Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a consolidated work or article may include the consolidation of the four canonical Gospels of Luke, Matthew, John, and Mark whereby selections of original text may be compared, separated, and linked to create a new paragraph of amalgamated text, each word thereof having source indicia to identify the Gospel source resulting in a coalescent compilation of the four canonical Gospels into a single work. A coalescent compilation may include unique paragraphs and text from each of the four Gospels and may even include all of the unique text from each of the four canonical Gospels.

Abstract: Slip segments with a friction medium are used to anchor a downhole tool in a well. Each slip segment has a slip segment body made of a drillable material. A friction medium is applied to the outer surface of the slip segment body so that the outer surface of the slip segment has an increased holding capability in the well.

Abstract: An improved mass fuel combustion system can be designed in a variety of embodiments and alternatives, including designs which include independent gas feeds, independent gas pulsing, independently controllable vibration systems and an overall control system which can coordinate a host of parameters for optimal combustion. One design includes overlapping grate elements (50) through which combustion gas is introduced and may include apertures to introduce a pulsed mix gas as well as a separate temperature control gas. Efficient poppet designs (44) can be used to provide an economical and efficient combustion system.

Abstract: A grate assembly consisting of a means for receiving a mass fuel and combusting the mass fuel on a surface with the addition of a combustion gas, and discharging the remaining residue. A separate means for injection of a mix gas at multiple points along the surface where combustion is occurring. The mix gas enhancing combustion by aiding in the mixing, drying and migration of the mass fuel during the combustion process. Multiple injection means for the introduction of the mix gas along the surface where combustion is occurring and a means for controlling the rate of introduction of the gas at each point. Separate treatment zones also being defined along the surface where combustion is occurring and a means for introduction of combustion gas within each zone and a means for controlling the rate of introduction of combustion gas to each zone.

Abstract: A stationary, stepped, downwardly inclined incinerator grate assembly includes independent combustion control at each step through the provision of laterally disposed, perforated support tubes each joined to an inclined grate plate, likewise having openings therethrough. Valve devices associated with each support tube allow control of the volume of a mix gas which impinges upon a deposit of a feed material on the grate plates while damper elements in plenum chambers communicating with the apertured grate plates are controllable to regulate the admission of combustion air to the feed material.
