A burner includes an atomizing chamber, a flame tube in front of the atomizing chamber adapted to direct combusting fuel introduced by the atomizing chamber along an interior of the flame tube, and a controller. The controller is programmed to independently control rate of fuel flow to the atomizing chamber, rate of atomizing air flow to the atomizing chamber, and rate of combustion air to the flame tub. The controller is also programmed to perform operations including regulating, based on output of a gas sensor, at least the rate of combustion air to the flame tube to substantially maintain a first predetermined amount of excess air in the flame tube.

Systems, methods and devices for communicating comprise one or more of a computer-readable media, a computer, a satellite communication device and a mobile device, wherein the at least one of a computer-readable media, a computer, a satellite communication device and a mobile device to perform at least one of supplying data as input communication symbols to an encoder, which converts the input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms having a head function and a tail function, which are different. A transmitter transmits transmittable waveforms over a communication channel, which is received by a receiver, then demodulated and output communication symbols carrying the data to at least one of a user, a secondary computer-readable media, a secondary computer, a secondary satellite communication device and a secondary mobile device.

Methods and systems for communicating

An atomizing burner and corresponding method for turning an atomizing burner from an ON state to an OFF state. The burner has independently controllable flows of atomizing air, combustion air, and fuel flow, the burner in the ON state having flow values of burner parameters including flow of atomizing air, flow of combustion air, and fuel flow. The method includes: changing, in response to an OFF instruction, flow of at least one of the flow of atomizing air, combustion air and/or fuel to a lower non-zero value; first discontinuing, after a first period of time since the changing, flow of fuel and flow of atomizing air; maintaining, for a second period of time since the first period of time, flow of combustion air; second discontinuing, after the maintaining, flow of combustion air; wherein the maintaining prevents buildup of excess heat inside the burner during the transition to the OFF state.

Methods and systems for transmitting and receiving data using non-periodic functions

A burner with a flame detector is provided. An atomizing chamber has an aperture. A flame tube is in front of the atomizing chamber, adapted to direct combusting fuel introduced by the atomizing chamber along an interior of the flame tube. A photodiode circuit is located behind the atomizing chamber. A filter is adapted to filter out signals from the photodiode outside of a predetermined bandwidth. Light from combusting fuel in the flame tube reaches the photodiode through the aperture. The output of the filter indicates the presence or absence of the flame in the flame tube based on at least whether enough light received and converted by the photodiode has a flicker rate within the predetermined bandwidth.

System and method for detecting flame within a burner

One exemplary embodiment can describe a method for communicating. This can include identifying a set of nonlinear functions used to generate waveforms; generating, a plurality of waveforms having substantially identical amplitudes and substantially identical phases, and designating this plurality of waveforms as a plurality of reference signals; encoding at least one bit of traffic data in an attribute of a waveform; selecting a reference symbol ('refbol') that encodes the at least one bit of traffic data; transmitting the refbol as a waveform from a transmitter; receiving the refbol at a receiver; and decoding the refbol.

Communication techniques exploiting spiral-based waveform design flexibility

A software defined radio is disclosed. The software defined radio may utilize a method for encoding a bit stream into non-periodic spiral-based symbol waveforms for transmission and reception. The method includes transmitting a signal constructed from one or more non-periodic modulation sets residing on a memory system of the software defined radio, where each modulation set corresponds to a symbol alphabet and provides non-periodic symbol waveforms corresponding to symbol bit sequences segmented by a microprocessor according to alphabet size. The method also includes receiving the signal constructed from one or more spiral modulation sets, wherein the signal from one or more spiral modulation sets are filtered and then fed to an analog to digital converter, where the signal constructed from the one or more spiral modulation sets is digitized and are fed to the microprocessor. A non-transitory computer storage media may also execute the method.

Methods and systems for communicating are disclosed. A method includes obtaining input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols, converting input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and transmitting transmittable waveforms over a communication channel. Another method includes receiving transmittable waveforms constructed using non-periodic functions and transmitted over a communication channel, and demodulating transmittable waveforms. A system includes a modulator adapted to obtain input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols and adapted to convert input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and a transmitter or transceiver adapted to transmit transmittable waveforms over a communication channel. Another system includes a receiver or transceiver adapted to receive transmittable waveforms transmitted over a communication channel and constructed using non-periodic functions, and a demodulator adapted to demodulate transmittable waveforms.
