摘要： A 24-pulse and 18-pulse composite AC-to-DC converter is a converter using two or more conversion methods in parallel. The converter may include a main rectifier receiving at least a portion of an input AC signal, an autotransformer having an output voltage with lower amplitude than the input AC signal, and a plurality of auxiliary bridge rectifiers, each receiving the output from each leg of the autotransformer. In one embodiment of the invention, the main rectifier may receive a substantial portion of the load current, allowing each of the auxiliary bridge rectifiers to be generally smaller than the main rectifier.

摘要： A fault protection system and method of fault protection for permanent magnet machine (PMM)-based systems that utilize machine neutral decoupling (MND) to shut down a shorted winding and/or to isolate a short-circuit fault to prevent damage to a permanent magnet machine and to any downstream components are provided. The invention may be used for high-reactance and/or high current PMM-based systems, such as are commonly found in industrial and aviation applications.

摘要： The invention relates to a technique for discerning a status of an armature of a high-speed solenoid at any time during its operational cycle. In high speed solenoids, motion of an armature does not occur until after a finite and indeterminate lapse of time after application of a driving voltage. In the present invention, a pulsed driving voltage is used to drive the solenoid. A resultant current in a coil of the solenoid exhibits discontinuities in its rate of change when the armature moves. Occurrences of the discontinuities are used to produce control signals and coordinate operation of the solenoids and other controllable events. Occurrence of these discontinuities exactly correlates with armature motion. Consequently, time lapse between application of voltage and motion of the armature becomes inconsequential in design of a control system. In other words, control and coordination of operation of high-speed solenoids can be performed without consideration of uncertainties of the time lapse. In an exemplary illustration, the invention is applied to controlling speed of a turbine generator of a type used in space vehicles. High-speed solenoids are used to control bursts of hydrogen and oxygen flow into a combustion chamber of the turbine generator. Speed control is maintained by controlling a rate and duration of the bursts.

摘要： A fail-safe control system for controlling valves in power generation systems is presented. The AC-coupled, rectified signal supplied to one valve is disabled in the event that the other valve fails. This failure is sensed, for example, through the use of power sensing circuitry configured to sense and multiply the voltage and current applied to the valve. Components such as capacitors and transformers are used exclusively such that only AC power (and not DC power) is transferred, ensuring that, in the worst case, the valves are disabled in the event of a failure.

摘要： Peep hole security systems and methods are provided including a threaded optical shaft having a bezel with a security pin extending from an interior surface of the bezel and a threaded interlocking cylinder including an interior flange. An optical shaft hole in a door receives the threaded optical shaft and a security pin hole in the door receives the security pin. The threaded optical shaft is then engaged with the threaded interlocking cylinder until the interior surface of the bezel contact the exterior surface of the door and the interior flange of the threaded interlocking cylinder contacts the interior surface of the door. Attempts to rotate the threaded optical shaft are prevented by the engagement of the security pin with the door.
