Patent ZA-953146-B (ZA)
Title: Laser sculpting method and system
Inventor: FREY RUDOLPH W
IPC: A61F7/00
Filed: 1995-04-19
Abstract: A method and system are provided for eroding or ablating a shaped volume of an eye's corneal tissue (10) in accordance with the treatment of a specified eye condition. To determine the laser beam shot pattern, a plurality of laser beam shots of uniform intensity are first selected to form a uniform shot pattern of uniform shot density. The laser beam shots applied in accordance with the uniform shot pattern of uniform shot density would be capable of eroding a volume of the corneal tissue (10) of uniform height. The volume of uniform height is approximately equivalent to that of the shaped volume. The laser beam shots are applied to the corneal tissue in a spatially distributed pattern spread over an area approximately equivalent to the surface area of the shaped volume to be eroded. The spatially distributed pattern extends the uniform shot pattern in fixed angles from a reference position on the shaped volume representative of the shaped volume's axis of symmetry. Shot density for the laser beam shots changes in correspondence with distance from the reference position.

Inventor: KEPPLINGER LEOPOLD WERNER DIPL
IPC: C21B13/14
Filed: 2001-05-18
Granted: 2003-03-25
Abstract: To produce sponge iron (4,21) in a shaft furnace, from iron ore (8,19), it is reduced in a solid bed reduction zone (6). The reduction of the iron ore and an intermediate product is characterized by a specific reduction gas (5) consumption (RV(m3/t)). From the reduction zone, a metal oxide A has a chemical-physical transit into a metal oxide B according to RVB/RVA. At least part of the reduction gas is extracted, and at least a part-flow (9) of the extracted reduction gas is treated with heat (11) if necessary for the reduction of metal oxide A and/or a metal oxide C according to RVC-RVA-RVB. The degree of reduction is reduced by a partial combustion of the extracted gas returned to the reduction zone.

Granted: 2003-11-05
Abstract: Routers for trunk telecommunication systems currently operate at 2.5 Gb/s. Next generation routers will be required to switch 128 input data streams into 128 output data streams, each data stream being at a data rate of 10 Gb/s. Current routers employ massively parallel electronic switches to route data at 1.25 Gb/s. Such technology is reaching its limit and a new approach to high-speed switching is required. The present invention provides an apparatus and method for enabling such high-speed switching by providing a data compression apparatus which comprises a pulsed chirped laser (226) coupled to a modulator (218, 220), the modulator (218, 220) being coupled to a compressor (228, 230). A chirped laser pulse having the duration of a data packet is modulated with data received on an input channel and then passed through the compressor (228, 230) in order to generate a compressed modulated data pulse for high speed switching.

Abstract: The boiler has a forced draught system with the flames being directed downwards from the combustion chamber and through the fuel supporting grate. A fan blower unit, provides forced air to a distribution chamber from whence primary combustion air enters the upper part of the boiler (1a) above the fuel. Secondary combustion air flows out through a stub pipe to the interior of the tube (10) located just above the fuel supporting grate (9). The flow of combustion products is downwards through the grate (9) emerging through the aperture (9a) to enter the zone (1b) and penetrates the end of the dry pipes (11) where it actively exchanges heat with the water contained in the surrounding jacket (5). The combustion process is controlled by the water thermostat (27) which switches the fan blower on and off according to the water temperature.
