Patent FI-101420-B2 (FI)
Title: System for supplying oxygen-containing gas to a furnace
Inventor: UPPSTU ERIK
IPC: F23G7/04
Filed: 1993-09-21
Granted: 2004-09-13
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI93/00488 Sec. 371 Date May 23, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date May 23, 1995 PCT Filed Nov. 18, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/12829 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 9, 1995This invention is directed to an arrangement and a device for distribution of oxygen-containing gas (air) in a furnace, into which fuel is supplied as solid or fluid particles (1). The fuel consists of e.g. spent liquor from the pulp industry. Said liquor burns partly as char (2) on the floor (3), and partly as suspended particles and as volatiles. Horizontal rows of gas jets (4) activate the char burning on the floor. Vertically extended configuration of gas jets (5) higher up induces strong horizontal gas circulation but reduces vertical flow extremes. The improved horizontal mixing increases burning stability, capacity and energy efficiency, but reduces emission of SOx, NOx and TRS. Lowered vertical recirculation permits better concentration of burning in the lower furnace and less carry-over of fuel particles.

Patent JP-3507682-B2 (JP)
IPC: H01L23/36
Filed: 1998-01-09
Granted: 2004-03-15
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrict an increase in temperature due to a transient loss of heat generation when starting conductivity, by a method wherein a conductor in which at least one terminal out of a plurality of external draw-out terminals is electrically connected to a power semiconductor device has heat capacity enough to absorb transiently generated heat in the power semiconductor device. SOLUTION: A power semiconductor device 4 is electrically connected to a power semiconductor device 5 via a first metallized wide conductor 12 having a width and a thickness, and further the power semiconductor devices 4, 5 are electrically connected to an emitter terminal 8 drawn out outside an insulative package via the first metallized wide conductor 12. The first metallized wide conductor 12 has a volume having heat capacity enough to absorb transiently generated heat in the power semiconductor devices 4, 5, and is a material of high heat conductivity. Thus, a loss of the transiently generated heat of the power semiconductor devices 4, 5 is absorbed by this first metallized wide conductor 12, and an increase in the highest temperature can be reduced.  As a result, it is possible to also cope with an increase in the loss of generated heat associated with large capacity and high speed capability of the device.

Patent AU-725426-B2 (AU)
Title: Method of lithographic imaging with reduced debris-generated performance degradation and related constructions
Inventor: LEWIS THOMAS E
IPC: G03F7/09
Filed: 1999-03-02
Granted: 2000-10-12
Abstract: The performance-limiting effects of thermal breakdown on ablation-type lithographic printing plates are overcome by rendering the ink-accepting surface largely impervious to the effects of debris originating with the surface layer of the printing member, or by discouraging the formation of harmful debris altogether. In one approach, the ink-accepting surface is a highly crosslinked polymer. The resulting cured matrix exhibits a sufficient degree of three-dimensional bonding to resist melting, softening, or chemical degradation as a result of the imaging process. Alternatively, an intervening layer, disposed between the imaging layer and the surface layer, prevents the surface layer from undergoing significant thermal degradation in response to imaging radiation or ablation of the underlying imaging layer, and is also formulated to produce little debris or debris having an affinity for ink and/or fountain solution similar to the affinity of the substrate --e.g., which does not reduce the oleophilicity of the underlying ink-accepting surface. Following imaging, the remnants of the insulating layer are removed along with the surface layer where the plate received imaging radiation. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1989-05-04
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for manufacturing, from a coextrusion, food pieces wherein an inner food is fully or partially enrobed by an outer food. In one embodiment the inner food is a dough that is enrobed by an outer dough by severing the outher dough with a blunt severing edge on a severing element which, as it enters the coextrusion, simultaneously draws the outer dough over the inner dough on both sides of the element to form the food piece. A coextrusion of an inner dough inside and outer dough is formed below a die with the extrusion of the inner dough periodically interrupted to form a region in the coextrusion where there is a greater amount of outer dough. A pair of severing elements are operatively located at a predetermined distance below the die where convergence of the severing elements cuts the extrusion in a region having a greater amount of outer dough while simultaneously drawing the outer dough over the inner dough above and below the severing elements. Several embodiments are described.

Abstract: A method of packaging a beverage and a package structure has a cylindrical tube 1 over an end 3 of which is located a partition wall 2 having a restricted orifice 6. A closure wall 7 is located over the partition wall 2 and both walls are sealed, for example by crimping, to the rim of the tube 1. A primary chamber 4 is formed within the tube and a secondary chamber 8 is formed between the partition wall 2 and closure wall 7 which chambers communicate through the orifice 6. Chamber 4 is charged with beverage 11 containing gas in solution and sealed with an end wall 12 crimped to the rim 9 of the tube 1. Prior to sealing the chamber 9 is dosed with liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide so that headspace 13 in that chamber is pressurised. The package adjusts to a state of equilibrium in which beverage flows into the secondary chamber 8 to form a headspace 14 therein. Upon opening of the package with a pull tag 15 a pressure differential between the headspace 14 and 13 causes beverage and/or gas in the chamber 8 to be ejected through the orifice 6 into the beverage 11 and thereby gas in solution in the beverage to be liberated and form, or assist in the formation of, a head of froth on the beverage.
