Abstract: A method for reducing pollution emissions from a glass melting furnace using electrostatic granular bed (EGB) technology. The granules in the EGB filter are themselves formed from an alkaline earth metal material. The granules react with sulfur compounds in the exhaust gas and form a layer of alkaline earth metal sulfates and sulfites in the granules. Simultaneously alkali metal-containing particles are deposited on the granules. The accumulated layers of pollutants are easily removed by mechanical agitation.

Abstract: A novel advanced set top terminal capable of digital decompression, menu generation, interactivity and other advanced functional capabilities for use in a television program delivery system (200) is described. The invention relates to methods and apparatus for upgrading existing set top terminals (220) to provide menu generation capability and advanced functional capabilities. The invention is particularly useful in television program delivery systems (200) with hundreds of channels of programming, providing (i) menu driven program selection through the addition of an upgrade module (300) or menu generation card and (ii) advanced functional capabilities using a set of hardware upgrades (e.g., 130) and/or an expansion card. Specifically, the invention is an upgradeable system that supports advanced set top functionality through the use of internal software, hardware upgrades, an upgrade module and/or expansion cards. The upgraded hardware generally includes a microprocessor, various input/output ports (e.g., 308), processing circuitry (e.g., 108) and memory (e.g., 116). The invention results in an upgraded set top terminal that supports: menu generation; picture-on-picture displays; program catalogue services; interactive services; telephone caller identification; digital audio reception; VCR control; HDTV reception; and backyard satellite system interoperability, among other features and capabilities.

Date Jan. 5, 1995The invention relates to a degressive gas spring. This has two cylinder-piston units (1, 2), one of which is selected as a working spring (1) and the other as a slave spring (2), the cylinders (1a; 2b) and the ends of the piston rods (1b; 2b) of which are mutually operatively connected so that compression of the working spring (1) also brings about simultaneous compression of the slave spring (2). The piston rod (1b; 2b) of each spring unit (1; 2) is mounted in an end wall (1c; 2c) in such a way as to be capable of sliding and supports a piston (1h; 2h). The axial position of this in the cylinder (1a; 2a) determines the volume of an enclosed, gas-filled space (1i; 2i) inside the unit. The piston (1h; 2h) in each spring unit (1; 2) is sealed against the cylinder wall (1a; 2a). The piston (1h; 2h) and/or the end wall (1c; 2c) has a recess which forms an annual chamber (1j; 2j). The piston rod (2b) in the slave spring unit (2) has a smaller diameter than that in the working spring unit (1). The annular chamber (2j) of the slave spring unit (2) communicates with the enclosed space (1i) of the working spring unit (1), and the annular chamber (1j) of the working spring unit (1) communicates with the enclosed space (2i) in the slave spring unit (2). The connections (1l; 2l), which discharge into said enclosed spaces (1i; 2i), are position in such a way that communication remains unobstructed by the movement of the piston in the respective unit (1, 2).

Abstract: A method for making hard-pressed wood by compressing a piece of wood to a volume smaller than its original volume. A piece of wood (11; 11a) sufficiently moist or even saturated with water is compressed preferably at room temperature in a direction transverse to the fibres by a relatively rapid compression motion so that substantially the same pressure exists in the transverse direction of the whole compressible piece of wood (11; 11a), whereby water is removed from the faces of the piece of wood (11; 11a) when the compression continues. After having been compressed to its final size, the piece of wood (11; 11a) is kept in the achieved compression volume and heated as a whole so that the materials therein plasticizing under the influence of heat bind the remaining wood material to an integral material, after which the wood still being in its compressed volume is cooled so that the wood solidifies permanently in its compressed form.

In order to prevent circular routing without unnecessarily making nodes inaccessible, (a) transfer-prohibited messages used only for preventing circular routing are made distinguishable from the first-described transfer-prohibited messages relating to a particular destination node, a node sends a corresponding message to the adjacent nodes via which it routes messages to that particular destination node, and (c) each node stores route-specific information on the type of the last transfer-prohibited message of either type received.
