Title: Dynamic control system and method for catalytic combustion process and gas turbine engine utilizing same
Inventor: GREEB KEVIN
IPC: F02C9/28
Filed: 1999-09-16
Abstract: A unique and useful dynamic control system has been invented for the control of a catalytic combustion system for use on a dynamic plant, preferably, a gas turbine engine. The dynamic control system facilitates the replacement of conventional flame combustion systems with catalytic combustion systems, which produce far less pollutants, by producing acceptable transient performance of the combustion system. A method of controlling the catalytic combustion process comprises the steps of calculating a mass flow of air introduced into the combustor, monitoring a flow of fuel to be combusted within the combustor, monitoring a temperature of the air introduced into the combustor, calculating an inlet temperature set point based on the mass flow and fuel flow, and controlling a pre-burner to heat the air based on the inlet temperature set point, the mass flow, and the temperature of the air. Further, the mass flow may be estimated based on ambient air temperature and pressure, and compressor speed. A catalytic combustion gas turbine system is also presented, the operation of which is controlled by a dynamic plant controller which generates a fuel flow rate demand signal to control the flow of fuel to be combusted in response to dynamic plant demands.

Title: Communications system load control methods and apparatus
Inventor: OXLEY DEREK ALAN
IPC: H01Q1/28
Filed: 2000-06-26
Abstract: A communications system (100) includes an aircraft (120) that acts as a repeater between ground equipment (101) and communication units (128) on the ground. The ground equipment (101) includes multiple base transceiver stations (104, 106, 108) that provide traffic channels, control channels, and access channels. The channels are all in a single beam (124) projected from aircraft (120). Relative loading on access channels is influenced by access class lists (200, Fig. 2) assigned to control channels. Access classes can be transferred from one list to another, or they can be removed from a list. Relative loading of traffic channels on the base transceiver stations is influenced by assigning different time offsets to each base transceiver station so that calls can be transferred from one base transceiver station to another.

Patent AU-6551000-A (AU)
Title: Synthesis of supergratings by fourier methods
Inventor: LEVNER DANIEL
IPC: G02B6/124
Filed: 2000-08-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing supergratings using Fourier analysis. The method divides the synthesis process into two stages: synthesis of an "analog" grating profile, followed by a quantization step. The method provides a generalized procedure for analog synthesis by drawing on the Fourier approximation and on finite-inpulse-response (FIR) filter design theory, while it interprets the simple threshold quantization as a "zeroth order" Delta-Sigma Modulator, which it improves. The method of designing a supergrating for a waveguide includes providing a reflectance spectrum in at least one spectral band to be produced by a supergrating in a waveguide, the reflectance spectrum having specified reflectance features, transforming the reflectance spectrum to a Fourier domain representation having Fourier-domain features, computationally synthesizing an analog refractive index profile corresponding to the Fourier-domain representation and transforming the analog refractive index profile to a binary or multi-level refractive index profile representation in such a way as to conserve Fourier-domain information within the spectral band.

Title: Process for cleaning dust laden gases
Inventor: GIMAG A G
IPC: B03C3/00
Filed: 1981-03-11
Abstract: An intermittently operated apparatus for cleaning dust laden gases has a gas-tight housing, a pair of spaced gas-permeable walls holding a filter bed consisting of granular filter material. A centrally located conveying pipe is mounted to the housing for regenerating the filter bed after a predetermined amount of operating time. A high electric potential is applied in the region of the filter bed for removing dust particles from the dust laden gas which is flowing through the permeable walls and the filter bed. From time to time, the gas cleaning mode is interrupted and the granular filter material of the filter bed is regenerated by fluidizing the same in the conveying pipe. A system comprising a plurality of such filtering apparatus always maintains one of the apparatus in a regenerating mode while the remaining filter devices are in gas cleaning mode. Thus, the simultaneous operation of cleaning and regenerating is accomplished. The use of a filter bed having a thickness of about 25 to 100 mm. and consisting of granular filter material having a grain size of about 0.5 to 2.0 mm. in combination with application of high electric potential charge of about 10,000 to 60,000 volts achieves significant improvement over prior apparatus and methods.

Title: Controlled casting of hypereutectic alloys
Inventor: ROGERS KEVIN PHILIP
IPC: B22D18/08
Filed: 1990-12-11
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU90/00588 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 2, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 2, 1992 PCT Filed Dec. 11, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/02100 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 21, 1991.Al base - Si hypereutetic alloys can exhibit problems of variable and unwanted microstructure throughout the section of the article being cast. This problem is overcome by controlled cooling of the mold in critical areas, to remove or prevent excessive accumulation of heat energy and avoid the formation of intense convection currents in still molten alloy. Consequently, the necessary coupled growth of the Al-Si eutectic is promoted and the resultant microstructure is substantially free of primary Si. The 3HA and modified 3HA alloys of the applicant are considered on the basis of their wear resistance and improved machineability for automotive applications, such as engine blocks and cylinder heads. A first feature of the controlled cooling procedure is supply of coolant to regions in the mold, above and extending from the gate, such that solidification progresses uniformly from the remote regions of the mold spaces towards the gate to give a substantially uniform microstructure throughout the casting. Various coolants may be used, so that temperature in the vicinity of the gate is 50 DEG -75 DEG  C. above those at the extremities. A second feature of the controlled cooling procedure consists of supplying melt to the mold cavity through a plurality of gates, spaced relative to one another in the critical control region of the mold. The result of using such a plurality of gates, is that the energy accumulated is more widely distributed in a plurality of critical control regions, in order to achieve the necessary temperatures at the remote and gate regions and temperature differentials between these.
