Patent EP-1136776-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RIZZI ROBERTO
IPC: F27D99/00
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A device (10) for injecting solid fuels in atomised
form into a cement kiln (12) is installed at the mouth
of a burner (11), and comprises a nozzle for liquid
fuels (5), a first pipe (4), coaxial to the nozzle of
liquid fuels (5), and an annular piping (1), for
injecting the solid fuel in atomised form. In such
device (10), the annular piping (1) is divided into a
plurality of sectors (1a, 1b) converging towards the
burner mouth, so as to allow the formation of alternate
rich solid fuel flows, and poor solid fuel flows. The
device (10) also exhibits an outside baffle (3) for
addressing the primary and secondary air flows,
maintaining them sufficiently separate for controlling
the first stages of the combustion process relating to
the NO x  formation.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a fin for a heat exchanger includes the steps of
forming an intermediate pre-formed plate, which has adjacent zigzag strips, by passing a flat
plate material between a pair of first processing rollers, and forming a fin by passing the
intermediate pre-formed plate between a pair of second processing rollers to bend the zigzag
strips at a portion connecting adjacent zigzag strips. The fin includes a plurality of waving strips
arranged adjacent to each other in the transverse direction, which are offset in the longitudinal
direction. The adjacent waving strips are connected only between the flat portions of the waving
strips at a connection length less than or equal to a plate thickness. The fin may be manufactured
readily and inexpensively. A heat exchanger using the fin as an inner or outer fin may exhibit
superior performance.

Abstract: A pre-decoder applied to a turbo decoder for decoding
a punctured turbo code. The turbo code consists of a
plurality of parity bit streams, parts of which are
punctured. The pre-decoder has an arithmetic unit (10) for
calculating an estimation value of the parity bit streams
by carrying out a same algorithm with respect to the data
bit stream which is used by a turbo encoder to produce the
parity bit streams, a comparison unit (20) for comparing
the plurality of parity bit streams with the estimation
value, and a recovery unit (30) for substituting the
punctured bits of the parity bit streams for bits of the
estimation values corresponding to the punctured parts
when the respective bits of the parity bit streams are
identical with the bits of the estimation values
corresponding to the punctured parts. The punctured parity
symbols are recovered by the pre-decoder completely, or at
least partially, and provided to the turbo decoder.
Accordingly, the decoding performance of the turbo decoder
is enhanced.
