IPC: F24C3/00
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: A log-burner apparatus is for simulating a burning log or piece of wood
wherein at least a portion of the burner aperture of the burner is not defined by and
does not extend through the artificial log material. As such, any adverse effect of the
artificial log material on the efficiency of the burner is reduced. Additionally, the
burner apparatus provides for durability of the burner while still providing a realistic
simulation of flame coming from a log. 
     In one embodiment, a gas burner apparatus including a gas burner structure
with an outer surface including a portion with at least one burner aperture therein.
The apparatus further includes an artificial log having an outer surface, and the
artificial log is disposed at least partially around the gas burner structure. At least a
portion of the outer surface of the burner structure including the burner aperture is
exposed adjacent the outer surface of the artificial log. 
     In another aspect, a method of making a gas burner apparatus. The method
includes the step of providing a burner structure including an outer surface. The
outer surface includes a burner portion having at least one burner aperture therein,
and a second portion adjacent the burner portion. The method also includes the step
of forming an artificial log at least partially around the burner structure such that the
burner surface portion is exposed, and at least some of the second portion is in
communication with the artificial log.

pointer value inserted in a SDH signal based on the
pointer position information contained in the channel
information, each time the channel information is
detected by a channel information detector (31). A
reference data readout section (33) readouts memory
(34) the reference data of the channel specified by the
channel identification information contained in the

Abstract: A vehicle gear transmission includes a switching means (41), a switch mode judging means
(112), and a shift stage identification means (202). A shift mode of the transmission is
switched between an automatic shift mode and a manual shift mode by the switching means
(41). The switch mode judging means (112) senses when the transmission has been
switched from the automatic shift mode to the manual shift mode by the switching means
(41). The shift stage identification means (202) identifies the selected shift stage in the
automatic shift mode at the instant when the automatic shift mode is switched to the manual
shift mode. Further, the shift stage identification means identifies when the selected shift
stage in the automatic shift mode of the transmission is an overdrive shift stage at the
instant when the automatic shift mode was switched to the manual shift mode. In this case,
a shift-down operating means (203) shifts-down the shift stage of the transmission from the
overdrive shift stage at the time of transition from automatic to manual mode when a
vehicle speed judging means (106) judges that the vehicle speed is higher than a
predetermined vehicle speed.

Abstract: It is an object to deliver contents in a different
time from a real time through a digital artificial satellite
and reproduce a program at a correct time, thereby
transmitting information about contents for a long time by
utilizing a limited time or transmitting information about
contents in a small band. There is prepared a dummy packet
including an adaptation field having the value of a dummy
PCR for restoring a real time and time ratio information
of a transfer time and the real time. During receipt, time
information during output is obtained from the dummy PCR
and the time ratio information. The time information during
the output is added as a time stamp to a TS packet and is
stored in a storage device such as a hard disk drive. During
reproduction, data are read from the storage device by
referring to the time stamp added during the recording.
Consequently, the information about the contents
transmitted in a different time base from the real time can
be reproduced in a correct time base.

Abstract: A revolution center line (C) of a roll (R) is made eccentric with respect
to an axis (L) of an elliptic tube (1). The eccentric amount ε is set such that
when the revolution radius of the roll (R) is gradually reduced from a state in
which the roll (R) is not in contact with any part of the elliptic tube (1), the
roll (R) contacts one (4) of the two protuberances (4, 4) which is located on the
opposite side to the eccentric direction generally earlier than any other part
of the eccentric tube (1). The roll (R) is revolved and reciprocally moved in a
direction of the revolution center line (C). At least at one end portion of the
reciprocal movement, the roll (R) is moved towards the revolution center line
(C) side. By repeating this procedure, the roll (R) is press contacted with the
first-mentioned protuberance (4) so as to crush it for elimination.

Abstract: The inventive method relates to microelectronic and consists in the application of
an emission layer to elements of an addressable field-emission electrode with the aid of a
gas-phase synthesis method in a hydrogen flow accompanied by a supply of a
carbonaceous gas. A dielectric backing is made of a high-temperature resistant metal.
The growth rate of the emission layer on the dielectric backing is smaller than the growth
rate of the emission layer on the metallic discrete elements as a result of a selected
process of depositing the carbonaceous emission layer. For producing a display
structure, a control grid is obtained from the metal layer having an emission threshold
higher than a field density at which the cathode emits the required current. The inventive
method enabled to avoid operations of removing the emission layer making it possible to
produce flat displays having high characteristics in addition to high performance and low
cost.
