Patent EP-1104092-A3 (EP)
Inventor: PERNER FREDERICK A
IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: An operational amplifier (10) includes transistors (18a, 18b, 18c, 18d,
18e) for providing a controlled current path. At least some of the transistors
(18a, 18b) are in isolated wells (6) in a substrate. Offset of the operational
amplifier (10) is corrected by applying a back gate bias voltage to at least one
isolated well (6) and changing impedance of the transistors. The proper back
gate bias voltage and transistor impedance are determined by incrementally
adjusting the back gate bias voltage and then incrementally adjusting the
transistor impedance. Calibration values are stored in register memory (44a to
44e, 62a to 62e). Such calibration may be performed by an auto offset
calibration process.

Abstract: Fuel gas is saturated with water heated with a heat recovery steam generator
heat source. The heat source is preferably a water heating section (162)
downstream of the lower pressure evaporator to provide better temperature
matching between the hot and cold heat exchange streams in that portion of
the heat recovery steam generator. The increased gas mass flow due to the
addition of moisture results in increased power output from the gas and
steam turbines (116,118). Fuel gas saturation is followed by superheating the fuel,
preferably with bottom cycle heat sources (160), resulting in a larger thermal
efficiency gain compared to current fuel heating methods. There is a gain in
power output compared to no fuel heating, even when heating the fuel to
above the LP steam temperature.

Abstract: To provide a diffusion code generator capable of rendering

The spreading code generator generates orthogonal code list SP

generators generate M length code Sci, SCq of relatively long
cyclicity respectively. Diffusion codes for in-phase
components and orthogonal components are computed by ExOR
circuits respectively, and diffusion code for in-phase

set in a TTI cycle to another different type. In this case,
switching by the timer is possible either only in a TTI cycle
or in a cycle of T2=N*T1 (N: integer) taking opportunity of TTI
