Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate equalizing inter-sector interference and performing interference cancellation on a forward link by utilizing a combination of pilot interference cancellation followed by selective interference cancellation. An embodiment of the disclosed invention may comprise a visual display device and one or more pinhole imaging devices positioned within the active display area of the visual display. The flash cell is programmed and erased by using a Fowler-Nordheim channel tunneling scheme. The radiation burner and the two parts of the reforming reactor are thereby arranged and constructed in such a way that the radiation burner surrounds the two parts of the reforming reactor, and the educt gas and smoke gas can be conducted in counter-current between the two parts of the reforming reactor. A wear-resistant assembly contacts, at least in part, the first component and the second component. The components also include a pair of electrodes extending axially and disposed in the decoupling and holding elements so as to form a gas discharge path.
