Title: Compact multiple tube steam reformer
Inventor: GUBNER ANDREAS
IPC: F23D14/22
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: A compact, multitube steam reformer converts a fuel into a reformate stream comprising hydrogen. In one embodiment, the reformer comprises a closed vessel and a burner disposed within the vessel. The burner comprises a start fuel manifold (350) for receiving and distributing a start fuel stream, an oxidant manifold (310) for receiving and distributing an oxidant stream, and a burner fuel manifold (320) for receiving and distributing a burner fuel stream. The oxidant manifold comprises a plurality of oxidant distribution tubes (314), each having an inlet end and an outlet end, disposed in a separator member (316). The burner fuel manifold comprises a plurality of burner fuel distribution tubes (324), each having an inlet end and an outlet end. The burner fuel distribution tubes extend through the start fuel manifold (350) and the oxidant manifold (310) and are fluidly isolated therefrom. The outlet end of each of the burner fuel distribution tubes (324) extends into the inlet end of a corresponding oxidant distribution tube (314), thereby forming a gap between the outer wall of the burner fuel distribution tube and the inner wall of the oxidant distribution tube. The start fuel manifold has one or more openings (354) therein associated with at least a portion of the burner fuel distribution tubes.

Patent CA-2436442-A1 (CA)
Title: Packaging system
Inventor: KONDO HIROSHI
IPC: B65B43/12
Filed: 2003-08-05
Abstract: An article to be packaged and a packaging bag for covering the article are supplied to heat sealing mechanisms which arrive at uniform time intervals, in synchronism with cycle timing of the respective heat sealing mechanisms. A vertically openable beak-shaped hopper and a sliding plate perform reciprocal movement at a uniform time interval along guides on both sides, and arrive at circulating sealing platforms. The hopper is inserted into an opening of the packaging bag hanging down from above, and conveys the packaging bag to the sealing platform whilst extending the same. In response to a relevant signal, a forward-and-reverse motor coupled to a ball screw causes the article to advance following the hopper by an insertion rod moving along the guides. If there is no resistance of the packaging bag on the opening-and-closing bars which open to opposite sides, a packaging bag absence signal is issued, and according to this signal, the insertion rod is withdrawn together with the hopper, leaving the article on the sliding plate, and subsequent advance timing of the hopper is controlled.
