Abstract: In a heating furnace an object to be heated is
heated by means of a plurality of heating sources
(4,5,6,7). Heating conditions are set for the heating
sources respectively, and the object is heated. A
temperature of the heated object is then detected at a
plurality of detection points (13), and a relationship
between a variation in the heating conditions in one of
the heating sources and a variation in a detected
temperature at each of the detection points (13) of the
heated object is computed for each heating source.
Then, heating conditions in the heating source for
causing the detection point of the heated object to
have a target temperature are calculated based on the
computed relationship, and the heating sources are
controlled based on the calculated heating conditions. 
     In this way, a temperature distribution of an
object to be heated is measured only a required minimum
number of times and thermal analysis for the object is
performed, thereby optimally heating the object.

Abstract: Oxygen (69) is produced in an integrated gas turbine-driven air separation
process in which heat of compression (3) is recovered from a portion (39) of the
compressed air feed (1) for the air separation process (53) by heat transfer (41,49) with
the nitrogen-rich product stream (55) from the air separation process (53), and the
heated nitrogen-rich product stream (44) is utilized (21) to generate steam (11). This
steam (11) is used to provide a portion of the work to drive the feed air compressor (3),

by expansion in a separate steam turbine (78). The process is useful for oxygen
production in remote locations where low-cost fuel is readily available and moderate
energy efficiency is acceptable, but where capital equipment costs are high and
operating complexity is undesirable.

Abstract: A modem parameter required for a modem apparatus
is stored in a memory(20) for each telephone number of
a communication destination in advance based on past
communications. At a communication time, a receiver
side is notified of an execution of the short protocol
by a QTSD signal, and sequentially a QINFO signal that
includes the modem parameter is transmitted. 
     Since the modem parameter is received by the
communication destination, the pre-protocols such as
exchange of parameter, etc., are shortened so that
communication time can be shortened. Moreover, since
the transmission of modem parameter is repeated until
it is confirmed that the communication destination
receives the modem parameter, occurrence of
communication errors can be avoided so that the shortened
pre-protocols can be surely executed.

Abstract: Techniques for developing and exchanging virtual machine implementations
and/or support library implementations are described. In one embodiment, the virtual
machine design specifies a set of functions for executing all or substantially all support
library operations that are dependent on the implementation of the virtual machine. When
a developer desires to substitute one virtual machine implementation for another, the
developer is able to basically "plug-in" the second virtual machine implementation with
minimal impact on the support libraries since both virtual machine implementations
provide implementations for the set of specified functions that are dependent on the
implementation of the respective virtual machine. Conversely, different support libraries
may be utilized in conjunction with a particular virtual machine implementation.
