Inventor: SAITO YOSHIO
IPC: F02K3/075
Filed: 2003-01-15
Abstract: This invention provides a multi-fan system separated core engine
type turbofan engine in which high pressure air is used as the
working fluid for a turbine which drives a fan, thereby reducing
the manufacturing costs of the turbofan engine and simplifying
the constitution thereof. A turbine for driving a fan 11 which
is provided in a propulsion device 3 of the multi-fan system
separated core engine type turbofan engine 1 is an air turbine
13 which is driven by the supply through a duct 9 of a part of
high pressure air compressed in a compressor 5 of a core engine
2. Since the working fluid of the air turbine 13 for driving the
fan 11 is not high temperature combustion gas, there is no need
to use expensive heat-resistant material for the turbine, and
thus the propulsion device 3 can be manufactured at low cost,
the constitution thereof can be simplified, and operational
control can be ameliorated.

Abstract: A disk device and a disk medium in which a plurality of servo cylinders (20) on the surface of at least one disk (10) are divided into several areas (P0,P1) and a different servo signal frequency (FS0, FS1) is set and recorded for each of the areas (P0,P1). The servo cylinders (20) are divided into predetermined areas (P0,P1) and a different servo signal frequency (FS0,FS1) for each of the areas (P0,P1) is set so that the recording density of the servo signals recorded in the disk (10) can be set so as to allow the servo signal demodulation characteristic to be included in a relatively superior range. In such a disk device, the boundary between the area (P0) of a first servo signal frequency (FS0) and the area (P1) of a second servo signal frequency (FS1) adjoining the first servo signal frequency area (P0) is preferably formed with an area in which a servo signal pattern written with the first servo signal frequency (FS0) and a servo signal pattern written with the second servo signal frequency (FS1) are arranged on the same servo cylinders (20).

Abstract: Satellite communication systems are provided that employ highly
inclined, highly elliptical orbits. The satellite communication systems have a
satellite constellation phased to provide a ground trace with respect to the earth
that is repeated by each of the satellites in the constellation such that the
satellites appear to follow one another over similar paths over the earth. Due to
the path of the ground trace provided, ground stations can employ a single axis
tracking device since the satellites appear to move along similar overlapping
paths in opposing directions relative to a user on the ground during
communication control handoffs.

Inventor: TRAINOFF STEVEN P
IPC: G01N30/02
Filed: 2004-06-08
Abstract: Chromatographic separations are often characterized by multiple detectors though which the
sample flows serially. As the sample flows between detectors, it becomes progressively diluted
due to mixing and diffusion. This phenomenon is traditionally called "band broadening" and
often results in significant distortion of the calculated physical properties such as molar mass and
size. This is particularly true for the case of monodisperse samples such as proteins. A new
procedure is described whereby most types of band broadening may be corrected resulting in
more accurate calculations of such physical properties. The conventional means for correcting
band broadening effects is based upon mathematical procedures that attempt to narrow the
broadened peak to its prebroadened form. Such procedures are notoriously unstable and often
result in unphysical results such as ringing, negative concentrations, or negative scattered
intensities. This disclosure describes a method to characterize the broadening present in a
chromatographic system, and an algorithm whereby the narrow peaks of the upstream detector
are artificially broadened so that they can be compared to the broadened peaks of the
downstream detector. Although the technique results in some loss of resolution, its stability and
generality allow it a broad range of application. Examples include correction of RI detector
broadening following MALS detectors, correction of MALS broadening following UV detection,
correction of viscometric broadening following both MALS and RI detection, and all
permutations thereof.
