  • Publication number: 20200102886
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor delivering air into a combustion section. The combustion section and the compressor are housed in a housing. An air supply system communicates through the housing to deliver air from a location between an upstream end of the compressor, and an upstream end of the combustor. A diffuser is positioned downstream of the compressor. An opening in the housing supplies air to the inlet end. The diffuser has an outer shroud and an inner shroud with intermediate vanes. The outer shroud ends at a location upstream of a downstream end of the inner shroud at locations circumferentially aligned with the inlet end. The outer shroud only ends at the upstream location at circumferential locations associated with the inlet end, but extends further downstream at other locations.

  • Patent number: 10573455
    Abstract: Novel and advantageous insulator discs with embedded resonator coils are provided. By linking the insulator discs in a series using an appropriate mechanical mechanism, the insulator discs form an insulator or insulator string for a high power transmission line system. The resonator coils embedded inside the insulator discs therefore form a series of relay resonators that can be used for wireless power transfer through the principle of near-field magnetic coupling and resonance. The insulator string can provide the simultaneous functions of voltage insulation and wireless power transfer over the length of the string. Applications include, but not limited to, wireless power transfer in a high-voltage environment such as that encountered in high-voltage power transmission line systems.
