Title: Gas Discharge Image Display
Inventor: MATSUMOTO SADAYUKI
IPC: G09G3/28
Filed: 1993-12-23
Abstract: A gas discharge image display is formed by disposing a plurality of fluorescent lamps 1 each comprising a glass bulb 2 within which a rare gas is sealed, one or more pairs of external electrodes 5a and 5b located on the outer wall of the glass bulb 2, and a fluorescent layer 3 formed on the inner wall of the container facing the external electrodes 5a and 5b.  An alternating voltage pulse is applied between the paired external electrodes 5a and 5b by an X drive circuit 9 and a Y drive circuit 10 for discharge light emission, thereby displaying an image.  The pressure and alternating voltage in the fluorescent lamp 1 are changed in response to the type of fluorescent material, thereby making near light emission and discharge characteristics of the discharge lamps which differ in electric characteristics.

Title: Non-leaking switching double valve
Inventor: BRACKELMANN WOLFGANG
IPC: F16K1/44
Filed: 1994-09-16
Abstract: A leak resistant, switching, double valve system consists of two sliding valve bodies in a valve housing with connecting lines. The two sliding valve bodies, which can be actuated independently of one another, are in contact in the closed position with valve seats in the valve housing, and are located at some distance one behind the other, forming a leak cavity between them. During the opening process, the first sliding valve body, before it leaves its valve seat, while simultaneously reducing the size of the leak cavity, can be placed in contact with the second sliding valve body, which is provided with a tubular extension which exits the valve housing in a sealed manner and connects the leak cavity to the environment of the valve system. With such a double valve system, the invention teaches that an optimal cleaning can be performed with minimal consumption of flushing agent, because the two sliding valve bodies can be moved independently of one another, each by a partial stroke opposite to the direction of the opening motion, into a flushing position, in which the sliding valve body is free from its valve seat and is in contact with a housing stop provided with flushing agent passages.

Patent CA-2148356-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HILLER THOMAS LLOYD
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 1993-03-18
Abstract: In accordance with the principles of this invention, Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) signal streams are converted into Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells for switching and transmission across a telecommunications network. Each cell carries one PCM sample of up to 48 different voice connections, the voice connections selected from the PCM data streams because they have a common destination. The cells are transmitted over ATM virtual circuits, each circuit transmitting one cell every 125 µs. Advantageously, ATM transmission systems interface with PCM systems without adding appreciable delay and without requiring additional buffering. Advantageously, new voice paths can be established most of the time by using available slots in the cells of existing virtual paths. This invention can also be used for implementing a large switching system or a cluster of highly interconnected smaller systems.

Title: System and device for supplying oxygen-containing gas into a furnace
Inventor: UPPSTU ERIK
IPC: F23L9/06
Filed: 1993-11-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a device for firing fuel supplied into the furnace as solid or fluid particles (1), which consist e.g, of spent liquors from the pulp industry and the organic content of which is partly burnt as char (2) on the floor (3) of the furnace with oxygen-containing gas jets (4), which usually are arranged in horizontal rows, and partly higher up in the furnace as char in suspended particles and as volatiles, utilizing vertical rows of oxygen-containing gas jets (5), which induce strong flows perpendicular to the jet rows, or in other words give good horizontal mixing, enabling burning with lower oxygen content thus reducing emission of NO x, but on the other hand weak vertical gas flows, which give stronger concentration of burning in the lower part of the furnace, and thanks to that higher temperatures and better burning stability but less transportation and carry-over of particles.
