  • Patent number: 9810186
    Abstract: Provided is an injector (30) having a plurality of injector modules (44) that include a spray cup having a chamber and a plurality of radial air passages for directing air radially into the chamber, and a pressure swirl atomizer attached to the spray cup and having a fluid passage for directing fluid axially into chamber and an air passage for directing air axially into the chamber. By providing radial and axial air flow and axial fuel flow into the chamber, the fuel may be mixed to prevent local hot spots that lead to high NOx emissions, and a stable flame may be maintained without autoignition and flashback. The axial air flow also prevents recirculation zones from forming at a base of the spray cup, provides improved atomization and enhanced combustion.

  • Patent number: 7941472
    Abstract: An apparatus for correlating multibit first and second words includes a multiplexer for selecting one bit at a time of the second word, and applying the bit to a multiplier which receives the first word, for generating a product by inverting or noninverting the first word. The product is applied to an adder and is added to a delayed parallel signal to produce a sum signal. The sum signal is delayed in an amount related to the number of bits in the first word to produce the delayed parallel signal. A plurality of such apparatuses are cascaded, with the bits of the second word applied in subsets to the apparatuses, and the partial correlations applied as input words to the next apparatus in the cascade.

  • Patent number: 6211628
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling an electron beam in accordance with the present invention includes an electron gun, a cathode ray tube with a faceplate, a deflection drive, a pair of positioning electrodes, an electron beam controller, and a pair of capacitors. The electron gun generates an electron beam in the cathode ray tube which is deflected in a desired direction towards and between at least one pair of positioning electrodes formed on the inner surface of the faceplate. Each of the positioning electrodes generates a position signal which is capacitively coupled by the capacitors to the electron beam controller. The electron beam controller adjusts the deflection of the electron beam in response to the position signals. The capacitors comprise a pair of first and second capacitor plates which are separated by the cathode ray tube. The first capacitor plates are disposed on opposing sides of an inner surface of the cathode ray tube adjacent to the faceplate.
