Patent CA-2230481-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATT HANS JUERGEN
IPC: H03K5/13
Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: A method of forming an aggregation of N > 1 band-limited time signals, each with a bandwidth of ~ B, which are present as analog and/or digital sampling values, with a respective sampling frequency of fA > 2B, is characterized in that the sampling values of all N time signals are offset in time and superimposed on each other, and are jointly input to a low-pass filter (12) with a bandwidth of B' > B, and that a composite signal is tapped off from the output of the low-pass filter (12).  This allows the aggregation to be performed in a considerably shorter calculation time, a number of slow and expensive aggregation elements can possibly be saved, and the damping of the signals during processing can be minimized, as well as the corresponding loss of information.

Title: Vortex flow burner with film combustion
Inventor: RAO KUPPU V
IPC: F23C3/00
Filed: 1999-02-10
Abstract: A new combustion system for liquid fuels called the Vortex Flow Burner with Film Combustion has been devised in which the fuel is spread as a film over a hot surface and exposed to a swirling turbulent air stream. The vapour from the evaporating liquid burns in a reacting boundary layer. Complete and stable combustion of the fuel is achieved because hot combustion products are continuously recirculated into the combustion zone by the swirling air stream. There is no need to use fine-holed nozzles or high pressure since the fuel need not be atomized as in conventional combustion systems. This enables the new combustion system to handle different types of fuel including those contaminated with water, grit or other foreign matter. The flame temperature can be increased by enriching the air stream with oxygen. It is thus possible to incinerate liquids containing toxic material, such as PCBs.
