Abstract: Plastic container (110), including a side wall (120) and a flexible portion (132) of a base (130). The flexible portion of the base deflects when the sealed plastic container experiences a differential pressure. The deflection of the flexible portion of the base acts to change the internal volume of the container and thereby reduce the differential pressure. The container is a retortable container. The container may be injection-molded with inner and outer plastic layers (460,462) and a core layer (464) between the inner and outer plastic layers.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a shrouded fluid turbine that generates large wake expansion to generate power coefficients greater than the Betz power coefficient of 16/27 based on maximum system area. The Virtual Diffuser Wind Turbine (VDWT) system operates differently with, and without power extraction. With power extraction the VDWT system includes a high rotor thrust coefficient combined with an annular shroud system that uses bypass flow to form an annular, high-energy bypass flow stream that flows outward at the exit plane of the VDWT generating an observable virtual diffuser downstream therefrom. This outward, high-energy flow reduces exit plane pressure generating large wake expansions. The large wake expansion increases the flow rate through the rotor. Without rotor power extraction, separation takes place which reduces some of aerodynamic loads on the VDWT at extreme winds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electrical generators, more specifically to an apparatus and method for dehumidifying the windings and insulation system of a generator. The application of low-voltage, low-frequency, high-AC-current provides precise control of the rise of temperature in the winding. The controlled temperature increase occurs uniformly over the complete length of the winding, providing uniform dehumidification of the insulation system such that connection to the inverter and power production occurs without risk of damage to the insulation system.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fluid turbines having a turbine shroud assembly formed with mixing elements (e.g., both inwardly and outwardly curving elements) having airfoil cross sections. These airfoils form ringed airfoil shapes that provide a means of controlling the flow of fluid over the rotor assembly or over portions of the rotor assembly. The fluid dynamic performance of the ringed airfoils directly affects the performance of the turbine rotor assembly. The mass and surface area of the shrouds result in load forces on support structures. By delaying or eliminating the separation of the boundary layer over the ringed airfoils, boundary layer energizing members (e.g., vortex generators, flow control ports) on the ringed airfoils increase the power output of the fluid turbine system and allow for relatively shorter chord- length airfoil cross sections and therefore reduced mass and surface area of the shroud assemblies.
