,2'-methylene-bis-(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate provide relatively high peak crystallization temperatures, but do not combine synergistically with DBSs to provide the same results as for the inventive combination of bicyclic salts and DBSs.

Inventor: BEST SCOTT C
IPC: G06F1/10
Filed: 2002-06-18
Abstract: An apparatus (50) that reduces sampling errors for data communicated between devices uses phase information acquired from a timing reference signal such as a strobe signal (DQS) to align a data-sampling signal (DSS) for sampling data signal (DQ1   DQN) that was sent along with the timing reference signal (DQS). The data-sampling signal (DDS) may be provided by adjustably delaying a clock signal (CLK) according to the information acquired from the strobe signal (DQS). The data-sampling signal (DSS) may also have an improved waveform compared to the timing reference signal, including a fifty percent duty cycle and sharp transitions. The phase information acquired from the timing reference signal (DQS) may also be used for other purposes, such as aligning received data with a local clock domain, or transmitting data so that it arrives at a remote device in synchronism with a reference clock signal at the remote device.
