  • METHOD FOR BALANCING THRUST, TURBINE AND TURBINE ENGINE
    Publication number: 20150330220
    Abstract: A turbine comprising a rotatable rotor and a pressure chamber; a wall of the pressure chamber is arranged to act on the rotor so that to balance thrust exerted by the rotor when it rotates; a conduit connects the pressure chamber and arranged to a pressure source; a valve associated to the conduit may open and close the conduit; the valve is arranged to open automatically when the pressure upstream of the valve exceeds a first predetermined threshold value; in this way, when the load of the turbine is high excessive thrust is balanced because of the higher pressure in the pressure chamber.

  • Lab reservation system
    Patent number: 7693732
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer implemented lab reservation system including a reservation engine and a reservation database. The reservation database contains data concerning the computer systems and target operating environments in the lab. The reservation engine manipulates the reservation database in order to efficiently match user requests to specific lab computer systems and target operating environments. The reservation system also manipulates the reservation database in order to efficiently configure computer systems and target operating environments. The reservation engine also manipulates the reservation database in order to efficiently reinstall computer system default settings, when users return configured systems, so that the computer systems can be reallocated to new requests.
