Abstract: The invention relates to a method of using a suspension smelting furnace and to a suspension smelting furnace and to a concentrate burner (4). The concentrate burner (4) comprises a first gas supply device (12) for feeding a first gas (5) into the reaction shaft (2) and a second gas supply device (18) for feeding a second gas (16) into the reaction shaft (2). The first gas supply device (12) comprises a first annular discharge opening (14), which which is arranged concentrically with the mouth (8) of a feeder pipe (7), so that the first annular discharge opening (14) surrounds the feeder pipe (7). The second gas supply device (18) comprises a second annular discharge opening (17), which is arranged concentrically with the mouth (8) of the feeder pipe (7), so that the second annular discharge opening (17) surrounds the feeder pipe (7) opening (14).

Abstract: The invention provides a method and an arrangement which allow avoidance of significant degradation in performance of a broadband system receiver or even blocking of the receiver, caused by simultaneous use of the same frequency or simultaneous use of adjacent frequencies by a narrowband and a broadband communications systems, or background noise peaks produced by a plurality of various man-made interference signals. In one invention embodiment, the energy of the received signal is determined in narrower sub-bands, the average of the sub-band signal energies is calculated, the energies of the sub-band signals are compared with said average and if any of the sub-band signal energies exceeds the average by a predetermined threshold value, interference is cancelled by a tunable band-stop filter.

Abstract: This invention relates to equipment for the feed of pulverous material to a concentrate burner of a suspension-melting furnace, so that the feed of solid finely divided material into the furnace is distributed evenly in the concentrate burner. According to the invention, a vibrating feeder is located between the raw material conveyor and the actual burner, and the concentrate burner feed pipes are equipped with blades for distributing the material.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a method and an arrangement which allow to avoid significant degradation in performance of a broadband system receiver or even blocking of the receiver, caused by simultaneous use of the same frequency or simultaneous use of adjacent frequencies by a narrowband and a broadband communications systems, or background noise peaks produced by a plurality of various man-made interference signals. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the energy of the received signal is determined in narrower sub-bands (400), the average of the sub-band signal energies is calculated (402), the energies of the sub-band signals are compared with said average (404) and if any of the sub-band signal energies exceeds the average by a predetermined threshold value, interference is cancelled by a tunable band-stop filter (406 to 408).
