  • BIOLEACHING METHOD AND FACILITY
    Publication number: 20170175223
    Abstract: A method for the lagoon-based bioleaching of a metallic ore, wherein the temperature of the suspension containing the metallic ore to be bioleached, a bioleaching consortium and a nutritive substrate of the microorganisms of the consortium is controlled by regulating the flows and the composition of a gas containing oxygen and optionally also CO2 injected into the suspension, the temperature of the suspension being controlled such that it can be maintained within a pre-determined range suitable for bioleaching.

  • Electronic radio system for power amplification with protection in terms of standing wave rate and associated method of protection
    Patent number: 9112451
    Abstract: An electronic radio system for power amplification of a radiofrequency signal having an electronic circuit having at least one in-service amplifier component, a detector measuring at least one electrical parameter of the in-service amplifier component, having at least the intensity of the electric current supplying the in-service amplifier component, a power attenuator adjusting the output power of the electronic circuit, and a programmable circuit receiving and transmitting commands to control the modules of the radio electronic system. The programmable circuit furthermore includes means for obtaining at least one measurement value relating to the intensity of the electric current supplying said in-service amplifier component of said detector and means for controlling said power attenuator in the case where at least one measurement value obtained exceeds a predetermined threshold value corresponding thereto. The invention also relates to an associated electronic circuit protection method.
