Abstract: In a method for treating waste water containing ammonium salts, sodium sulfate crystal is obtained by freezing crystallization, then the pH value of the waste water is adjusted to a specific range, and next sodium chloride crystal and ammonia water is obtained by evaporation. Alternatively, the pH value of the waste water is adjusted to a specific range, then sodium chloride crystal and ammonia water is obtained by evaporation, and next sodium sulfate crystal is obtained by freezing crystallization. This method can recover ammonia, sodium sulfate, and sodium chloride from the waste water.

In the method of the present invention, the pH value of the waste water to be treated is adjusted to a specific range in advance; sodium sulfate crystal and relatively concentrated ammonia are obtained by first evaporation, and then sodium chloride crystal and relatively dilute ammonia is obtained by second evaporation; alternatively, sodium chloride crystal and relatively concentrated ammonia is obtained by third evaporation, and then sodium sulfate crystal and relatively dilute ammonia are obtained by fourth evaporation. The method of the present invention can recover ammonia, sodium sulfate, and sodium chloride from the waste water respectively, so that the resources in the waste water can be reused as far as possible.

Abstract: A method for on-line diagnosing gradually-changing fault of electronic current transformers comprises the following steps collecting output signals of electronic transformers of a whole transformer substation, calculating theoretical instantaneous values of the current at the tail ends of power transmission lines and on secondary sides of transformers at every moment, comparing the theoretical instantaneous values with the corresponding collected values, calculating residual errors of the electronic current transformers at the head and tail ends of each power transmission line and the primary and the secondary sides of each transformer respectively, judging whether gradually-changing fault occurs with the electronic current transformers by comparing the residual errors with preset threshold values, and simultaneously performing Kirchhoff detection by injecting current into a busbar to position a fault transformer.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are directed to calibrating a misconfigured wireless access point. One method may include receiving a position of mobile station(s) and wireless signal model measurements derived from packets exchanged between the mobile station(s) and a plurality of wireless access points, receiving positions and/or identities of the plurality of wireless access points used in determining the position of the mobile station(s), comparing a position of the mobile station(s) with wireless signal model measurements, and identifying a misconfigured wireless access point based upon the comparing. Another method may include receiving positions associated with a plurality of wireless access points, determining a position of a mobile station based upon a wireless signal model, comparing the position of the mobile station and the wireless signal model with the positions associated with the plurality of wireless access points, and determining whether at least one wireless access point is misconfigured.

Abstract: The present invention relates to valved cryogenic refrigerators, in particular, Gifford McMahon (GM) refrigerators, and GM type pulse tube refrigerators where gas is cycled between high and low pressures by a valve mechanism that connects to an expander. Input power is reduced by use of a buffer volume which stores gas that flows to and from the warm end of the regenerator through a valve that opens and closes during the periods when the main supply and return valves are closed and is closed when the main supply and return valves are open.

Abstract: A multi valve two-stage pulse tube type GM refrigerator having a rotary valve that comprises one track for flow to the regenerator and two tracks for flow to the pulse tubes where the valve has two high pressure ports to the pulse tubes located on a single track and two low pressure ports from the pulse tubes located on a separate single track and where there are two cooling cycles per revolution of the rotary face valve.

Abstract: A rotary valve unit which reduces the torque required to turn the valve disc, and the amount of wear dust that is blown into the cold head, using differential gas forces to keep the valve disc in contact with the valve seat, and which enables larger diameter valve discs to be utilized for multi-ported pulse tubes that have less force on the face of the valve disc, resulting in reduced torque and reduced wear rate.

Abstract: An improved method of reducing wear dust and torque required to turn a multi-port rotary disc valve utilizes a thrust bearing to hold the valve seat and/or valve disc such that they are not in contact with each other, or have light contact each other.

Abstract: Convection losses associated with different temperature profiles in the pulse tubes and regenerators of multi-stage pulse tubes mounted in helium gas in the neck tube of a MRI cryostat are reduced by providing one or more of thermal bridges, and/or insulating sleeves between one or more pulse tubes and regenerators, and/or spacers, and spacer tubes, in one or more pulse tubes and regenerators.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide human enzymes (ENZM) and polynucleotides which identify and encode ENZM. Embodiments of the invention also provide expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. Other embodiments provide methods for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disorders associated with aberrant expression of ENZM.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved means of quickly warming a pulse tube (165) by shifting the phase relation of flow to the warm end of the pulse tube relative to flow to the warm end (117) of the pulse tube relative to flow to the warm end of the regenerator (160) using a “four valve” concept and the “active buffer” concept. Several different pulse tube configurations and valve timing relations that are effective at reversing the cycle from the normal mode, which produces cooling at the pulse tube heat station, to a reverse mode that produces heating are disclosed.

Abstract: A cryopump control system with single or multiple cryopumps is controlled by a parallel system operating modules connected by two low voltage wires. A separate cable is also connected to the operating module to provide power to various cryopump components. Communication is via a bus that communicates directly with IC devices in the operating modules that also contain small capacitors to enable the control system to be run by a single computer processor in which all of the logic for controlling one or more cryopumps and communicating with additional optional components resides.
