  • Combustor for gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 10775047
    Abstract: A combustor includes: a combustion liner having a combustion chamber formed therein; and a fuel injector mounted to a top portion of the combustion liner, and including a fuel injection member having a plurality of fuel injection annular portions and an air guide member including a plurality of combustion air annular portions that guide air for combustion. The fuel injection annular portions and the combustion air annular portions are arranged concentrically and alternately. The fuel injector injects fuel and air into the combustion chamber. Each of the fuel injection annular portions includes a plurality of fuel injection holes that are open in a radial direction thereof, and each of the combustion air annular portions includes a plurality of air guide grooves that are open in an axial direction thereof, and guide the air to the fuel jetted from the fuel injection holes.

  • Method of detecting variant nucleic acids using extension oligonucleotides which differ from each other at both a position corresponding to the variant nucleic acids and one or more additional positions
    Patent number: 5728530
    Abstract: Method of detecting nucleic acids whose nucleotide sequences differ from one another at a position X. The method uses a set of oligonucleotides where the nucleotides found at position X are complementary to a variant nucleic acids only at this position X. However, with respect to the position of another mismatch Y, the nucleotide sequences thereof differ from one another. The invention further addresses reagents for performing the methods as well as reagents and applications of the method.
