Title: Fuel burner apparatus and method employing divergent flow nozzle
Inventor: YAP LOO T
IPC: F23D14/84
Filed: 1993-12-07
Abstract: A burner for burning fuel in an oxidant having a fuel nozzle sandwiched between upper and lower oxidant nozzles. The fuel nozzle and upper and lower oxidant nozzles produce fuel and oxidant jets of outwardly divergent, fan-shaped configuration to provide a wide uniform flame and thus the elimination of hot spots. Upper and lower secondary oxidant nozzles can be provided in staged combustion such that fuel is burned and oxidant supplied by the upper and lower oxidant nozzle means in the substoichiometric ratio and then combustion is completed by oxidant supplied by the secondary upper and lower oxidant nozzles. In another aspect, a nozzle is provided in which a passageway is divided in a lengthwise direction and thus the flow of oxidant flowing through the passageway is divided into a plurality of subflows of equal velocity and of gradually divergent configuration to prevent the decay of a fan-shaped flow of oxidant from the nozzle.

Title: Sulfur recovery enhanced by oxygen-enriched gas supplied by gas separation membranes
Inventor: NASATO ELMO
IPC: C01B17/04
Filed: 1996-05-24
Abstract: Sulfur recovery processes are supplied with oxygen-enriched air obtained by passing atmospheric air through gas separation membranes. The oxygen-enriched air is used in any portion of the process where combustion occurs, including the initial Claus reaction furnace, fuel-fired or acid gas-fired reheaters, tail gas incinerators, incinerators in tail gas cleanup units, or two or more of these locations at once. The use of membranes rather than other means of achieving oxygen enrichment reduces certain risks of accidental increases in the oxygen content and provides an easily maintained and transported source of oxygen at low cost.

Abstract: The guitar string holder can effectively convert a twelve-string guitar into either a six-string guitar or a Nashville guitar by lowering six of the twelve strings below the operative plane. The base of the guitar string holder fits onto the body or through a slot in the top of the guitar for solid top designs, or fits into the sound hole and is held upward against braces located beneath the top surface of the guitar. Alternatively, the guitar string holder can be slid onto opposing edges of the sound hole. When the base is slid onto opposing edges of the sound hole, a frictional fit is achieved and wood screws are not needed. Six arms extend from the base of the guitar string holder and accommodate corresponding hooks. Each hook can hold one of the guitar strings beneath the operative plane. It is also possible to use the guitar string holder to hold selected strings, to thereby provide a standard six-string guitarand a Nashville guitar pretuned to different open tunings.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing false rejection in a speech recognition system
Inventor: GUPTA VISHWA
IPC: H04M3/493
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for grouping orthographies in a speech recognition dictionary to reduce false rejection.   In a typical speech recognition system,  the  process  of  speech  recognition  consists  of scanning  the  vocabulary  database  by  using  a  fastmatch algorithm to find the top N orthography groups. In a second pass the orthographies in the selected groups are re-scored using more precise likelihoods. The top orthographies in the top two groups are then processed by a rejection algorithm to find if they are sufficiently distinct from one another. In the affirmative the top choice candidate is accepted, otherwise the entire procedure is terminated.   The novel method  comprises   the   steps   of  grouping  confusable orthographies together to reduce the possibility of false rejection.

Title: Digital broadcast receiving terminal apparatus
Inventor: HIROTA ATSUSHI
IPC: H04N21/433
Filed: 1997-01-13
Abstract: Digital broadcast receiving terminal apparatus which receives multi-channel digital broadcast signals to record the huge capacity without deteriorating the quality of signals and to visualize the digital broadcasting. The outputs form the error correction decoding circus 4 are applied to the TS processor 12 via the switches SW 1 and SW 2, at the same time they are applied to the recording program selector 11. The recording program selector 11 applies the encoded data of the predetermined program to the digital interface 13, the digital interface 13 inputs and outputs the encoded data through bus in the IEEE1394 specification for example. Thus, the encoded data are applied to the external equipment and recorded as they are, and the degradation of the quality can be prevented. The switches SW 1 and SW 2 changes the receiving signals and the outputs from the digital interface 13 and applies them to the TS processor 12. The TS processor 12 depacketizes the input encoded data. Therefore, the image reproduction based on the receiving signals or the outputs from the external equipment can be carried out.

The second periodic function generator has an output that differs from an output of the first periodic function generator by a phase angle, preferably 90 degrees. A first multiplier multiplies the first output of the detector by the output of the first periodic function generator. A second multiplier multiplies the second output of the detector by the output of the second periodic function generator, wherein the outputs of the first and second multipliers are provided as inputs of the circuit to modify the error signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Magnetizable moieties in separation, sequencing and amplification of polynucleotides and polypeptides and magnetic detection thereof
Inventor: ADELMAN LONNIE W
IPC: C12Q1/6816
Filed: 1995-09-29
Abstract: A method for sequencing nucleotides by attaching magnetizable moieties to the components of a mixture of such polynucleotides, proteins and fragments, subjecting the mixture to a separation procedure to distribute the compounds on a substrate in a pattern according to molecular size and quantity, imparting magnetic properties to the attached magnetizable moieties, and then subjecting the substrate to magnetic reading to determine the molecular size and quantity of the compounds. Also disclosed is a method for monitoring a molecule amplification process wherein primers are used to produce copies of a molecule, which primers become part of the copy of the molecule by attaching a magnetized moiety to each primer such that the copy has magnetizable moieties at each end. The magnetizable moieties may then be magnetized. By subjecting the mixture to a magnetic field, the primers in the mixture can be separated from the copies produced and then the copies produced can be analyzed by a magnetic field sensor to determine the amount of copies produced.
