Title: Wave energy converters (WECs) with linear electric generators (LEGs).
Inventor: TAYLOR GEORGE W
IPC: H02K35/02
Filed: 2005-03-15
Granted: 2011-06-23
Abstract: An ocean wave energy converter (WEC) utilizes the relative motion between permanent magnet(22) and induction coil assemblies(24) to generate electricity. The permanent magnet assemblies(22) and induction coil assemblies(24) are separately housed in watertight enclosures, enabling a wide range of wave energy converter configurations, nearly unlimited stroke and obviating the need for a common magnet/coil enclosure with seals. The magnet assemblies(22) are constructed with surface or buried magnets. The wave motion moves a magnet assembly relative to a stationary coil assembly, or vice versa. Either the magnet assembly(22) or the induction coil assembly(24) are made long enough to provide the generation of electricity over a desired operational range of travel. Various means are provided to maintain the spacing ("gap") between the magnetic(22) and coil assemblies(24) relatively constant.

Title: Temperature control for free-piston cryocooler with gas bearings
Inventor: HOLLIDAY EZEKIEL S
IPC: F25B9/00
Filed: 2005-03-25
Granted: 2008-12-18
Abstract: A cryocooler having two operating modes so that its operating range is broadened, its gas bearing system is maintained in an operable state and it can utilize piston stroke modulation for energy efficiency. A piston stroke modulator modulates the piston stroke when the commanded piston stroke exceeds the minimum stroke and maintains the minimum stroke when the commanded stroke is less than the minimum stroke. A heater applies heater power to the thermal load when the commanded piston stroke is less than the minimum piston stroke. A closed loop feedback control system is used which has two branches of its dynamic leg. One branch controls the modulation of the cryocooler and the second, parallel branch controls the modulation of the heater.
