Abstract: Device for heating a heating device, especially a heating furnace, with solid, flowable combustion material, especially wood pellets, comprises a burner (7) containing a combustion chamber arranged above a cinder dump and having an upward-facing flame outlet opening (20) and emptied into the cinder dump via a base-side waste disposal door (21) having a moving closing element (22) provided with primary air openings (34). The closing element is a double-walled hollow plate having an upper wall designed as a slatted plate (36) containing the primary air openings and a lower wall designed as an opening-free closing plate (37) closing the cinder dump off from the combustion chamber. The hollow chamber between the slatted plate and the closing plate is designed as an air channel (44) communicating with an air-loaded pressure chamber and separated by a separating wall (16) from the combustion chamber. The primary air openings lead from the air channel, which communicates with a flow channel (45) leading to a secondary air opening (35).

Abstract: A power factor correcting power supply includes an input stage power converter and an output stage power converter. The input stage power converter includes a plurality of series connected boost switches and a power factor correction controller. The power factor correction controller may direct the operation of the boost switches with series interleave phasing to perform power factor correction and voltage regulation. The boost switches are supplied input voltage and input current from a power source. The input voltage is converted to a DC boost voltage by high frequency series interleaved switching of the boost switches. The DC boost voltage is converted to a DC output voltage by the output stage power converter. The DC output voltage is provided on a DC rail for a load of the power factor correcting power supply.

Abstract: An automatically-activated code symbol reading system (1) comprising a bar code symbol reading mechanism (4) contained within a hand-supportable housing having a manually-activatable data transmission switch (7A). During symbol reading operations, the bar code symbol reading mechanism (4) automatically generates a visible laser scanning pattern (10) for repeatedly reading one or more bar code symbols on an object during a bar code symbol reading cycle, and automatically generating a new symbol character data string in response to each bar code symbol read thereby. During system operation, the user visually aligns the visible laser scanning pattern (3, 10) with a particular bar code symbol on an object (e.g., product, bar code menu, etc.) so that the bar code symbol is scanned, detected and decoded in a cyclical manner. During the bar code symbol reading cycle, the user actuates the data transmission switch (7A) producing a data transmission control activation signal and enabling a currently or subsequently produced symbol character data string to be automatically selected and transmitted to the host system (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for real-time policy evaluation in support of network management and service provisioning are presented. The apparatus includes a policy repository, a scheduler, a triggering module, a pre-computation module. A policy equivalency class association is determined for each policy-managed entity, policy, policy-managed information flow of information and/ or any part of a communication network. Policy conditions are divided into triggering and passive conditions. The scheduler prioritizes policy evaluation for policies associated with passive conditions for entire policy equivalency classes applicable to large numbers of policy-managed entities. Real-time events and updates are trapped via triggering conditions and related policy evaluation is performed for the entire policy equivalency class, for a large number of policy-managed entities, in real-time. A policy decision distribution mechanism provides policy-managed entities with policy decisions for enforcement. Policy evaluation includes changing the association of a policy-managed device with a group of policy equivalency classes. Advantages are derived from real-time policy evaluation of policies related to entire policy equivalency classes, each policy equivalency class being associated with large numbers of policy-managed entities. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a transport and gliding device for surfboards, comprising a guided stream of water influenc-ing the action of the surfboard, and a plurality of flexible parallel tubes ( 1 ) which are inclined at an angle ( 2 ) and have a non-abrasive, pressure-insensitive cover. Water flows upstream through said tubes which are preferably arranged or fixed on a solid base with spac-ers. In the region of the board gliding thereover, the cross-section of the tubes is reduced to a maximum value of zero by the gliding and squashing edge ( 5 ) of the board. In this way, the upwardly flowing water column ( 3 ) in the tube moves the board ( 4 ) with the surfer upwards. Strong jets of water ( 8 ) are also sprayed upwards on the surface of the tube, hitting the lower side of the board when it tilts and thus also pushing the board with the surfer upwards. The inventive gliding device can either be used in a buoyant manner on a lake, on the land or in areas with pools.

Abstract: A lamp including a reflective portion is utilized in a fluid purification system to maximize the light delivery to a photocatalytic coating that oxidizes gaseous contaminants that adsorb onto the surface to form carbon dioxide, water, and other substances. An ultraviolet light source positioned proximate to the honeycomb activates the titanium dioxide coating. In one example, the reflective portion is a reflective coating. Light directed out of the non-reflective portion of the lamp travels towards the honeycomb and absorbs onto the photocatalytic coating. Light directed towards the reflective portion on the lamp is reflected off the surface of the reflective portion and passes through the non-reflective portion of the lamp to also absorb onto the photocatalytic coating. The reflective portion reflects light towards the honeycomb that would otherwise be misdirected away from the honeycomb, increasing efficiency of the fluid purification system.
