Abstract: The invention relates to a case assembly for antenna amplifying system, an antenna amplifying system and a mast antenna incorporating such a system. According to the invention, the case assembly for antenna amplifying system having a general shape elongated along a longitudinal axis (34) comprises a control module (16) and two amplifying modules (9a, 9b) aligned therewith along the longitudinal axis (34), the control module (16) and both amplifying modules (9a, 9b) each comprising two longitudinal lateral walls (11a, 11b, 11c, 12a, 12b, 12c), an upper surface (36a, 36b, 36c) and a lower surface (37a, 37b, 37c) and having a small thickness.

Abstract: A first substrate may be joined to a second substrate using an adhesive body. The adhesive body is formed from an adhesive composition containing at least one epoxy resin, at least one heat-activatable curing agent, and at least one radiation-curable compound. A first surface of the adhesive body is exposed to an amount of radiation effective to cure at least a portion of the at least one radiation-curable compound present in proximity to such first surface, thereby rendering said first surface less tacky and/or more resistant to deformation. A second surface of the adhesive body is then applied to a surface of said first substrate. A surface of the second substrate is thereafter positioned proximate to or in contact with the first surface of the adhesive body and the adhesive body heated to a temperature effective to activate the heat-activated curing agent and induce curing of the at least one epoxy resin.

Abstract: A floating decanter and method for charging supernatant from a vesel without drawing floating solids or scum into the discharge. The decanter includes a weir (16) having a central opening, and a solid bottom side, a float (12) adjacent to an outer edge of the weir, a weir lift and drive (14) having at least two screw jacks (20) attached to the float and a attachment arm (26) extending to the weir, and an discharge pipe (32) attached to the bottom of the weir. The weir is lowered with respect to the float to discharge supernatant.

Abstract: An ultra-wide band (UWB) waveform generator and encoder for use in a UWB digital communication system. The UWB waveform is made up of a sequence of shaped wavelets. The waveform generator produces multi-amplitude, multi-phase wavelets that are time-constrained, zero mean, and can be orthogonal in phase, yet still have a ?10 dB power spectral bandwidth that is larger than the frequency of the peak of the power spectrum In one embodiment, the wavelets are bi-phase wavelets. The encoder multiplies each data bit by an n-bit identifying code, (e.g., a user code), resulting in a group of wavelets corresponding to each data bit. The identifying codeword is passed onto the UWB waveform generator for generation of a UWB waveform that can be transmitted via an antenna.

Abstract: Benzimidazo[4,5-f]isoquinolinone derivatives are inhibitors of Janus protein tyrosine kinases (Jak), and as such are useful as immunosuppressants, and in the treatment of diseases including asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Method of removing sulfur compounds from olefinic hydrocarbons by contacting with nickel-based sorbents. The method provides for the removal of heavy sulfur compounds including disulfides and mercaptans from pre-treated olefinic hydrocarbon feedstocks used in cumene synthesis to improve the life and efficiency of catalysts used in the cumene manufacturing process.

Abstract: A liquid filtering apparatus is placed in a vessel having a bed of filtration material and an intake for introducing unfiltered liquid, that includes a washbox, an airlifting tube extending from the washbox and including an intake end and means for introducing a primary gas to the airlifting tube, the airlifting tube passing through a central pipe, which extends from just below the washbox to a position just above the intake end. At least one screen cartridge is oriented in a generally angular downward direction in the bed and is in communication with an effluent chamber defined in part by the outer surface of the central pipe. A reject line extends from the washbox, and an effluent collector extends from the effluent chamber. A method of filtering and cleaning the filtration material is also disclosed.

Abstract: A multiple memory card reader is coupled to an information input device. A memory card is inserted in one of a plurality of memory card slots. Information is read from the memory card and transferred to an information input device controller. The information input device controller receives the information and transmits the information to an input/output controller residing within the information input device. The input/output controller receives the information and transmits the information to a computing device.

Abstract: An improved vertical filtration unit which includes an airlift and a washbox designed for more efficient washing of dirt particles from the filtration material. The washbox consists of a filter media shield, and a washbox skirt for washing of the filtration material. A throttling valve on the wash water discharge line regulates the overall cleaning rate of the unit. The filtered liquid is discharged via a riser pipe which feeds into a filtered liquid box before exiting the filtration unit.

Abstract: A belt press having a frame with a first belt and a second belt rotatably mounted on the frame. A curved inlet guide is movably carried on the frame. The inlet guide has a decreasing radius of curvature from an inlet end to an exit end. A positioning assembly is mounted on the frame and is attached to the inlet end of the inlet guide to raise and lower the inlet end of the inlet guide.
