Title: Electrical connection block with button actuation of wire retaining means
Inventor: CHENG LIANG-CHIH
IPC: H01R4/48
Filed: 2012-06-04
Abstract: An electrical connection block with button actuation of wire retaining means eliminates the need for hand tools when wiring an electrical appliance and enables wiring to be carried out using only the hands. The connection block comprises an insulation main body 51 with wire entry through holes 513 provided in two sides of the main body and a plurality of retaining spaces 511 formed within the main body 51. Retained within the interior of each retaining space 511 are; a spring element 52, a retaining member 53, a conducting terminal 54 and the lower end 551 of a pressure button 55. The upper end 552 of each pressure button 55 protrudes out of a respective through-hole 512 in the top surface of the main body 51. Each retaining member 53 is positioned above a corresponding spring element 52 and clamps a connecting wire between the retaining member 53 and the conducting terminal 54. When a user activates a pressure button 55, the lower end 551 of the button 55 pushes the retaining member 53 downwards against the bias of the spring element 52 thereby causing the connecting wire to separate from the grip of the retaining member 53.

Title: Left shifting inputs to a lookup table then modifying the output based on the amount of shifting to obtain the final output
Inventor: BURGESS NEIL
IPC: G06F1/035
Filed: 2013-06-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a lookup table with an n-bit input and less than 2n table entries. The lookup mathematical operation embodied in the table has two properties, that the output value is a function of the input value, and that a first output value produced for a first input value is derivable from a second output value produced for a second input value. When the tables input interface circuitry receives an input value, it checks for a modification condition. If any of a predetermined number of significant bits of the input data value are logic zero values, the circuitry performs a shift operation on the input value which is the modified condition, prior to providing the input to the lookup table. The output interface circuitry, if the input value has been modified, performs an output value derivation operation on the output value as received from the lookup table, in order to modify that output value and produce the final output. The output value derivation operation taking account of the shift operation.

Title: Apparatus and method for simultaneous cleaning of gas turbine burners
Inventor: LAMB HARRY
IPC: F23D14/50
Filed: 2014-04-25
Abstract: Cleaning apparatus for simultaneous cleaning of plural gas turbine burners. The cleaning apparatus comprises a hollow steel box section manifold (1) arranged in a plurality of connected rows (6) defining a series of contiguous internal gas flow passages. A gas entrance port (5) on the manifold is connectable to an external source (not shown) of a reactive gas such as oxygen. Upstanding gas exit ports (9) provided on an upper surface of each row extend through corresponding apertures in a steel plate (2). Alignment pins (10) are associated with the gas exit ports (9) and are arranged to mate with corresponding features on a gas turbine burner (30) to be cleaned. In doing so, the gas exit ports (9) are correctly aligned with corresponding gas inlets of each gas turbine burner (see Fig. 3). The gas turbine burners (30) are maintained in position by their own weight and so no separate fixing means are required. The absence of active fixings provides the advantage that the gas turbine burners can be easily separated from the steel plate (2) even after being subjected to high temperatures within a pyrolytic oven.
