Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for digesting biodegradable packaging waste and an apparatus thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of treating biodegradable packaging waste prior to subjecting the biodegradable packaging waste to a biological valorisation process and an apparatus thereof. The apparatus includes a tank for receiving the biodegradable packaging waste therein, the tank comprises a top portion and a bottom portion below the top portion, an air supply module adapted to supply air into the tank, a microbe injector adapted to inject mesophilic microbe into the tank, such that the tank is adapted to receive the biodegradable packaging waste, air and mesophilic microbe therein, wherein the biodegradable packaging waste is subjected to mesophilic aerobic digestion prior to conveying the biodegradable packaging waste from the tank to a biological valorisation system to subject the biodegradable packaging waste to the biological valorisation process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a film with low an optical retardation and thus low stress birefringence which contains at least one layer containing at least one polycarbonate or co-polycarbonate and which, on account of its optical properties, is suitable for use in opto-electronic devices, e.g. in displays and touch panels, as well as to a process for the production of such films and to the use thereof.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a phase-locked loop (PLL) may include circuitry to select a wide pulse width for the phase-frequency detector control signal when the PLL is in a frequency acquisition stage, a narrow pulse width for the phase-frequency detector control signal when the PLL is in a phase capture stage, and a wide pulse width of the phase-frequency detector control signal when the PLL is in a lock stage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting parameters of a digital ad and third-party traffic based on a difference in time between geographic regions are disclosed. Generally, a monitoring module of an online advertisement service provider monitors performance information associated with a digital ad directed to potential customers in a first region associated with a first time zone to determine if the digital ad is performing well or performing poorly. Based on the monitored performance information associated with the digital ad directed to potential customers in the first region, at least one parameter associated with a digital ad directed to potential customers in a second region associated with a second, later time zone is adjusted to more effectively target the digital ads to potential customers in the second region.

Abstract: An electrical apparatus which is configured with an antenna, transceiver, or repeater for transmission or reception over a wireless interface. In one embodiment, the appliance interfaces to a user device through a system which includes the power distribution system of the apparatus. In another embodiment, the apparatus, optionally in combination with a user device, forms a node of a wireless communication system.

Abstract: A communications device configured to receive FSK-encoded CLASS caller ID information is also configured to exchange FSK-encoded data with a peer device over a channel previously established between the two devices. In one embodiment, the channel is a voice channel previously established between the two devices.
