Patent CA-2667921-C (CA)
Inventor: OHLSEN IB
IPC: F23D17/00
Filed: 2007-10-22
Granted: 2015-04-21
Abstract: A description is given of a burner for introducing solid, liquid or gaseous fuel to a burning zone of a kiln, such as a rotary kiln for manufacturing cement clinker or the like, said burner comprising a number of substantially concentric ducts (1, 2, 3), being parallel to the main axis B3 of the burner, for conveying fuel and primary air to nozzle openings, as well as a number of additional ducts (4, 6, 7, 8) for conveying solid, fluid or gaseous fuel to separate nozzle openings, said additional ducts being located in the central part (10) of the burner. The burner is characterized in that it comprises means (4a, 5) for changing the flow direction of the fuel which is introduced via at least one of the additional ducts in the central part (10) of the burner, relative to the main axis B3 of the burner, at least in an ascending direction. This will allow the individual fuel particles to travel in a curved, approximately ballistic path, thereby extending the time they can be maintained in the flame. Another advantage of this configuration of the burner is that the large particles will attain the highest, and hence the longest, path, since the path of the smaller particles will to a greater extent than is the case for the large ones be deflected by the primary air which is injected via the outer annular primary air nozzle which is parallel to the main axis of the burner. Hence it will be possible to achieve a more uniform combustion of all particles, regardless of their size. It will be possible to change the path of the particles by altering the velocity or direction of injection.

The array of electrodes includes multiple sense electrodes and a current electrode. The array of electrodes on the inflatable cuff is applied using a positive displacement dispensing system, such as a MicroPen®. A ground electrode is disposed on the tube approximately midway between the inflatable cuff and the midpoint of the endotracheal tube. The endotracheal tube is partially inserted into a mammalian subject's airway such that when the inflatable cuff is inflated, thereby fixing the tube in position, the array of electrodes is brought into close contact with the tracheal mucosa in relative proximity to the aorta. The endotracheal tube is useful in the measurement of cardiac parameters such as cardiac output.

Title: Process for hydrogenating olefins
Inventor: DAVIS RUTH A
IPC: C10G45/00
Filed: 2009-03-26
Granted: 2016-07-12
Abstract: A process for hydrogenating olefins is disclosed. The olefins are present in a feed gas which includes H2 and one or more sulfur compounds. The sulfur compounds may include H2S and organic sulfur compounds. The feed gas is passed through a reactor at an inlet temperature from 100°C to 250°C. The reactor contains a catalyst which is active at the inlet temperature. The reactor may be adiabatic. Saturated hydrocarbons are formed from the olefins.  A temperature gradient may be formed in the reactor due to the exothermic nature of the hydrogenation reaction, causing the temperature to increase downstream in the reactor. At temperatures higher than the inlet temperature, H2S may be formed from organic sulfur compounds. A gas mixture including saturated hydrocarbons, H2S and H2 exits the reactor and may be brought into contact with a chemical adsorbent which removes the H2S. The gas stream may then be passed to a steam methane reformer.

Abstract: On décrit de façon générale des techniques de codage et de décodage de séquences dimages vidéo à laide de vues de référence fragmentaires. L'invention ci-décrite concerne des techniques de codage et de décodage vidéo en vue dune compression temporelle modifiée basée sur des références fragmentaires plutôt que sur des vues de référence complètes. Dans une séquence typique dimages vidéo, seule une partie (cest-à-dire un pavé) de chaque image comprend des objets mouvants. De plus, dans chaque image, les objets mouvants tendent à être confinés dans des zones spécifiques qui sont communes à lensemble des images de la séquence dimages vidéo. Selon la présente invention, ces zones communes de mouvement sont identifiées. Des vues sont ensuite extraites des zones identifiées des images vidéo. Comme ces vues peuvent ne représenter que des parties dimages, la présente invention appelle ces vues « fragments ». Ces fragments sont alors utilisés comme vues de référence, au lieu de limage entière, pour générer des images prédites pendant un processus de compensation de mouvement.
