IPC: F26B3/08
Filed: 1969-05-30
Abstract: 1,265,085. Endothermic processes. METALLGESELLSCHAFT A.G. 30 May, 1969 [30 May, 1968], No. 27593/69. Heading B1X. [Also in Divisions Cl and F4] In an endothermic process, a solid material to be treated, other than aluminium hydroxide, is heated and dewatered in a system of Venturi driers 3, 6 and cyclones 4, 5, 7 operated by exhaust gases from a fluidized bed furnace 9 before being fed to the latter. The solids are circulated in the furnace 9 by means of a cyclone 8 and are subsequently removed by a metering unit 15 and charged into a fluidized bed cooler 16 in which they are cooled directly by fluidizing air, the dust from which is removed by a cyclone 23, and indirectly by air passing through a system of tubes 21. Part of the air from the tubes 21 is supplied as fluidizing air through a grate 11 to the furnace 9, part is supplied at 12 as secondary air into the furnace, and part is combined with the air from cyclone 23 and passed to the system of Venturi driers 3, 6 and cyclones 4, 5, 7 by a conduit 26. Alternatively Fig. 2 (not shown), the whole of the air from the tubes 21 is passed through the grate to the furnace 9, the air from the cyclone 23 is blown as secondary air into the furnace 9 at 12 and solids are discharged for cooling from the cyclone 8. Solids leaving the cooler 16 are discharged through a star lock feeder 24 and by a bucket elevator 25. Fuel, e.g. oil or coal, is supplied to the furnace 9 at 10. The process may be applied to the treatment of phosphate rock, reducing reactions such as the formation of calcium sulphide from gypsum, the dewatering of inorganic compounds such as magnesium hydroxide and iron hydroxide, calcining and cracking processes involving lime, dolomite, raw cement powder or iron sulphate, or high temperature reactions such as the oxidation of ilmenite.

Abstract: 1296765 Defrosting ELECTROLUX Ltd 21 Sept 1970 [29 Sept 1969] 44855/70 Heading F4H In a continuous cycle absorption system operating with inert gas, a siphon pipe 25 for use in defrosting the system is arranged between a mantle 23, said mantle surrounding a standpipe 17 and an outer coaxial pipe 19, and the outer pipe 19. In operation. rich absorption fluid flows from the absorber vessel 10 via a conduit 12 to a pump 13 heat-conductively connected with a sleeve 14 for an electric heating cartridge. A riser pipe 16 of the pump 13 discharges into the standpipe 17 weak absorption solution, the upper part of the standpipe having openings into the outer pipe 19. In the pipe 19, the generated vapours are conducted downwardly to the rich solution passing down the liquid level 21 therein so far that the vapour can be conducted through a conduit 22 to a condenser. The upper part of the pipe 19 discharges into the mantle 23 which communicates through a connecting conduit 24 with the evaporator system. The siphon pipe 25 is connected to the mantle 23 in such manner that refrigerant condensate collected in the mantle is transmitted at intervals by the siphon to the pipe 19. The connection for vapour through the mantle 23 and the conduit 24 to the evaporator system is thus opened so that defrosting occurs. However, condensation in the mantle continues during defrosting, once again rising above the point 27 so that communication is interrupted.

The lower structure is similarly constructed from strips 12 and connectors 13. The connectors 5 each comprise a profiled, member of U section secured to each end of each beam 4 and adapted to be bolted to the mid-point of another beam 4, together with either the connector of a further beam or, if at the edge of the lattice, a clamping plate 11, the connectors 5 and plates 11 being shaped to fit partially around the mid point of the beam to which they are bolted. The connectors 13 may be in the form of either a pair of short plates 13a where, as at the edge of the lattice, it is only necessary to connect one strip end to a strip mid-portion, or a pair of longer plates 13b where two strip ends meet at the mid-point of a strip. In the former case, the plates are bolted to both strips whereas in the latter case the plates are bolted only to the opposed strip ends. The intermediate struts 3 are diagonal and may be supplemented at main support areas, e.g. where a load-bearing reinforcing structure 20 or a column 25 is built into the lattice work, by vertical beams 23, 28, respectively. In a modification (Fig. 4, not shown) the beams and strips are of greater length and the larger square apertures in the lattice thus formed are subdivided by further weaker beams and channel-section strips, respectively. The structure may include projections 18 for location of floor slabs and flanges 19 for location of cladding material. (For Figure see next page)

Filed: 1999-02-24
Abstract: A broadcasting method encodes program material using convolutional codes having non-puncturable bits and puncturable bits and modulates orthogonal frequency division multiplexed carrier signals with the convolutional codes. The non-puncturable bits are carried by a first group of the carriers and the puncturable bits are carried by a second group of the carriers, where the first group of carrier signals is less susceptible to interference than the second group of carrier signals. The carrier signals are then broadcast to receivers which determine if the carriers in the second group have been corrupted and erase puncturable bits carried by any of the carriers which have been determined to be corrupted. This produces punctured codes which are subsequently decoded to recover the program material.
