  • Patent number: 6865186
    Abstract: A multilevel analog recording and playback system is described. An analog processing circuit processes analog data. A storage circuit includes a non-volatile memory array, a switching circuit, and a communication interface. The non-volatile memory array stores analog and digital data. The switching circuit transfers the analog and digital data to and from the memory array. The communication interface allows a processor to exchange information with the device.

  • Patent number: 5959876
    Abstract: A single chip, single or dual message multilevel analog signal recording and playback system is described. In one embodiment, the system comprises a record circuit, an analog storage array, a playback circuit, and a control circuit that independently controls signal storage segments and duration capability. The record circuit receives an audio signal and generates a filtered signal, which is stored in the analog storage array. The playback circuit is coupled to the storage array for retrieving the stored signal for playback. The system further includes a mixer circuit which receives an auxiliary signal and mixes the auxiliary signal with the stored signal during playback. The control circuit also features a novel audio, visual, and input/output functionality.

  • Patent number: 5453562
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating chemical contaminants such as volatile and semi-volatile chemicals and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), even if the contaminants are present at low concentrations, from mixed wastes, such as soils or sludges contaminated with hazardous and radioactive components. The process comprises subjecting the mixed waste to vacuum at a temperature effective to volatilize the contaminants but below incineration temperature, while continuously removing the evolved vapors, for a period of time sufficient to effect the desired degree of separation of the volatile and semi-volatile contaminants. The evolved vapors may be collected and condensed for off-site disposal and the remaining solids may be properly disposed of or further treated.

  • Patent number: 5253597
    Abstract: A method for economically separating chemical contaminants such as volatile and semivolatile organic chemicals and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), even if the contaminants are present at low concentrations, from inert materials such as soils or sludges is disclosed. The process comprises subjecting inert materials contaminated with chemical compounds to vacuum at a temperature effective to volatilize the contaminants but below incineration temperature, while continuously removing the evolved vapors, for a period of time sufficient to effect the desired degree of separation of contaminants. The evolved vapors may be collected and condensed for off-site disposal.
