Abstract: Means for measuring resistance of a power supply loop comprising a three phase, neutral pus earth cable but which also has a device for protection against power faults. The procedure comprises supply of as large a current as possible between one of the three phase conductors (L1-L3) and neutral (N) and measurement of voltage change between earth (PE) and the phase conductor with the extra supplied current and network current present. The procedure is repeated but with the current between one of the phase conductors (L1-L3) and earth (PE), so that the protection device (SS) is not triggered, while the change of voltage between neutral (N) and earth (PE) is measured with extra supplied and network current present. The loop resistance is calculated from the sums of the resistances measured from the voltage changes measured by supply of the extra current.

Abstract: An active power supply filter effectively eliminates power supply noise using a resistive element and a capacitive element coupled at a node, and a switch with a control terminal controlled by the node. The active power supply filter is suitable for high frequency operation of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) in a phase-locked loop (PLL) of a high-speed microprocessor. The active power supply filter removes VCO noise that would otherwise create jitter that reduces the effective clock cycle of the microprocessor. The active power supply filter is similarly useful in applications other than VCOs, PLLs, and microprocessors in which removal of substantial amounts of noise from the power supply is useful.

Date Oct. 16, 1997The mold includes a cooled copper body 4 on top of which sits a refractory feed head 9 which itself consists of two separate components-a thermally insulating upper bush 16 and a bottom annulus 17 made of a stronger and more compact refractory which is surrounded by a crimping ring 18 narrower than the annulus, so that an edge of the annulus extends beyond each side of the ring. As the lower inner edge of the bottom annulus becomes worn due to an erosive flow of molten metal, the working life of the annulus may be extended in two ways. First, the annulus may be removed between casting operations and its bottom surface may be faced. Second, after the facing operations have rendered the bottom surface flush with the crimping ring 18, the annulus may then be inverted so that the lower inner edge is replaced with the upper inner edge.

Abstract: A vertical axis and transversal flow nautical propulsor continuously self-orients the blades. The propulsor includes a plurality of blades rotatable about a vertical axis; a blade supporting plate for supporting the blades, wherein the blade supporting plate is rotatable about a vertical axis independent of rotation of the blades; a motor for rotating the blade supporting plate; a motor for each blade, for rotating the blade about its own vertical axis; and a rotatable shaft. The rotatable shaft is supported by a rotor body coupled with the blade supporting plate. A plurality of spindles are provided on the rotatable shaft, wherein the spindles are coaxial with one another and with the rotatable shaft. The number of spindles corresponds to the number of blades, and the spindles are rotatable independent of one another in such a way to allow independent rotation of the relevant blade. The rotatable shaft and the spindles each have an inner end within the rotor body and an outer end outside the rotor body. The inner and outer ends of each of the spindles includes first motion transfer equipment for transferring motion from the relevant electric motor to the relevant rotating blade, and the blade axis and the axis of the relevant electric motor include corresponding second motion transfer equipment for transferring motion to the first motion transfer equipment. An interface unit is provided between an operator and a propulsor electronic control unit, wherein the motors are controllable by the electronic control unit in such a way to adjust a position and an orientation of the relevant blade in order to obtain, for any operative situation, an optimal performance over an entire operative range of the propulsor.

Abstract: The belt (13) winds onto a roller in a holder (11) fixed to the vehicle chassis, being spring-loaded so as to bear lightly against the passenger. It is pulled taut on collision by an auxiliary drive mechanism (15) acting via a clutch (20) normally uncoupled on the roller in the event of a collision and typically operated by firing a pyrotechnic charge (16) generating a sudden pressure rise in a chamber (17) acting on a transmission mechanism (18). The latter has a flexible tension strip (21), preferably of spring steel coupled between the driving shaft (19), round which part of it is wound, and a point (26) in a strip chamber, so as to divide the latter into sections (23', 23"). Pressure in one section unwinds the strip from the shaft, while the other section is vented. A sealing wall (29) extends from the housing to the shaft to separate the chamber sections from each other. Seen in the direction of rotation of the shaft, the radius of the strip chamber (23) is variable.
