Title: Cool diffusion flame combustion
Inventor: MINA THEODORE ISHAQ
IPC: F23D14/20
Filed: 2007-05-15
Abstract: A combustion process for burning fuel in a combustion chamber includes supplying fuel and air to a burner 1 associated with the combustion chamber 7. The burner arrangement may includes a fuel supplier 2 having a central fuel supply passage 3 with a circular fuel supply nozzle 4 of exit diameter 'd'. An annular passage 14 between an inner surface 10 and a tapered front end 5 of the fuel supplier may define the air supply path. The amount of air supplied is at least as much as is required for stoichiometric combustion of the fuel and additionally for subsequent dilution of the combustion process in the combustion chamber. The fuel and all the air are injected from the burner directly into the combustion chamber in a substantially unmixed state as a fuel stream within an air stream, such that fuel burns as a diffusion flame. The thickness of the fuel stream can have a high surface-to-volume ratio at or close to the stoichiometric fuel/air ratio. Alternatively, no part of the fuel stream emerging from the burner fuel supply nozzle is more than about 1.75mm from the boundary between the fuel stream and the air stream. The combustion process can be performed in burners and combustors that take many different forms, and as such may be used in gas turbine combustors or combustion chambers of steam raising boilers. The fuel may be gaseous, a vaporized liquid, or a pulverized solid fuel.

Title: Wireless alarm system having remote sensors communicating with a central control unit at variable intervals based on the operating state of the sensor
Inventor: KELLY GERARD
IPC: G08B29/14
Filed: 2009-10-23
Abstract: An alarm system is provided comprising a central control unit 10, and a plurality of remote sensors 12,14,18,22, in intermittent routine RF communication with the control unit. The sensors report to the control unit at greater intervals when enabled than when not enabled. When a sensor is disabled, it may communicate routinely with the control panel at least every 20 seconds, whereas, when a sensor is enabled, it may communicate routinely with the control panel at a frequency of between 4 and 20 minutes. For each sensor, starting from a state in which the control unit is armed and the sensor is enabled, if the control unit is subsequently disarmed, the sensor remains enabled until it is triggered whereupon it is disabled by the control unit. Thus, sensors in relatively 'non busy' areas where no triggering is normally expected will remain enabled and consequently report to the control panel at a frequency of between 4 and 20 minutes thereby saving on power consumption. The system is also suited for the purpose of informing the control unit that sensors are present and working correctly.

Title: Improvements relating to rocket projectiles
Inventor: SATCHWELL FRANCIS JOHN
IPC: F42B12/48
Filed: 1962-03-16
Abstract: 1,018,322. Practice projectiles. THOMAS FRENCH & SONS Ltd. March 15, 1963 [March 16, 1962], No. 10077/62. Heading F3A. A practice dummy warhead for a projectile comprises a hollow body 11, a reservoir 13 containing a smoke generating substance, and means 14a, 14b for supporting the reservoir within the body. A striker rod 12b, limited by the abutment of a collar 12d with a shoulder 11g of the body, passes through an axial hole 12a in an inertia mass 12, the latter being retained by a circlip 12f positioned in a recess 12e of the striker rod. When a locknut 12c is screwed on the forward end of the striker rod fracture of the ampoule 13 will result only from impact of the projectile with a solid object. If, however, the locknut 12c is removed acceleration forces on the mass 12 will cause a pressure on the shoulder 11g normally sufficient to shear the material and allow axial motion of the striker rod and mass, guided by ribs 11c on the inner surface of the body, thus fracturing the ampoule 13. This axial motion will bring the mass 12 into abutment with the plastic sealing ring 14a so that the contents of the ampoule can escape only if the striker rod is a clearance fit in the hole 12a thus allowing the contents to pass to radial air vents 11f in the nose and vents 11d in the wall of the body. The portion 11a of the body is filled with wax and provided with a counter weight 15a to balance the projectile and simulate a live warhead. The weight 15a is supported on an anchor pin 15b and maintained centrally in the body by a spring 15c bearing against the inner wall. In a modification the counter weight 15a is situated nearer the ampoule and the striker rod is omitted, the inertia mass 12 being mounted on a cylindrical bush and secured by a pin located in a diametrical hole in the rear end of the bush. A shearing pin through the forward end of the bush replaces the collar 12d and shoulder 11g of the previous embodiment. The ampoule 13 is mounted on the mass 12 by means of a spider clip and moves with the mass, fracture being caused by collision with the counter weight 15a.
