The invention is a drinking vessel that keeps coffee or other hot beverages hot, yet readily drinkable. The basic design of the invention is an inner beverage vessel and an outer beverage chamber with an insulator chamber of air between them. There is a small hole in the bottom of the inner beverage vessel which allows the contents to flow into the outer beverage chamber. When the drinker tips the cup to drink, beverage flows from the inner beverage vessel to the outer beverage surrounding the cup and pours out of a mouthpiece. The amount of liquid that fills the outer beverage chamber quickly cools enough to drink, but still remains warm. The insulator chamber keeps the beverage in the inner beverage vessel hot for a longer period of time. The lid for the cup is sealed to keep the contents warm but has a small pinhole to eliminate the build-up of a vacuum.

This invention relates to the vapor-phase oxidation of hydrocarbons by passing a gaseous mixture comprising of a molecular oxygen-containing gas and hydrocarbons which may contain substituents to a fixed bed of catalyst and provides a process for vapor-phase oxidation to be effected by passing a gaseous mixture of raw materials to a fixed bed of catalyst in which the void ratio of the catalyst layers increases by stages in one step or more from upstream downward in the flow of the gaseous mixture of raw materials. For example, the process can oxidize in vapor phase such hydrocarbons as naphthalene, xylene, benzene, toluene, durene, butene, acenaphthene, anthracene, indene and their derivatives in high yields with high productivity. Moreover, the process can prepare phthalic anhydride in high yields with high productivity by the vapor-phase oxidation of naphthalene or ortho-xylene.

The heart of the “New Home Cooling Cycle” is a concrete heat exchanger located under the home. The heat exchanger is constructed of concrete and PVC piping. There are two flow passes. Each is ninety degrees from the other. On a hot sunny day, heat absorbed by air inside the home is routed through one pass of the heat exchanger where the heat is removed by absorption into the concrete, thus removing heat from the home. Air is circulated using a small electric blower. Air leaving the heat exchanger is cool and is returned to the home ready to absorb heat again. The recycled air absorbs additional heat and the cycle is repeated through the heat exchanger. Regeneration of the heat exchanger is accomplished at night. Cool night air is blown, using a small electric blower, through the heat exchanger second pass, ninety degrees to the absorbing pass. This cooling air absorbs heat from the heat exchanger and exhausts it back to the night air. The two heat exchanger passes are totally isolated to prevent moisture from entering the house circuit. This same cycle is used during winter. On a sunny winter day, solar heat and heat from a wood burning fireplace is absorbed by air inside the home and is routed through the heat exchanger as in the summer cooling cycle. Heat is removed and stored in the heat exchanger and cooled air is returned to the home where the cycle repeats. At night, heat stored in the heat exchanger is routed into the home. During winter, there is no regeneration required for the heat exchanger. Usage of refrigerated air conditioning is radically reduced. In some United States climates, it may be possible to eliminate refrigerated air conditioning.

An exhaust gas denitrizer removes nitrogen oxides from rejoined exhaust gas using a denitrification reactor after supplying ammonia gas to the rejoined exhaust gas made up of main exhaust gas cooled by a fuel economizer by flowing through a main duct and bypass exhaust gas maintained at high temperature by flowing through a bypass duct adapted to bypass the fuel economizer.
