    摘要: A method for wirelessly transmitting data from an utility meter, such as an electric meter, is disclosed. A microprocessor housed inside an energy meter obtains readings of various power indicia, stores the readings, processes the buffer to determine an efficient means of formatting the data for transmission using a radio frequency communications link. The method examines the plurality of readings and determines if values can be communicated by transmitting an initial reading and followed by the difference of the next reading from the previous reading. A special indication is transmitted to turn ‘on’ compression and allow the receiver to propertly interpret received data. Other indicators are transmitted to turn ‘off’ compression, turn on compression for a pre-defined limited duration, or vary the range of the difference between readings.

    摘要: Particulate lignocellulosic materials containing water are subjected to oxidation with nitric acid, oxygen or with a mixture of oxygen and nitric acid under conditions adapted to form carboxylic groups, along with some carbonyl groups. As a result of this treatment the oxidized material becomes activated so as to undergo self-bonding when it is later molded under elevated conditions of temperature and pressure. This oxidation reaction proceeds at elevated temperatures until there has been a net consumption by the lignocellulose of about 1.25 to 25 weight percent of oxygen as supplied either as such and/or by way of nitric acid. These percentages are calculated on a dry lignocellulosic material basis. The oxidized product can then be pressed into the desired shape under elevated pressures and temperatures effective to induce esterification or other molecular cross-linking reactions between functional groups present in the lignocellulosic molecule or between such groups and those of other chemicals which are added, thus providing a molded structure. Board-shaped as well as other molded products of high strength and excellent resistance to moisture absorption can thus be obtained from a variety of lignocellulosic raw materials.
