  • Publication number: 20190383946
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a distance measurement apparatus, a distance measurement method, and a distance measurement system that permits speedup of operation of a TOF sensor as a whole by speeding up operation of ADCs. In a distance measurement apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure, a light reception section includes a plurality of AD conversion sections for AD conversion of pixel signals read out from the pixels. The AD conversion sections switch between first AD conversion performed with an accuracy of a first bit count and second AD conversion performed with an accuracy of a second bit count that is larger than the first bit count. The calculation section measures a distance to the target by using a result of the first or second AD conversion by the AD conversion sections. The present disclosure is applicable to a vehicle-mounted TOF sensor, for example.

  • Publication number: 20190382903
    Abstract: A process for preparing ammonia via an electrolysis cell may involve feeding nitrogen as a first reactant into the electrolysis cell and using water or water vapor as a second reactant for electrolysis. In at least one step downstream of the electrolysis, there is a separation of other components from the ammonia, such as an at-least-partial separation of nitrogen, water, argon and/or hydrogen. Recovery of the reactants is connected upstream of the ammonia electrolysis. The nitrogen used as the first reactant may be procured beforehand in an air fractionation plant. The process may further involve removing from the electrolysis cell oxygen formed as a by-product in the electrolysis at an anode.

  • Patent number: 10508631
    Abstract: The apparatus and related method employ fluid pressure to first separate the water accumulation chamber from the filtration chamber of a filter assembly by closing fluid flow pathways that allow water to flow into the accumulation chamber. With the chambers separated, fluid pressure is applied to the accumulation chamber to open a drain valve and push water out of the accumulation chamber. The period for which pressure is applied to the accumulation chamber can be regulated by sensors detecting a low water level, or can be timed, or both. When the water removal is completed, the fluid pressure is removed and fluid communication between the filtration chamber and the water accumulation chamber is restored.
