Abstract: Conventional art has a structure consisting of a roll axis incorporating a structure of fine pores, and a roll unit provided around the outer circumference of a roll axis, wherein internal pressure of the roll axis is dispersed to the roll unit to make a fluid (gas-liquid) suction action, thus reducing the pressure loss and obtaining even distribution of the fluid (gas-liquid). As such, instead of a tubular roll axis, the structure of a roll axis is made fin-shaped or groove-shaped to maximize the action surface area that works on the inner pressure of the roll axis of the roll unit.  However, other problems such as inefficiency of the fluid (gas-liquid) suction action and lack of mechanical strength of the roll axis remains. To solve these problems, this invention provides a functional roll incorporating a structure of a lattice-shaped fluid (gas-liquid) guidepath made of high-density porous sheet material to activate the internal pressure of the roll axis, therein the structure of the lattice-shaped fluid (gas-liquid) guidepath, consisting of an internal pressure action space made of a cut-out portion provided on the circumference of the roll axis, and in the axis direction of the roll unit, and an internal pressure branching guidepath made of low-density porous sheet material, or a space communicating with the internal pressure action space, as well, being provided in the radial direction of the roll unit.

Abstract: Relays can be used to facilitate communication of a packet, such as from a base station to a mobile device. The packet can include a header that designates an intended destination for the packet. The header can transfer such that the intended destination designation can be sent with or without being decompressed at a relay. If there is more than one relay involved in com-munication, then the header can configure such that the header is accessible without performing decompression. However, if there is one relay stop, then the header can compress the designator in such a way that decompression should occur.

IPC: F23N1/02
Filed: 2009-06-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for controlling the fuel-air ratio during the combustion of ground coal in the firing system of a coal power plant, which comprises means for the pneumatic delivery of ground coal to the burners of the firing system of the coal power plant and means for feeding combustion air to the burners or into the firing chamber of the firing system of the coal power plant and in which the amount of combustion air and the amount of carrier air is controlled. The aim of the invention is to achieve a high reliability of the control combined with low maintenance of the air mass measurement devices for measuring the amount of combustion air and carrier air. According to the invention, this aim is achieved by a measurement device for measuring the amount of combustion air which, according to the correlation measurement method, evaluates the triboelectric effects on sensors which are arranged in series in the direction of flow of the combustion air and thus measures the flow velocity of the combustion air. To this end, between 0.1mg and 10mg of fine-grained particles having a particle diameter of between 20 µm and 200 µm are introduced per m3 air into the suctioned fresh air. The introduction of particles into the suctioned fresh air is carried out essentially during the starting phase of a firing system of a coal power plant. The measurement of the amount of carrier air is preferably carried out by means of a correlation measurement device that evaluates the triboelectric effects on sensors which are arranged in series in the carrier air stream in the direction of flow of the carrier air.
