Patent EP-1211408-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BALSDON DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: F02M25/08
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: A vapor purge system that permits evaluation of the system with a minimum number
of hoses and connections, and without the use of additional components. The system
includes a valve having first and second ports in communication with a first chamber and a
third port in communication with a second chamber, the first and second chambers being
defined by a metering member that divides an internal volume of a housing. A first conduit
connects a diagnostic member having first and second operative states with the first chamber,
the connection being made through the second port. The first operative state prohibits
communication with an exterior of the valve, and the second operative state permits
communication with the exterior. The diagnostic member provides the ability to reliably
measure flow through the valve. The system can use three (3) hoses including five (5)
connections from a vapor supply port connected with the first port to the third port
operatively connected with a manifold.

Abstract: A combined cycle power plant includes a gas turbine (210), a steam turbine
and a heat recovery steam generator (220) having a duct burner (264) for
supplementary firing. In the unfired mode, gas turbine exhaust is used in the
heat recovery steam generator (220) for generating steam for the steam
turbine (238). The power plant includes a main steam output line (234) from
the heat recovery steam generator (220) connected to the first stage inlet of
the high pressure section of the high pressure section (236) of the steam
turbine. A bypass loop is connected either to an intermediate pressure
connection of the HRSG or from the high pressure line to an admission point
downstream of the high pressure inlet nozzle, at a lower pressure than the
nominal inlet pressure. By operating the bypass system in conjunction with
the duct burning process in the HRSG, the steam inlet pressure to the steam
turbine can be maintained at the optimal level during both fired and unfired
operation of the HRSG. Another potential benefit is a higher output during
fired operation than could otherwise be accomplished with a given steam
turbine.

Title: Apparatus and method for pumping memory cells in a memory.
Inventor: RICODEAU FRANCOIS PIERRE
IPC: G11C11/404
Filed: 2001-12-03
Abstract: An apparatus (and method) is provided that pumps (up or down) the voltage on a
memory cell thereby increasing (above the logic one voltage value) or decreasing (below
the logic zero voltage value) the voltage stored in the memory cell, and providing an
increased differential on the bit lines during a subsequent read operation of the memory
cell. When a logic one or zero voltage is coupled to the first plate of the memory cell for
storage, the second plate is held at a voltage that is lower or higher, respectively (preferably
a voltage that is the complement logic value of the value being stored). After the word line
is deactivated (thereby decoupling the memory cell from the bit line and storing a logic one
voltage value or logic zero voltage value), the voltage on the second plate is
correspondently either raised or lowered. In the present invention, the second plate is raised
or lowered to the precharge and equilibrate value (usually Vdd/2). This pumps the voltage
stored in the memory cell to a higher voltage (if a logic one is stored) or a lower voltage (if
a logic zero is stored).
