Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention discloses a dual-stiffness damping system for an evacuated energy storage system, the damping system comprising one or more flexible dampers and a plurality of more rigid bumpers, and a method of damping an evacuated energy storage system using dual-stiffness damping. Indeed, under normal operating conditions, a flexible damper, having a stiffness of about 500 lb/in to about 4000 lb/in, minimizes the rigid body critical speed of the rotor assembly of the energy storage system, allowing relative displacement between the stator assembly and rotor assembly but preventing the assemblies from physically contacting each other. Under more extreme external loading conditions, e.g., during an earthquake, the plurality of more rigid bumpers, having a stiffness of about 50,000 to 250,000 lb/in, engages the outer race of the bearing assembly to arrest further relative displacement substantially. In another aspect of the present invention, the dual stiffness damping system is combined with a bearing assembly and a mounting unit to produce a self-contained damping system that can be quickly and easily installed and replaced.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant de surveiller l'état structurel d'un composant d'un ensemble rotor d'hélicoptère. Ce système comprend un capteur piézo-électrique. Des techniques d'émission acoustique permettent de reconnaître les ondes de contrainte à fréquence relativement élevée associées à la propagation de fissures ou de défauts dans un composant d'ensemble rotor. Un conditionneur de signaux traite le signal du capteur et produit un signal de sortie qui comprend au moins une caractéristique indiquant le contenu du signal du capteur et, par conséquent, l'état structurel de l'article d'intérêt. Un analyseur de signal utilise le signal de sortie du processeur de signaux pour déterminer l'état structurel du composant.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating an anal or urinary incontinent patient includes a constriction device is applied on the patient's large intestine or urethra. The constriction device includes an elongate adjustable constriction member extending in a loop around and consisting the large intestine or urethra. An adjustment device adjusts the longitudinal extension of the constriction member in the loop to close the intestinal or urethral lumen and release the large intestine or urethra to open the intestinal or urethral lumen. A layer of a soft viscoelastic material extends between the constriction device and the patient's large intestine or urethra to protect the large intestine or urethra from being eroded by the constriction device. The soft layer has an inwardly directed radial extension in the loop such that when the adjustment device is operated to decrease the longitudinal extension of the constriction member, the layer is forced to expand radially inwardly in the loop causing a corresponding decrease in the cross-sectional area of the intestinal or urethal lumen.

Abstract: The outer peripheral surface of a swing piston (28) is formed in a non-circular form. The inner peripheral surface of a cylinder chamber (25) is formed on a basis of an envelope curve of the outer peripheral surface of the swing piston (28) obtained at the time of its swing. The outer peripheral surface of the swing piston (28) and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder chamber (25) are formed in, e.g., an ovoid shape so that as compared to the case in which such inner and outer peripheral surfaces are formed in a circular form, a shorter compression cycle and a longer discharge cycle can be obtained at the time of swing of the swing piston (28). As a result, an overcompression loss when a refrigerant is discharged in a swing compressor can be reduced. <IMAGE>
