Abstract: An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a combustor and a fuel injector assembly. The combustor includes a combustion chamber that extends axially along and circumferentially about an axial centerline. The fuel injector assembly is configured to direct fuel and air into the combustion chamber. The fuel injector assembly includes a fuel injector nozzle and an air swirler structure. The fuel injector nozzle projects into and is coupled with the air swirler structure. The centerline axis of at least one of the fuel injector nozzle or the air swirler structure is angularly offset from the axial centerline by an offset angle in a circumferential direction about the axial centerline.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine apparatus includes a combustor wall, and the combustor wall includes a panel, a deflector and a quench aperture that extends along an aperture centerline through the combustor wall to an aperture outlet into a combustion chamber. The panel extends axially along and circumferentially about an axis. The panel extends radially between a first panel side and a second panel side. The first panel side forms a peripheral boundary of the combustion chamber. The panel forms a downstream side of the aperture outlet at the first panel side. The deflector projects out from the panel at the first panel side into the combustion chamber. The deflector forms an upstream side of the aperture outlet.

Abstract: A gateway turns encrypted PS data traffic on the Iub interface into clear IP packets so that WAN stream de-duplication and other optimization can be performed to eliminate the transfer of repetitive data across the Iub interface, thereby increasing the throughput between the NodeB and the RNC of the WCDMA network. The gateway pulls PS data traffic out from Iub without disturbing the signaling and CS traffic. The bifurcated PS data traffic is redirected to the GTP I/O port of the gateway where the stream de-duplication is applied. Deployment of the gateway is transparent to the WCDMA network. No network reconfiguration is required to deploy the gateway on the Iub interface.

Abstract: According to the invention there is a particle including a plurality of stacked sub-structures, each sub-structure including a stack of graphene layers, in which the separation between successive stacked sub-structures is greater than the separation between successive graphene layers in each sub-structure.

Abstract: The roof top kit for extinguishing fire embers is a fire resistant structure that is adapted for use with buildings. The roof top kit for extinguishing fire embers is adapted to mount on the roof of the building. The roof top kit for extinguishing fire embers comprises a passive barrier and an active suppression system. The passive barrier is a fire resistant barrier that is mounted on the building such that there is space between the passive barrier and the structure. The passive barrier provides a physical barrier that prevents embers from wild fires from falling directly upon the roof of the structure. The active suppression system saturates the passive barrier in water. The water extinguishes ignitions that may occur from the embers that have landed on the passive barrier.
