Title: Procédés de génération de puissance par oxy-combustion au moyen d'un combustible à faible valeur calorifique
Inventor: ANDERSON ROGER E
IPC: F02C3/04
Filed: 2010-09-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne une chambre d'oxy-combustion destinée à brûler de l'oxygène avec un combustible gazeux à faible valeur calorifique. Un compresseur en amont de la chambre de combustion comprime le combustible. La chambre de combustion produit un gaz d'entraînement comprenant de la vapeur et un dioxyde de carbone ainsi que d'autres gaz non condensables dans la plupart des cas, qui traversent une turbine pour délivrer une puissance. Le gaz d'entraînement peut être renvoyé à la chambre de combustion soit via le compresseur et l'entrée d'oxygène soit directement à la chambre de combustion. Le renvoi peut se produire avant ou après un condensateur pour séparer une partie de l'eau provenant du dioxyde de carbone. Le dioxyde de carbone excédentaire et la vapeur sont collectés à partir du système. La turbine, la chambre de combustion et le compresseur peuvent être dérivés à partir d'une turbine à gaz existante au moyen d'un combustible et de conduites d'air/oxydant permutées.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for determining a bias point of a modulator, wherein the method includes: adding pilot signals to the bias voltages of the modulator; adjusting the bias point of the modulator at a predetermined step and acquiring a first harmonic amplitude value corresponding to each bias point in a backlight detection current signal output by the modulator; and determining a bias point corresponding to the maximum value of the first harmonic amplitude values associated with multiple bias points as the bias point of the modulator. By virtue of the disclosure, the detection of a difference frequency signal can be eliminated, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of a periphery control circuit while ensuring the control accuracy, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the control process, and improving the modulation and transmission performance of optical signals in the whole system.

Abstract: In an elevator apparatus having the function of performing call registration through the use of the voice recognition technology, wrong recognition of voices is prevented from occurring due to sounds generated during the arrival of a car at a hall. 
     This elevator apparatus is provided with a microphone installed in a hall, a sensor for detecting a user present in a prescribed range in the vicinity of the microphone, call registration means which performs call registration on the basis of a voice signal inputted from the microphone, and an arrival notification device which makes prescribed notification by sound when a car of the elevator arrives at the hall. In the case where the sensor is detecting a user upon arrival of the car at the hall, the sound volume used during the notification from the arrival notification device is lowered from the sound level used at the time when the sensor is not detecting a user.
