Abstract: A method is provided for separating CO2 from an exhaust gas flow of a combustion process. The method includes: compressing the gas flow and cooling the compressed gas flow. The method also includes feeding the cooled gas flow to a swirl nozzle and separating the CO2 from the gas flow in the swirl nozzle. The method also includes discharging the CO2 which is separated in the swirl nozzle from the swirl nozzle for separate further treatment. A CO2 separating device is also provided that separates CO2 from an exhaust gas flow of a combustion process that operates with fossil fuels. The device includes a swirl nozzle which is exposed to through-flow of the gas flow, a compressor located upstream or downstream of the swirl nozzle, and a plurality of cooling devices which are provided upstream of the swirl nozzle for cooling of the gas flow which comes from the compressor.
Abstract: A wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) user equipment (UE) for receiving a multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS). The UE comprises an MBMS receiver configured to receive data of an MBMS service over one of a secondary common control physical channel (S-CCPCH) or a dedicated channel. After the reception of the data of the MBMS service over the one of the S-CCPCH or dedicated channel, configured to receive data of the MBMS service over the other of the S-CCPCH or dedicated channel.
Abstract: A double-acting device for generating a synthetic jet is provided. The double-acting device includes a chamber having a cavity for a working fluid, a separating element for dividing the chamber into at least two sub-chambers, a control system connected to the chamber for controlling the separating element to act reciprocatingly, an input system connected to the chamber for inputting the working fluid to the chamber therethrough and an output system connected to the chamber for outputting the working fluid from the chamber therethrough. When the working fluid is pushed and pulled by a reciprocating action of the separating element, a train of vortices would be puffed and a non-zero-net-mass-flux fluid is generated through a designed structure and a defined arrangement of the input system and the output system.
Abstract: The file sharing system is able to provide a client with a single logical directory and reproduce the single logical directory in a remote site when the local site has stopped in use of a remote copy that is made between the local site and remote site. The first site provides the client with a logical directory that is constituted across respective nodes in the first site. The remote copy is executed between the first and second sites, and the data of both sites are synchronized. For the generation of the logical directory and the management of the remote copy, a common management table is used, and the management table is held by all of the nodes. In cases where the first site stops due to a fault, the second site utilizes information related to the remote copy in the management table to construct the logical directory and reproduces the logical directory to the second site.
Abstract: A wireless communication system implements wireless communications between a base station and a plurality of User Equipments (UEs) including paging of UEs by initially processing paging indicator information. A first embodiment involves a UE's physical layer L1 being configured for interpreting a paging indicator (PI) to activate a preset decoding configuration to process paging data in a pre-specified paging channel (PCH). A second embodiment involves the physical layer control of a next higher level, L2, interpreting the paging indicator and configuring the physical layer L1 to process paging data in a pre-specified PCH.

Abstract: An ESD protection circuit including an SCR having at least a PNP transistor and at least a NPN transistor such that said PNP transistor is coupled to an anode and the NPN transistor is coupled to a cathode. The circuit also includes a first resistor coupled between the anode and the base of the pnp transistor and a second resistor coupled between the cathode and the base of the npn transistor. A parasitic distributed bipolar transistor is formed between said first and second transistor to control triggering of the SCR.
Abstract: A high current, low profile inductor includes a conductor coil surrounded by magnetic material to form an inductor body. An inductor body is formed around the inductor coil and includes a resin and a magnetic material compressed while it is dry and surrounding the inside and the outside of the coil.
Abstract: A safety coupling for the releasable connection of a nozzle to a duct system is disclosed. The safety coupling is adjustable between a coupled position, in which the coupling parts are coupled together to lock the connection of the nozzle to the duct system, and a decoupled position, in which the coupling parts are separable to allow release of the nozzle from the duct system. An actuating member is arranged to move the coupling member from the coupled position into the decoupled position when the coupling member is subjected to a disengagement force exceeding a predetermined limit value.

Abstract: A remote controller/communicator device is described that aids in answering and processing incoming calls in a manner courteous to those in close proximity to the receiving party. These devices provide a silent, vibrating ring indication in a small wireless device that can be kept close to the user's body. Some embodiments also include bi-directional voice communications with a mobile phone thereby also implementing a wireless headset function. Additional embodiments further include a delayed “courtesy answer mode”, where the receiving party manually activates a recorded or automatically constructed message to be played for the caller, indicating that the receiving party will take their call shortly, and/or is relocating to a location where they will be better able to receive the call.
Abstract: According to the present invention, whether recoding pits are larger or smaller than diffraction limit is determined. Then, a signal process suitable for processing of the recording pits larger than the diffraction limit and a signal process suitable for processing of the recording pits smaller than diffraction limit are divided to divisionally perform equalizer processing. The respective signals subjected to the divisional processing are synthesized to obtain a processed output signal. A reproduction signal with reduced impact of intersymbol interference is thus obtained.

Abstract: A drawer assembly including a drawer and a sliding guide rail system for slidably opening and closing the drawer within an article of furniture is provided. A support bracket for supporting the drawer is provided at each side of the drawer. The sliding guide rail system includes a pull-out rail disposed within each of the support brackets. One of the support brackets has a slot and the pull-out rail disposed within one of the brackets has a recess. A stabilizer arrangement for stabilizing the sliding movement of the drawer is also provided. The stabilizer arrangement includes a guide bracket and a lever. The guide bracket has a protrusion engageable within the support bracket slot. The guide bracket has a resilient grip portion that allows for the guide bracket protrusion to be adjustable laterally within the support bracket slot when the guide bracket is locked onto the support bracket.
Abstract: The configurations of an interleaved flyback converter and a controlling method thereof are provided. The proposed two-phase interleaved flyback converter includes a transformer including a first primary winding having a first terminal, a first secondary winding having a first terminal, a second primary winding having a second terminal, a second secondary winding having a second terminal and a magnetic coupled core device, wherein the first primary, the first secondary, the second primary and the second secondary windings are wound therein, and the first terminal of the first primary winding has a polarity the same as that of any of the first terminal of the first secondary winding, the second terminal of the second primary winding and the second terminal of the second secondary winding so as to eliminate a ripple of a channel current of the converter.
