Abstract: A dual direct contact water heater is described and consists of a heater housing having two sections, each section having a water reservoir. One section provides hot water at a high temperature and provides a source of heat exchange to heat an external source of water for commercial use. A burner is provided in the first section to provide the heat source to a packing through which water percolates.      The source of water for the first section is the outlet of a heat exchanger whereby water from the reservoir is recirculated in a closed circuit in the first section. Hot gases rising from the first section is directed to a second section which also includes a second packing and a reservoir and it also has a closed loop whereby a second source of hot water, at a lower temperature, is utilized in a closed loop and in heat exchange with a second external source to produce domestic hot water or without heat exchanger to produce hot water for various processes. The fumes at the exhaust port of the second section are cooled considerably whereby the total efficiency of the water heater is greatly increased.

Title: System to reduce gain variance and ingress in catv return transmissions
Inventor: STONEBACK DEAN A
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-12-16
Granted: 2001-12-11
Abstract: A gain variance and ingress reduction system reduces the overall ingress of interferers for an entire CATV system return transmission path and allows a reduction in subscriber terminal return transmitter power. The system places a calculated loss at each subscriber tap location (67, 69, 71, 73). By placing these losses at each subscriber location, the headend receives a more consistent return transmission path gain thereby reducing the terminal return transmitter power range requirement. In addition, the losses reduce return transmission path ingress.
