    摘要: A drive apparatus (10) for propelling a vehicle across a body of water is described. The apparatus (10) comprises a prime mover, for example a gas turbine engine (12), and a propelling arrangement (26) driven by the prime mover for propelling the vehicle across the body of water and thereby provide a reaction force on the prime mover. The apparatus (10) also includes a braking arrangement (42) to apply a braking force to the propelling arrangement (26).

    摘要: With an active magnetic bearing 1 there is a limit to the available rapidity of response to transient loadings upon a target or rotor 4. Thus, in accordance with the present invention, storage devices 25, 125, 225, 35 hold an electrical voltage VS significantly greater than the normal supply voltage V provided by a normal electrical source 22, 32. In such circumstances when a very large transient loading is detected on the bearing 1 a switch 26, 37 discharges the supply voltage VS across the coil 23, 33 in order that a more rapid increase and higher value inductance current IT is presented to the coil 22, 32 in response to that variable loading upon the target/rotor 24, 34. The electrical discharge from the storage device 25, 125, 225, 35 can be adjusted using the switch 26, 37 or mixing the storage devices 25, 125, 225, 35 as required for an appropriate discharge signal shape. Generally, the active magnetic bearing 21, 31 is controlled by a controller device which monitors target/rotor 24, 34 position in order to determine transient loading and therefore switching of the storage device 25, 125, 225, 35.

    摘要: An anchorless boat positioning system for establishing and maintaining a boat at a selected geographic location without the use of a conventional anchor. In one embodiment, a steerable thruster is used whose thrust and steering direction are determined and controlled on the basis of position information signals received from global positioning system (GPS) satellites, relative steering angle between the boat and the thruster and boat heading indication signals from a magnetic compass. The system continuously monitors the position and heading of the boat and compares it with the stored coordinates of the selected anchoring location(s) to generate control signals for the steerable motor. Several modes of operation are disclosed and Euler transformations for offset antenna placement for error reduction are taught. Proportional, integral, and derivative control (PID) of four constants of vessel control is also provided. Multiple thrusters in various arrangements are also provided to control either the orientation of the boat or a second point of interest on the boat at a second geographic location.

    摘要: A radar controlled automatic target illumination system for marine and other moving vessels. A radar system operably connected to the vessel produces an electronic signal corresponding to an azimuth of a target relative to, and in proximity to the vessel. An array of lights are connected to the vessel, each light being aimed outwardly in a different lighting sector, the sectors being adjacent one to another around the vessel, each of said lights, when automatically activated, illuminating one lighting sector. An electronic processor is operably connected between the radar system and the array of lights for the automatic selective activation of one or more of the lights to illuminate the target within a corresponding lighting sector which the radar system has identified.
