摘要:
Components, usually but not exclusively gaseous components, are removed in a liquid medium from gas streams and chemically converted into an insoluble phase or physically removed. Specifically, hydrogen sulfide may be removed from gas streams by oxidation in aqueous chelated transition metal solution in a modified agitated flotation cell. The same principle may be employed with other procedures in which a gaseous phase is dispersed in a liquid phase to effect an interaction between components present in such phases. A gas-liquid contact apparatus, generally a combined chemical reactor and solid product separation device, comprising such modified agitated flotation cell also is described. In order to effect efficient mass transfer and rapid reaction, gas bubbles containing hydrogen sulfide and oxygen are formed by rotating an impeller at a blade tip velocity of at least about 350 in/sec. to achieve the required shear. To assist in the reaction, a surrounding shroud has a plurality of openings, generally of aspect ratio of approximately 1, of equal diameter and arranged in uniform pattern, such as to provide a gas flow therethrough less than about 0.02 lb/min/opening in the shroud. In general, the gas velocity index of gas through the openings in the shroud is at least about 18 per second per opening, preferably at least about 24 per second per opening. Each of the openings has an area corresponding to an equivalent diameter less than about one inch.
摘要:
A frequency-hopping radio communication system is disclosed comprising a control unit which transmits to and receives from each of a plurality of slave stations using a frequency-hopping mode of operation. During a start-up mode, the control unit communicates a starting message to each slave station using a predefined frequency. The message identifies to each slave station a frequency-hopping sequence to be used to select the frequencies from a group of frequencies for transmission to and reception from the control unit. This message also specifies to each slave station unique starting frequencies in the frequency-hopping sequence at which to begin transmitting and receiving. All slave station transmissions are synchronized to the control unit transmissions, thereby preventing any two stations from concurrently using the same frequencies for either transmitting to or receiving from the control unit.
摘要:
A telephone security apparatus placed at a subscriber station intercepts and screens incoming calls direct to a terminal through a modem. The security apparatus prevents completion of a connection to the terminal equipment unless the incoming call provides a predefined access code and the call is found to have been made from the remote subscriber station to which the predefined access code has been assigned. The security apparatus automatically dials back the subscriber station corresponding to the access code given on the incoming call. A microprocessor-based embodiment is described.
摘要:
A circuit for controlling multiple signalling sources within a key telephone system for the establishment of priorities. The circuit inhibits connection to, or permits disconnection of a secondary signal source from a selected amplifier whenever a primary signal source is connected to the same amplifier. Circuitry is also provided to indicate the disconnect condition.
