摘要:
A furcation apparatus for a multi-conductor cable of the type having reinforcing fibers for longitudinal strength. The furcation apparatus includes a furcation spacer having a plurality of passages extending through an interior of the furcation spacer from a first end to a second end. Each passage is of a size sufficient to receive a furcation tube having reinforcing fibers, and each furcation tube is of a size sufficient to receive one of the plurality of conductors of the cable. The furcation tube reinforcing fibers approach the furcation spacer from the second end and are anchored adjacent the first end, and the cable reinforcing fibers approach the furcation spacer from the first end and are anchored adjacent the second end, such that tensioning the furcation tube reinforcing fibers and cable reinforcing fibers places the furcation spacer under compressive stress.

A CDCFL latch circuit having a plurality of inputs and first and second outputs includes a gate circuit responsive to logic input signals supplied to the plurality of inputs for providing complementary output logic signals at the first and second outputs when the gate circuit is rendered operative. A regeneration circuit is coupled to the first and second outputs for maintaining the complementary output logic signals at the first and second outputs when the regeneration circuit is rendered operative and the gate circuit is rendered non-operative. A shared load circuit provides current to the gate circuit when the gate circuit is operative and for providing current to the regeneration circuit when the regeneration circuit is operative. A control circuit responsive to a complementary clock signal and coupled between the shared load circuit and the gate and regeneration circuits alternately renders the gate circuit operative when the complementary clock signal is in a first logic state and the regeneration circuit operative when the complementary clock signal is in a second logic state.

A flexible beam lead tape having three layers having trace conductors, a dielectric and a ground plane. Vias extend through the dielectric layer at the first and second ends of the electrical conductors for providing versatile connections to either ends of the conductors. The ends of the conductors may be provided with electrical connections on either or both sides of the tape and may be connected by pressure contact or by bonding.
摘要:
A control system for a hydroelectric power plant of the run-of-river type wherein the load on the turbine-generator units is matched to the flow of the river so that the units operate at the maximum head available for existing flow conditions to produce the maximum energy available from the river flow for the installed capacity of the plant and within the allowable, safe operating capability range of the turbine-generator units. Reservoir water level sensors provide a signals indicative of changing water level, sensors for generator electrical and thermal operating characteristics provide a signals related thereto, and a control connected to the water level sensors, to the generator sensors and to the turbine governor adjusts the turbine flow control devices to change the turbine power in response to changing river level within the safe and allowable operating range of the generator. Adjusting the turbine power to match the water available either when the reservoir level increases or decreases maintains maximum head for the power plant to obtain maximum energy therefrom. A tailwater level sensor and cavitation control also control the turbine flow control devices in an appropriate manner when a condition of cavitation is being approached. The control system typically is employed with a plurality of turbine-generator units in a hydroelectric power plant.
