Abstract: A method for densification of porous by CVI in which substrates are loaded into a loading zone of an oven and heated to a temperature at which a desired matrix material is formed from a precursor gas(es). A reative gas containing the precursor gas(es) is admitted into the end of the oven and heated upstream from the loading zone of the substrates. The reactive gas is also preheated prior to entering the oven so that, upon entering the oven, it is brought to an intermediate temperature between ambient temperature and the temperature to which the substrates are heated. In this manner, a very small temperature gradient is obtained throughout the loading zone.

Abstract: A mapping device (13) maps each burner mode at various bleed settings to generate control schedules (80) for a combustion controller (11) that ensure combustion dynamic (acoustic) pressures, and emissions limits and ring flame temperatures are within operational limits. In general, a method of combustor mapping involves adjusting the bulk ring flame temperature to meet emissions and acoustic requirements. The dome ring flame temperature is then adjusted to determine maximum and minimum ring flame temperature boundary limits. At both the maximum and minimum ring flame temperatures, the emissions levels and acoustic pressures are checked to see that they are within specification limits. If they are not, the bulk ring flame temperature is adjusted, and the entire process is repeated for that bleed setting and burner mode. If the emissions levels and acoustic pressures are within specification limits, then the power is increased to a different mode and bleed setting combination, and the process is again repeated. During each of these steps, mapping data are recorded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A signal processing system is disclosed which is implemented using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based Hidden Markov Model (HMM), or a GMM alone, parameters of which are constrained during its optimization procedure. Also disclosed is a constraint system applied to input vectors representing the input signal to the system. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, related to speech recognition systems. The invention reduces the tendency, common in prior art systems, to get caught in local minima associated with highly anisotropic Gaussian components-which reduces the recognizer performance-by employing the constraint system as above whereby the anisotropy of such components are minimized. The invention also covers a method of processing a signal, and a speech recognizer trained according to the method.
