Title: Fuel-injection arrangement for a gas turbine combustor
Inventor: ALKABIE HISHAM SALMAN
IPC: F23R3/14
Filed: 1997-04-10
Abstract: A fuel-injection arrangement for a gas-turbine engine has distributed longitudinally along a pre-chamber portion of the combustion chamber a series of fuel-outlet holes 38 configured such that a radial component of momentum of the fuel exiting the holes varies along the series of holes. To achieve this the holes are preferably differently sized along the trailing edge. Advantageously, the holes at the very upstream end of the pre-chamber portion have the smallest diameter, the size thereafter progressively increasing along the series. The size distribution may vary either continuously, or in stepped fashion. The direction of exit of the fuel from the outlets is preferably radial towards the central axis of the swirler. The variable-sized holes may be employed in a swirler upstream the main combustion chamber region and/or in an intermediate region between the swirler and the main chamber region.

Patent GB-2323225-A (GB)
Title: Clock recovery circuits
Inventor: EJIRI SATORU
IPC: H03L7/181
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: In the case of sending the sampled clock of transmission coded data together with the coded data and regenerating a clock synchronized with this sampled clock on the receiver side, the drawing-in or locking is speeded up on the received side for the clock information items SCRn sent at unequal intervals. In the case of generating a control voltage of the vco 5 in accordance with the received SCRn and the SCCn by the counter 6, a CPU 11 calculates the amount of frequency deviation per unit time and generates a control voltage in accordance with this amount of deviation. Thereby, even if SCRn are received at unequal intervals, a rapid follow-up control of the PLL loop including the vco becomes possible. A separator 1 separates the received signal into system clock reference information SCR 106 and coded data 105. The CPU applies an initial value to a counter 6 counting oscillations from vco 6. The counter output SCCn is applied to a flipflop 7 and a latched output is applied to the CPU 11.

Title: Decreasing the frame error rate in data transmission
Inventor: KAJALA MATTI
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1998-04-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for decreasing the frame error rate of information to be transmitted in the form of data frames in a data transmission system, in which the information to be transmitted is divided into data frames. The data frame is supplemented with error correction data generated by using part of the information to be transferred. At least part of the information to be used in the generation of error correction data is protected by error correction coding, by which an error correction coded data frame is obtained, in which different parts of the protected information have different error rates (BER). The error correction coded data frames are transferred in the data transmission channel from the transmitter to the receiver. The error rates of at least one part of the protected information are levelled out by shaping at the transmission stage the information which is protected by error correction coding and which is used in the generation of the error correction data.
