Title: Gas turbine combustor
Inventor: MANDAI SHIGEMI
IPC: F23C99/00
Filed: 2002-07-18
Abstract: A gas turbine combustor is improved to enhance a cooling effect and a flame holding ability to thereby reduce NOx generation. A combustor 13 comprises a double structure of an inner cylindrical member 13a and an enlarged outer cylindrical member 13b to thereby enlarge a diameter of a combustion zone. A pre-mixing nozzle 11 comprises an outer sleeve 23 of which front end is projected beyond a base plate 17 and a pre-mixing nozzle portion 21 of the inner side.      Air flows between the outer sleeve 23 and the pre-mixing nozzle portion 21 for enhancing the cooling effect of the pre-mixing nozzle 11. High temperature gas inner and outer circulating flows 15, 16 are formed in the combustion zone to enhance the flame holding ability. Pilot fuel quantity, as so far necessitated for flame holding, is reduced and NOx quantity generated of the pilot fuel is reduced. The base plate 17 exposed to the high temperature gas is prevented from being overheated by the projected front portion of the pre-mixing nozzle 11.

Title: Method and apparatus for the correction of optical signal wave front distortion using adaptive optics
Inventor: TYSON JOHN ANTHONY
IPC: G02B26/06
Filed: 2002-07-26
Abstract: An adaptive optics system is disclosed whereby at least one mirror in the system is manipulated using electrostatic force to selectively attract or repel a portion of the mirror to or from a particular electrode, respectively. This attraction or repulsion is accomplished by mechanically coupling a bound charge layer of dielectric material to at least one surface of the mirror and then placing a voltage across an electrode in an array of electrodes positioned near that mirror. The charge in the dielectric material combined with a suitable electric field makes it possible to attract portions of the mirror in one instant and then, by changing the sign on the voltage placed across the electrode, to repel those same portions in the next instant.
