  • Patent number: 6169852
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically-energized device for the rapid generation of steam or other vapors. The high-speed steam generator includes a wicked evaporator, a liquid reservoir, a liquid supply pipe, and a vapor transport tube. The evaporator consists of a low-thermal-conductivity porous wick, heated from a downward-facing grooved heating block that is in intimate contact with the upper surface of the wick structure. The grooved heating block is made of a copper block in which electric cartridge heaters are installed. As a heat load is applied on the heating block, an extremely steep temperature gradient is established immediately at the upper surface of the wick so that water from the saturated wick evaporates rapidly adjacent to the heated surface. Subsequently, menisci are formed at the vapor/liquid interface to develop a capillary force to pump subcooled liquid into the wick from the liquid reservoir.

  • Patent number: 5546430
    Abstract: This detector is for demodulating a received signal having been previously encoded by a trellis coded modulator and for producing an information data signal with reduced intersymbol interference. The detector comprises a predictor, a delay line, a feedforward filter, an adder, a subtracter, an updater and a trellis coded modulation estimator. The trellis coded modulation estimator has a feedback filter which is adjusted with respect to the feedforward filter to form a decision-feedback equalizer. Moreover, the delay line has a predetermined length which is adjusted according to an order of the feedforward filter and a depth of the trellis coded modulation estimator to achieve a zero relative delay between an output of the feedforward filter and outputs of the trellis coded modulation estimator.
