Filed:

Jun 13, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/048022

Inventors:

Charles A. von Roesgen - Westfield NJ

Assignee:

Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H05K 1306

US Classification:

29 33M

Abstract:

The construction of complex electrical circuits is simplified by performing all interconnections on one side of a component-receiving board, using slotted beam insulation-piercing connectors. Boards with or without metallization patterns are adaptable to the basic approach. Using boards with an X-Y pattern of holes arranged in columns, slotted beam connector elements are readily pressed into one side; and corresponding circuit elements such as dual-in-line packs plugged from the other side into the connector elements. The system is enhanced by a tool which feeds insulated conductor from a source and into selected slotted beams. The tool includes a retractable knife or a retractable cutter with which a given wire run may be terminated. For the manual mode, a sequence of wiring is indicated to an operator by stepping of a laser beam which illuminates successive slotted beams to be connected.

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for treating waste material in a counterflow furnace wherein the material is introduced at one end thereof and the processed material is discharged from the other end, while air is simultaneously introduced thereto and the gases of combustion are caused to flow in counter-current direction with respect to the material being processed and are exhausted at the first end of the furnace, and wherein the furnace has a natural tendency to form zones of processing including sequentially from the first end of the furnace, a drying zone, a charring and volatile burning zone, a fixed carbon burning zone and an ash cooling zone, the method comprising the steps of bleeding secondary exhaust gases from the middle of the furnace substantially between the fixed carbon burning zone and the charring and volatile burning zone, and adding air to the furnace in the charring and volatile burning zone. According to one aspect of the invention the secondary exhaust gases are passed in heat exchange relationship with respect to the air being added to the furnace.

Nichols Engineering & Research Corporation - Belle Mead NJ

International Classification:

F23G 706
F23J 1500

US Classification:

110208

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for treating off-gas from a furnace for burning organic material in an oxygen deficient atmosphere by passing the hot exhaust gases from the furnace ladened with combustible and noncombustible organic material to a cleaning device, and thence passing the gases to a secondary furnace for combustion therein, and while in the cleaning device removing from the gas therein noncombustible material which would otherwise still be particulate matter in the exhaust from the secondary furnace. In another form of the invention, the exhaust gas from the furnace is passed to a burner and heat exchanger device having an inlet portion for heating the incoming gases, a combustion portion with air inlets for supporting combustion therein, and an outlet portion for cooling the gases, and thereafter the gases are passed to a quenching system.

International Classification:

F23G 504

US Classification:

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for incinerating waste material in a multiple hearth furnace having a plurality of vertically spaced hearths wherein waste material is introduced to the furnace at the top thereof and moves downwardly in a generally serpentine fashion moving alternately inwardly and outwardly across the hearths and is discharged at the bottom of the furnace, and including the steps of introducing towards the lowermost hearth thereof air in a quantity less than that theoretically required for complete combustion of the material being processed, thereafter at successively higher hearths ascertaining the temperature at each hearth and adding air thereto in quantities only sufficient to support combustion thereon, and on each hearth in the middle portion of the furnace adding only enough air to each hearth so as to maintain the temperature on that hearth under a maximum predetermined limit, and on the hearths towards the top of the furnace reducing the quantity of air added, and thence discharging the exhaust gases at the top of the furnace.

International Classification:

H04L 708

US Classification:

178 695R

Abstract:

A digital data communication system typically includes arrangements for achieving synchronization of the digital data processed by the system. However, known synchronizing arrangements are usually inefficient with respect to the time required to achieve bit synchronization. To shorten the time required for synchronization of two bit streams, an improved synchronizer including a sequential store, a plurality of comparators, a circulating memory having a plurality of memory registers, and a control circuit is disclosed. A first bit stream is extended through the sequential store into respective first inputs of the plurality of comparators. Each bit of a second bit stream jointly feeds all respective second inputs of the comparators. Using negative logic, each comparator output is NANDed with a first memory register output and fed into a second register input. When all but one of the memory register outputs are set, synchronization is achieved.
