Abstract: An electrical power generating system and method wherein a generator is driven by an air-breathing engine. At any operating condition, for a given power output the engine efficiency is substantially optimized by controlling the rate of air flow through the engine in such a manner that the fuel/air ratio is controlled to maintain a high peak temperature imparted to the working fluid in the engine. The method and system of the invention eliminate the need for variable-geometry mechanisms in the engine, and also eliminate the need for variable-geometry combustors and pre-burners. The invention is applicable to various types of air-breathing engines that operate at low fuel/air ratios.

Abstract: A method of grinding the outer circumferential surface of a workpiece 5 formed of a hard and brittle material into a predetermined shape using a grinding wheel while rotating the workpiece 5 is disclosed. The method includes plunge grinding the workpiece 5 at an arbitrary portion (plunge ground portion 21) in the longitudinal direction of the workpiece 5 by causing the grinding wheel to come in contact with the workpiece 5 in a direction which intersects a rotational axis 8 of the workpiece 5, and traverse grinding the workpiece 5 toward the plunge ground portion 21 by moving the grinding wheel relative to the workpiece 5 in a direction parallel to the rotational axis 8 of the workpiece 5.

Abstract: The present invention realizes a high coding gain employing a non-linear coding and a non-linear mapping. A converter converts one row of data that is inputted from a terminal into plural rows of data. Thenon-linear encoders non-linearly encode lower level two rows of data in plural rows of converted data, and outputs them as data of level 1 and level 2 to a non-linear mapping circuit. The non-linear mapping circuit maps the data non-linearly encoded by the non-linear encoders and the uncoded data so that each codeword distance may be optimal. A modulator modulates a carrier wave with two-dimensional data that are mapped by the non-linear mapping circuit.
