    摘要: A torque amplifying device that is of centrifugal or gyroscopic type and has a unidirectional drive or drives. Ths device is used to control the body of a controlled object. The controlled object can be an airplane, helicopter, land vehicle, cargo handling mechanism, earth moving machine or maritime device or vehicle. The torque amplifying devices are designed so that they supply a torque (momentum) to the body of the controlled object where it is connected. Thereby, the orientation or weight distribution of the body is controlled. The orientation is achieved without resorting to the physical properties of the surrounding environment (ground, water or air). Thus, it can apply a torque to this body in pitch, roll and/or yaw, so that it achieves the position or weight distribution the control system is calling for. The duration of the torque can be unlimited, until the conditions that produce it are intentionally changed.

    摘要: A torque converter comprises a stationary mount, input and output shafts, a primary frame (301) supported by the stationary mount for rotation about a primary axis and coupled for rotation with one of the input and output shafts (302,303), a secondary frame (50) supported by the primary frame (301) for rotation about a secondary axis perpendicular to the primary axis and coupled for rotation with the other of the input and output shafts, a plurality of flywheels (10) supported by the secondary frame (50) with their spin axes disposed at an angle to one another in the same plane, or in mutually parallel planes, and torsional springs acting between the flywheels and the secondary frame to cause the flywheels to oscillate in use, so as to effect a gyroscopic torque coupling between the primary and secondary frames. An excitation system (110) is mounted on the primary frame (301) for applying to each flywheel (50) a periodic torque that varies with the angular velocity of the secondary frame and the angular position of the axis of the flywheel relative to the secondary axis, so as to cause each flywheel to oscillate at its natural frequency in response to relative rotation between the primary and secondary frames.

    摘要: A propulsion system includes an engine and a rotating member rotatably engaging the engine. The rotating member comprises a plurality of drive members positioned around the circumference of the rotating member. Each of the drive members has an unlocked state in which the drive members apply substantially no torque to the rotating member, and a locked state, in which the drive members apply substantially a torque to the rotating member. At a selected time, a first set of the drive members are in the unlocked state and a second set of the drive members are in the locked state to provide a propulsive force.

    摘要: The invention concerns an enhanced system for the stabilization of an object with reference to a moving platform. The invention is in particular suitable for the stabilization of a shipborne optical search sensor. The system comprises a stabilization platform and a regulator. According to the invention, the regulator calculates control signals for the stabilization platform on the basis of a combination of absolute ship's angular position signals and signals produced by rate gyro systems mounted on the stabilization platform. Thus, disturbances caused by flexure of the ship's structure and the stabilization platform are effectively compensated for. Said signals are preferably combined by frequency-dependent weighting.

    摘要: A method of operating an anti-phase six degree-of-freedom tuning fork gyroscope system comprises the steps of driving a first three degree-of-freedom gyroscope subsystem, and driving a second three degree-of freedom gyroscope subsystem in an anti-phase mode with the first gyroscope subsystem at an anti-phase resonant frequency. Acceleration or an angular rate of motion is sensed by means of the first and second three degree-of-freedom gyroscope subsystems operating in a flat frequency response range where the anti-phase resonant frequency is designed. Response gain and phase are stable and environmental and fabrication perturbations are avoided by such operation. A anti-phase six degree-of-freedom tuning fork gyroscope system which operates as described is also characterized.

    摘要: An apparatus is described which reduces a time delay and a resultant phase shift in a gyroscope motor drive signal (90). The motor drive signal originates from a numerically controlled oscillator (32) whose output (60) is sampled at a predetermined rate. The apparatus includes a first element (108) which upsamples the oscillator output signal samples and a band pass filter (100) configured to receive an output from the first element and remove spectral components from the output of the first element. The apparatus further includes a third element (102) which generates a tuning parameter, β'0 (166), for tuning of the band pass filter and a scaling multiplier (112) configured to normalize an output of the filter.
