Patent DE-19926846-A1 (DE)
Title: Establishing and maintaining active state of electrical equipment having energy-saving mode, e.g. for motor vehicle by converting optical signals from bus in to electrical energy for power supply
Inventor: KOENIG JENS
IPC: H04L12/12
Filed: 1999-06-12
Abstract: The electrical equipment includes at least one receiver connected via an optical bus to at least one transmitter. To establish and/or maintain an active state in the receiver, optical signals are output to the optical bus. The signals reaching the receiver meet the light sensitive layer of a converter where they are converted to electrical energy to create a power supply for the receiver. The electrical energy may be accumulated before being used for the supply of power. The electrical energy may be used to operate a switch which connects a voltage source to the receiver.

Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: A combustor liner (60) has a stepped combustor liner surface (62) and an
overhang portion (66) forming an air cooling slot (64). A contoured rear
facing edge (70) of the overhang portion reduces turbulence of combustion
gas flow and reduces a combustor liner surface area exposed to combustion
gases. A thermal barrier coating (78) is also applied to the contoured rear
facing edge, reducing heat flow into the overhang portion and hence reducing
the operating temperature of the combustor liner. Thus, the amount of
cooling air is reduced, which can reduce exhaust emissions, increase engine
performance and extend a working life of the combustor assembly.
