  • Patent number: 8439202
    Abstract: To effectively utilize coal ash while reducing mercury concentration in cement kiln exhaust gas. Coal ash is received from a thermal power plant or the like; the received coal ash is separated into ash and unburned carbon; the separated ash is utilized in a cement manufacturing facility as a cement raw material; and the separated unburned carbon is utilized in the cement manufacturing facility in accordance with mercury concentration in gas exhausted from a cement kiln of the cement manufacturing facility. In case that the mercury concentration in the gas exhausted from the cement kiln of the cement manufacturing facility is high, in the coal ash, unburned carbon with high mercury content can be treated in facilities other than the cement manufacturing facility without feeding the unburned carbon to the cement manufacturing facility, or the quantity of such unburned carbon fed to the cement manufacturing facility can be adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20020163423
    Abstract: In a radio communication apparatus, on the receipt of a radio signal via an antenna, an address number included in the radio signal is compared with an address number stored in the apparatus beforehand. If the two address numbers compare equal, a message processing section 4 converts a message signal following the address number to characters to be displayed and thereby produces message data. The message data are written to a message storage 7. Further, the message data are compared with an original message stored in a replacement message information storage 5 beforehand. If the message data includes the original message, then a portion of the message data corresponding to the original message is replaced with a substitute message. The replaced message data appear on a display 8. At the same time, an alert section 9 alerts the user of the apparatus to the call incoming.

  • Patent number: 5907289
    Abstract: A radio selective call receiver includes an instruction input device which produces an analog input signal and a radio receiver which receives a radio signal and demodulating it to produce an analog demodulated signal whose amplitude varies in a symbol period. A selector selects one of the analog input signal and the analog demodulated signal and is connected to an A-D converter. The A-D converter is shared between the analog demodulated signal and the analog input signal. An A-D conversion of the analog demodulated signal is performed at intervals synchronizing with the analog demodulated signal. An A-D conversion of the analog input signal is performed within a time period during which the analog-to-digital conversion of the analog demodulated signal is not performed.
