Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus arranged to maximize heat utilization for a hydrocarbon steam reforming process to produce synthesis gas. The apparatus comprises a refractory lined vessel with partition walls that divide the inside of the vessel into (1) a combustion chamber(s) containing one or more burners, and (2) convection chambers used as a means to remove combustion products from the combustion chamber through one or more openings at the opposite end of the burner end. The combustion chamber contains one or more reformer tubes in which a mixed-feed of hydrocarbon and steam flow co-current with combustion products and receive direct radiant heat from the combustion flame through the tube wall. The convection chambers contain a tube-in-tube device filled with catalyst in the annuli. The mixed-feed in the annuli flows counter-current with combustion products and the hot product synthesis gas, and thereby substantially lowers the temperature of the combustion and product gases before the gases exit the furnace. High emissivity materials or walls are used inside the convection chambers to enhance the heat transfer from the flue gas to the reformer tubes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention seeks to significantly reduce investment in expensive drying systems for vegetal particles, especially wood, during pre- preparation of the extruder when such vegetal particles exhibiting a high degree of moisture, for example, 8-14 % atro are intended to be pressed. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a conventional extruder is used, wherein the mixture of particles is pushed through a receptacle (4) and a hardening channel (6) by means of an extruder piston. The invention is characterized in that the walls (8) of the first section of the hardening channel (6) downstream from the receptacle (4) are arranged in such a way that they can yield (8,9) and thereby reduce friction as the extruder piston (3) advances. This prevents the strand of extruded material from becoming blocked in the pre-heating section of the hardening channel.

Abstract: A system and method for placing ads on a client-side video replay system. The described embodiments of the present invention allow a client to make a determination of ad placement priority separately from the function of serving ads to a requesting application. A described dynamic ad placement engine reorders ads when the context of the system is changed to yield a next ad to be placed. Thus, at a later time, when an application sends an ad request, the dynamic ad placement engine can quickly respond with the ad to be placed. The ads also are preferably reordered after an ad is placed. Placement of ads is controlled in the described embodiment by interpreted rules for each ad.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a tool for surface roughing, in particular for flooring, of the type consisting of a support (1) to be applied to a machine and of a layer made of an abrasive material fixed to such support, where the abrasive member consists of several diamond sectors (5) fitted onto said support (1) and buried into a mass of soft material, especially rubber. This configuration allows obtaining a tool capable of effectively machining the surface, performing an effective abrasive action without having these sectors damage the edges of ceramic or similar tiles. In practice, the mass of soft material where the diamond sectors (5) are buried serves as a protection to prevent them from scratching the edges of the tiles or slabs forming the flooring, but allowing the diamond to scrape the surface quite deeply. <IMAGE>
