Abstract: A soldering iron (1) comprises a soldering head (4) connected to a handle (2). A cylindrical catalytic element (20) located in a combustion chamber (8) converts gas to heat for heating a soldering tip (15). An electrode (40) located within the catalytic element (20) initially ignites a fuel gas/air mixture to burn in a flame (42) within the catalytic element (20) for raising the temperature of a downstream portion (50) of the catalytic element (20) to its ignition temperature. Heat from the downstream portion (50) raises an upstream portion (51) of the catalytic element (20) upstream of the flame (42) to its ignition temperature, which then commences to convert the fuel gas/air mixture to heat. This starves the flame (42) of fuel gas/air mixture, thus extinguishing the flame (42) so that the catalytic element (20) continues to convert fuel gas/air mixture to heat in a catalytic reaction.

Abstract: A method for denitration of combustion exhaust gas suitable for countermeasure for a low temperature exhaust gas produced at a start-up of a combustion device or for denitration of a low temperature part of the exhaust gas. The denitration method, in which denitration is performed by passing a combustion exhaust gas through an ammonia reduction denitration apparatus, comprises the steps of installing a bypass provided with a low temperature denitration apparatus and disposed on the downstream side of the ammonia reduction denitration apparatus in an exhaust gas flow passage, causing the low temperature denitration apparatus to perform denitration by passing the exhaust gas through the bypass when an exhaust gas temperature is low, causing the ammonia reduction denitration apparatus to perform denitration at a point of time when the ammonia reduction denitration apparatus comes to function fully, and regenerating a catalyst of the low temperature denitration apparatus while the bypass is closed. Further, the denitration method can perform denitration and regeneration of the catalyst by successively switching between low temperature denitration apparatuses of more than one systems which are installed in parallel in an area where a temperature of the exhaust gas in the exhaust gas flow passage ranges from room temperature to 200  DEG C.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil d'atténuation des effets de la distorsion d'intermodulation dans les systèmes de transmission avec accès multiple par répartition en fréquence (AMRF). Selon une réalisation, on établit un niveau de puissance de transmission efficace pour chaque signal de communication à transmettre, et l'on alloue les signaux à des canaux de fréquence de façon à parvenir à une décroissance douce des niveaux de puissance de transmission sur des canaux de fréquence contigus. Cette décroissance douce de la puissance sur les canaux de fréquence minimise la possibilité de génération, par deux signaux à puissance élevée, d'une distorsion d'intermodulation suffisante pour interrompre la transmission d'un signal immédiatement adjacent de faible puissance. Selon une autre réalisation de l'invention, on alloue les signaux de communication de telle sorte que les signaux de puissance élevée sont positionnés à proximité du centre d'une bande de fréquence, les signaux de faible puissance étant eux positionnés à proximité des extrémités de la bande de fréquence. On parvient de cette manière à minimiser la distorsion d'intermodulation entre les bandes de fréquence dans un système de communication à bandes multiples.
