    摘要: A hydroelectric power installation including a pre-existing gated spillway with upstream bulkhead slots and bulkhead service crane and hydroelectric generating modules configured to fit the existing upstream bulkhead slots. Each module including a plurality of turbines, generators, and associated switchgear. The installation may include a trash rake operated on the pre-existing bulkhead service craneway. The hydroelectric installation is configured to meet all of the original navigation project design criteria including generating modules that can be raised above flood water as high as the associated radial gates and that are able to be safely lowered in front of a failed radial gate to serve as the emergency bulkhead the slots for which the modules exclusively occupy.

    摘要: The present invention relates to inflatable bladder actuated water control gates for control of open channels such as rivers and canals and for control of dam spillways without the need for intermediate piers. The air bladder and hinge flap wedge clamping system includes hinged engagement of the upstream edge of the clamps to the foundation so as to prevent the application of bending and shear loads to the anchor bolts. The resulting configuration facilitates the use of high strength alloy steel anchor bolts in a corrosion protected environment and also prevents tensile loading of the concrete foundation and associated cracking of the concrete foundation.

    摘要: 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 operatore. Means for dynamically adjusting coordinate transformations for construction machinery control are also disclosed.
