  • System and method for providing available-channel user selectivity
    Patent number: 8448205
    Abstract: Alternative-channel user selectivity is provided when a user tunes to a broadcast channel for which the desired broadcast station corresponding to such broadcast channel has been reassigned. In one embodiment, after tuning to broadcast channel in response to a user input, it may first be determined if in fact the desired broadcast station corresponding to the tuned broadcast channel has been reassigned. If so, one or more alternative broadcast channels corresponding to the desired broadcast station may be identified, and an alternative channel availability indicator may then be displayed to the user to provide alternative-channel user selectivity.

  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CLEANING BAGHOUSE FILTERS
    Publication number: 20130092028
    Abstract: A device and method for cleaning baghouse filters using a shock wave vortex is disclosed. In one embodiment, high pressure fluid enters the housing of the device through an inlet tube in axial alignment with a resonance chamber within the housing. The high pressure fluid enters and exits a resonance chamber causing a collision with the fluid from the inlet tube to generate a shock wave. The shock wave is directed downward by the housing through the lower opening of the housing and towards a baghouse filter as a ring-shaped shock wave vortex. The ring-shaped shock wave vortex concentrates cleaning energy along the side material of the baghouse filter.
