The invention relates to a filter device for filtering an input signal, the input signal comprising a clock signal having a clock frequency. The filter device comprises a filter (101) for filtering the input signal with a first set of filter coefficients to obtain a first filtered signal, and for filtering the input signal with a second set of coefficients to obtain a second filtered signal, a frequency domain correlator (103) for correlating a first subset of frequency domain components of the first filtered signal to obtain a first correlation value, and for correlating a second subset of frequency domain components of the second filtered signal to obtain a second correlation value, wherein the first subset of correlated frequency domain components and the second subset of correlated frequency domain components are respectively located within a predetermined range of the correlated signals comprising the clock frequency, and a processor (105) for selecting either the first set of filter coefficients or the second set of filter coefficients upon the basis of the first correlation value and the second correlation value for filtering the input signal.

The invention provides a heat transfer composition comprising trans-1, 3,3,3- tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)), difluoromethane (R-32) and 1,1-difluoroethane (R- 152a).

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for loading and/or unloading a substance into or from a sorption media. A substance is presented at an edge of the sorption media, which comprises parallel layers of a sorption material. To load (i.e., via absorption and/or adsorption) the substance into the sorption media, heat is transferred away from the sorption media, a loading voltage is applied to the sorption media, and/or a pressure is increased relative to the sorption media. To unload the substance from the sorption media, heat is transferred into the sorption media, a voltage of an opposite polarity from the loading voltage is applied to the sorption media, and/or a pressure is decreased relative to the sorption media. In some embodiments, the sorption media includes surface structures that may load molecules of the substance.

A phenolic resin binder composition comprises alkaline phenolic resin, first alkaline and hardening accelerator, which is characterized by (the fact) that the alkaline phenolic resin is produced by bisphenol A instead of parts of phenol, and the molar ratio of bisphenol A to phenol is in the scope of 1:10~25. The binder composition can be used as cold core-box materials in casting industry. The present binder composition can improve moisture resistance and high-temperature strength of molds and cores in storage after gases passing them.

A home base station-based access mode processing method is provided in the present invention. The method includes the following steps: a stream control transmission protocol connection is established between a home base station and a core network; the home base station notifies the access mode information of the home base station to the core network; wherein, the access mode information indicates the access mode of the home base station. The invention effectively improves network performance and user experience.

The invention relates to methods and devices for controlling physico-chemical processes in a substance and at the phase boundary. Said invention can be used in various branches of industry and agriculture for providing optimum control of processes occurring in a substance and at the phase boundary, with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of the occurrence of these processes. The problem of the present invention consists in developing such a method and device for controlling physico-chemical processes in a substance and at the phase boundary which ensure an increase in the productivity of conventional equipment and do not cause an increase in the amount of energy consumed during production. In order to solve the set problem, the invention proposes that, in the method for controlling physico-chemical processes in a substance and at the phase boundary, said method comprising determining the parameters of the medium and exposing the medium in which the process to be controlled is taking place to an electrical signal, use is made of a nonlinearly distorted signal with two uniformity ranges as the electrical signal in order to achieve the optimum indicators for the effectiveness of the process.

The invention relates to a pipe manipulator for loading and unloading pipes, for use in a device for bending pipes of large diameters, wherein in said device for bending pipes, a pipe is guided in the axial direction through an inductively operating heating device that annularly encloses said pipe, a receiving sleeve that can be moved axially in the advancing direction of the pipe is provided at the end of the pipe, said receiving sleeve being rigidly connected to the device for bending pipes, the receiving sleeve reaches into the pipe from the inside and clamps the pipe in place from inside, the receiving sleeve applies the axial force by means of which the pipe is pushed through the inductively operating heating device, the receiving sleeve guides the pipe axially through the inductively operating heating device in a defined manner until the rear end is fixed in the front gripping element on the bending arm.

An interspinous process spacer diagnostic balloon catheter and method. The balloon catheter has a main expandable member, a distal expandable member and a proximal expandable member that all can be expanded from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration and then collapsed again to a collapsed configuration. The device can be used to determine whether a particular patient is a candidate for implantation of an interspinous process spacer to treat the symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis and the size of such a spacer if indicated.

The present invention relates to a vehicle transfer apparatus for a parking facility, comprising: a base frame (1); a transporting apparatus (10) which transports the base frame (1); a front frame (2) installed above the front portion of the base frame (1); front lift apparatuses (30) installed at either side of the front frame (2) in order to lift the front driving wheels of a vehicle; a rear frame (3) installed above the rear portion of the base frame (1); a moving apparatus (20) which moves the rear frame (3) in the forward and backward directions on the base frame (1); and rear lifting apparatuses (40) installed at either side of the rear frame (3) to lift the rear driving wheels of the vehicle, thereby improving the functionality and usability of the vehicle transfer apparatus for a parking facility.

A method for biologically recultivating industrial wastelands is claimed which comprises planting perennial grasses and applying mineral fertilizers. The method differs from known methods in that a layer of up to 1 cm of vermiculite substrate having granules of up to 2-4 mm and a pH of from 6.5 to 7.2 is scattered on the soil, families of grasses are sown across the substrate surface and are watered with an aqueous solution of mineral fertilizers, and the substrate surface is covered with polymer film which is removed after 5-7 days. If the surface layer of the wastelands is highly compacted, the soil can be ploughed prior to application of the substrate layer. The vermiculite substrate can be produced by a method of high-temperature annealing at a temperature of up to 850°C with the annealing speed and temperature being controlled.
