Patent number: 6134267Abstract: A DAB stream starts with a so-called null symbol for the receiver synchronization carrying a transmitter identification information, i.e. TII, signal. Each transmitter in the single frequency network is assigned a main id and a sub id for unique identification. This identification is mapped to a certain pattern with 16/8/4/2 set carrier pairs in the spectrum of the null symbol according to the DAB modes I-IV. Based on mode II which has 384 valid carriers a so called comb block is defined. For modes I and IV this block is repeated 4 and 2 times, respectively. For mode III only a half block is available. This pattern is transmitted every 2nd DAB frame in the null symbol.To detect the set carriers the steps of differential demodulation of TII pairs included in the spectrum (S.sub.1 (.omega.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1998Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: Sony International (Europe) GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Schafer, Jurgen Grassle, Markus Zumkeller

Patent number: 6017473Abstract: A porous, flow-through molded body, designed specifically for use in the removal of diesel soot particles from the exhaust gas of diesel engines. It includes a reciprocally closed honeycombed body made of silicon carbide and possessing the following features.wall thickness: 1.25.+-.0.5 mm;porosity: 55 to 60%;average pore diameter: 25 to 70 .mu.m;specific permeability: 20 to 100 nPm.In the production method, a starting powder of silicon or a mixture of silicon with portions of silicon carbide and/or carbon is combined with an organic binding agent that can be coked and molded into a green body. This is then subjected to a coking fire in an inert-gas atmosphere; the molded body obtained in this manner is then heated in the presence of nitrogen or a nitrogenous inert gas to a temperature where free silicon is converted with the carbon, in a reaction firing, to silicon carbide. Additionally, a recrystallization firing at greater than 2000.degree. C. is implemented.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1998Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignees: Verein zur Forederung des Instituts fur Prozess-und Anwendungstechnik Keramik an der RWTH Aachen e.V., Thomas Josef Heimbach GmbH & Co.Inventors: Horst R.
