Abstract: There is provided a process for preparation of synthesis gas from feedstocks containing methane and/or higher hydrocarbons having from about 2 to about 12 carbon atoms by an initial catalytic treatment of feedstock to provide a methane-containing gaseous mixture substantially free of compounds having 2 or more carbon atoms, and reforming the gaseous mixture at elevated temperatures using nickel-containing catalytic materials that are unusually active under mild conditions of conversion and resistant to deactivation. The process consists fundamentally in converting the higher hydrocarbon compounds to form the methane-containing gaseous mixture in an initial conversion zone containing a catalyst while controlling temperatures within the initial conversion zone to temperatures in a range downward from about 500° C. to about 300° C., and reforming the methane-containing gaseous mixture in a subsequent zone to form synthesis gas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microwave oven, and more particularly, to a structure of a microwave oven that has more enhanced operating efficiency and makes less noise by independently forming a flow of air for a hood function and a flow of air for cooling an electric equipment installation chamber and by mounting an exhaust filter only on one side of an air duct. The present invention utilizes a ventilation motor assembly 132 for forming the flow of air for the hood function and the flow of air for cooling the electric equipment installation chamber. In addition, the flow of air discharged from the ventilation motor assembly 132 is forced to flow toward the air duct 122 which has passages divided into a first duct portion 202 and a second duct portion 204. Moreover, among the duct portions 202, 204, an exhaust filter 122' is installed only on the duct portion through which the flow of air for the hood function passes. Furthermore, the electric equipment installation chamber is formed at the relatively upper side of the cavity 102 so that electric equipments 104' are installed in a position adjacent to the ventilation motor assembly 132. According to the present invention having such structure, the air flows smoothly in the microwave oven, and noise due to the flow of air is minimized. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A splitterless interface between a digital subscriber line (DSL) and the central office equipment that can receive and isolate the low frequency voice data and high frequency digital data from a telephone line. This interface can also mix and transmit low frequency voice data and high frequency digital data onto a telephone line. For POTS band frequencies, a reactive impedance coupled across the input of the POTS line card, and serially coupled to the line side of the DSL coupling transformer, has an open state magnitude. The magnitude of the line side windings of the DSL coupling transforrner is low at POTS band frequencies. POTS band signal power is therefore delivered to the POTS line card. For DSL band frequencies, the reactive impedance across the input of the POTS line card has an closed state magnitude. The POTS line card is therefore essentially short-circuited at DSL band frequencies, and DSL band signal power is delivered to the DSL modem. The frequency band in which the reactive impedance transitions from an open state magnitude to a closed state magnitude corresponds to the frequency band between the POTS frequency band and the DSL frequency band. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is directed to a cream cheese-like product where non-casein protein replaces casein protein and a method for making such product. More specifically, the invention is directed to a process which is effective for making a cream cheese-like product substantially free of casein, wherein the process comprises: mixing (1) proteins other than milk caseins, (2) fat such as butter fat or other food grade fat, and (3) water to form a mixture; subjecting the mixture to a first homogenization to form a protein matrix stabilized emulsion system; heating the protein matrix stabilized emulsion system to a temperature effective to denature the proteins to form a denatured protein matrix stabilized emulsion; adjusting the pH of the denatured protein matrix stabilized emulsion to about 4 to about 6; subjecting the pH-adjusted emulsion to a second homogenization to form the cream cheese-like product; and packaging the cream cheese-like product. Optional ingredients such as stabilizers (e.g., gums), other emulsifiers, salts, coloring, and flavorings can be added to the mixture or to the emulsion (i.e., prior to the first or the second homogenization step). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A recirculating optical delay line 30 has a laser 32 controlled by wavelength control 33 so as to vary the wavelength of radiation over time to provide a first input 34 to an optical modulator 35 . The modulator 35 modulates the intensity of the first input 34 with a pulsed electromagnetic frequency signal 36 to produce a pulsed modulated optical signal 39 . The signal 39 passes through an optical coupler 40 into a delay loop 41 having a delay fibre 44 arranged to delay the signal 39 for a predetermined duration. The wavelength control 33 is arranged to vary the first input 35 so as to ensure that overlapping pulses of the signal 39 in the delay loop 41 are at different wavelengths, thereby inhibiting optical mixing effects between the overlapping pulses.

Abstract: An economical and compact dual-chamber loudspeaker includes a small driver received within a partition extending between, and in acoustical and pneumatic communication with, both a front and a back chamber, each of which has a relatively small volume. An elongated vent is in acoustical and pneumatic communication between the front and back chamber at a substantially planar opening in the partition. The drone cone is in acoustical and pneumatic communication between the front chamber and the outside environment at a substantially planar opening in the housing. The two openings are spaced apart and generally parallel to each other. In a preferred embodiment, the volume of the chambers is minimized by securing an elongated concentric vent around the vent extending between the front and back chambers. In an alternative preferred embodiment, there are at least two elongated vents in acoustical and pneumatic communication with the front and back chambers, and each vent is spaced equal distance from the driver and from each other such that they distribute the pneumatic loads between the front and back chambers evenly, thereby preventing pneumatic forces emanating from the vents from applying asymmetric force to the drone cone.
