Patent EP-1971794-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MEYER BENOIT
IPC: F16H55/36
Filed: 2006-12-11
Abstract: L’invention concerne un dispositif d’isolation en torsion, tel qu’une poulie, isolant les variations de couple d’un arbre d’entraînement rotatif, tel qu’un vilebrequin d’un moteur à combustion interne. Le dispositif comprend un organe de moyeu intérieur (22) destiné à s’accoupler à l’arbre d’entraînement et une jante de poulie extérieure (24) destinée à s’accoupler à un organe entraîné au moyen d’une courroie d’entraînement. Les organes (22, 24) présentent un écartement axial définissant une cavité annulaire entre des parois de l’organe de moyeu intérieur et de la jante de poulie extérieure qui s’étendent radialement et des protubérances radiales (42, 44) qui pénètrent dans la cavité annulaire pour former des première et deuxième chambres. Des éléments élastomères (50, 52) sont disposés dans chaque chambre et conçus pour créer un volume de dégagement radial et/ou axial de façon à ce que leur compression entre les protubérances radiales au cours du déplacement angulaire de l’organe de moyeu intérieur et de la jante de poulie extérieure provoque leur déformation vers l’extérieur dans ledit volume de dégagement. Cette déformation se produit dans les deux directions, si bien que le dispositif peut être utilisé avec un démarreur / alternateur. Une quantité prédéterminée de déplacement angulaire relatif de l’organe de moyeu intérieur et de la jante de poulie extérieure est absorbée dans chaque direction du fait de la déformation de l’élément respectif dans ladite chambre lors de sa compression, jusqu’à ce que le volume de dégagement soit entièrement occupé pour transmettre alors un couple de l’organe de moyeu intérieur à la jante de poulie extérieure et vice versa. Les volumes de dégagement peuvent être différents pour produire une caractéristique de transfert de couple différente dans les différentes directions de déplacement relatif.

Title: Rotor d'une eolienne avec liberte de rotation en tangage et en lacet
Inventor: SOERENSEN TOMMY
IPC: F03D7/04
Filed: 2006-12-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de régler la vitesse des pales en rotation dans le plan d’un rotor sur une éolienne, l'angle entre au moins deux pales dans le plan du rotor étant changé, ce par quoi, la vitesse en bout de pale de chaque pale individuelle peut être optimisée par rapport à la vitesse actuelle du vent que connaît la pale. Ainsi il est possible de tenir compte de la variation du vent en fonction de la hauteur au-dessus du niveau du sol, et le rendement de la turbine éolienne peut être augmenté. L'écart angulaire de chaque pale peut être changé individuellement indépendamment du reste des pales et ce, de manière cyclique. Le procédé comporte également le fait que chaque pale est accélérée quand elle monte dans un cycle de rotation et est décélérée quand elle descend. D'autres détails sont divulgués à propos d'un système de commande des pales dans une turbine éolienne comportant un ou plusieurs anémomètres, indicateurs de position, et/ou accéléromètres, en fonction desquels on effectue la commande paramétrique de l'écart angulaire de chaque pale dans le plan du rotor.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispersant pour une dispersion aqueuse de particules solides négativement chargées ou chargeables lequel comprend un composé ayant une entité d'ancrage reliée à une entité hydrophile polymérique, l'entité d'ancrage contenant au moins un groupe basique et ayant une basicité globale et l'entité polymérique ayant une affinité plus faible pour la surface des particules que l'entité d'ancrage. L'entité d'ancrage peut contenir jusqu'à trois groupes basiques, de préférence des groupes diméthylamino ou éthylamino. Celle-ci est reliée à l'entité polymérique, laquelle est de préférence dérivée d'une unité monomère de type acrylamide substitué ou non substitué, de préférence via un atome de soufre. Le dispersant peut réduire la viscosité d'une dispersion aqueuse de particules négativement chargées ou chargeables, tout en maintenant le pH à une valeur inférieure ou égale à environ 9 et il peut réduire la tendance de la dispersion résultante à former un gel ou une matière en limite d'écoulement. Le dispersant facilite la transformation des compositions résultantes dans des opérations de fabrication et on peut l'utiliser, par exemple, comme composant d'une matière de revêtement, d'une céramique, d'une peinture, d'une matière réfractaire, d'une matière de charge ou dans un papier ou film pour l'impression par jet d'encre. En plus, le dispersant peut permettre l'utilisation de concentrations plus élevées de particules solides et permet d'ajuster la limite d'écoulement, dans la mesure où un peu d'écoulement est souvent avantageux pour aider à empêcher ou à réduire la sédimentation.

Abstract: A control input for operating an actual vehicle actuator and a control input for operating a vehicle model are determined by an FB distribution law 20 on the basis of a difference between a reference state amount determined by a vehicle model 16 and an actual state amount of an actual vehicle 1 (state amount error) such that the state amount error is approximated to zero, and then an actuator device 3 of the actual vehicle 1 and the model vehicle 16, respectively, are operated on the basis of the control inputs. The FB distribution law 20 estimates an external force acting on the actual vehicle 1 due to a control input for operating an actual vehicle actuator, and determines a control input for operating the vehicle model on the basis of the estimated value and a basic value of a control input for operating the vehicle model for approximating the state amount error to zero. Thus, a vehicle control device capable of enhancing robustness against disturbance factors or their changes while performing operation control of actuators that is suited to behaviors of an actual vehicle as much as possible is provided.

Abstract: To remove the rotor for a large electrical machine is costly and time consuming. Especially the outage time of a power plant, which is needed for the removal of a generator rotor is very expensive and should be minimized. To avoid opening of the generator for inspection and maintenance instrument carriages can be used. 
     The main objective of the present invention is to provide a new method, which allows the reliable guidance for an in-situ instrument carrier inside the annular gap of a generator and a corresponding instrument carrier. One objective of this method is to avoid the use of sensors and active control systems for the guidance of the instrument carrier. To this end a passively self-guiding system and method is proposed, which takes advantage of the internal structure of a generator and uses the passive centering properties of magnets to guide the instrument carrier through the annular gap of a generator.
