Abstract: Methods and apparatus for pollution control which are well suited for use in a coal power plant are described. Ash is collected and injected into the flue gas stream at a location upstream of a cooling module. The ash acts as an absorbent and/or reactant material onto which condensate may condense. By re-introducing ash to keep the condensation forming wet areas within the system, lower cost materials which are less corrosion resistant than needed for wet operating conditions can be used. Mercury recovery and SO3 removal is facilitated by the cooling process and re-introduction of collected ash. Activated carbon and/or an alkali absorbent material may be added. Use of a dry ESP and/or fabric filter as opposed to a wet ESP for particulate collection leads to cost benefits. Energy recovered by the cooling of the flue gas may be re-used to heat turbine condensate leading to improved energy efficiency.

Abstract: The method for power control in HSDPA includes Step A, the UE with the highest priority and having data to be transmitted is selected according to the algorithm, the channel resource is distributed to the UE, and the original power level is set. Step B, the transmission power is deduced when the channel quality meets the condition; Otherwise the CQI is checked, if the value of CQI is under the highest rate level, or the data is the re-transmitting data, the transmission power is increased, or the power is kept the same level. Step C, channel resource and the UE with the highest priority are checked, if there exist, then go to step B, otherwise the method is ended. So the redundant power can be used when several UEs are controlled at the same time, the efficiency and the throughput performance are improved, and the interface is reduced. The device for power controlling is given at the same time.

Abstract: An equalizer comprises a sampler, a filter, and a summer. The sampler samples a signal indicative of an input communication signal to determine digital decision output signals having a communication device data rate. The filter receives digital decision output signals from the sampler and generates equalization signals therefrom. The summer couples to the sampler and the filter and combines together the input communication signal with the equalization signals. Further, a plurality of clocks control timing associated with the sampler. These clocks have frequencies that are less than the predetermined data rate of the digital decision output signals.
