IPC: F01D17/00
Filed: 2001-07-18
Abstract: A gas turbine plant for limiting a sudden increase of load of the gas turbine, i.e., of the amount of fuel, and suppressing a stress of the turbine, or for maintaining a suitable fuel-air ratio is disclosed. The plant includes a controller comprising a section for calculating a governor signal for controlling the degree of opening of the fuel valve, based on a revolution speed of the gas turbine; and a section for calculating a load-limiting signal for following the governor signal, wherein when the governor signal decreases, the load-limiting signal is larger than it by a predetermined value, while when the governor signal increases, the increase rate of the load-limiting signal has a predetermined upper limit. The controller also comprises a limiting section, into which both signals are input, for limiting the upper value of the governor signal by using the load-limiting signal as an upper limit.

Title: Apparatus and method for limiting data bursts in atm switch utilizing shared bus
Inventor: ROY SUBHASH C
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: An ATM switch system including input and output ports with associated buffers (12a, 14c, 16a, 12b, 14b, 16b), source traffic control system including shared bus coupling the ports, and arbiter controlling the transfer of data. The arbiter monitors the internal destination addresses of the ATM cells, and increments a counter (32a, 32b) associated with the destination port when the destination corresponds, and decrements other counters which do not correspond to the destination. Bursts for a particular output port cause the count of the associated counter to grow large; whereas long breaks cause the count to drop.  The counts are compared to a high threshold (125) which alerts arbiter (170) to the danger of output port buffer overflowing. Upon receiving the alert, arbiter (170) either stalls by refusing to grant access until the counter decrements below the first threshold, or grants bus access to the input port associated with the output port. A low threshold (140) is utilized to declare that burst is over and to free the counter for tracking a new burst to the same or a different output port.

Title: Data compression method and apparatus with embedded run-length encoding
Inventor: COOPER ALBERT B
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2000-02-29
Abstract: The disclosed data compressor receives an input stream of data characters and provides a corresponding stream of output codes. The compressor generates a sequence of numerically increasing output codes corresponding to numerically increasing contiguous segments of a detected run of the same data character.      Non-run characters of the input stream are transmitted directly in synchronism with incrementing the codes of the code sequence.      In one embodiment, the number of characters in the run segments are stored together with the respective codes representing the segments. In later encounters of a previously processed run, the stored data is accessed and the stored codes corresponding to the run segments are output as appropriate.
