Patent EP-1262451-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GARCIA JAVIER ANGEL PEREZ
IPC: F23C9/00
Filed: 2002-05-30
Abstract: A process is provided for the production of sulfur dioxide by combustion of sulfur and
pure oxygen in a closed system that produces a high yield in the recovery of SO 2  and
that reduces environmental contamination to levels below the standard requirements.
The pure oxygen is diluted before combustion in recirculated combustion gas that has
been previously cooled, in order to maintain combustion at less than 1200°C. The
combustion gas is cooled, purified and liquefied, with the non-liquefied gas being
recirculated in a closed system. A combustion gas having a high SO 2  content, for
example 84% SO 2  (v/v), can thus be obtained, which is easily liquefied to a high SO 2 
recovery efficiency, for example 95% at -10°C. Preferably, sulfur (1) is smelted in heat
interchanger (3) and burned with oxygen (2) in combustion chamber of boiler (4). The
combustion gas driven by suction from blower (7) is cooled by heat interchanger (5)
and purifier/cooler (6). At fork point (8) a portion of the gas is recirculated to mixing
point (9), where the pure oxygen (2) is incorporated. The remaining portion of the gas
is liquified in cooling plant (10) to form liquid sulfur dioxide (11), leaving a non-condensable
gaseous mix that is returned to the circuit via mixing point (12).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the operation
of a microwave oven (1), including a magnetron (3A)
generating microwaves and a sensor (6) sensing the state
of air in the cooking cavity of the oven. The cooking
period is determined by searching one of two data tables
in accordance with a determination result after
determining whether food to be cooked is included in
ascending slope-type foods or descending slope-type foods.
The control method and apparatus reduces a deviation in
the cooking periods by distinguishing the ascending slope-type
foods from the descending slope-type foods. The
control method and apparatus allows the microwave oven to
appropriately cook food for a period of time which
substantially matches a practically required cooking
period, thus providing a good cooking result.

Abstract: A motion control system and method that includes a central controller configured to generate first and second demand control signals to be used to define actuation motion of respective first and second actuators. The central controller is in communication with first and second nodes by way of a data network, each node including at least a respective actuator configured to implement at an actuator time a motion or force-related effort based upon the respective demand control signal. Each node also includes a memory configured to store at least one respective propagation delay parameter related to a signal propagation delay between the central controller and the node. A timing mechanism establishes timing at each node based on the respective propagation delay parameter so that the actuator time at the nodes occurs simultaneously. Strictly cyclic and/or full-duplex high-speed communication can be supported. The network can be wired in a ring or as a tree and with twisted pair cabling or fiber. The central controller issues demand signals to the nodes that are actuator, servo motor drive, and/or I/O devices. The central controller can also provide a timing message that is used by the nodes, in conjunction with local delay correction circuitry, so that the simultaneous acquisition of data and the simultaneous implementation of controlled action occur.
