  • Publication number: 20030099234
    Abstract: A call establishing control unit 6 of a communication terminal A sends a call through a transmission interface unit 5a in a bearer appropriate to multimedia communication, establishes a communication channel, sends a call through a transmission interface unit 5b in a bearer appropriate to a group of additional information and control information and establishes another communication channel. A video codec 1 and an audio codec 2 perform the multimedia communication through a multiplexing and demultiplexing unit 4 and the transmission interface unit 5a. An additional information and control information processing unit 3 performs communication of additional information and control information through the transmission interface unit 5b.

  • Patent number: 6066590
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a harmful gas removing agent used for removing harmful gas such as CO, NO.sub.x, and O.sub.3 from exhaust gases ventilated from automobile tunnels and underground parking, thereby preventing air pollution. The harmful gas removing agent, solving the problems of the conventional adsorbents and catalysts, is capable of efficiently removing NO.sub.x with no need of pre-treatment of adding O.sub.3 to the exhaust gas being treated, as well as being capable of satisfactorily removing CO and O.sub.3 from exhaust gases even at high humidity, and its removing activity lasts for a long time. Furthermore, the harmful gas removing agent can be regenerated by being exposed to hot air at relatively low temperature, thereby being repeatedly used, and is hard to be poisoned by SO.sub.x contained in the exhaust gas.

  • Patent number: 5494572
    Abstract: This process for the desulfurization and denitration of light oil is effected by extraction with an organic solvent containing nitrogen. The invention also relates to light oil desulfurized and denitrated by said process as well as an organic solvent containing nitrogen for the extraction. The solvent is selected from among, for example, hetrocyclic compounds containing nitrogen, such as pyrrolidones, imidazolidinones, pyrimidinones and pyridinium salts, and acid amides. The combination of the process of this invention with any ordinary process for hydrodesulfurization enables the production of light oil having a sulfur content not exceeding 0.01% by weight. Light oil still containing benzothiophenone and dibenzothiophenone derivatives after hydrodesulfurization can be easily desulfurized to yield a desulfurized product not having any undesirable color, or any offensive smell. Also, the extraction of nitrogen compounds and aromatic compound from light oil is effected by the same process.
