Abstract:
The invention relates to a surface vehicle 1 comprising a keel-mast arrangement 10 where at least one keel 14 is arranged to at least one mast 13 to form the keel-mast arrangement 10 and that the keel-mast arrangement 10 is movabiy arranged to a multihull structure 20 where the keel-mast arrangement 10 is arranged with a rotating joint 15 to the multihull structure 20, where the multi hull structure have at least one opening 25, 25' for the keel- mast arrangement 10 to pass through, so that the multihull structure 20 and the keel-mast arrangement 10 are freely rotatable around an axis formed by a bow-stern axis A. The invention further relates to a method to provide a capsize safe surface vehicle comprising a multihull structure 20 and a keel-mast arrangement 10 where at least one keel 14 is arranged to at least one mast 13 to form the keel-mast arrangement 10 where the keel-mast arrangement 10 is rotatable arranged to the multihull structure 20 so that the multihull structure 20 could freely rotate around the bow-stern axis A to keep the mast 13 substantially above the surface and the keel 14 substantially below the surface when the surface vehicle is in use.
Abstract:
A method in a main node for communication with a destination node over long distances. Use of at least one communications resource is synchronized with an auxiliary node. A main signal and an auxiliary signal are generated from an information quantity. The main signal is transmitted to the destination node by the at least one synchronized communications resource. The auxiliary signal is transmitted to the auxiliary node by the at least one synchronized communications resource.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a variable convergent-divergent exhaust nozzle (14) for a jet engine (1) comprising a fixed structure (16), a first cross sectional area (Al), a second cross sectional area (A2), a plurality of first flap means (18) being pivotally connectable to the fixed structure (16), a plurality of second flap means (18') being pivotally connected to the plurality of first flap means (18), first actuator means (20, 20h, 24) being arranged to actuate said first flap means (18) for variation of the nozzles (14) first cross sectional area (Al) between a first position and a second position, and second actuator means (20', 20 'h, 24') being arranged to actuate said second flap means (18') for variation of the nozzles (14) second cross sectional area (A2) between a first position and a second position. The respective first flap means (18, 24, 26) comprises third flap means (24) and fourth flap means (26), each comprising a first sliding surface (22, 22') arranged in continuous contact with adjacent first flap means (18) during said variation. The respective second flap means (18') comprises fifth flap means (24') and sixth flap means (26'), each comprising a second sliding surface (22''', 22''''') arranged in continuous contact with adjacent second flap means (18') during said variation. The present invention also relates to method for varying a variable convergent-divergent exhaust nozzle (14) for a jet engine (1).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a variable exhaust nozzle (14) for a jet engine (1), the nozzle (14) comprises an upstream portion (16), flap means (18) being pivotally connectable to the jet engine (1) via the upstream portion (16), the flap means (18) com- prises a downstream portion (16´) forming a downstream linear edge (19'), actuator means (20, 20h, 24) being arranged to actuate said flap means (18) for variation of the nozzles (14) cross sectional area (A1, A2) between a first position and a second position. Said flap means (18) is skewed. The nozzle (14) comprises shape forming flap means (24, 62) for forming the cross sectional area (A1, A2), and adjacent flap means (24, 26, 27, 28) having sliding surfaces (22, 22') in continuous contact during said variation. The present invention also relates to method for varying a variable exhaust nozzle (14) for a jet engine (1).
