Abstract: The present invention provides tunable waste conversion systems and apparatus which have the advantage of highly robust operation and which provide complete or substantially complete conversion of a wide range of waste streams into useful gas and a stable, nonleachable solid product at a single location with greatly reduced air pollution to meet air quality standards. The systems provide the capability for highly efficient conversion of waste into high quality combustible gas and for high efficiency conversion of the gas into electricity by utilizing a high efficiency gas turbine or an internal combustion engine. The solid product can be suitable for various commercial applications. Alternatively, the solid product stream, which is a safe, stable material, may be disposed of without special considerations as hazardous material. In the preferred embodiment, the arc plasma furnace and joule heated melter are formed as a fully integrated unit with a common melt pool having circuit arrangements for the simultaneous independently controllable operation of both the arc plasma and the joule heated portions of the unit without interference with one another. The preferred configuration of this embodiment of the invention utilizes two arc plasma electrodes with an elongated chamber for the molten pool such that the molten pool is capable of providing conducting paths between electrodes. The apparatus may additionally be employed with reduced use or without further use of the gases generated by the conversion process. The apparatus may be employed as a net energy or net electricity producing unit where use of an auxiliary fuel provides the required level of electricity production. Methods and apparatus for converting metals, non-glass forming waste streams and low-ash producing inorganics into a useful gas are also provided. The methods and apparatus for such conversion include the use of a molten oxide pool having predetermined electrical, thermal and physical characteristics capable of maintaining optimal joule heating and glass forming properties during the conversion process.

Abstract: Système de traitement de données qui transporte des données à travers les étages successifs d'un pipeline. Chaque fois que cela est possible, les étages sont en mode transparent si bien que les données rendues disponibles peuvent voyager à travers le pipeline avec un minimum de retard. L'arrivée des données est signalée par un étage précédent par élévation du potentiel sur une connexion conductrice vers l'étage suivant. En réponse, l'étage commute vers un mode d'attente qui permet à de nouvelles données d'être rendues disponibles à son entrée, même avant que les données aient été transmises. L'étage élève le potentiel sur la connexion conductrice menant à l'étage suivant et rabaisse le potentiel sur la connexion conductrice menant à l'étage précédent, et définit également un registre. Le registre est remis à l'état initial et l'étage redevient transparent aussitôt qu'il reçoit un signal de réception de la part de son successeur, signifiant que les données ont été reçues. Aussi longtemps que le registre est à l'étage de définition, l'étage ne répond pas au fait que le potentiel sur la connexion menant à l'étage précédent devient élevé, à l'exception du fait que l'étage lui-même commence à garder élevé le potentiel sur la connexion.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a plurality of first routes from a start point or a present position to a destination and neighbourhood, dropping point or passing point are searched based upon memorized map information previously. Furthermore, a plurality of second routes from a start point or a present position to a destination and neighbourhood, dropping point or passing point are searched based upon travelling locus data which was passed through before. These first routes and second routes are displayed at the same time. If these both routes are different from each other, the guide is executed based upon the second routes. The second routes searched based upon passing volume and passing date and time of roads or intersections of the travelling locus data. Therefore, a road or an intersection which has larger passing volume and passed more frequently is selected preferentially. Moreover, a road information, an intersection information or passing volume information is stored to the locus data. A route cost is decided based upon these information, the guided route is selected by the route costs.

Abstract: Edge gated injection molding apparatus wherein
each heated nozzle has the combination of a circular
sealing ring extending around it and several gate inserts,
each extending radially outward from the nozzle in
alignment with a gate. The sealing ring bridges an
insulative air space between the heated nozzle and the
surrounding wall of a well in the cooled mold to provide a
sealed portion of the space around the gate inserts. The
outer end of each gate insert is spaced a predetermined
distance "D" from the wall of the well in which the nozzle
is seated to form an opening therebetween. The opening is
large enough to allow pressurized melt to flow outwardly
therethrough into the sealed front portion of the space
between the nozzle and the surrounding wall of the well and
small enough to prevent the partially solidified melt in
the sealed front portion of the space being sucked back
into the melt stream during subsequent injection cycles.

Abstract: An improved four-port dichroic WDM, for use in a multiwavelength, bi-directional optical amplifier, having a dichroic filter for substantially reflecting a first wavelength band input to the WDM to an output of the WDM for the first wavelength band and for substantially transmitting a second wavelength band input to the WDM to an output of the WDM for the second wavelength band, in which some of a first 3dB wavelength in the first wavelength band is transmitted by the filter and some of a second 3 dB wavelength in the second wavelength band is reflected by the filter, includes another dichroic filter having a filter function different than the filter function of the WDM filter providing an insertion loss for the first or the second 3 dB wavelengths sufficient to reflect and transmit, respectively, substantially all of the first and second 3 dB wavelengths. Additional dichroic filters for suppressing 3 dB light are used to prevent Q-switching in an optical gain cavity in a multiwavelength, bi-directional optical amplifier formed by a reflection point in an optical path connected to the amplifier.

Abstract: In order to estimate the number of message transmissions dispatched to a radio
pager wherein messages transmitted are sequentially numbered, a transmitted signal is
acquired which has been found to be directed to the pager. Thereafter, a check is
made to determine if a message number included in the transmitted signal is detected.
If the message number is detected, the message number detected is stored in a
memory. The number of acquired transmitted signals is incremented except where the
message number detected is discontinuous with a previous message number which
was detected immediately before the detection of the instant message. Then the
number of message transmissions is estimated or determined using the number of
acquired transmitted signals, the message number detected stored in the above, and
the above mentioned previous message number.
