Abstract: Provided is a solid fuel burner (60) suitable for controlling a flame to be formed by combustion of fuel ejected from the burner (60) and a temperature distribution in a furnace, a combustion apparatus using the solid fuel burner (60), and a method of operating the combustion apparatus. Providing in the fuel nozzle (10) a plurality of gas ejection nozzles (81), (82) and a restriction (obstacle) (19) downstream thereof, and ejecting a relatively large amount of gas from a portion of the gas ejection nozzles (81) provides a circumferential distribution in fuel concentration. Further, having the restriction (obstacle) (19) on a downstream side increases a deviation in fuel concentration. Providing a fuel concentration deviation in the circumferential direction makes it possible to change the forming position of a flame.

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly reliable pulverized coal boiler that ensures suppression of a rise in flame temperature caused during the combustion of an unburnt gas in a furnace when combustion air is supplied from after-air ports so as to reduce the concentration of thermal NOx generated during the combustion.

Abstract: Tertiary nozzle of port for gas injection into furnace includes a contracted flow producing channel provided obliquely toward central axis from the upstream side of gas flow so that the gas flow has a velocity component heading from the outer circumferential side of the port toward the central axis and a velocity component heading along the central axis toward the interior of the furnace, and including louver disposed for guiding so that the gas flows along the surface of throat wall of enlarged pipe configuration wherein the gas channel is enlarged at a furnace wall opening disposed at an outlet area of the contracted flow producing channel.

Abstract: A mobile phone terminal device checks, in a Manchester determiner, whether or not demodulated data satisfies a predetermined condition for decision exploiting a feature proper to the Manchester code. The Manchester determiner generates a decision signal representing the state of allowance or inhibition, conforming to the decision, and, responsive to the state of allowance of the decision signal. The Manchester determiner allows the demodulated data stored in a buffer to be output. The decision signal is transferred from the determiner to a radio frequency unit and a demodulator. The operation of the radio frequency unit and the demodulator is halted responsive to the state of inhibition of the decision signal.
