Abstract: The steam boiler has a number of flues and a de-NOx installation as a catalyser with an NH3 injection device for reduction of the NOx constituents in the flue gas. Seen in the direction of flow of the flue gases, the catalyser lies in front of the last flue in a boiler section which conducts the flue gases downwards. The boiler section upstream of this boiler section is adjustable with regard to its passage cross-section depending upon the flue-gas temperature prevailing in front of the catalyser. This passage cross-section can be increased with falling flue-gas temperature. The boiler section upstream of the catalyser is designed as a smoke pipe flue (4). One of the smoke pipes (6) forming this smoke pipe flue (4) has a diameter which is enlarged in relation to the other smoke pipes (5) of this flue. The passage cross-section of the smoke pipe (6) can be adjusted with a throttle flap (9). The catalyser-side end of the flue (4) which is of adjustable passage cross-section opens into a chamber (7). In the chamber (7), the catalyser-side end of the smoke pipe (6) having the enlarged diameter merges into an upwardly-directed pipe-like extension (25). At a distance from the mouth opening of this pipe-like extension (25), an essentially horizontally lying perforated sheet (27) is provided. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bipolar sphinctertome for use in endoscopic retrograde sphincterotomy procedures includes an elongated, flexible, plastic tube (12) having either a single or a double lumen and includes a segment near its distal end (20) which is both flexible and conductive. This segment is connected by a wire (24) extending through the lumen to a terminal at the proximal end of the device adapted to be coupled to an electrosurgical generator. A second, longitudinally movable wire (26) passes through the lumen and is connected at the proximal end (30) to a finger-operated slide mechanism while its distal end passes through a small aperture (28) formed in the tube just proximal of the flexible conductive segment. That wire is then anchored to the non conductive tip (16) of the flexible distal end. The flexible part, conducuctive (20) constitues the return electrode of a bipolar system, where the wire (16) constitues the cutting electrode. When a tensioning force is applied to the wire, the distal end portion of the instrument will bow, so that the exposed wire will be in the cutting configuration. A two-piece handle assembly permits the sphinctertome to be treated as a disposable, single-use surgical instrument.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for saving memory space in a buffer whereby the valid bit in the entry of the translation lookaside buffer for a cache memory is collapsed into one of the level bits indicating the length of the virtual address. During the lookup of the translation lookaside buffer, the virtual address in each entry is compared with the virtual address from the CPU if the level/valid bit is set, i.e. the entry is valid. If the level/valid bit is not set, then no compare takes place and the lookup continues to the next entry. The length of the virtual address to be compared is further determined by the status of the remaining level bits.

Abstract: Folding cartons are known which are preferably used as packaging containers for bars of chocolate and can be bent for better removal of the bars of chocolate in such a way that a roof-shaped stand is produced. In order to maintain this assumed shape during use of the folding carton, that is to say to guarantee retention of the two halves of the folding carton standing at an acute angle relative to each other, a metal foil is provided which is bonded to the two halves of the folding carton, partially covering the latter in the region of the crease. The application of this metal foil is relatively awkward and expensive. However, disposal of the folding carton is also problematic since said carton, otherwise consisting of cardboard, cannot be recycled. In contrast, the novel folding carton is intended to be able to be produced more economically and further processed without problems. 
<??>For this purpose, a tab (4) is provided which can be bent in parallel to the crease (9) and connected to the back (2). On at least one side running transversely to the crease (9), the tab (4) has a catch device (7) corresponding to the back (2). 
<??>The retaining part is now a constituent of the folding carton and can be incorporated simultaneously when the folding carton blank is punched out.

Abstract: A process for removing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from a combustion exhaust gas of a boiler which generates steam for driving high, intermediate, and low pressure turbines. The process comprises the steps of removing CO₂ in the combustion exhaust gas by absorption with a CO₂-absorbing liquid, liquefying the removed CO₂ by compression and cooling, storing the CO₂, and regenerating the CO₂-absorbing liquid by a CO₂-absorbing liquid regeneration column equipped with a reboiler. In the process, a part of steam discharged from the high pressure turbine is used to drive turbines for compressors that compress and cool the CO₂, and steam discharged from the compressor turbines is supplied as a heating source to the reboiler for the regeneration of the CO₂-absorbing liquid. A decrease in the overall power plant efficiency due to the removal of carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas can be reduced.

Abstract: A facsimile machine for single sheets comprises an ink-jet printing head (54) and a line feed device (41) mounted upstream of the printing line (59) to make the sheet (50) advance incrementally. A technical problem of the machine is that of printing adjacent to a trailing edge of the sheet, and that it should be of relatively low cost. An extraction mechanism (82) is provided, having driven rollers (80,85) which may be activated from a state of disengagement with a partially printed sheet to a state of engagement with the sheet. The sheet is drawn forward sufficiently to enable the head to print lines adjacent to the trailing edge of the sheet. The extraction mechanism is actuated when a given reference position of the sheet with respect to the head is detected. A single service motor (84) and suitable cam means (86) drive the special mechanisms of the machine.
