摘要:
An electromagnetic actuator and an automatic recloser incorporating such actuator are disclosed. The actuator is shown to include a housing, a permanent magnet member, a coil, an armature, mounted to move axially within the housing between first and second positions, and a non-magnetic spacer. The armature, when in the second position, is spaced a distance from the housing by the spacer. The spacer is mounted to stop movement of the armature in the second position. In the preferred embodiment, the permanent magnet member includes a core and a number of magnet segments attached thereto. It is especially preferred for each of the permanent magnet segments to be arcuate shaped and that each segment be polarized substantially radially or in a direction parallel to the center radius of each segment. In a preferred embodiment, the housing is formed from a material having a high permeability and the spacer is formed from material having a relative permeability close to one or from a substantially non-magnetic material, such as acetal resin.The circuit recloser is shown to include the bistable magnetic actuator, a contact switch, a connecting member, connected between the actuator the contact switch and a spring, connected to bias the connecting member in relation to the contact switch. When the actuator is in its second position the end of the connecting member is spaced from the end of the contact switch, i.e., over travel is present. An indicator is provided for indicating whether the contact switch is open or closed.

A wind turbine shaft includes tubes that are centered on a longitudinal axis, coupled to rotate together about the axis, and movable telescopically along the axis between a retracted condition and an extended condition. A mounting structure is configured to mount wind turbine vanes on the tubular structure when the tubes are in the extended condition. A generator has a pair of parts including a rotor and a stator, and is configured for coupling with the tubular structure for one of the parts to rotate about the axis with the tubular structure while the other part is stationary.

A quarter wave coaxial cavity resonator for producing corona discharge plasma from is presented. The quarter wave coaxial cavity resonator has a folded cavity made of opposing concentric cavity members that are nested together to form a continuous cavity ending in a aperture. A center conductor with a tip is positioned in the cavity. The folded cavity advantageously permits the coaxial cavity resonator to resonate at a lower operating frequency than an unfolded quarter wave coaxial cavity resonator of the same length. Embodiments of the quarter wave coaxial cavity resonator use narrower apertures to reduce radiative losses, and include center conductors that are reactive load elements, such as helical coils. When a radio frequency (RF) oscillation is produced in the quarter wave coaxial cavity resonator, corona discharge plasma is formed at the tip of the center conductor. The corona discharge plasma can be used to ignite combustible materials in combustion chambers of combustion engines.

In one embodiment, a processor can operate in multiple modes, including a direct execution mode and an emulation execution mode. More specifically, the processor may operate in a partial emulation model in which source instruction set architecture (ISA) instructions are directly handled in the direct execution mode and translated code generated by an emulation engine is handled in the emulation execution mode. Embodiments may also provide for efficient transitions between the modes using information that can be stored in one or more storages of the processor and elsewhere in a system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A non-invasive method for determining and characterizing the presence of damage or abnormalities resulting from or concomitant with systemic hypertension in subject. This method is comprised of the acquisition of ocular image(s) and subsequent evaluation, classification and/or interpretation of these image(s). The ocular image(s) may be acquired by photography. Evaluation, classification, and/or interpretation may be automated or involve the active participation of a human. The ocular images may be classified into either a normal or clinical group or compared to an algorithm of hypertensive symptoms. The ocular images may, additionally, be processed and have the pertinent characteristics extracted to make the classification more exact.

A glider including a center section configured to receive and support an operator thereon, and a pair of air-foil shaped wings extending generally outwardly from the center section. The glider is configured such that when the glider supports the operator thereon the glider is glidable down an incline in the ground effect zone of the incline, and is configured such that the glider cannot sustainably glide above the ground effect zone.
摘要:
A method of monitoring a subject for medical conditions includes causing light to impinge on at least one eye of the subject, directing reflected light from such light beam to photosensors, converting the received reflected light to corresponding electrical signals which are delivered to a processor. Processing the signals by effecting a comparison between stored information regarding the medical condition and the data provided by the monitoring to determine if an undesired medical condition exists and, if so, communicating such result. The cycle is repeated at predetermined intervals which may be short or prolonged. The stored information may be information relating to the specific subject or general information regarding normal and abnormal conditions of the eye representative of toxicity. The eyes may be monitored sequentially or simultaneously. Related apparatus is provided.
摘要:
A panel, preferably a ceiling panel, for an arc resistant cabinet defines at least one flap dimensioned and configured to bend outward in response to excessive pressure within the cabinet. The flap is bent into a position wherein it will direct high temperature, expanding gases exiting the cabinet away from areas where personnel are likely to be located. The panel also includes a frame below the flap, thereby permitting the entire panel, including the flap, to support the weight of people working on top of the cabinet.

An electromagnetic antenna includes a multiply connected surface, such as a toroidal surface; a first conductive loop proximate to the toroidal surface; a second conductive loop proximate to the toroidal surface; first and second signal carrying terminals electrically or magnetically connected to the first and second conductive loops, respectively; and a plurality of conductive transceiver elements, such as plural pairs of contrawound insulated conductor windings. Each pair of the contrawound insulated conductor windings has a first end, a plurality of turns, and a second end, and extends around and at least partially about the toroidal surface. Each pair of these windings is electrically connected to the first and second conductive loops. The first end of the windings is electrically connected to one of the first and second conductive loops, and the second end of the windings is electrically connected to the other of the first and second conductive loops.
摘要:
A vector processing system which uses vector masks to determine whether or not to perform operations on operands corresponding to bit positions within the mask is disclosed. An approximation of the number of no-operation representative bits in a vector mask register is made, and such bits are skipped to improve the performance of vector mask based operations. The number of consecutive no-op representative bits, as represented by zero values, skipped is a power of two to simplify the circuitry and logic involved in skipping such operations.
