Title: Impact type wind-driven power generating device
Inventor: GUO WENLI
IPC: F03D9/00
Filed: 2011-07-28
Abstract: An impact type wind-driven power generating device is classified into a vertical shaft impact type wind-driven power generating device and a horizontal shaft impact type wind-driven power generating device. The two types of the impact type wind-driven power generating device adopt a power rotor mechanism (10) of a multi-stage impulse blade to utilize the energy of in-coming wind to the maximum extent, thereby improving the utilization of the wind energy. The energy of the in-coming wind is increased due to the height difference and the lateral exhaust of a high-altitude exhaust duct (8), so that the power rotor (10) can generate electric power at a low load even in a sunny windless day. The power generating device can be manufactured into a power generator set with large power and small volume per unit, being convenient to transport, install and maintain, thereby greatly reducing the investment cost of unit power generation amount. The power generating device can receive in-coming wind from any direction without a complicated variable propeller pitch system. A transmission system and a power generator may be arranged on the ground, which is convenient to operate and maintain. The power generating device overcomes the disadvantages of low utilization of the wind energy and the power rotor being difficult to be activated.

Patent CA-2835789-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LADOUCEUR RICHARD
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 2013-12-10
Abstract: An intermittent fluid pump is disclosed wherein a compressible fluid (gas) is introduced into a fluid storage housing containing a non-compressible fluid (liquid) thereby converting potential energy into kinetic energy that is released intermittently from a fluid transfer housing into a vertical oriented fluid discharge conveyance conduit. The gas transferred into the vertical oriented discharge conveyance conduit is provided time to form a large gas bubble that displaces the liquid thereby creating a density differential along with a forceful ascending lift. The ascending lift draws liquid into a liquid intake that is partially housed within lower section of the discharge conveyance conduit. As the liquid and the gas ascend and are discharged liquid is drawn into the storage housing forcing remaining gas volume to be transferred into discharge conveyance conduit. The complete filling of both the storage and the transfer housing with liquid temporarily interrupts any further transfer of gas into discharge conveyance conduit thereby establishing an intermittent cycling of fluid. The intermittent fluid pump can be operated separately, with a fluid distribution manifold or in combination with biofilm support substratum.

Title: Emergency back-up power system for traction elevators
Inventor: HALL JAMES C
IPC: B66B1/28
Filed: 2014-01-21
Abstract: An emergency power supply for a traction elevator system utilizes a microprocessor-based control arrangement with pulse-width modulator technology to create an efficient, cost-effective back-up power system for a traction elevator. The microprocessor-based control arrangement is used to sense a power loss, or any type of irregularity in the power supply. Upon sensing some type of power malfunction, the microprocessor-based control arrangement disconnects the elevator system from the main power source and then generates a control signal to initiate the supply of back-up power. Once the elevator electrical system has been recharged and stabilized, the microprocessor-based control arrangement will sense that recovery has occurred and will then provide an appropriate speed and direction command to the traction motor drive system.
