Abstract: A method for manufacturing a fiber preform for a part, includes weaving a first core texture of elongate shape extending in a longitudinal direction and comprising, in cross section, a central portion having, on its opposite sides, two edges each including two non-interlinked fibrous portions, shaping the first texture which involves at least opening out the non-interlinked portions to form a positioning surface defined by the portions thus opened out and by an interleaved portion, situated between these opened-out portions, which can be formed by a prolongation of the central portion, and positioning a second belt texture over the opened-out lateral portions and the interleaved fibrous portion, the second texture forming a loop around the shaped first texture to define empty spaces for articulation to other parts.

Abstract: A tooling for winding a fibrous fabric on a support, allowing gradual modification of the shape of the support as winding progresses, and includes compaction devices to reduce wrinkling of the fabric obtained after compaction.

Abstract: A Lithium-transition-metal-phosphate compound of formula Li0.9+xFe1-yMyPO4) in the form of secondary particles made of agglomerates of spherical primary particles wherein the primary particles have a size in the range of 0.02-2 pm and the secondary particles a mean size in the range of 10-40 pm and a BET surface of 16-40 m2/g, a process for its manufacture and the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a can-combustor for a can-annular combustor arrangement in a gas turbine. The can combustor includes an essentially cylindrical casing with an axially upstream front panel and an axially downstream outlet end. The can combustor further includes a number of premixed burners, extending in an upstream direction from said front panel and having a burner exit, supported by this front panel, for supplying a fuel/air mixture into a combustion zone inside the casing. Up to four premixed burners are attached to the front panel in a substantially annular array. Each burner has a conical swirl generator and a mixing tube to induce a swirl flow of said fuel/air mixture.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of carbon-coated lithium transition metal phosphate having the formula Li0.9+xMyMn1?yPO4 and its use as cathode material in secondary lithium-ion batteries wherein the process includes few synthesis steps which can be conducted easily, therefore providing a low cost process and results in a complete reaction of the starting material compounds or the mixtures thereof. At least one starting material compound is dispersed or dissolved in an essentially aqueous medium and heated to a temperature between 50° C. and 100° C. prior to addition of the remaining starting material compounds.

Abstract: A method for cooling solid residues of a combustion process, which are deposited onto the conveying surface of a conveyor belt of a conveying device and are conveyed in the direction of a solid residue outlet, wherein during conveying heat is transferred from the solid residues to a gaseous coolant. The method is characterized in that the conveyor belt is acted upon by coolant only on its side oriented away from the conveying surface, the conveyor belt is essentially impermeable to the coolant and at least part of the coolant heated by contact with the conveyor belt is extracted on that side oriented away from the conveying surface.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for operating a gas turbine with sequential combustion, which gas turbine includes a compressor, a first combustor with a first combustion chamber and first burners, which receives compressed air from the compressor, a second combustor with a second combustion chamber and second burners, which receives hot gas from the first combustor with a predetermined second combustor inlet temperature, and a turbine, which receives hot gas from the second combustor. The CO emission for part-load operation is reduced by reducing the second combustor inlet temperature for base-load operation of the gas turbine, and increasing the second combustor inlet temperature when decreasing the gas turbine load (RLGT) from base-load to part-load.
