Patent number: 5806299Abstract: A process and a device for quickly switching over from the premixing operation to the diffusion operation in combustion chambers of a gas turbine upon the extinction of the premixing flame or upon the occurrence of a disturbance that may lead to the extinction of the premixing flame. A pilot gas line, into which a pilot gas control valve is inserted, branches off from the fuel gas supply line before the fuel gas valve. The fuel gas supply line branches into fuel supply lines for both combustion chambers after the fuel gas control valve with displacement measurement. The fuel supply to the diffusion gas line and to the premixing gas line is controlled by installing a quick switch-over valve each with servo valves in the branching fuel supply lines. The combustion chambers are monitored in the area of the flame tube by pressure-measuring devices and by an optical flame-monitoring device.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1997Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: MAN Gutehoffnungshutte AktiengesellschaftInventors: Kurt Bauermeister, Michael Brodmann, Peter Kuper, Jurgen Moroni, Hans Weibel

Patent number: 5799395Abstract: An air gap-insulated exhaust pipe with a sliding fit between two inner pipe sections in a middle area of the length of the exhaust pipe has a radial mounting of the inner pipe in the outer pipe which is provided in the area of a bend or beyond the bend, which joins the leg of the exhaust pipe in which the sliding fit is located. In terms of manufacturing technique, the radial mounting may be prepared before or after the bending of the double-pipe arrangement. The sliding fit may be prepared, even in the case of a straight exhaust pipe, manifold, or the like, by using a spacer sleeve and joint calibration of the pipe ends of the inner pipe sections, and the spacer sleeve burns off at the time the exhaust pipe is put into operation for the first time. As an alternative, the sliding fit may also be prepared by polygon calibration and rotating the pipe ends by half the pitch of the polygon.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: J.

Patent number: 5802309Abstract: Data between two stations is often transmitted in the form of a parameter and the name or identifier of the parameter. The present invention divides the identifier into a prefix, an attribute, and a suffix. The actual parameters having a particular prefix or suffix are then transmitted along with the attributes. Then parameters having a different suffix but the same prefix are transmitted along with the respective attributes. This is repeated until all suffixes of the first prefix have been used. The process is then repeated for a different prefix. Indicators are used to indicate the start of a particular group having a particular suffix and a particular prefix. In this way the entire identifier for each parameter does not need to be transmitted each time a parameter is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1996Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: John Cook, Kathryn de Graaf, Shay Leshkowitz, Paul Greizerstein
