Title: In-Band optical interference mitigation for direct-detection optical communication systems
Inventor: XIANG ZHOU
IPC: H04B10/2507
Filed: 2016-12-30
Abstract: Mitigating the effects of interference signals on optical signals received at a direct-detection optical receivers. The optical receivers are capable of attenuating interference noise signals resulting from the interference between a transmitted optical signal and one or more additional signals received at the optical receiver; where the interference may be due to multi-path interference, in-band interference or reflections from optical link connectors. The receivers may include a tunable filter for filtering the received optical signal to remove the interference, or may subtract from the received optical signal an estimated interference signal. A frequency offset module may process the received optical signal to determine a frequency offset indicative of the difference between the carrier frequencies of a modulated optical signal and an interference optical signal. A corresponding optical transmitter may receive from a remote receiver an interference signal frequency offset, and tune the optical signal carrier frequency accordingly.

Title: Process
Inventor: JOHN DAVID PACH
IPC: C01B3/48
Filed: 2017-02-06
Abstract: An ammonia production facility is disclosed which includes reformers feeding a high temperature water-gas shift unit which in turn feeds the ammonia synthesis unit; where the shift unit includes a low-steam water gas shift catalyst. This water-gas shift catalyst can be either: a) an enhanced iron-containing catalyst (with certain iron content, BET surface area and pore diameters) which may be formed into a certain pellet form; b) an enhanced iron-containing catalyst containing other metal oxides); c) an iron-free catalyst comprising a zinc-alumina spinel; or d) an iron-free catalyst comprising zinc and aluminium oxides with one or more promoters. The combination of the catalysts used, their particle size, pore size distribution and macroscopic pellet shape enable lower steam to carbon ratios and lower bed pressure drops to be achieved for a given reactant throughput. This enables a unit with higher production capacity to be operated, i.e. allows a higher hydrocarbon feedstock feed rate to the reformers.

Title: Turbomachinery
Inventor: Martin Goodhand
IPC: F04D17/10
Filed: 2018-08-24
Abstract: A turbomachine, method of operation and an indirect-heated Brayton cycle are disclosed. The turbomachine 105 is configured to compress supercritical carbon dioxide (sC02) and comprises, in fluid flow series, an inlet 201, an inducerless radial impeller 202 having a plurality of blades, and a fully vaneless diffuser 203. The inlet is radially flared to induce a radial component to the flow prior to it entering the impeller. This may be achieved by configuring the annulus lines of the compressor 105 so that the hub hade angle is between 50 and 70 degrees, more specifically 60 degrees. The compressor may have a volute 204 comprising a tongue with a flow area at the tongue, throat, equal to that of the diffuser. The radius of the inlet may be from 25 to 50 percent of the radius of the impeller. The specified hub hade angle strikes a balance between the amount of flow turn and reducing the risk of separation.
