Abstract: A method and arrangement are disclosed for transmitting television programs via a plurality of channels, and an additional data service, for example, an Electronic Program Guide, via a selected television channel. While processing and displaying the program guide, prior art television receivers cannot continue the reproduction of a currently received TV program because the program is generally transmitted via a different channel. The invention provides a solution to this problem by duplicating a signal component representing, for example, the audio contents of the various television programs in said selected television channel. This allows customers to keep up with the service they were watching before, and to immediately return to the program if something of interest appears to happen. The invention is particularly applicable in Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) systems where each channel can accommodate a plurality of TV programs.

Abstract: The gas burner for a heater, and especially a water heater, has rib blades (28) and a stepped burner plate to give channels for the passage of the gas-air fuel mixture. The ribs have raised edges (36) in successive intervals at the longitudinal edges at the side of the combustion zone. The raised edge zones are offset against each other in neighbouring ribs. The ribs and raised edge zones have a unified interval (t). On displacing the raised edge zones of adjacent ribs, by the width (b) of an edge zone, a given number of channels are formed between their contact surfaces (42), and preferably three channels.

Abstract: In a catadioptric optical system, the first focusing lens system A includes a
concave mirror Mc, and it forms an intermediate image of the first plane R. The second
focusing lens system B includes an aperture stop AS, and it forms a refocused image of the
intermediate image on the second plane W. A reflecting surface M P1  is placed so that the
light flux leaving the first focusing lens system A is guided to the second focusing lens
system B. There are one or more lens surfaces that satisfy the condition
 h/ < 0.85 
and one or more lens surfaces that satisfy the condition
 0.85 < h/ < 1.2 
   where h is the height at each lens surface of the light beam that is assumed to be
emitted from the intersection of the optical axis of the first plane and passes through the lens
surfaces with the maximum numerical aperture, and  is the radius of the diaphragm of the
aperture stop. 
     At least one of the lens surfaces that satisfy condition (1) and at least one of the lens
surfaces that satisfy condition (2) are aspheric. The first aspheric element is placed near the
intermediate image, while the second aspheric element is placed near the concave mirror or
the aperture stop. The concave mirror itself may be formed as a second aspheric element.

Abstract: In an exhaust gas purification device, a three-way
catalyst, an NO x  absorbing-reducing catalyst and an NH 3 
adsorbing-denitrating catalyst are disposed in an exhaust
gas passage of the internal combustion engine. The
engine is provided with direct cylinder injection valves
which inject fuel directly into the respective cylinders.
A control circuit controls the amount of fuel injected
from the injection valve so that the air-fuel ratio of
the combustion in the cylinders becomes a lean air-fuel
ratio during the normal operation of the engine.
Therefore, a lean air-fuel ratio exhaust gas is
discharged from the cylinders during the normal operation
and NO x  in the exhaust gas is absorbed by the NO x 
absorbing-reducing catalyst. When the amount of NO x 
absorbed in the NO x  absorbing-reducing catalyst increases
to a predetermined level, the control circuit performs an
additional fuel injection during the expansion stroke or
exhaust stroke of cylinders in order to adjust the air-fuel
ratio of the exhaust gas leaving the cylinders to a
rich air-fuel ratio. The rich air-fuel ratio exhaust gas
leaving the cylinders flows into the three-way catalyst
and NO x  in the exhaust gas is converted into NH 3  at the
three-way catalyst. When the rich air-fuel ratio exhaust
gas flows through the NO x  absorbing-reducing catalyst,
NO x  is released from the NO x  absorbing-reducing catalyst
and is reduced to N 2  by NH 3  in the exhaust gas.

Abstract: A gyricon or twisting-particle display based on nonspheroidal (e.g.,
substantially cylindrical) optically anisotropic particles disposed in a
substrate. The particles can be either bichromal or polychromal
cylinders, preferably aligned parallel to one another and packed close
together in a monolayer. A rotatable disposition of each particle is
achievable while the particle is thus disposed in the substrate; for
example, the particles can already be rotatable in the substrate, or can
be rendered rotatable in the substrate by a nondestructive operation
performed on the substrate. In particular, the substrate can be made
up of an elastomer that is expanded by application of a fluid thereto so
as to render the particles rotatable therein. A particle, when in its
rotatable disposition, is not attached to the substrate. The close-packed
monolayer configuration of particles provides excellent
brightness characteristics and relative ease of manufacture as
compared with certain other high-brightness gyricon displays. The
substrate containing the cylinders can be fabricated with the swelled-elastomer
techniques known from spherical-particle gyricon displays,
with a simple agitation process step being used to align the cylinders
within the sheeting material. Techniques for fabricating the cylinders
are also disclosed.
