Abstract: A virtual world environment is provided having chat clusters. Chat clusters are groupings of avatars of users who are engaged in a closed conversation. Accordingly, a request to initiate a chat cluster is received from a user. Next, the other participants of the chat cluster are identified, and a conversation area within the virtual environment is defined. The conversation area is a unseen demarcated area within which the avatars of the participants are positioned. The conversation area is generated responsive to the number of participants in the chat cluster, i.e., for two participants, the area is small, and for a cluster with many participants, the conversation area is large. Then, the avatars are oriented within the conversation toward each other. If the conversation area is a circular area, the avatars face the center of the circle. When displayed to the users of the virtual world, the avatars appear to be naturally displayed as groups of people having conversations with each other. Thus, new users can immediately identify which users are conversing with each other, and can tell which users are available for approach. Once initiating a chat cluster, the participants of the chat cluster broadcast their communications on a chat cluster communication channel, and the user's view of the virtual world focuses on the other participants of the chat cluster. The chat cluster communication channel conducts communications from participants only to other participants of the chat cluster and blocks communications from those not part of the chat cluster.

Abstract: A description is given of a method as well as a plant for manufacturing cement clinker by which method cement raw meal is preheated in a preheater (1), calcined in a calciner (3) comprising an upper end (3a) and a lower end (3b), burned into clinker in a kiln (5) and cooled in a subsequent clinker cooler (7). The invention is peculiar in that exhaust gases from the kiln (5) are introduced into the upper end (3a) of the calciner, in that fuel is likewise introduced into the upper end (3a) of the calciner, in that the exhaust gas/fuel suspension is directed down through the calciner (3), in that preheated air from the clinker cooler (7) and preheated raw meal from the preheater (1) in combination or separately are fed into the calciner (3) at a location under the zone where exhaust gases from the kiln and fuel are introduced, in that the preheated air is directed down through the calciner (3), being gradually mixed with the exhaust gas/fuel suspension, in that the raw meal under the action of gravity is directed down through the calciner (3) along its wall, being suspended in the exhaust gases at the lower end (3b) of the calciner, and in that the exhaust gas/raw meal suspension is extracted from the lower end (3b) of the calciner and conveyed to a separating means (4) for separating the raw meal which is subsequently directed to the kiln (5). Hereby is obtained a significant reduction of the NOx which is led to the calciner together with the kiln exhaust gases, a high degree of fuel burn out even when using fuels with a low content of volatile constituents, and a low degree of conversion into NOx of the nitrogen which is led to the calciner together with the fuel.
