Title: Gas turbine engine exhaust gas transition ducts
Inventor: COOPER JOSEPH BARNSDALE
IPC: F02K1/80
Filed: 2011-04-08
Abstract: A gas turbine engine transition duct 34 is used to convey exhaust gas and bypass air away from the engine (10, Figure 1), towards an exhaust nozzle. The duct 34 defines the outer extremity of the path for gas and/or air through the duct. The duct comprises a plurality of flat panel members 36 which together define the outer extremity of the path. Preferably the downstream edges 38 of the flat panel members 36 form a polygonal duct outlet (Figure 5); this may be rectangular, square, triangular or any other polygon. The flat panel members 36 may extend downstream from an inlet which is narrower than a cross-section defined by flat panel members 36 along at least one axis. Optionally guide panels 60 which may be triangular may be located around the duct inlet and may be orientated obliquely to the flat panel members 36 to widen the path from the inlet towards the outer extremity defined by panels 36.

Title: Determining the location of a base station
Inventor: GIUSTINA ANDREA
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: A base station 18 for a cellular communication system is intended for purchase and deployment by a customer, rather than by the network operator. After installation, the position of the base station is determined by requesting a mobile device connected to the base station to provide location information derived from a satellite positioning system (GPS) and using the location of the mobile device as an estimate of the location of the base station. If the base station has changed location since a previous location determination an alarm may be sent to an operator of the cellular communications network and service may be discontinued to the base station.
