Abstract: In a process and apparatus for recovering sulphur from a combustible gas stream
comprising hydrogen sulphide, air, commercially pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched
air, and the combustible gas stream are fed to a burner 4 which fires into an
elongate furnace 2. A longitudinally extending flame 12 is created which as a
relatively oxygen-poor endothermic hydrogen sulphide dissociation region 14, and a
relatively oxygen-rich, intense hydrogen sulphide combustion region 16. Residual
hydrogen sulphide reacts with sulphur dioxide formed by the combustion to produce
sulphur vapour. The furnace 2 has an aspect ratio of 8:1. The flame 12 diverges
from its root to occupy at its maximum cross-sectional area at least 80% of the
cross-sectional area of the furnace interior coplanar therewith.

Abstract: A method is described to compensate for distortions in a
communications network wherein a central station is coupled to a plurality of
user network terminals via a plurality of communication channels consisting of
the cascade connection of a plurality of user network terminal links and a
common link. By this method, distortions which are common to all of said
communication channels are equalised within said central station, whereas
distortions which are only dependent on one respective communication channel,
are compensated within the respective user network terminal coupled to this
respective communication channel, by performing within said respective user
network terminal, a pre-correcting step on signals to be transmitted by said
respective user network terminal. A user network terminal, central station and a
communications network adapted to perform the present method are also
described.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de placer divers types de cathéters dans l'espace péricardique. Ledit procédé est basé sur le fait que l'oreillette droite constitue une structure à paroi mince et à faible pression dans laquelle on peut pénétrer sans endommager le péricarde ou l'épicarde. On introduit un cathéter guide (401) à travers une veine périphérique choisie afin d'établir un parcours transveineux jusqu'à l'oreillette droite du coeur. On introduit ensuite un cathéter à aiguille (402) à travers le cathéter guide jusque dans l'oreillette droite de manière que l'extrémité distale du cathéter à aiguille (402) est placée contre une paroi de l'oreillette droite. On perce alors la paroi de l'oreillette droite à l'aide du cathéter à aiguille (402). On fait avancer un guide métallique (403) à travers le cathéter à aiguille jusque dans l'espace péricardique. Une fois le guide métallique (403) mis en place, on peut l'utiliser comme un conduit sur lequel on introduit un cathéter désiré afin d'effectuer une procédure médicale déterminée.
