Title: Rotating Fuel Mixing Arrangement for Combustion Fluids of a Jet Engine
Inventor: BELL IAN STEPHEN
IPC: F23R3/30
Filed: 2005-05-26
Abstract: A fluid and fuel mixing system has a chamber (34 fig 1) through which a fluid can pass and in which fuel 36 can be held. The fuel is rotated by a drive arrangement when it is held within the chamber, the rotation influencing the shape and/or position and/or characteristics of the fuel. The system has an entry conduit 30 for directing the fluid into the chamber, an exit conduit 42 for directing a mixture of fuel and fluid out of the chamber, and a restrictive passageway 40 within the chamber through which the fluid passes. The restrictive passageway is bounded in part by the fuel surface 38, and causes the pressure and/or temperature of the fluid to increase as it passes through the passageway; the fluid engaging with the fuel surface. During operation of the system in a jet engine, it may be located between an air duct 2 and an engine combustion space 6, and may also include an air baffle 18. The chamber may form an annular trough 16 within a mid portion 4 of the engine, and may rotate about a longitudinal axis 14 on bearings 8. Airflow through the passageway generates and mixes with vaporised fuel, the mixture burning in the engine combustion space to produce propulsion. Alternatively the chamber may be static (40 fig 10) and the fuel caused to rotate by a rotating fluid stream.

Title: Communication control system and communication control method
Inventor: MATSUSAWA TAKESHI
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 2007-12-31
Abstract: A user plane control part (U) integrates user planes (U-Plane) that are separated and extracted from a network logic connection and a packet logic connection and tat are used to control the transmission of user data related to a mobile terminal. A control plane control part (C) integrates control planes (C-Plane) that are separated and extracted from the network logic connection and the packet logic connection and that are used to control the transmission of a control signal related to the user data. Then, packet communication is used to establish communication for the user and control planes separated from the network logic connection. In this way, in a core network having the network logic connection and packet logic connection between a mobile terminal and a radio base station, the mutual dependency between the user plane and the control plane can be eliminated to improve the node usage efficiency and reduce the communication delay.
