Abstract: A thermochemical energy conversion unit includes a heat expansion assembly including a reactor configured to receive a biomass and convert the biomass into a burnable gas having undesirable materials therein and a biochar. The heat expansion assembly also includes a heat expansion discharge pipe configured to discharge the burnable gas from the heat expansion assembly. The thermochemical energy conversion unit also includes a gas scrubber assembly operatively connected to the heat expansion assembly and configured to receive the burnable gas therefrom and to remove the undesirable materials from the burnable gas. The gas scrubber assembly includes a scrubber discharge pipe configured to discharge the burnable gas from the gas scrubber assembly. The heat expansion assembly and the gas scrubber assembly are configured to be continuously fluidly connected from the heat expansion discharge pipe to the scrubber discharge pipe for generating a continuous flow of the burnable gas therealong.

Abstract: In the T1 PCM carrier system there are 193 bits per frame, 192 of which are used for the channels. The D1 channel bank uses the 193rd bit to identify the division between frames, with a pattern from frame to frame of . . . 010101 . . . . The D2 channel bank uses the 193rd bit of alternate frames, or every 386th bit for framing. Both D1 and D2 have a framing circuit to identify the framing bit by the pattern with a normal mode and a search mode. There is a violation monitor for comparing the pattern of framing bits from frame to frame and indicating a violation if there is a deviation. In the normal mode only the framing bits are examined, and some error tolerance is allowed. Violations are registered in a memory device to check if a preset threshold is exceeded. When the threshold is exceeded, a misframe is declared, and the circuit goes into a search mode to examine other bit positions for the framing pattern. No error tolerance is allowed in the search mode.
