Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a digital communication system where multiple media data sources are time multiplexed into a packetized data stream, each packet having an assigned priority and the packetized data stream transmitted in substantially the order of assigned priority. At both the transmit side, and the receive side, audio packets are given priority processing over video packets, which in turn have priority over text/graphics data packets. Continuous real time audio playback is maintained at the receiver by delaying the playback of received audio in a first in/first out (FIFO) buffer (734, 742) providing a delay at least equal to the predicted average packet delay for the communication system. Optionally, the average system delay is continuously monitored, and the audio playback delay time is adjusted accordingly. Audio playback is slowed or accelerated in order to shrink or grow the difference in time between the sender and receiver. In another aspect of the invention, a conference of three or more callers is created by broadcasting a common packetized data stream to all conference callers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The proposed low-emission vortex furnace is intended for use in burning organic fuel and can be used most effectively for burning dust. The proposed low-emission vortex furnace comprises a combustion chamber (1) with a cold prismatic funnel (5) which has a slit aperture, and a device (7) positioned underneath the funnel and used for introducing the bottom blast. The furnace contains at least one burner (2) in the form of at least two fuel-air mixture feed ducts (2a, 2b), one duct lying above the other. Each of the ducts (2a, 2b) is provided with a device (3, 4) for adjusting the fuel/air ratio; this device ensures that the ratio of air to fuel in the upper duct (2a) is always higher than in the lower duct (2b). The longitudinal axes of the ducts (2a, 2b) are advantageously inclined so that the angle between the longitudinal axis of the lower duct (2b) and the projection of that axis onto the furnace wall is less than in the case of the upper duct (2a). The furnace may also be provided with a device (8) for feeding fuel of a particular fractional composition into each duct. During operation of this furnace, three operational zones are formed in the furnace chamber, namely, an ignition and active combustion zone; a reduction zone; and a re-heating zone. This reduces the quantities of nitrogen oxides produced while ensuring that the furnace is highly economical to operate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Accessories for an angle grinder include a disposable rotary sanding disk having quite large shaped ventilating/viewing apertures, for use with a resilient backing plate also having shaped ventilating apertures. The apertures of one or both parts are shaped so that snagging of the apertures on projections from the work surface is minimized and to facilitate air flow across the work surface during use. This air flow helps in cooling the work and ejecting detritus, so minimising clogging effects. The ventilating apertures also facilitate viewing the work to be sanded through the spinning disk during the abrasion process, so that operator feedback is immediate. The holes also give the sanding disk more resilience so that a greater area comes in contact with the work and the disk wears more evenly over its abrasive surface.

Abstract: A propulsion system for accelerating and directionally controlling a fluid having a continuous dynamic surface (40) for circulating through a fluid from an entrainment region (44) where fluid is introduced to the dynamic surface (40) to a thrust region (46) where fluid is discharged from the dynamic surface (40). The dynamic surface (40) accelerates the fluid proximate to the surface so as to produce a layer of accelerated fluid from the entrainment region (44) through the thrust region (46). A motor is operatively connected to the dynamic surface (40) for driving the dynamic surface (40). A separator plate (60) is positioned next to the dynamic surface (40). The separator plate (60) has a leading edge (62) for stripping the layer of accelerated fluid from the dynamic surface (40) and a substantially flat thrust face (64) adjacent to the leading edge (62) for directing the accelerated fluid in a desired direction. The separator plate (60) is positionable with respect to the dynamic surface (40) such that the edge (62) is generally in close proximity to the dynamic surface (40), and the thrust face (64) is substantially tangential to the dynamic surface (40) for at least a portion of the thrust region (46). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A limited action flow control fluid dispenser. The fluid dispenser includes a housing (1001), a plunger (1004) positioned within the housing, and a nozzle (1007). The housing (1004) has a fluid inlet (1020), a fluid outlet (1012) and a cavity (1074). The plunger (1004) is longitudinally positioned within the cavity (1014) and is slidable between a first position and a second position. The first position permits fluid flow from the fluid inlet (1020) through the cavity (1014) and out from the fluid outlet (1012). The second position prevents fluid flow. The plunger (1004) includes first and second ends, a substantially uniformly concave section, a velocity reducing section, a sealing section, and a constant volume section. In operation, the plunger serves to reduce foaming in carbonated beverages, such as beer, and facilitate pressurization of the fluid delivery system. In another aspect of the present invention, a velocity reducing device is provided that includes a first end mated with the fluid inlet and a second end that is mated with a fluid supply line. Turbulence is created within the velocity reducing device to reduce the fluid velocity prior to entering the fluid dispenser.
