Abstract: An oxygen fueled integrated pollutant removal and combustion system includes a combustion system and an integrated pollutant removal system. The combustion system includes a furnace having at least one burner that is configured to substantially prevent the introduction of air. An oxygen supply supplies oxygen at a predetermine purity greater than 21 percent and a carbon based fuel supply supplies a carbon based fuel. Oxygen and fuel are fed into the furnace in controlled proportion to each other and combustion is controlled to produce a flame temperature in excess The integrated. pollutant removal system includes at least one direct contact heat exchanger for bringing the flue gas into intimated contact with a cooling liquid to produce a pollutant-laden liquid stream and a stripped flue gas stream and at least one compressor for receiving and compressing the stripped flue gas stream.

Abstract: An oxygen fueled integrated pollutant removal and combustion system includes a combustion system and an integrated pollutant removal system. The combustion system includes a furnace having at least one burner that is configured to substantially prevent the introduction of air. An oxygen supply supplies oxygen at a predetermine purity greater than 21 percent and a carbon based fuel supply supplies a carbon based fuel. Oxygen and fuel are fed into the furnace in controlled proportion to each other and combustion is controlled to produce a flame temperature in excess of 3000 degrees F. and a flue gas stream containing CO2 and other gases. The flue gas stream is substantially void of non-fuel borne nitrogen containing combustion produced gaseous compounds.

Abstract: An educational device employing a game situation to teach student nurses or graduate nurses is disclosed. The educational device is generally comprised of a playing board having a plurality of contiguous areas extending around the perimeter of the board, and also having additional areas in the central region of the board. Most of the contiguous areas are grouped into three groups, designated "acute", "intermediate", and "convalescence". The educational device also includes two decks of cards, one relating to admission onto the playing board, and the other relating to play on the playing board. All of the cards have printed on one side thereof a question relating to the medical field, together with several alternative answers, only one of which is correct. The other side of each card reveals the correct answer, and also has printed thereon instructions as to what to do in the case of a correct answer, and what to do in case of an incorrect answer.
