Patent CA-2425346-C (CA)
Title: Circuit breaker with bypass for redirecting high transient current and associated method
Inventor: MRENNA STEPHEN A
IPC: H01H71/12
Filed: 2001-10-12
Granted: 2012-10-02
Abstract: A bypass conductor (101) is provided for use in a miniature type circuit breaker (1). In one embodiment, the bypass conductor (101) can include an elongated flat strap positioned in a circuit breaker housing (3). A first end (106) of the bypass conductor (101) is positioned to be adjacent to a contact arm (35) in an open circuit position of the circuit breaker (1) to receive current flow, especially high transient current flow. A second end (118) of the bypass conductor (101) is electrically coupled and/or mechanically connected to a load terminal (71) of the circuit breaker to provide a path for current between the first and second ends (106, 108). In this manner, the bypass conductor (101) provides an alternate path for electrical current through the circuit breaker (1). The bi-metallic components (65) and other sensitive elements within the circuit breaker (1) can therefore resist the loss of useful life and other adverse operational effects caused by a high transient current event.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mélangeur de combustible et de gaz pour une turbine à gaz comprenant un élément de corps qui présente un espace annulaire tronconique dont l'extrémité la plus petite communique avec une extrémité plus petite d'une chambre tronconique en aval. Le combustible gazeux est injecté dans l'espace annulaire à travers des rayons creux disposés de manière radiale dans l'espace annulaire et se mélange avec un écoulement d'air introduit par les passages en amont d'air. La vitesse du premier mélange de combustible et air dans l'espace annulaire augmente lorsque l'écoulement se dirige vers la chambre en aval en raison de la forme tronconique de l'espace annulaire qui réduit la section transversale de l'écoulement vers l'aval. Lorsque la vitesse augmente, le premier mélange est diffusé lors de son entrée dans la chambre tronconique et est mélangé avec l'air introduit par les passages d'air en aval.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un article revêtu apte au traitement thermique comprenant une couche calibrée d'oxydation conçue pour renfermer une ou plusieurs couches barrières ou anti-migration au moins partiellement oxydées disposées entre une couche de contrôle solaire (par ex., une couche de NiCr) et une couche diélectrique (par ex., une couche de nitrure de silicium). Dans certains modes de réalisation, la ou les couches barrières ou anti-migration peuvent comprendre un oxyde métallique et servent à empêcher la migration d'un ou de plusieurs éléments entre la couche de contrôle solaire et la couche diélectrique lors d'un traitement thermique de l'article revêtu. Par conséquent, cet article revêtu présente une stabilité de couleur améliorée (d'où une valeur .DELTA.E* inférieure) lors d'un traitement thermique. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, on peut utiliser une cible unique pour pulvériser la couche calibrée comprenant les parties de couche anti-migration et la partie centrale plus métallique. Les articles revêtus de l'invention trouvent une utilité dans les vitrages isolants, dans d'autres vitrages architecturaux, dans les fenêtres de véhicules ou analogues.

Inventor: GUILLOT-SALOMON DAMIEN
IPC: F02C9/42
Filed: 2004-06-21
Granted: 2011-11-08
Abstract: The method involves controlling fueling of jet engines to one set value that is common to the engines and depends on an automatic power order and conditions of flying of the aircraft. The set value is converted into another set value related to speed of rotation of fans of the engines by level flying aircraft at steady altitude. The fueling of the jet engines is controlled to the latter set value. An independent claim is also included for a system of fueling jet engines of a multiengine aircraft flying in automatic controlling mode.

Granted: 2014-08-12
Abstract: On convertit des données dans des formats permettant des transferts souples transparents, concaténés de manière à ce que ces éléments de réseaux n'acceptant pas de concaténation (2605) souple puissent transmettre les trames de données de manière transparente. La concaténation souple implique l'utilisation de trames de données non standard telles que la STS-4c ou la STS-Nc (2614) dans lesquelles les créneaux de temps n'occupent pas des emplacements contigus rigidement définis. Le pointeur d'un créneau de temps parent est utilisé par chacun des créneaux de temps enfant, et l'identificateur de concaténation indique une non concaténation. Ainsi les données concaténées apparaissent comme étant une série de STS-1s classiques telles que le traitement du pointeur puisse être exécuté avec sucés, même par un élément non capable de traiter des concaténations non standard. Un trameur de réception descendante (2619) reconstitue le STS-Nc original sur la base du N STS-1s et d'une table de concaténation.

Title: Optical packet routing network system based on optical label switching technique
Inventor: SAKAI YOSHIHISA
IPC: H04L45/60
Filed: 2000-08-24
Granted: 2009-11-24
Abstract: An optical communication equipment comprises shared optical sources to be shared by communication nodes, the wavelengths of optical signals are converted into desired wavelengths according to the addressed information of the corresponding optical label signals by using the shared optical sources, and routed to the addressed communication nodes without being converted into electrical signals by using the wavelength routing function of the cyclic-wavelength arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG). The load of each communication node can be reduced by incorporating the multi- wavelength optical sources, which can be shared among individual communication nodes, into the router. Further, each communication node is provided with an optical gate or the like for returning the optical signal to the communication node from which the optical signal has been transmitted through the router in order to adjust the transmission time lag between the optical signal and the corresponding optical label signal by the controllers. In this way, the setting of the transmission time lag by each communication node can be made easier, thereby largely reducing the work load.

IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2003-10-17
Granted: 2011-03-01
Abstract: A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure provide the ability to determine an input operating point and an output operating point on a non-linear traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA). The non-linearity of the TWTA is measured (1302). An input roots mean-square (RMS) value of an input signal used to measure the non-linearity of the TWTA is computed (1304). The RMS value identifies an input operating point of the measured non-linearity of the TWTA. Lastly, an output operating point is obtained (1306).
