Encoding and decoding for code division multiple access communication systems

Methodology, and associated circuitry, for encoding and decoding signals utilize optimizing orthogonal code techniques that effect autonomy of communications and simplified signal processing, thereby improving reliability. Encoder (121) processes an incoming data stream by associating an optimizing orthogonal code with each binary one in the input stream and then by transmitting a series of rate-increased pulses over a path during intervals determined by the code for each of the binary ones. Decoder (131) is generally arranged as a correlation detector in that the decoder only responds to the particular optimizing orthogonal code for which it is configured. Sensors in energy transfer relation to the path are positioned at detection points on the path in correspondence to an assigned code. The outputs of the sensors are processed to produce a rate-decreased detected signal at the rate of the input stream whenever a rate-increased stream corresponding to the decoder configuration is propagating along the path.

Durable highly conductive synthetic fabric construction

Durable highly conductive synthetic fabric construction

Durable highly conductive synthetic fabric construction

A fabric is provided comprising functional filaments, wherein each filament contains electrically conductive polymer material. In this way, the fabric is made conductive and has static dissipation properties comparable to metal-based fabrics. At the same time, the fabric also has desirable physical properties comparable to non-conductive synthetic fabrics.

Hydrogen storage system by catalytic dehydrogenation of amines

The current disclosure is directed to a hydrogen-storage system that employs catalytic dehydrogenation of low-molecular-weight amines in a hydrogen reactor. The hydrogen-storage system comprises aliphatic amines and di-amines as organic carriers that store hydrogen covalently, a hydrogen reactor that releases and separates hydrogen gas from the carrier, and metal or metal-oxide catalysts that promote a dehydrogenation reaction to release hydrogen. In certain implementations, a metal or metal-oxide catalyst may be carried on high-surface-area support materials, such as gamma-alumina and metal-organic-framework materials, to enhance catalytic properties. The hydrogen reactor may be a packed-bed reactor, a monolith reactor, or a flow-through hydrogen-membrane reactor. In one implementation, the flow-through hydrogen-membrane reactor comprises an inlet through which the organic hydrogen carrier flows into the reactor, a hydrogen-separation membrane selectively permeable to hydrogen, a recirulation outlet for removing unspent organic carrier, and a hydrogen outlet for releasing hydrogen and reaction byproducts. The spent organic carrier are collected and hydrogenated to regenerate the original fuel.

Dehydrogenation of cyclic thioethers

There is disclosed a surprising reaction of an alkane thiol with a catalyst and heat to become dehydrogenated and form a thiophene rather than an expected desulfurization reaction to form the corresponding alkane or alkene. Moreover, there are disclosed surprising results regarding the form of a catalyst to allow a reaction of an alkane thiol to form the dehydrogenated thiophene at lower temperatures and at higher conversion percentages to allow for more efficient recovery of thiophenes to allow for recycling and reuse of thiophenes to hydrogenate to form alkane thiols. Further still, there is disclosed a set of reaction conditions and catalyst presentation that allows for recovery of usable diatomic hydrogen gas from a dehydrogenation reaction of substituted or unsubstituted cyclic thioethers to substituted or unsubstituted thiophene.

Compact convertible writing instrument with interchangeable multi-functional components

A convertible writing instrument can be put into either a compact capped configuration, 3 to 4 inches in length, or an extended writing configuration, 5 to 6 inches in length. A relatively elongated cap, which covers most of the relatively shortened pen member in the compact configuration, can be re-attached to the back of the pen, so as to lengthen the instrument in preparation for writing. Multiple interchangeable caps and rear modules can be coupled to the pen member to provide a variety of appearances and functions.
