TL;DR: In this article, a low NOx generating combustor is proposed in which a first lean mixture of fuel and air is pre-heated by transferring heat from hot gas discharging from the combustor.
Abstract: A low NOx generating combustor in which a first lean mixture of fuel and air is pre-heated by transferring heat from hot gas (41) discharging from the combustor. The pre-heated first fuel/air mixture is then catalyzed in a catalytic reactor (86) and then combusted so as to produce a hot gas having a temperature in excess of the ignition temperature of the fuel. Second and third lean mixtures of fuel (32) and air are then sequentially introduced into the hot gas, thereby raising their temperatures above the ignition temperature and causing homogeneous combustion of the second and third fuel air mixtures. This homogeneous combustion is enhanced by the presence of the free radicals created during the catalyzation of the first fuel/air mixture. In addition, the catalytic reactor acts as a pilot that imparts stability to the combustion of the lean second and third fuel/air mixtures.

TL;DR: A circuit breaker with an anti-bounce mechanism characterized by separable contact means operable between open and closed positions and including a cross bar, an operating mechanism releasable to effect movement of the contacts and comprising a link connected to the cross bar.
Abstract: A circuit breaker with an anti-bounce mechanism characterized by separable contact means operable between open and closed positions and including a cross bar, an operating mechanism releasable to effect movement of the contacts and comprising a link connected to the cross bar, means for preventing bouncing of the cross bar when the contacts are open and comprising a stop member engageable with the length

TL;DR: In this article, a fluid pressure control mechanism for controlling the operation of the throttle of a vehicle engine was proposed, and a mechanism of the above type was used to control the throttle operation of an engine.
Abstract: This invention relates to fluid pressure control mechanism, and more particularly to mechanism of the above type for controlling the operation of the throttle of a vehicle engine. It has previously been proposed to employ mechanism of this type for controlling the throttle of a vehicle engine,...

TL;DR: A turbine blade with a cooling air flow path specifically directed toward cooling the platform portion of the blade root is described in this paper, where cavities are formed in a radially inward facing surface of an over hanging portion of a platform opposite the concave surface of the turbine blade airfoil.
Abstract: A turbine blade with a cooling air flow path specifically directed toward cooling the platform portion of the blade root. Cooling air passages are formed in the blade root platform just below its radially outward facing surface on an overhanging portion of the platform opposite the convex surface of the blade airfoil. Each of these passage extends radially outward from an inlet that receives a flow of cooling air, and then extends through the platform. Cavities are formed in a radially inward facing surface of an over hanging portion of the platform opposite the concave surface of the blade airfoil. An impingement plate directs cooling air as jets into these cavities. A passage is connected to the cavities and directs this cooling air through the overhanging portion of the platform opposite the concave surface.
