Abstract: A process for incinerating combustible materials including the steps of: delivering combustible material and inlet gases to a primary combustion chamber, the inlet gases having an oxygen content of at least 50 vol %; burning the combustible material with the oxygen of the inlet gases in the primary combustion chamber producing flue gases and solid particulates as thermal decomposition products of the burnt combustible material; passing the flue gases and particulates to a secondary combustion chamber where further combustion occurs; cooling the flue gases exiting the secondary combustion chamber; returning a portion of the cooled flue gases to at least one of the combustion chambers where the cooled gases moderate the temperature in the at least one chamber; and passing the remaining portion of cooled flue gases on to a flue gas purification system where pollutants in the flue gases and particulates are substantially converted to benign compounds or removed entirely before the flue gases are emitted into the

Abstract: In a fuel injection controlled internal combustion engine, a magnetic trigger device provides the source of electrical timing signals for operating the injectors. A single rotating magnet has its magnetic field extended to an effective angular radiation area substantially greater than the angular radiation area of the magnet alone. A pair of magnetizable members are positioned on either side of the path of a rotating magnet for developing an enlarged magnetic field for actuating a single reed switch. The reed switch connects a source of power to a pair of signal lines wherein one line contains an inverter, whereby, the signal on one line is the complement of the signal on the other line.
