Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for connecting superimposed reinforcing rods (W), wherein a bent length of connecting wire (K) is placed from one side down over the superimposed rods and the rods are then tightened together by causing the free ends of the bent wire length to be deformed from the opposite side. The connecting wire length is placed in the form of a preshaped staple of a strong and stiff metal. The staple legs are guided in guiding grooves (4) on the inner side of the legs and the cross piece of a substantially U-shaped form piece (1), that is placed from the opposite side over the superimposed rods and is divided along a midplane perpendicular to the plane of the U, in such a way, that the ends of the staple legs are guided - within the cross piece of the form piece - towards or past each other around the rod that is turned away from the cross piece of the staple.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un injecteur de carburant pour une chambre de combustion de turbine à gaz; cet injecteur fonctionnant de manière sélective pour les gaz et pour les carburants liquides. Cet injecteur est doté d'un conduit central (23) de carburant liquide et d'orifices (25), d'un conduit annulaire (1) de gaz et d'orifices à gaz (3), ainsi que d'un conduit annulaire externe (13) d'air de combustion. L'injection de carburant liquide tend à provoquer l'entrée des produits de combustion dans les orifices à gaz, empêchant ainsi une combustion efficace des gaz. Des ouvertures (17) sont ménagées entre le conduit externe d'air et le conduit intermédiaire de gaz, permettant ainsi que, lors de l'injection de carburant liquide, l'air puisse circuler dans le conduit de gaz et purger les orifices à gaz. Il peut être également avantageux, lorsqu'on passe de la combustion de carburant liquide à celle des gaz, d'augmenter la pression des gaz à un point tel que la circulation d'air soit renversée et que les gaz circulent dans le conduit d'air. Le prémélange gaz/air est ensuite émis depuis des coupelles de turbulence (15) situées autour de l'anneau des orifice à gaz. On obtient ainsi une combustion plus efficace des gaz.

Abstract: A multi-carrier transmission system has a plurality of transceivers, each having a receiver and a transmitter. Data is transmitted between the transceivers by modulating the data onto a multiplicity of carrier waves in the form of multi-bit symbols, wherein each carrier wave constitutes a channel, and wherein the number of bits per symbol (the bit loading), varies between channels and, within a channel, with time, so that each channel has associated therewith a bit loading parameter. In operation, the multi-carrier system is adapted to synchronously update, at the transceivers, the bit loading parameters associated with each channel by transmission of data over a control channel, in that the control channel is established, at system start-up, on a predetermined one of the multiplicity of carrier waves whose identity is known to the transceivers, and in that the control channel is, after start-up, changed from the predetermined channel to a further channel, selected by the first transceiver on the basis of channel characteristics.
