Abstract: An off-gas flare system for disposing of a waste gas stream containing BTEX and VOC contaminants, and for safely handling slugs of excess liquids entrained in the waste gas stream. The flare system includes a flare stack, an enclosed steam tank disposed within the flare stack for receiving the waste gas stream and vaporizing any liquids in the waste gas stream into vapors, and an enclosed liquid tank disposed below the steam tank and in fluid communication with the steam tank for receiving the heated waste gas and liquid vapors and for temporarily containing any excess non-vaporized liquids. The flare also includes a waste gas burner disposed in the flare stack adjacent the steam tank and in fluid communication with the liquid tank, and a continuous means for igniting the waste gas burner.

Abstract: A combustion air supply apparatus 9 of alternating heat exchange type supplies combustion air and discharges combustion exhaust gas at a flow velocity of 80 to 200 m/sec. A burner assembly 4 is configured in such a manner that low-caloric fuel gas is pre-heated with heat of pre-combusting high-caloric fuel gas before the low-caloric fuel gas reaches a mixing starting space CA in the combustion chamber where the pre-combusting high-caloric fuel gas and the low-caloric fuel gas come to burn together in a full scale in the mixing starting space CA. When an air amount of the combustion air supplied through the high-temperature air supply ports of the plurality of fuel gas combustion apparatuses is defined as Q1 and an air amount of the pre-combustion air to be mixed with the high-caloric fuel gas, supplied from the fuel gas combustion apparatuses, is defined as Q2, a total air amount (Q1+Q2) is 1.02 to 1.10 times more than a theoretical air amount QS required for combustion, and a ratio of Q2/(Q1+Q2) is 0.

Abstract: A lighting fixture lighter includes a frame body including a light transmitting window, a flame generator, and an illumination fixture built-in with the lighter for generating illumination light for illumination purpose. The illumination fixture includes a power source, a light source unit supported within a light compartment and aligning with the light transmitting window, and a light button to activate the light source unit for generating an illumination light, so that the illumination light is emitted out of the light transmitting window for illumination purpose. In order to enhance the light intensity of the light source unit, a light reflector is further provided within the light compartment for reflecting the illumination light from the light source unit, such that the lighter not only provides the traditional ignition function, but also provides an added on illumination function in the single compact lighter housing.

Abstract: An ultralight stove comprises a fuel reservoir having a plurality of jet holes in the top through which vaporized fuel escapes and burns, a portion of which is directed toward a heat conducting heat transfer plug, heat from which being conducted through the heat transfer plug to the reservoir where it heats fuel in the reservoir causing increased fuel vaporization that pressurizes the reservoir which in turn causing pressurized fuel to escape through the jet holes resulting in increased heat to the heat transfer plug, the cycle continuing until a fuel consumption and temperature equilibrium is obtained where the heat transfer plug and reservoir reach maximum operating temperatures. An external fuel absorber on the reservoir top receives fuel which when ignited initially heats the heat transfer plug to initiate stove operation.

Abstract: A portable, self-contained stove includes (i) a container; and (ii) an adjustable cooking platform which selectively fits into storage and cooking positions with respect to the container. The cooking platform is compressible and extendible and is selectively placed within the container, thereby avoiding the loss of the platform and conserving space within the container.

Abstract: A portable, self-contained stove system includes (i) a container; and (ii) a platform which selectively fits into storage and cooking positions with respect to the container. The platform is configured to be selectively mounted on a container and to selectively support a cooking surface thereon. Platforms are disclosed which are specially designed to separate the flow path of fire out of the container from that of oxygen flowing into the container. Platforms are also disclosed which are adjustable such that they can be selectively disposed within a container before and/or after use.

Abstract: A burner including a storage tank, a gas outflow means, a pressure regulating means, a control means, a hood, a selectively replaceable gas ejecting base, a gas diffusion burner head and/or a firing means. When in use, a control knob is firstly turned so that fuel gas flows along a gas path to escape from the gas diffusion burner head and/or the firing means. Then a push-button is pressed so that a piezo-electric device generates electrostatic sparks to ignite fuel gas escaped from the gas diffusion burner head and/or the firing means. The intensity of the fire may be adjusted by means of the control means. A handle is also provided to facilitate carrying.

Abstract: A fuel control mechanism for a liquid fuel burner includes a fuel regulating valve which is responsive to flow of liquid fuel through a fuel feed tube for movement between a starting position and a running position. When a fuel control valve for the burner is opened, flow of liquid fuel through the fuel feed tube moves the fuel regulating valve to a starting position in which the fuel regulating valve restricts flow of fuel through a fuel inlet. Air is thereby drawn through an air inlet and mixes with the fuel. After the burner is started and liquid fuel is vaporized within the generator, flow of fuel through the fuel feed tube slows, and the fuel regulating valve falls by virtue of its weight to the running position in which the fuel regulating valve does not restrict flow of fuel through the fuel inlet. Air flow through the air inlet is thereby discontinued, and only liquid fuel flows through the fuel feed tube.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric (31) having an annular shape in the horizontal cross-sectional view is put inside of a pressure-resistant wall (11) of a gas cylinder (2) adapted to contain liquefied petroleum gas (19). An outer surface (34) of the nonwoven fabric (31) is kept in contact with an upper portion of an inner surface (20) of the pressure-resistant wall (11). A lower section (33) of the nonwoven fabric (31) is adapted to suck up the liquefied petroleum gas (19) in its liquid phase portion (25) owing to capillary action, so that the sucked up liquefied gas can be brought into contact with the upper portion of the inner surface (20) of the pressure-resistant wall (11).

Abstract: A complimentary trench gate metal-oxide semiconductor transistor is disclosed along with a resulting product. The process for forming the transistor comprises forming a trench within the semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate is doped to a first relative type. A layer doped to a second relative type is applied about the surface of the trench. An insulating layer is then formed within the trench upon said first layer. A region of gate material is formed within the trench upon said insulating layer. Source and drain regions are formed by doping first and second regions adjacent the trench to the opposite relative polarity of the substrate. Segments of the first and second regions are then doped to the same relative polarity as the substrate, the segments being isolated from the substrate by remaining portions of the first and second doped regions.
