Title: Method and apparatus for gasification of organic waste in batches
Inventor: TSANTRIZOS PANAYOTIS
IPC: C10J3/04
Filed: 2007-10-12
Abstract: A gasification reactor for processing organic waste in batches comprises a primary gasification reactor (62) that includes a primary gasification chamber (18) and a surrounding combustion chamber (19), a secondary gasification chamber (21), a synthesis gas decontamination unit (42) and a combustible gas selector (41).

The gasification chamber (18) has an intake (20) for introducing pre-heated process air (1) therein. The combustion chamber operates either with a conventional fuel (9) or with the produced synthesis gas (6). The secondary gasification chamber (21) thermally treats the synthesis gas (2) to eliminate tars. The decontamination unit (42) scrubs the synthesis gas of contaminants including particulates and acid gases. The clean synthesis gas (6) is directed to the combustible gas selector (41) which selectively feeds either the combustible fluid (9) or the synthesis gas (6) to the burner (40).

Abstract: The present invention is related to a communication system, a transmitting device, a receiving device, a communication method, a program and a communication cable that can be configured to carry out high speed bidirectional communication while maintaining compatibility. In the case where an HDMI(R) source (71) and an HDMI(R) sync (72) carry out bidirectional IP communication through a CEC line (84) and a signal line (141), a changeover control unit (121) controls a switch (133) so that a partial signal that composes a differential signal from a converting unit (131) is selected through the switch (133) at data transmitting time and so that a partial signal that composes a differential signal from a receiver (82) is selected at data transmitting time. In the case where bidirectional IP communication is carried out only through the CEC line (84), the changeover control unit (121) controls the switch (133) so that a CEC signal from the HDMI(R) source (71) or the receiver (82) is selected through the switch (133). The present invention can be applied to an HDMI(R), for instance.
