Patent number: 6837051Abstract: A gas turbine combustor includes a side wall, for defining a combustion volume, having upstream and downstream ends, a pilot nozzle, disposed adjacent the upstream end of the side wall, for discharging a pilot fuel to form a diffusion flame in the combustion volume, and a plurality of main nozzles, provided around the pilot nozzles, for discharging a fuel-air mixture to form premixed flames in the combustion volume. Film air is supplied into the combustion volume downstream of the main nozzles along the inner surface of the side wall to reduce the fuel-air ratio in a region adjacent the inner surface of the side wall and to restrain a combustion-driven oscillation in the combustion volume.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2003Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shigemi Mandai, Kiyoshi Suenaga, Kuniaki Aoyama, Kazufumi Ikeda, Katsunori Tanaka

Publication number: 20020088233Abstract: A gas turbine combustor in which a part or all of the wall of the combustor disposed within an intake chamber is formed as an acoustic energy absorbing member that can absorb the acoustic energy of a combustion variation generated within the combustor. The acoustic energy absorbing member is constructed of a thin corrugated plate in a circumferential direction, a high-temperature-proof perforated material, or a back plate disposed at the outside of a perforated plate in a radial direction with a distance from the perforated plate. It is also possible to provide a covering member at the outside of the acoustic energy absorbing member in a radial direction, for covering the acoustic energy absorbing member with a distance from the acoustic energy absorbing member. It is preferable that the acoustic energy-absorbing member and/or the covering member are reinforced with a frame that extends in a circumferential direction and/or a longitudinal direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2001Publication date: July 11, 2002Applicant: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Keizo Ohnishi, Kazufumi Ikeda, Masaki Ono, Masaharu Nishimura, Katsunori Tanaka

Patent number: 5072473Abstract: In a full-automated washer, a cloth amount sensor detects a quantity of an object being washed which is thrown into a washing drum as a value inclusive of information regarding a degree of bulkiness of the object to be washed. A processing circuit included in the full-automated washer is responsive to a detection output signal from the cloth amount sensor to determine a water supply amount, a cleanser feed amount, a stirring time and a rinsing time. The cloth amount sensor is mounted to a stirring motor. Upon an OFF-state of the motor, the detection output signal is generated by measuring a voltage waveform induced by inertial motion which varies in accordance the degree of bulkiness of the object to be washed.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1991Date of Patent: December 17, 1991Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Sizuo Thuruta, Yoshiaki Takeda, Isao Hiyama, Kenichi Kubo, Toshikazu Ohonishi, Hideyuki Tobita, Tamotu Shikamori, Hiroshi Ohsugi, Hiroshi Kinoshita, Kazufumi Ikeda, Yoshio Ohwa, Toshiyuki Hori, Masayoshi Hirayama, Takeo Honma
