Abstract: A self-cooled oxidant-fuel burner consisting novel fuel and oxidant nozzles and three compartment refractory burner block design is proposed. The new oxidant-fuel burner can fire in high-temperature (2200 DEG F to 3000 DEG F) and high-particulate (or high process volatiles/condensates) furnaces without over-heating or causing chemical corrosion damage to it's metallic burner nozzle and refractory burner block interior. Using various embodiments of nozzle and block shape, the burner can offer a traditional cylindrical flame or flat flame depending on the heating load requirements. The new features of this burner include unique fuel nozzle (16) design for the streamline mixing of fuel and oxidant streams, a controlled swirl (24) input to the oxidant flow for desired flame characteristics, a controlled expansion of flame envelope in the radial and axial dimensions, and efficient sweeping of burner block (4) interior surface using oxidant to provide convective cooling and prevent any build up of process particulates. In addition, a relatively thick wall metallic nozzle construction with heat conduction fins (18) enable efficient heat dissipation from the nozzle tip and providing a maintenance free burner operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Communication systems employing subchannel communication such as OFDM or multicode CDMA have a disadvantage of power variation of the transmitted signal. The present invention provides reduced power variation without compromising performance or bandwidth. Information symbols to be transmitted on the individual subchannel are fed to encoders which map the information symbols into channel symbols by increasing their order. The encoding in response to a forward error correction scheme and includes selection between redundant symbol values to reduce power variation. Preferably the encoder includes a trellis coder jointly encoding the symbols and a compensation data set to reduce power variation.

Abstract: An optical scanning and imaging system and related method for scanning and imaging an object is disclosed. The scanning and imaging system does not use mechanically moving components to achieve lateral scanning of an object. Instead, the system includes a deflecting prism comprised of a material having an index of retraction that varies with changes in an applied electromagnetic field and that remains substantially constant with changes in wavelength of incident light within a predetermined wavelength range. An optical fiber transmits light within a predetermined wavelength from a light source through a gradient index lens which sends a collimated beam of light to the prism. Due to the unique properties of the prism, the light is deflected at a substantially constant angle within a lateral scanning plane. The scanning system is adapted to be used for medical imaging by disposing it within a distal end of a catheter.

Abstract: Droplet deposition apparatus comprises an array of fluid chambers (300,310), each chamber communicating with an orifice for droplet ejection, a common fluid inlet manifold (220) and a common fluid outlet manifold (210,230), and means for generating a first fluid flow into the inlet manifold, through each chamber in the array and into the outlet manifold, the fluid flow through each chamber being sufficient to prevent foreign bodies in the fluid from lodging in the orifice. Each chamber is associated with means for effecting droplet ejection from the orifice resulting in a second fluid flow simultaneously with the fluid first flow through the chamber. The resistance to flow of one of the inlet and outlet manifolds is chosen such that the pressure at a fluid inlet to any chamber in the array varies between any two chambers by an amount less than that which would give rise to significant differences in droplet ejection properties between these two chambers. The first fluid flow is greater than the maximum value of the second fluid flow.
