Abstract: Un appareil (10) de transport et de manipulation d'un livret destiné au transport d'un livret entre un client utilisant un guichet automatique et une imprimante (12) située à l'intérieure de la machine bancaire comprend une première série de courroies (32) mobiles sur des premières poulies (22). Le mécanisme de transport présente également une seconde série de courroies (34) mobiles sur des secondes poulies (28). La seconde série de courroies est disposée transversalement entre la première série de courroies de manière qu'un livret transporté entre celles-ci est saisi fermement mais avec une limitation de glissement. Le livret est guidé dans le mécanisme de transport par un premier guide de bord fixe (44). Un second guide de bord (46) est monté sur un ressort (48) de manière à aligner ledit livret à mesure qu'il passe dans le mécanisme de transport. Une porte (72) est mobile entre des positions de blocage ou d'admission d'un livret dans ledit mécanisme de transport. Le mouvement de la porte ainsi que des séries de courroies est géré par un processeur. Des capteurs (110, 114, 118 et 124) sont reliés fonctionnellement au processeur et commandés par celui-ci, ils empêchent l'admission et le passage de livrets de dimensions inappropriées par le mécanisme de transport.

Abstract: Object:  To provide a heavy oil emulsified fuel combustion furnace which prevents lowering of combustion efficiency due to water content in the fuel as well as prevents elevation of sulfuric acid dew point due to water content in the flue gas of combustion furnace.  Solving means:  Heavy oil emulsified fuel 102 is heated by a heater 110 using a heat pipe etc. and then is separated by a water vaporizer 120 to heavy oil content 122 and vapor 121 consisting of steam and a light oil combustible gas.          The heavy oil content 122 is supplied to a burner port of the combustion furnace, such as a boiler etc.  The vapor 121 is condensed by a condenser 140 to become liquid 141 in which water content and a light oil content are mixed.          The liquid 141 is separated by an oily water separator 150 to oil content 151 and water content 152.  The oil content 151 is used as a fuel for an igniting torch of the combus-tion furnace 10 and the water content 152 is used partially as a cooling water 41 of an SOx removal apparatus 40 and partially as an atomizing steam 9 or a soot blowing steam 8 in the boiler, etc.

Granted: 2000-06-27
Abstract: A fixed quality source coder (20) receives and performs VQ on an input signal ID. The fixed quality source coder (20) includes an encoder (28) and may also include a decoder (34). The encoder may include a lossy codec (52) that receives and encodes the signal ID to provide encoded information (38) to a multiplexer (30) regarding the signal ID. The lossy codec (52) also decodes the encoded signal to produce a decoded signal IVQ-I (62). A summer (66) receives ID and IVQ-I and determines an error signal ER (70) where ER equals ID IVQ-I. A threshold circuit (74) receives the signal ER and passes a truncated error signal ET'. The threshold level T may be set to ensure that the maximum error allowed in the encoder (28) is equal to a particular desired maximum error.

Abstract: In a fluid heating apparatus having a fluid tank, a combustion chamber communicating with the fluid tank for heat exchange, and a combustible fluid delivery system coupled to the combustion chamber, a plurality of valves are individually configured in either an off-state or an on-state for delivering combustible fluid to the combustion chamber. Depending on the configuration of the multiple valves, the rate at which combustible fluid is supplied to the combustion chamber may be varied in response to a heat demand signal. Individual valve signals are generated for each of the multiple valves in response to the heat demand signal to place the multiple valves in a configuration to supply combustible fluid at predetermined rates. The demand signal is calculated in response to reading temperature at an inlet temperature probe and an outlet temperature probe, wherein the outlet temperature probe is located nearer a fluid outlet from the fluid tank than is the inlet temperature probe. The heat demand signal may also be a function of the excess of a set point temperature over a temperature measured by the outlet temperature probe. An airblower may also be coupled to the combustion chamber and operated in a plurality of modes for supplying air at a plurality of rates in response to the heat demand signal. The rates of air supply provided by the air blower are selected to supply air at a stoichiometric rates in relation to the fuel supply rates provided by various configurations of the valves in the combustible fluid delivery system.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a radio communications system is disclosed that can determine the location of an RFID Tag. The radio communication system includes at least one Interrogator for generating and transmitting a modulated radio signal to one or more Tags. The Interrogator is at a known location, and is in motion with respect to the Tag at a known velocity. One or more Tags of the system receive and demodulate the modulated radio signal, whichcontains a first information signal which specifies which Tag or Tags should respond using Backscatter Modulator means. The Tag generates a subcarrier signal, and backscatter modulates the reflection of the radio signal using the subcarrier signal, thereby forming a reflected signal. The Interrogator receives and demodulates the reflected signal. The Interrogator then determines the Tag's relative direction from the location and velocity of the Interrogator, and from the Doppler shift of the subcarrier signal. More than one of such measurements allow the location of the Tag to be determined.
