摘要:
A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium has a coil and an armature moveable toward a forward position, in response to the electromagnetic field produced by activation of the coil. A piston is moveable axially within a piston channel to a forward position, in response to movement of the armature to its forward position. The armature and piston are moved toward a retracted position, when the coil is not energized. In the retracted position of the piston, a piston chamber is formed between the piston and a valve member and is filled with infusion medium. As the piston is moved to its forward position, the piston chamber volume is reduced and pressure within the piston chamber increases to a point where the pressure moves the valve member into an open position through an outlet.

A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium. A coil surrounds a piston channel. An armature is located adjacent the coil. The armature is moveable toward a forward position in response to the electromagnetic field produced by activation of the coil. A piston located within the piston channel is moveable within the channel to a forward position in response to movement of the armature. The armature and piston are moved toward a retracted position when the coil is not energized. In the retracted position, a piston chamber formed between the piston and a valve member is filled with infusion medium. As the piston is moved to its forward position, piston chamber volume is reduced and pressure within the piston chamber increases and moves the valve member into an open position. Medium from the piston chamber is then discharged into an outlet chamber.

A compliant foil fluid film thrust bearing including a thrust disk rotor, fluid foils, spring foils, a thrust plate, and a housing thrust surface The non-rotating but compliant fluid foils, mounted on the thrust plate and/or housing thrust surface and positioned adjacent to the thrust disk, have open faced channels that induce regenerative vortex flow patterns in the process fluid. The multiple spring foils together provide a tilting pad support for the fluid foils but allow them to follow the axial and overturning motion of the thrust disk. The interaction of the tilting pad underspring supports and the circumferential fluid pressure gradients in the process fluid between the fluid foils and the thrust disk rotor assure that the fluid foils will assume hydrodynamically efficient convex shapes on the surfaces adjacent to the rotor regardless of the load applied to the thrust bearing.

A gaseous fuel compression and control system is disclosed which utilizes one or more helical flow compressor/turbine integrated with a permanent magnet motor/generator and driven by a torque controlling inverter to compress or expand gaseous fuels, precisely control fuel pressure and flow, and precisely control the operations (speed, combustion temperature and output power) of a gaseous fuel fired turbogenerator.

A flywheel rotor used in a flywheel energy storage system providing a high energy storage capacity while providing an ample volume for a high power motor-generator within its envelope includes an outer, primarily cylindrical body having conically tapered end sections, a conical hub section attached to the outer body, and a relatively short inner cylinder, which cylinder connects shaft to the inner portion of the conical hub section. In an exemplary case, the individual components are predominantly constructed of filament wound fiber composites while allowing material choices to be driven by both cost and performance. According to one aspect of the rotor, the inner portion of the inner cylinder can be a slotted aluminum cylinder.

A flywheel support system isolates the flywheel and its motor-generator from the driving environment of an electrically powered motor vehicle. A suitable liquid, placed between the outer and vacuum housings of the flywheel assembly, provides buoyancy and damping to the vacuum housing, cooling of the motor-generator, and serves as one of the barriers to rotor energy and angular momentum transfer in the event of an accident or failure. During normal operation, a shearable mechanical gimbal system keeps the vacuum housing centered in the outer housing, reacts the spin moments generated by the motor-generator, and provides a path for the electrical leads into the vacuum housing. In the event of bearing seizure or rotor failure, the mechanical gimbal will shear and allow the vacuum housing to gradually spin down against the fluid. A system of both active and passive axial and radial magnetic bearings supports the rotating assembly including the rotor of the motor-generator. Rotor-stator gap proximity sensors, strategically placed along the axis, permit a minimum gap to be used in the motor-generator. The placement of the center of gravity of the vacuum housing and its contents below the center of buoyancy produces a vertical orientation of the housing in the absence of accelerations, thus minimizing the power consumed by the magnetic support system when the vehicle is parked.

A compliant foil hydrodynamic fluid film thrust bearing is disclosed which is comprised of a two sided thrust disk rotating element, compliant fluid foil members that axially enclose the rotating element, compliant spring foil members that axially enclose the fluid foil members, a spacer ring that coaxially surrounds the thrust disk and is axially disposed between the fluid foil members, and a compliantly mounted and spring preloaded thrust plate element and a foil retaining bearing housing with an inwardly facing thrust surface that together axially enclose the spring foil members, the fluid foil members and the spacer ring. The foils have self shimming rings at their peripheries and are formed by chemical etching from flat sheets. The fluid foils are subsequently coated with a wear resistant coating and then cold stamped to imboss compound curve profiles into the fluid foil to form wedge channels which induce vortex fluid flow patterns in the bearing's working fluid.

A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium a coil capable of being electrically activated to provide an electromagnetic field. The coil surrounds a piston channel extending in an axial direction. An armature is located adjacent the coil, on one side of the axial channel. The armature is moveable toward a forward position, in response to the electromagnetic field produced by activation of the coil. A piston is located within the piston channel and is moveable axially within the channel to a forward position, in response to movement of the armature to its forward position. The armature and piston are moved toward a retracted position, when the coil is not energized. The armature may be configured with a reduced diameter by including a coil cup for supporting the coil including a shelf portion defining at least a portion of a pole surface of the coil cup.
摘要:
A piston-type drive mechanism in combination with a positive pressure reservoir for delivery of infusion medium. A coil capable of being electrically activated to provide an electromagnetic field. The coil surrounds a piston channel extending in an axial direction. The piston channel provides a passage for communication of infusion medium from the positive pressure reservoir to an outlet chamber. A piston is located within the piston channel and is moveable axially within the channel to a forward position. The piston is moved toward a retracted position, when the coil is not energized. As the piston is moved to its forward position, pressure moves a valve member into an open position. When the valve member is in the open position, medium from the piston chamber is discharged into the outlet chamber. An outlet is provided in flow communication with the outlet chamber, for discharging infusion medium from the outlet chamber.
