Title: Arrangement and method for reducing build-up on a roasting furnace grate
Inventor: JAERVI JUHA
IPC: F27D25/00
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement and method that help to redu ce the build-up formed on the grate of a fluidized-bed furnace in the roasting of fine-grained material such as concentrate. The concentrate is fed into the roaster furnace from the wall of the furnace, and oxygen-containing gas is f ed via gas jets under the grate in the bottom of the furnace in order to fluidi ze the concentrate and oxidize it during fluidization. Below the concentrate fe ed point, or feed grate, the oxygen content of the gas to be fed is raised compared with gas fed elsewhere using additional gas jets situated in the fe ed grate higher than the other jets. The extra jets of the feed grate are connected to their own gas distribution unit.

Patent CA-2460204-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KALINITCHENKO IOURI
IPC: H01J49/26
Filed: 2002-09-10
Abstract: A mass spectrometer and method of mass spectrometry in which polyatomic and doubly charged ion interferences are attenuated by establishing an electron population through which a beam of particles containing elemental sample ions and the interfering ions is passed such that the interfering ions preferentially undergo ion-electron recombination and thus dissociation to remove a significant number of the interfering ions. Means (30 or 32) for providing a population of electrons (34 or 36) in an ICP-MS (22) may comprise a magnetic field means such as an electric coil, or an electron generating device. The population of electrons has an electron number density (>1011cm-3 to 1014cm-3), a free electron energy (>0.01eV to <5eV) in a region at a low pressure (<10 Torr), such that for a predetermined path length (1-4 cm) of the ions through the electron population, the interfering ions will preferentially be attenuated by the dissociative recombination process. The ion beam (40) then passes to a mass analyser (42) and ions which have been separated according to their mass-to-charge ratio are detected by ion detector (44).

Title: Vertical shaft internal combustion engine with overhead power take-off
Inventor: SHOEMAKER JOHN A
IPC: F02B67/04
Filed: 2002-10-22
Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a crankcase and a crankshaft mounted vertically in the crankcase. The crankshaft has an end that extends outwardly from the bottom of the crankcase for attachment to a primary implement, such as a lawnmower blade, that is to be driven by the engine. Another end of the crankshaft extends outwardly from the top of the crankcase and has a coupling to engage an accessory device. The accessory device may be permanently or removably attached to the engine. Preferably, a cover extends over the top of the crankcase and has an exterior surface from which a well extends toward the crankcase. The coupling projects into the well, but does not extend outwardly beyond the exterior surface of the cover so that the well thereby shields the rotating coupling from inadvertent contact by the user of the equipment on which the engine is mounted. A cap also may close the well when an accessory device is not connected to the coupling to further safeguard against inadvertent contact.

Title: Method and apparatus for predistortion training in an amplifier utilizing predistortion
Inventor: WILLIAMS CURTIS M
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2004-10-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for predistortion training in an amplifier using predistortion is provided herein. Predistortion takes place by collecting a series of envelope errors and averaging the envelope errors for various amplitude regions. LUT values are modified based on a curve-fit to the average amplitude values for each amplitude region. By utilizing a curve-fitting technique, the pitfalls of modifying individual LUT coefficients is avoided. Particularly, because the errors are collected in relatively broad regions and then averaged, the importance of exact correlation between a measured error and a specific LUT entry is significantly lessened.
