    摘要: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for dewatering mixture of ethanol and water. The method for dewatering mixture of ethanol and water in a pervaporation process arranged to dewater ethanol, to the retentate, from water as enriched to the permeate. In the method at least one of the streams of the permeate that is about to be cooled, before the entry of the stream into a vaporizer (2) arranged to vaporize at least partly once processed ethanol-water mixture by the pervaporation process, or another permeate stream upstream of pervaporation unit, is taken (HEXI) in the cooling phase of said at least one of the streams of the permeate, so that said heat taken is at least partly directed as secondary energy into the use for heating of the mixture of the ethanol and the water that is entering into the pervaporation unit, which is arranged to dewater the mixture of the ethanol and water by pervaporation. The invention relates also to a heat exchanger, use of the heat exchanger in general, but specifically in a pervaporation process for de-watering of ethanol-water mixture. The invention also relates to pervaporation unit comprising such a heat exchanger, and also to utility unit for ethanol rectification using the heat exchanger.

    摘要: Teleconferencing and, in particular, distributed teleconferencing may use methods and systems for location grouping to reduce feedback and other audio anomalies. Terminals and users connected to the same teleconference and in the same location might not need to receive audio signals from the other terminals and users in the same location. As such, by detecting and analyzing the location of each participating terminal, the terminals (and thus, the users thereof) may be organized into location groups to provide proper audio mixing. In one example, first and second terminals in the same location might not receive each other's audio in a downstream teleconference signal. The location and grouping of terminals may be processed using context fingerprint information derived from sensor readings of each terminal. Sensors may include GPS sensors, cameras, BLUETOOTH sensors and the like. Context fingerprint information may further be synchronized to enhance location determination and grouping.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for enhancing a coded audio signalcomprising indices which represent audio signal parameters which comprise at least a first parameter representing a first characteristic of speech are disclosed. A current first parameter value is determined from an index corresponding to at least the first parameter. The current first parameter value is adjusted in order to achieve an enhanced first characteristic, thereby obtaining an enhanced first parameter value. A new index value is determined from a table relating index values to at least first parameter values, such that a new first parameter value corresponding to the new index value substantially matches the enhanced first parameter value.
