The present invention is applied to a technique which involves nitrogen cooled generator system for an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant. The generator comprises an air separation unit (ASU) which separates nitrogen from air. The nitrogen is can then be used as a coolant in the generator system....

The invention relates to a secured vertical alignment of gib key of the nozzle box. The key is secured in between an inner shell assembly and the nozzle box by holding the key in a groove with a single bolt and thereby can prevent liberation of the key. In one aspect, even though if the bolt fails to hold the key, the...

The power consumption of a company or a household is neither constant nor the same on two following days and also depends on a multitude of different aspects. However, the consumption scheme is predictable, there are usually time periods of low consumption, time periods of higher consumption and few short-time periods...

Two-dimensional Cellular Automata such as Conway's game of life are a parallel universal computation model. Their implementation in hardware is obvious and has been considered an alternative to the currently dominating von-Neumann model, even though this is not done on a commercial level today. If it would be done on...
