Title: Post-mixed gas burner
Inventor: HARALAMBOUS KALLIS
IPC: F23D14/70
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: A gas burner for natural gas or liquid petroleum gas comprises an elongate tube 2 having one end adapted to fit a gas supply 1 and the other end sealed. The tube includes orifices 4 arranged along the longitudinal tube axis formed by drilling in order to produce gas jets. The gas jets impact on an angle-iron or bent steel section 5 and thereby mix with air to provide stable combustion and produce blue fan-shaped flames. The aeration of the gas jet may be varied depending upon the angle 6 of the baffle selected. The burner and associated baffle may be fabricated from steel material sections such as tube and angle-iron, and the orifices may face in the horizontal or vertical direction. The burner may operate in atmospheric open-flue appliances or under a negative pressure when used in conjunction with a fan or flue extraction system.

Filed: 1999-03-20
Abstract: Diverting the trajectory of a missile by detecting the presence of the missile where a countermeasure processor 30 receives a signal from a missile warning system 14 and characterises the missile to prioritise a trajectory signal. A track processor receives the trajectory signal and generates a pointer signal. A receiver 50 has a single focal plane array which operates at a first and second frame rates, said first rate tracking the missile over a large portion of said array to determine trajectory and said second frame rate observing the missile over a small portion of said array to receive said active signature and is steered by the pointer. The countermeasure processor directs a laser at the missile to determine its operational parameters and receive an active missile signature. The track processor updates the pointer signal and the countermeasure processor generates a jam code delivered by the laser to divert the missile.

Inventor: NOJO SATOSHI
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2002-07-24
Abstract: A movement range of each transfer vehicle (18) is determined and input (step S1). Assuming failure of one of the transfer vehicles (18), the movement range of the remaining transfer vehicles (18) is determined and input (step S2). The state of each transfer vehicle (18) is judged (step S3). If all the transfer vehicles (18) are normal, the movement range determined in step S1 is applied (step S4) and if any one of the transfer vehicles (18) has failed, the movement range determined in step S2 is applied. A carrying-out origin and a carrying-in destination of the transfer vehicle (18) are determined (step S6) and the transfer route is searched for (step S7). After this, searched route candidates are listed (step S8), the transfer route is corrected so as to be a rational route (step S9), and the transfer time is calculated for each of the route candidates (step S10). The transfer route of the shortest transfer time is selected and a branching device (22) is reserved so as to prevent collision of the transfer vehicles (18) when they move (step S11).

Title: Method for determining a seismic wave velocity model in a heterogeneous underground formation
Inventor: BROTO KARINE
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: Method for determining a velocity model of seismic waves picked up by seismic receivers coupled with an underground formation, in response to the emission of seismic waves in the subsoil by a seismic source, after reflection on geologic interfaces of said formation, from multi-offset records of these waves. From picking on the seismic records one or more events for different source-pickup pairs associated with the weakest offset of a seismic acquisition device, the geometry of the events considered is predicted for the total range of offsets of the acquisition device and for different velocity values taken around a reference layer velocity, by means of kinematic inversion and modelling techniques. Then, for different lateral positions of the acquisition device, the predicted traveltime curve best approaching the seismic event considered is selected. The traveltimes thus obtained are then supplied to a prestack inversion method such as a traveltime tomography. Applications: seismic subsoilimagery for example.

Title: Generating device for a magnetic resonance excitation signal
Inventor: ALBRECHT ADAM
IPC: G01R33/36
Filed: 2004-07-23
Abstract: A signal splitter (2) splits an input signal (E) supplied to it via an input element (1) into at least two partial signals (T1, T2) and supplies them to amplification devices (4). These amplify the partial signals (T1, T2) to output signals (A1, A2) and supply the output signals (A1, A2) to a signal combiner (8), which combines them into a composite signal (S), which can then be tapped via an output element (10). Sensor devices (11, 12) arranged ahead of the signal splitter (2) and the signal combiner (8) detect a nominal signal corresponding to the input signal (E) and actual signals corresponding to the output signals (A1, A2) and supply them to a control device (13). This acts on at least one of the amplification devices (4) in such a way that the output signals (A1, A2) have a predetermined amplitude ratio and a predetermined phase position relative to one another.
