摘要:
A packet processing system architecture and method are provided. According to a first aspect of the invention, a plurality of quality of service indicators are provided for a packet, each with an assigned priority, and a configurable priority resolution scheme is utilized to select one of the quality of service indicators for assigning to the packet. According to a second aspect of the invention, wide data paths are utilized in selected areas of the system, while avoiding universal utilization of the wide data paths in the system. According to a third aspect of the invention, one or more stacks are utilized to facilitate packet processing. According to a fourth aspect of the invention, a packet size determiner is allocated to a packet from a pool of packet size determiners, and is returned to the pool upon or after determining the size of the packet. According to a fifth aspect of the invention, a packet is buffered upon or after ingress thereof to the system, and a packet for egress from the system assembled from new or modified packet data and unmodified packet data as retrieved directly from the buffer. According to a sixth aspect of the invention, a system for preventing re-ordering of packets in a packet processing system is provided. A seventh aspect of the invention involves any combination of one or more of the foregoing.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of determining the amount or presence of antibodies to an immunogen in a blood sample comprising at least the steps of detecting the amount or presence of plasma antibodies or parts thereof and lymphocyte antibodies or parts thereof in said sample, wherein said plasma and lymphocyte antibodies are detected together or in separate assays and determination of their combined amount or presence determines the amount or presence of antibodies to said immunogen. Uses of the method in high throughput screening, screening of blood bank samples and in diagnosis are also provided.
摘要:
A combustor liner (230) for a gas turbine engine combustor (200) comprises an inner wall (232), an outer wall (238), a cooling air flow channel (244) formed there between, and a flow control ring (246). The flow control ring (246) is sealingly attached to the downstream ends of the inner wall (232) and the outer wall (238), and comprises a plurality of holes (250) that, during gas turbine engine operation, may regulate a flow of cooling air that passes through the cooling air flow channel (244). One or more surfaces may be coated with a thermal barrier coating (237) to provide additional protection from thermal damage.
摘要:
An improved turbine spring clip seal for directing gases to be mixed with fuel in a combustor basket. The turbine spring clip seal may include an inner housing and an outer housing. The inner housing or the outer housing, or both, may be shortened relative to conventional clips and may include a cooling channel proximate to a point of attachment to the combustor basket.
摘要:
A barrier structure (302) blocks exit of spring clip fragments (317) that may break off from a spring clip assembly disposed between a gas turbine engine combustor (300) and a transition piece component (360). The barrier structure (302) may additionally comprise an aspect (326) effective to restrict a spring clip's (310, 311) radially inward compression, thereby reducing or eliminating damage to the spring clip (310, 311) during shipping and handling. The barrier structure (302) additionally may comprise an aspect (330) to restrict access by a human hand to the free ends (318) of the spring clips (310, 311). This aspect (330) reduces or eliminates the undesired lifting of the compressor by grabbing the spring clips (310, 311) during combustor transport, installation or removal. Accordingly, barrier structure embodiments are provided that reduce stress on spring clips, and that prevent the exit of spring clips from a containment space partly formed by the barrier structure.
摘要:
A template (10) configured for use with an annular preform (26) having a periphery (32) and an inner opening (34), the template (10) having an annular body with an outer periphery (16) and an inner opening (18) and a plurality of spacer openings (12) through its body each for receiving a spacer (25), one of the template inner opening (18) and the template outer periphery (16) having a width equal to the width of the preform inner opening (34) or the preform outer periphery (32). Also a method for densifying preforms that includes a step of positioning spacers using a template.
摘要:
A furnace spacer (10, 30, 50, 70) for spacing a first annular preform (22) from a second annular preform (22) in a furnace (100), each of the first and second annular preforms (22) having an outer periphery and a width and an inner opening having a periphery and a width, the spacer (10, 30, 50, 70) having an annular body (12, 32, 52, 72) having an inner diameter and an outer diameter. Also a method of alternately stacking spacers and preforms in a furnace.
摘要:
A shroud for surrounding a portion of a turbine flow path having improved cooling and durability is disclosed. The shroud includes a plurality of generally axial cooling holes spaced a substantially equal distance apart and a plurality of generally circumferential cooling holes oriented generally perpendicular to the generally axial cooling holes. The generally circumferentially cooling holes are spaced a non-uniform distance apart so as to provide cooling to selected portions of shroud sidewalls to lower shroud operating temperatures and improve shroud durability.
