Abstract: An Ericsson cycle turbine engine. The Ericsson cycle turbine may comprise: a centrifugal gas compressor, shaft, at least one heat exchanger, and a reaction turbine. The centrifugal gas compressor may function as a spinning wheel trompe and may be fed with a gas-liquid mixture. The centrifugal gas compressor may separate a gas from the gas-liquid mixture after compression of that gas via centrifugal acceleration. The shaft may couple to the downstream end of the centrifugal gas compressor and may have an annular space to permit the compressed gas to travel therein. The heat exchanger may introduce heat to the compressed gas, such that isobaric expansion is approached. The reaction turbine may couple to the downstream end of the shaft and may rotate the shaft when releasing the compressed gas. The liquid may be mercury, oil, or a water-glycol mixture. The gas may be helium, air, argon, or ammonia.

The heat exchanger may introduce heat to the compressed gas, such that isothermal expansion is approached. The reaction turbine may couple to the downstream end of the shaft and may rotate the shaft when releasing the compressed gas against a plurality of vanes. The liquid may be mercury, oil, or water. The gas may be helium, air, argon, or ammonia.

Abstract: A mobile web application manager system is provided for creating, editing, and managing mobile web applications. The system may include an interface component configured to receive data in an arbitrary format. A formatting component may reformat the received data to a canonically formatted dataset. A publishing component may publish the canonically formatted dataset. A rendering component may render a mobile web application based on instructions and/or data comprised within the canonically formatted dataset.
