A first heat-treating method involves monitoring at least one thermal efficiency parameter associated with an irradiance system configured to produce an irradiance flash incident on a surface of a workpiece, and automatically updating control information used by the irradiance system to produce the irradiance flash, in response to the monitoring of the thermal efficiency parameter. A second method involves predicting a heating effect of an irradiance flash to be incident upon a surface of a workpiece, in response to a measurement of a heating parameter of the surface, and pre-adjusting the irradiance flash, in response to the predicted heating effect. A third method involves measuring a temperature of a surface of a workpiece during an initial portion of an irradiance flash incident on the surface, and controlling a power of a remaining portion of the irradiance flash, in response to the temperature.

The present invention is an air-staged low NO_x burner for firing a gaseous fuel. The burner fires three stages, with the first stage of combustion taking place substantially within a burner cup section of a refractory baffle, the second stage of combustion taking place adjacent to the baffle and downstream of the baffle, and the third stage of combustion within a furnace. The flow of main combustion air adjacent to the baffle creates a negative pressure zone adjacent to the baffle. The present invention is also a method for low NO_x staged combustion.

Apparatus for therapeutic or cosmetic photo-treatment comprises a flash lamp and a lamp operating circuit. The lamp is cooled by water in contact with the lamp which acts as an infra-red filter to reduce skin burning. Light from the lamp reaches the skin through a light guide which has a convex curved end to focus the light and to press away haemoglobin in the target area or has a concave end to reduce pressure on the skin depending on the desired treatment. Relatively long and low power square shaped power pulses drive the lamp to produce light output pulses adapted to the relaxation time of the target structure to maximize the heating of the target while minimizing heating of the skin surface. Target structures may be blood vessels or hair follicles. Automatic detection of a glass filter may be provided.

The invention discloses a control device and method for an electric car driving and braking system. The device comprises a motor controller, a three-phase motor, a diode, a rectifying circuit, a super capacitor, a power battery, a thyristor triggering circuit, an inductor and a relay. In driving, when the terminal voltage of the super capacitor is higher than the voltage between an audion base electrode and a collector electrode, the relay is switched on, and the super capacitor and the power battery together drive the motor to rotate; when the terminal voltage of the super capacitor is lower than the voltage between the audion base electrode and the collector electrode, the relay is switched off, and at this moment, only the power battery conducts separate drive; and in braking, three-phase power of the motor passes through the inductor and directly charges the super capacitor through the rectifying circuit which is composed of a thyristor and the diode. In driving, the device can reduce energy output of the power battery and prevent discharge of the super capacitor when the voltage is low, and in braking, by adoption of the rectifying circuit with the thyristor, consumption of recovered energy can be reduced.

A method for washing and separating pieces of plastics material from contaminating material that also includes metal elements, comprises the steps of: supplying, to a washing container, a washing fluid, having a first specific weight value , and the pieces of plastics material joined to the contaminating material; driving, in the washing container, a stirring arrangement provided with blades for generating in the washing fluid a turbulent stirring action to remove from the plastics material, through mechanical action, the part of contaminating material adhering thereto. The tilt of the blades and the rotation speed of the stirring arrangement are chosen carefully to generate a thrusting action upwards so as to maintain in a floating condition the plastics material with a specific weight that is greater than the specific weight of the fluid; the force of the thrusting action is limited to a value that is such as not to hinder the downward precipitation of the contaminating metal elements that have a further specific weight value that is greater than the aforesaid second value. The plastics material is retained inside the container for sufficient time to obtain a desired degree of purity and decontamination for the plastics material, after which it is evacuated by controlled overflow. The heavy contaminating material, in particular the metal elements that accumulate on the bottom, are periodically evacuated by a device of valve or pump type. The apparatus for implementing the aforesaid method is also disclosed.
