Abstract: The invention relates to a solid fuel stove comprising a combustion chamber (12) for containing combustion fuel and a blower assembly (50) configured to provide airflow entering the combustion chamber in operating condition. When guiding means (40) establish airflow entering the combustion chamber substantially in a downwardly direction the combustion process of the stove is very clean and efficient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (100, 304) for determining a subset of disorders of a set of disorders for an observed symptom of a set of symptoms, the system comprising: a modeler (102) for modeling qualitative relationships between disorders of the set of disorders and symptoms of the set of symptoms as a causal graph; an orderer (104) for partially ordering the qualitative relationships; a determiner (106) for using the observed symptom to determine the subset of disorders for the observed symptom based upon the partial ordering of the qualitative relationships.

Abstract: The present invention is a system, apparatus, and method for current MB-OFDM systems to design a time-domain sync sequence regarding DAA that (1) minimizes change to the current sync sequence, and (2) maintains the robustness of synchronization. Two tone-notching embodiments are provided for sync sequence design in the preamble when OFDM systems require detect-and-avoid (DAA) ability. The receiver needn't be aware of the change of sync sequence at the transmitter and can still use the original sync sequence. The design can be used in both DAA and non-DAA transmission modes.
