Abstract: A condensate block for a vertically mounted v-coil heat exchanger (which may function as an evaporator), and an evaporator assembly for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system incorporating the condensate block are provided. The condensate block includes a body. The body is made of a malleable, flame-resistant material. The body defines at least one upward facing surface and opposing outward facing surfaces. The opposing outward facing surfaces are configured at an apex angle that is complimentary to (e.g., equal to, or greater than) a v-coil bend angle defined by the v-coil heat exchanger.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to evaluate a tracheal intubation technique in consideration of various points to remember related to a tracheal intubation treatment. A tracheal intubation training apparatus (10) is provided with a model (14) which has an appearance modeled on the upper body portion of a human body and an evaluation means (15) which evaluates the tracheal intubation technique carried out to the model (14). The model (14) has pressure sensors (46, 57, 62, 66) which measure pressurizing force when a tracheal intubation device (12) touches respective sections (31, 32, 34, 36, 41, 63) modeled on sections from the inside of the mouth through to that of the trachea of a living body, position detection sensors (69, 76) which detect whether the tracheal intubation device (12) exists in the predetermined areas of the tracheal part (63) and an esophageal part (64), and angle sensors (79 to 81) which detect the postures of a head/face part (28A), a neck/chest part (28B), and a lower jaw part (31).

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for the combustion of pulverized fuel as a heating source for melting raw materials for producing glass. The method including the steps of, feeding a regulated controlled flow of a mixture of pulverized fuel and air or gas under pressure for pneumatic transport in at least one distribution means; discharging the mixture of pulverized fuel and air or gas from feeding means toward at least one of said distribution means; regulating in a controlled manner the pulverized fuel-air or gas mixture from the distribution means to each of a plurality of burners in a glass melting region of a glass melting furnace; burning the pulverized fuel by means of the burners in the glass melting region of said glass melting furnace while providing a combustion flame with high thermal efficiency to carry out a controlled heating for melting the glass; and, counteracting erosive and abrasive effects of the pulverized fuel in the glass melting furnace by means of refractory materials.

Abstract: The present invention is referred to a method and an apparatus for feeding a pulverized material. The apparatus comprises fuel feeding means to supply pulverized fuel. Flexible means are coupled between the fuel feeding means and dosing means for the filling of the dosing means. The dosing means are closed and pressurized once that the dosing means have been filled. The pulverized material is discharged from the dosing means while controlling the pressurization during the discharge, in order to provide a continuous and constant discharge of the pulverized fuel. The apparatus includes means for detecting a minimum level or weight of pulverized fuel in the dosing means, and means for depressurizing the dosing means once that the minimum level of the pulverized fuel has been reached.

Abstract: A tool for objectively evaluating the technique of a medical treatment such as an operation or a palpation performed by a doctor or a medical student. A medical technique evaluation system comprises a soft material member having an incision made in itself for simulative suture by a trainee such as a doctor or a medical student and elastic deformation by a force acting on the surroundings of the incision, reflective type photointerruptor for measuring the state values in three orthogonal axes according to the elastic deformation of the soft material member and a technique evaluation device for determining the evaluation score of the technique of the suture and ligation on the basis of the measured values from the reflective type photointerruptor. The technique evaluation device substitutes values based on the measured state values in the orthogonal three axes into a predetermined evaluation function to determine the evaluation score.

Abstract: A control system for controlling the storing, feeding and burning of a pulverized fuel in a glass melting furnace, wherein a series of burners are arranged one in front of the other to carry out combustion and non-combustion cycles during a glass melting process. Pulverized fuel feeding systems are provided, which are filled up and emptied out with the pulverized material for providing a constant flow of the pulverized fuel to each of the burners dunng the glass melting process.
