Abstract: La présente invention concerne une turbine à gaz (1) comprenant un ensemble de chambre de combustion et un espace de turbine (2) connecté en aval dudit ensemble de chambre de combustion. Cet ensemble de chambre de combustion est constitué d'une pluralité de chambres de combustion individuelles (3), formées de sections d'entrée (4) et de sections de transition (5) s'enchaînant dans un espace annulaire qui établit la transition vers l'espace de turbine. Les axes longitudinaux (B) de ces chambres de combustion individuelles sont réglés selon un certain angle par rapport à un axe de machine (M) défini par l'étendue axiale de l'espace de turbine (2). Afin d'améliorer cette turbine à gaz, les contraintes thermiques et mécaniques des chambres de combustion individuelles sont nettement réduites dans la section de transition, ce qui permet de pouvoir diminuer les exigences de refroidissement dans cette zone. Selon cette invention, la section de transition (5) d'au moins une chambre de combustion individuelle (3) et une zone d'entrée correspondante (9) de l'espace de turbine (2) sont conçues de façon que le flux gazeux provenant de ladite chambre de combustion individuelle (3) et pénétrant dans l'espace de turbine (2) soit dévié en direction de l'axe de machine (M), sensiblement dans la zone d'entrée (9) de l'espace de turbine (2).

Abstract: A solid electrolyte fuel cell component is formed by tape casting an electrolyte layer and electrode layers to form a green tape which can be manipulated. The green tape is coiled into a form having an S-shaped central portion having oppositely-directed loops, so as to provide a first longitudinal channel presenting an anode surface and a second longitudinal channel presenting a cathode surface. After coiling, the assembly is fired to produce a solid, sintered product.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for preventing noise from influencing a random number generator that is based on the meta-stable behavior of flip-flops. External noise will affect multiple flip-flops in a larger random number generator circuit in the same way, since they are physically close. Thus, the ability to influence the operation of a random number generator using external noise is reduced by incorporating a plurality of flip-flops, referred to herein as core random elements, in a single random number generator. If one of the core random elements in a random number generator is influenced by noise, all of the core random elements will be influenced by the noise. Thus, if all (or most) of the core random elements issue a random bit at the same time, there is a possibility that the random number generator was influenced by noise, and all the issued bits are discarded. One or more mechanisms are incorporated into the random number generator to ensure that a random bit is not generated when a plurality of the core random elements generate a bit at the same time.

Abstract: The procedure for the connecting of components (1,2) with one-sided access by using a blind rivet includes forming a truncated cone-form section (12) on the head (8) of the rivet mandrel (7) guided in the blind rivet sleeve (4), whereby the end face of this section by rotation of the blind rivet is pressed by an axially directed thrust force against the facing component. The component material in the working region is heated and made flowable, the mandrel head forms a hole penetrating the two components, and the displaced material is joined to the mandrel head like a cap. The blind rivet penetrates the two components until the set head (5) of the rivet sleeve stops against the facing component, and the rivet mandrel through upsetting of the blind side end of the rivet sleeve is withdrawn until the mandrel head remains sealed in the fixed connecting position of the two components. An independent claim is included for a device for the connecting of components with one-sided access .
