  • Patent number: 6524097
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for continuation of combustion with an oxy-fuel combustion system when the supply of oxygen is temporally reduced or stopped. Air or oxygen enriched air and fuel are introduced into the device being heated in place of the oxy-fuel mixture to effect combustion and maintain the heating level in the furnace. Water cooling of the furnace gases is used to reduce the volume of exhaust gases when operating in the air or oxygen enriched air mode.

  • Patent number: 4858086
    Abstract: Illuminated decorative displays utilizing fiber optics are presented. The decorative displays are in the form of Christmas season ornaments such as wreaths, Christmas trees, and outdoor lighting series. The simulation of light bulbs is achieved by transmitting light through a solid light conducting medium. In the case of the Christmas tree, a cast solid medium in the form of a coniferous branch is used. In the case of the wreath, either a solid light conductive medium cast in an annular shape, or a hollow annular chamber with perforations filled with optical fiber material is used. In the case of the lighting series, either a long case rod with protrusions, single or bundled group of optical cable is used.
