Patent EP-1342956-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAYASHI SHIGERU
IPC: F23R3/12
Filed: 2003-03-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a gas turbine combustor which makes it possible to achieve both a high combustion efficiency and low NOx emissions characteristics over a wide output power range without using a device that can vary the flow rate of the air used for combustion, by burning a lean mixture using high-temperature burned gas. The gas turbine combustor 10 comprises pre-mixture injection tubes 16 which conduct a mixture of fuel and air into a combustion chamber 11. The mixture from the pre-mixture injection tubes 16 is injected toward burned gas 19a present on the downstream side of the flame 19, which is injected from burners 15 that open into the combustion chamber 11, and this mixture is mixed with the burned gas 19a. Even in a mixture which is leaner than the lower limit of inflammability, the radicals in the burned gas 19a are effective in initiating reactions, so that the combustion of the mixture can be started. Since the burned gas has a lower oxygen concentration than fresh mixture, and since the pre-mixture is dispersed in space, the generation of NOx can be suppressed.

Abstract: A directional coupler type optical modulator (100) with travelling-wave electrodes
includes a first directional coupler region (27), a waveguide wave coupling region (28),
a second directional coupler region (29) and a set of noncrossing travelling-wave
electrodes (30,31) disposed along the outside of the waveguides. The electrodes (39,

Title: Surface profiling apparatus
Inventor: BANKHEAD ANDREW DOUGLAS
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: Light from a broadband source (4) is directed along a sample path (SP) towards a region of a sample surface (7) and along a reference path (RP) towards a reference surface (6) such that light reflected by the region of the sample surface and light reflected by the reference surface interfere. A mover (11) effects relative movement along a scan path between the sample surface (7) and the reference surface (6). A detector (10) senses light intensity at intervals to provide a series of intensity values representing interference fringes produced by a region of a sample surface. A data processor has a concurrent processing section (34a;340) for carrying out processing on intensity values as the intensity values are received by the receiving means during a measurement operation to produce data indicating the position of a coherence peak, and a post-processing section (34b;350) for, after completion of a measurement operation, using the data produced by the concurrent section to obtain data indicative of a height of the surface region. One of the processing sections has a correlator (44;440) for correlating intensity values with correlation function data representing a correlation function to provide correlation data to enable a position of a coherence peak to be identified. The post-processing section has a surface topography determiner (35;350) for determining a height of a sample surface region from coherence peak position data.

Abstract: The invention includes a marine telematics system comprising a satcom unit on a boat, a user interface for the satcom unit, a web-based user interface for the telematics system, and a land-based center of operations. The land-based center of operations receives signals from the satcom unit on the boat about the location of the boat and sensor responses to detectable events. The marine telematics system is customizable through a web-based interface, allowing boat owners to provide information and instructions to the land-based center of operations for handling particular situations that may arise while the boat is in use or at dock. The web-based interface further allows boat owners to plan voyages by setting series of waypoints, and the land­- based center of operations may assist the boat owners by providing feedback during their voyages based on the waypoint information previously provided by the boat owners. The marine telematics system of the invention allows users to remotely monitor the location of boats and events detected on boats, and to remotely activate equipment on boats.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for monitoring the environment of an object, in particular a vehicle, with at least one optoelectronic sensor mounted on the object, which scans a monitored region and provides measured data on objects located within the monitored region, an analytical unit, arranged after the sensor, for evaluation of the measured data provided by the sensor and for preparation of environment information, based on the measured data and a controller arranged after the analytical unit which reacts to the provided environment information, according to a given reaction strategy by preparing a control signal for control of the object. The analytical device comprises at least two parallel independent analytical paths in which the measured data is simultaneously evaluated according to differing analytical criteria. The analytical paths simultaneously produce different environment information about the same actual situation in the monitored region for the controller, said controller being embodied to carry out a weighting of the provided environmental information. The control signal is generated, depending on the weighting of the environmental information carried out based on the reaction strategy. The invention further relates to a method for monitoring the environment of an object.
