  • Apparatus and method for the detection and elimination of circular routed SS7 global title translated messages in a telecommunications network
    Patent number: 5862129
    Abstract: A method (100, 700, 800) for detecting and eliminating circular routed messages in a telecommunications network includes the steps of receiving a message, and determining a derived destination point code for the received message (102). The derived destination point code is then compared with an originating point code in the message (108). A circular routed message is detected if the derived destination point code is the same as the originating point code. This comparison may be disabled and instead the routing information for routing the message indicated by the derived destination code may be compared with the originating point code (706). Alternatively, the network identifiers indicated by the derived destination point code and the originating point code are compared (806).

  • Low NOX cogeneration process
    Patent number: 4811555
    Abstract: A process for low NOX cogeneration to produce electricity and heat which involves combusting fuel to produce a gaseous stream of combustion products, passing the gaseous stream through a turbine to generate electricity, and to produce a gaseous exhaust stream, adding additional fuel to the exhaust stream, to provide a combustible gas stream having fuel in excess of the oxygen in the combustible gas stream, combusting the combustible gas stream in a reducing atmosphere to produce a heated oxygen-depleted gaseous stream, converting at least a portion of the heat in the oxygen depleted stream into steam, adding air to the oxygen-depleted stream to produce a stoichiometric excess of oxygen in the resultant stream relative to fuel present in the resultant stream, passing the resultant stream over an oxidizing catalyst to produce an oxidized gaseous stream, removing heat from the oxidized stream, and venting the resultant cooled stream. An apparatus system for carrying out this process is also provided.
