IPC: C10J3/00
Filed: 2009-05-15
Abstract: A system for producing su-perior quality synthesis gas ("syngas") consisting of a series of chambers m which the gasification stages of reaction, homog-enization and activation occur The first stage reaction stage agitates and combines the reactants, consisting primarily of or-ganic matter, oxidizer and steam, to miti-ate gasification of the organic and volatile fraction and to transport the morganic residue to continuous removal In the ho-mogenization chamber, turbulence is in-duced by injecting gaseous species The gas mixture emerging from the homoge-nization chamber is accelerated via a third stage communicating duct and is intro-duced tangentially into the fourth stage ac-tivation chamber inducing a cyclonic mo-tion wherein a high intensity radiant heat source is introduced along the central axis of the gas vortex The syngas and remain-ing particulate materials are constrained to exit the activation stage through discrete portals which are oriented to further sepa-rate the syngas from the remaining en-trained particulates

Abstract: Quick-release skis couple to the front wheels of an ATV or other wheeled vehicle, to permit the ATV to travel over snow. The rear ATV wheels may be left unaltered, or more commonly, tracks may be substituted for the rear wheels. The ski coupling includes a drive-on runner and coupling having in one embodiment width-adjustable side walls, an over-center clamp, and a lock for securing the over-center clamp. In a second embodiment, a pivotal tire cage allows the ATV tire to be driven onto the ski, but simply by forward travel of the tire pivots to constrain the tire thereon. A strap then binds the tire and cage to ensure the tire stays in place on the ski. In a third embodiment, an ATV track is converted to a runner by the application and tensioning of a ski.

Patent CA-2746626-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEARN WILLIAM
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2009-01-23
Abstract: A plunger lift system has a bumper and a landing positioned in tubing below a safety valve of a well. A plunger moving between the bumper and landing lifts columns of liquid above the plunger when pushed by downhole pressure. A valve on the plunger's housing is movable between open and closed positions to either permit or prevent flow through the plunger. When the plunger engages the landing, a striker rod on the landing opens the valve permitting fluid communication through the plunger to a sales line at the surface. The valve is biased to the closed position to prevent fluid communication through the plunger. When the plunger is disengaged from the striker rod, the valve closes so that application of downhole pressure can again move the plunger uphole. A controller cycles the plunger between the bumper and the landing by controlling fluid flow in the well.

IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2010-01-29
Abstract: An item is allocated among two bidders that value the item very differently. The allocation is based on a probability that each of the bidders is allocated the item. The probability that each bidder is allocated the item is determined based on a non-linear function that is applied to bids that are received from the bidders.  The item can be allocated semi-randomly subject to the probability that each bidder is allocated the item. A bidder can be required to pay its bid price only when allocated the item or each bidder can be required to pay an all-pay price regardless of which bidder is allocated the item. If the item is allocated in multiple auctions, the bidders can be ensured allocation of the item a minimum number of integer times based on the probabilities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a boiler for decreasing the amount of nitrogen oxides in flue gases of a boiler, which flue gases are generated in the combustion of fuels and air. The boiler has a water circulation system comprising superheaters (8) and a furnace (1) for combustion of fuel and for generating flue gases that contain nitrogen oxides, which flue gases mainly flow upwards in the furnace and further to the superheater zone and via other heat recovery surfaces of the boiler out of the boiler, and a nitrogen oxides reducing agent is introduced into the flue gases. It is essential that the nitrogen oxides reducing agent is introduced into the flue gases prior to the superheater zone, before which the temperature of the flue gases is decreased by means of at least one heat exchanger (15) that is located in the flue gas flow upstream of the introduction of the reducing agent, for obtaining a suitable temperature window in the flue gas flow in order to reduce nitrogen oxides.

Abstract: A set top box interface 10 for one or more televisions permits the one or more televisions to directly control one or more associated set top boxes so that the each television may provide an integrated remote control interface for television and set top box functions.  Under direction of the interface 10, when each television is viewing the video source controlled by the interface, the television forwards remote control functions received by each television to the interface and translated for control of each associated set top box. The interface, after translation, forwards these remote control functions to the associated set top box. The invention is particularly useful in patient care environments where the television controls may be integrated into a pillow speaker / pillow remote, which can have a simple and intuitive format and yet control all of the relevant functions needed by the patient / guest functions of the set top box and television.
