20110154724 | FATTY ESTER COMPOSITIONS WITH IMPROVED OXIDATIVE STABILITY - Compositions containing unsaturated fatty esters may be stabilized against atmospheric oxidation by the addition of an antioxidant package containing at least one nitroxide free-radical scavenger and at least one alkylalkanolamine. Compositions treated in this manner show good resistance to atmospheric oxidation and resultant viscosity increase. An advantage of the nitroxide free-radical scavenger is that it stops the oxidation of the unsaturated fatty esters already during the initiation stage. Moreover, it is much less volatile than for example the known alkylhydroxylamine oxygen scavengers. By the use of a nitroxide free-radical scavenger, the composition can thus be stabilized for a longer period of time. The stability period is moreover less affected by the supply of oxygen to the composition. The solubility problem of the nitroxide in the fatty ester component can be solved by dissolving the nitroxide first in the alkylalkanolamine. | 06-30-2011 |
20110203167 | USE OF MIXTURES OF ALKYLALKANOLAMINES AND ALKYLHYDROXYLAMINES AS STABILIZERS FOR ALKYL ESTER FUELS - A stabilized alkyl ester fuel is disclosed.

20110044399 | List-viterbi hard iterative decoder for multilevel codes - Two decoding algorithms are introduced for the decoding of multi-level coded modulation and other types of coded modulation involving component codes and interleaving operations. An improved hard iterative decoding (IHID) algorithm is presented that improves upon a hard iteration decoding technique by adding a stopping criterion.
