Abstract: A method of combusting fuel and air in a burner of an external combustion engine having a heater head. The fuel and air are combined to form a fuel-air mixture which is characterized by a fuel-air ratio. An exhaust gas product is produced when the fuel-air mixture is combusted in the burner of the external combustion engine. A flame is formed by igniting the fuel-air mixture at a first fuel-air ratio produced by a first air flow rate and a fuel flow rate. The air flow rate is then increased to produce a second fuel-air ratio. The fuel flow rate is also controlled based upon a temperature of the heater head of the external combustion engine. The flame is maintained at the second fuel-air ratio by adjusting the air flow rate based on the fuel flow rate. The external combustion engine may be, for example, a Stirling cycle engine.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for manually injecting fluid into a patient with improved contrast visualization are disclosed. The apparatus includes a syringe having a cylinder in which a plunger is reciprocatingly mounted. The syringe is connected to a manifold which itself is connected to a source of radiopaque contrast. Retraction of the plunger within the cylinder draws contrast into the cylinder, and depression of the plunger forces the contrast through the manifold and into a patient through a catheter. In order to increase the speed of injection and thus the visualization of the contrast, an improved visualization device is provided which may be provided in the form of a heater or, alternatively, in the form of an expandible catheter. The heater may be positioned anywhere within the apparatus to elevate the temperature of the contrast material, which in turn reduces its viscosity and thereby increases the speed with which fluid may be injected. The expandible catheter, may be used to restrict blood flow through a vascular structure so that the contrast material may be injected into the patient with lessened resistance and dilution from blood flow.

Abstract: Transmission power relative to a propagation path having a variation in gain is controlled to increase communication channel capacity, and a data rate is controlled in accordance with the variation of the increased communication channel capacity. In order to increase the communication channel capacity, the transmission power is determined so that the sum of noise power (= received noise power / propagation path gain) converted into one at a transmitter and the transmission power becomes constant. As a result, contrary to the background art, the transmission power is controlled to be reduced when the propagation path gain decreases and to be increased when the propagation path gain increases. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for defining the error of reference time (15) of a receiver in positioning means (S, MS). In the method a code-modulated signal transmitted by satellites (SV1-SV4) is received, which signal is produced by means of a code individual for each satellite (SV1-SV4) and the code-modulated signal is modulated at least with binary modulation information In the method, positioning is conducted to define the error of the reference time, and an error value (SSE) is calculated on the basis of the defined location. Furthermore, the minimum of the error value is searched by defining the location of the receiver (MS) by means of at least two different locations of the satellites corresponding to the time of transmission of the signal and by calculating an error value (SSE) for said at least two locations of the receiver (MS). The error of the reference time is defined on the basis of the searched minimum of the error value. Furthermore, in the receiver the moment of bit change in the modulation information is defined, wherein said moment of bit change is used for specifying the error of the reference time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A service module incorporated within the network infrastructure intercepts packets communicated between a client and a server to determine whether the connection corresponds to one of a plurality of service applications that may supported by the service module. If so, the service module breaks the connection by terminating the connection with the client at the service module and opening a separate connection between the service module and the server. The service application may then perform application-specific process of the data communicated between the client and server. In order to increase processing efficiency associated with classifying the connection between the client and the server, the service module stores classification rules in a plurality of hashing tables, with hash conflicts arranged as an m-ary tree structure. This arrangement enables the service module to efficiently search for classification rules and resolve hash conflicts without imposing a significant processing penalty.

Abstract: In a method and a device for identifying foreign bodies in a base textile material, the base textile material is subjected to beams and the beams reflected on the base material are detected and converted into an electrical signal. In order to detect foreign bodies in the material in a targeted manner and to differentiate them from each other, so all or only the unwanted foreign bodies can be, for example, eliminated, the beams have two defined and different wavelength ranges and the reflected beams are simultaneously and jointly detected from the two wavelength ranges. Preferably, a first defined wavelength range can be selected in such a way that the beams reflected on the base material provide random values in the electrical signal, for at least two different foreign bodies, and another defined wavelength range for the beams is selected in such a way that the reflected beams provide an electrical signal for the two foreign bodies, in a different ratio from the first wavelength range. The device contains a radiation source for radiation in at least two wavelength ranges, and a receiver for measuring the beams which are fully reflected by the material.
