The inventive technology, in its various embodiments, relates to improved multi-axis input devices such as joysticks, and associated multi-axis optical displacement measurement means. Certain embodiments of the input devices may comprise elements movable with respect to each other in at least, e.g., three degrees of freedom and comprise ionically conductive elements that are utilized to generate a position signal in, e.g., at least three, or at least six degrees of freedom. Various ergonomic configurations of six axis joystick embodiments which may be facilitated by the compact design of the transducer means are disclosed. Certain embodiments of the input device technology may provide feedback (e.g., relative to force applied to an item whose position is controlled by an operator) to the operator. Means for dynamically adjusting coordinate transformations for construction machinery control are also disclosed.

The present invention discloses improved ultraviolet air sterilizers. In accordance with this invention the mean reflected light path of each photon is maximized while turbulence is suppressed in order to uniformly UVC expose all conveyed pathogen particles. This invention discloses novel means of maximizing the utilization of blower power and UVC lamp power toward the destruction of pathogens. The resulting efficiencies facilitate the construction of high flow rate air sterilization systems for large buildings while also facilitating the miniaturization of UVC air sterilization systems for incorporation into personal protective equipment (PPE).

The present invention discloses improved means of venting bottom hinged water control gates through the abutments over a wide range of tailwater elevations while minimizing the hazard of trapping water born debris in the abutment vents. A single pipe, or a plurality of pipes, may be provided. Check valves may be provided to exclude water borne trash.

The present inventions include a rotating electromagnetic machine such as a motor or generator wherein changes of flux direction adjacent the air gap are avoided. The disclosed improvements apply to permanent magnet alternators, induction motors and generators, doubly fed induction generators, and the like. Adaptation of coils to and fixation within the required slot geometries are disclosed. Excitation systems co-located within the primary rotor core and primary stator core are also disclosed. The use of rubber vulcanized to the rotor in conjunction with a stainless steel rotor sleeve is also disclosed.

The present invention is a fish passage system for use at dams. It may incorporate one or more reversible pump-turbines for controlling and generating power from downstream flow of water and fish and for pumping water and fish upstream. For low head embodiments the system may use water stored at above headwater elevation in lieu of a reversible pump turbine for moving fish and water from tailwater to headwater.

The invention relates to improved water control gates and related inflatable actuators, and associated sealing, manufacture and operation apparatus and methods. Advancements in technologies related to air fitting design, inflated bladder stress relief, inflatable bladder strength enhancement, water gate related slide friction mitigation, abutment and other impounded water seals, gate panel fabrication, traffic accommodating water impoundment structures, and water gate panel system operation efficiency, as well as nappe aeration, hinges, and bladder manufacture technology are disclosed herein.
摘要:
The present invention is a reversible pump-turbine installation position in a vertical shaft instead of in a conventional underground powerhouse or deep concrete powerhouse. The required plant cavitation coefficient may be achieved by simply boring a vertical shaft to the required depth rather than routing the water flow to and from a deeply buried powerhouse. A pneumatically controlled pressure relief valve may be incorporated into this invention.

摘要:
The invention relates to joined fiber reinforced composite structures with continuity of fiber reinforcement across adhesive-to-substrate boundaries. Use of a thermal gradient to control the extent of infusion of resin blocking substances into fiber reinforced material, and subsequent resin infusion and resin blocking substance removal, during manufacture of components to be subsequently bonded, provides partially exposed reinforcing fibers which serve to reinforce a subsequently formed joint or boundary.
