A system for error correction coding and decoding information is disclosed. In one embodiment, the first and second encoders are each configured to encode the information, wherein the second encoder has a higher capability than the first encoder. First and second decoders are configured to recover the information, wherein the second decoder recovers the information encoded by the second encoder only if the first decoder cannot recover the information.

Embodiments include a fiber optic laser system having at least one optical waveguide with a laseable core and a pump cladding disposed adjacent the lasing core. A source of electromagnetic pumping energy is disposed adjacent to the optical waveguide and has an emission axis that is directed toward the optical waveguide. An optically reflective surface is disposed towards the optical waveguide and may be configured as an enclosure disposed about at least a portion of the optical waveguide. An index matching material may be disposed within the enclosure and in contact with at least a portion of the optical waveguide.
摘要:
A permeable barrier for decontaminating groundwater having two distinct components for increasing contaminant removal. Preferably, the barrier material is a mixture or distinct layers of bone-char phosphate material and iron oxide pellets. The barrier material can be incorporated as part of a shallow trenching decontamination system, or incorporated in a non-pumping well, or array of non-pumping wells, as part of a deep underground decontamination system. The system can be used for removing, among other things, a radionuclide, such as uranium, from water.

High durometer, polymeric roofing shingles with varying colors and shades of color may be prepared from a composition of matter comprising 100 parts by weight of a ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymer; from 25 to about 400 parts by weight of at least one non-combustible filler per 100 parts of ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymer; from 0 to about 125 parts by weight of at least one combustible filler, per 100 parts of ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymer; from 0 to about 135 parts by weight of a thermoplastic modifying polymer; from 0 to about 10 parts by weight of reinforcing fibers, per 100 parts of ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymer; from about 20 to about 75 parts by weight of a processing oil per 100 parts of ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymer; and from about 1 to about 6 parts by weight of a sulfur cure package having at least two curing accelerators. Fiber reinforced, high durometer, EPDM-based roofing shingles of the present invention are a suitable replacement for traditional slate, wood or asphalt roofing shingles used to cover sloped roofs. A method is further provided for covering sloped roofs comprising applying a plurality of the fiber reinforced, high durometer EPDM-based roofing shingles of the present invention to a sloped roof in a preselected installation pattern.

A walkway pad composition comprises 100 parts by weight of an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer; from about 60 to 700 parts by weight of a filler selected from the group consisting of reinforcing and non-reinforcing materials and mixtures thereof, per 100 parts of the terpolymer; from about 40 to 175 parts by weight of a processing material and mixtures thereof, per 100 parts of the terpolymer; and from about 2 to 10 parts by weight of a cure package, per 100 parts of the EPDM terpolymer, the composition being devoid of any additional polymeric components. The 100 percent EPDM walkway pad composition has better low temperature properties and superior weathering resistance, and heat aging resistance compared to other walkway pad compositions which may include other polymeric components such as natural rubber, synthetic polyisoprene, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polybutadiene, and butyl (IR) rubber. Up to about 25 parts by weight of ethylene-propylene copolymers may be substituted for the EPDM terpolymers.

Vulcanizable elastomeric roof sheet materials for roofing having improved adhesion performance and prepared from a polymeric composition of matter comprising at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polyolefins prepared from monomers containing at least two carbon atoms and mixtures thereof, the polymer having a crystallinity of up to about 2 percent by weight; about 20 to 125 parts by weight of one or more mineral fillers per 100 parts of the polymer, about 50 to 110 parts by weight of one or more black-type fillers per 100 parts of the polymer; and from about 50 to 70 parts by weight of a processing material per 100 parts of the polymer and having improved peel adhesion to itself using commercially available bonding and lap- splice adhesives. A method of covering a roof comprises the steps of applying layers of vulcanizable elastomeric roof sheet material prepared from a vulcanizable polymeric composition of matter, to the roof being covered; overlapping adjacent edges of the layers; and adhesively seaming the overlapped edges of the layers together to form an acceptable seam. The composition of matter is devoid of any flame retardant rubber chemical additives, heavy metals, oxidants and halogen-containing polymers.

An electronic turbocharger control system for an internal combustion engine is provided to control at least one turbocharger by controlling a bypass valve and a wastegate in response to the engine speed, engine load, ambient temperature, and the operating environment's barometric pressure wherein the turbocharger is controlled to operate within predetermined islands of efficiency on a pressure ratio versus mass airflow map thereby allowing the adaptation of one turbocharger assembly for various applications. The method and apparatus provides improved engine efficiency and increases low speed torque.
