Abstract: A starter plant (10) is planted in soil (17) in a bottomless container (18), which is placed on a support surface (28). The plant is allowed to grow in a controlled environment until a time in its growing season when its root system is sufficiently developed to hold the soil (17) in the container (18) when the container (18) is removed from the surface (28). Then, the plant and the container (18) are planted as a unit in soil (30) in a field. The plant is allowed to grow to full size in the field, where it develops a densely rooted basal plate (32) inside the container (18) and feeder roots (34) that extend below the bottom of the container (18) into the soil (30). The plant is harvested from the field by undercutting the feeder roots (34) and removing the container (18) and the plant as a unit from the soil (30). The foliage (12) may be trimmed to a volume no bigger than the container (18), and the trimmed plant (38) may be stored or shipped. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a process for purifying combustion gases, an aqueous urea solution prepared in a reactant tank (20) is introduced into the hot exhaust gas stream (30) of varying concentration and finely sprayed in the direction of the exhaust gas stream. After decomposition of the urea in a pyrolysis channel (14), the exhaust gas stream (30) is homogeneously mixed in-line by a mixer (34) arranged in a mixing channel (16). In a subsequent in-line reaction channel (18), the reducible exhaust gas components are substantially completely reacted with the aqueous urea solution in at least one selective non-zeolite-containing reduction catalyst (36), then, depending on the plant, the oxidisable exhaust gas components are also substantially completely reacted without reactant in at least one oxidation catalyst (38) to form non-toxic gases. A two-component nozzle apparatus (26) opening out into the pyrolysis channel (14) includes a changeover valve (88) for the working position and the blow-out position, a jacketed pipe (24) for the compressed air, arranged in the region of the exhaust gas stream (30), a urea line conducted at a distance in the jacketed pipe (24) and a nozzle for fine spraying of the aqueous urea solution. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a communication system in which transmission takes place according to a format which permits different types of data to be combined and transmitted within a single transmission. The novel feature is that the communication system transmits variable length frames of data in packets, and that a data combining and transmission sub-system (14, 16, 18, 20) is provided so that when a frame of data does not require a complete packet for transmission, the data combining sub-system combines the frame of data with additional data to provide a complete packet. The data combining sub-system comprises input means for receiving the frame of data and the additional data and for combining the frame of data and the additional data to provide a complete packet responsive to a control signal, and control means for providing the control signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Dans un procédé visant à trier des thermoplastiques dans un flux de mélange (16), le thermoplastique à trier est chauffé dans sa plage de ramollissement par chaleur par convection ou par chaleur rayonnante, puis est acheminé, en état ramolli, conjointement avec les autres matières du mélange, jusqu'à un dispositif de broyage (9). En raison de la grosseur des particules et du comportement élastique du thermoplastique ramolli d'une part et des autres matières du mélange par ailleurs, le dispositif de broyage (9) ne prend et ne broie de manière sélective que le thermoplastique ramolli (19). Les autres matières (20) du mélange traversent sans être broyées la zone de chargement et de détection du dispositif de broyage (9) et sont évacuées séparément.

Abstract: A gaming apparatus which comprises a slat machine capable of accepting either paper currency, preprinted coupons, or cash out slips. The slot machine also includes a printer that prints and dispenses cash out slips which include a bar code representing a unique identification that provides the amount of "winnings". The cash out slips can be scanned into a separate currency dispenser at a Cashier's Station for receiving currency, either from the dispenser or from an attendant.
