Abstract: A central control system for controlling multiple air
conditioners and a method for operating the same. A plurality
of indoor devices and an outdoor device configure the multiple
air conditioners. A central controller connected through a
dedicated line based on an air conditioner communication
protocol controls the multiple air conditioners in a central
control manner. The central controller is serially connected
to a protocol converter for carrying out an Ethernet
communication protocol conversion and an air conditioner
communication protocol conversion such that the central
controller remotely controls the multiple air conditioners
through an external Internet network based on the Ethernet
communication protocol. Thus, data of different communication
protocols are smoothly transmitted and received, and a stable
control operation can be carried out. As the multiple air
conditioners can be remotely controlled in a central control
manner, time and cost for controlling and managing the
multiple air conditioners can be saved.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for making manganese sulfide
without the need for recycling a significant amount of manganese sulfide back to
the reaction chamber. The methods are performed by admixing substantially pure
manganese, substantially pure sulfur, and iron pyrite. The manganese and sulfur
are then reacted to form manganese sulfide. Iron pyrite regulates the reaction and
enables the use of conventional equipment in the methods of the present
invention. After the reaction ends, the manganese sulfide product is separated
from the unreacted manganese, sulfur, and iron.

Abstract: A reflector lamp is described which consist essentially of a light source, in particular in the form of a high-pressure gas discharge lamp (HID [high intensity discharge] lamp or UHP [ultra high performance] lamp), as well as a main or secondary reflector ( 12 ), and a primary reflector ( 25 ) by means of which light from the light source ( 22 ) can be reflected through the light source ( 22 ) onto the main reflector ( 12 ). The primary reflector ( 25 ) is arranged such that those regions of the main reflector ( 12 ) are obscured which are optically inactivated regions, for example because of a lead-through and/or a fastening device for the lamp, which have no reflection properties, or which have reflection properties that adversely affect the radiation characteristic of the reflector lamp. The reflector lamp is particularly suitable for projection applications because of its high luminous efficacy. Furthermore, a substantially automated and accordingly cost-effective assembly of the lamp is possible.

Abstract: A method of validating connection data for a node of a telephone network involves processing a report file for terminal pairs at a network node. The records in the report file are divided into three categories in dependence on the nature of the information in each record. A network status database is then updated with the report data category by category. Circuit IDs in the network status database that are deleted by updating in respect of records belonging to other then the last processed category are recorded against a record in the network status database corresponding to a record in the last processed category. Circuit IDs in the network status database that are deleted by updating in respect of last-processed category records are logged to provide a list of circuit IDs for which further investigation is required.
