            <link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8109760.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[A torch, and ignitor or gas valve interlock located on the same part which the operator moves to activate the torch, which is overcome by the operator by providing a tangential rolling force to the interlock as the finger is seated on a downwardly actuated ignitor. The torch ignitor and gas valve interlock according to the present invention requires a skilled, compound motion easily provided by an adult and unlikely to be imposed by accidental gross motions, without diminishing or interfering with the operator's ability to easily operate the ignitor.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A combustion system is operated with reference to compliant values of a governmentally regulated exhaust emission parameter. If an alarm condition is detected during an ordinary mode of operation, the combustion system is shifted into an assured compliance mode of operation. The shift to the assured compliance mode is made while continuing to operate the combustion system without a shut-down interruption.]]></description>

            <link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8109758.html</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Disclosed is a method for detecting a combustion state of a boiler, and more particularly to a boiler and a method capable of exactly detecting an abnormal combustion state of a gas boiler using an air pressure sensor and a flame detection unit, thereby improving efficiency of the boiler. The method comprises the steps of (S1) supplying air to a burner through a fan, (S2) detecting whether an optimum amount of air is supplied through step (S1) by using the air pressure sensor, (S3) continuously detecting a status of a flame through the flame detection unit if the flame is made by an ignition part, (S4) converting a size of the flame into a corresponding voltage value, inputting the voltage value into a microcomputer, and comparing the voltage value with a preset target voltage value, (S5) stopping a combustion process if the microcomputer determines that the air pressure sensor erroneously operates based on a fact that a difference value between the voltage value and the preset target voltage value exceeds a reference value, and (S6) displaying an error message indicating an abnormal combustion state if the microcomputer determines that the air pressure sensor erroneously operates.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A passive noise attenuation device and system is provided having a reticulated open-cell porous structure configured to acts as a passive control device in order to mitigate combustion noise and instability problems in combustion systems. A porous inert media structure is placed downstream of the reaction zone of a combustion chamber to dissipate noise and/or instability generated upstream in the flame. The porous inert media also limits and/or disintegrates vortical structures in the flame to produce a homogeneous flow field to facilitate distributed reaction zones.]]></description>
