Abstract: A method of delivering electrical energy to a point in an electrical power grid, the method including the steps of accessing a source of energy at a first location and converting the energy into a form of transportable energy. The next step is transporting the transportable energy from the first location to the point on said electrical power grid at a second locati on having a need for additional electrical power without the transportable energy going through the electrical power grid to get to the point. The next step is converting the form of transportable energy into electrical energy suitable for connecting to the power grid and discharging the electrical energy into the power grid at the second location. A system for delivering electrical energy is also provided. The transportable energy preferably takes the form of charged electrolytes, compressed air or thermal storage units, transported, for example, by way of trains.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the present provide techniques for virtualizing, simulating or providing multiple displays for an environment having one display device or less display devices than desired. The techniques of the present invention virtualize a client's display environment by modifying and controlling the behavior and appearance of an application window displayed on the client based on a desired display layout for the client. The present invention provides a window message processing mechanism to intercept a selected message to a window of an application. The window message processing mechanism compares the behavior and appearance of the window in view of the desired display layout and modifies the message to display the window on the client based on the desired display layout. As such, the present invention processes selected window messages to translate the behavior or appearance of the window to the desired display layout.

IPC: H02M7/12
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: An apparatus in an electronic control system allows two or three wire operations. A power supply (150) can supply power to the enclosed circuity in both two and three wire installations. Two separate zero cross detectors are used such that timing information can be collected in both two or three wire installations. Both zero cross detectors (110) are monitored and are used to automatically configure the electronic control. Over voltage circuity senses an over voltage condition across a MOSFET which is in the off state and turns the MOSFET on so that it desirably will not reach the avalanche region. Over current circuity senses when the current through the MOSFET's has exceeded a predetermined current threshold and then turns the MOSFETs off so they do not exceed the MOSFETs' safe operating area (SOA) curve. Latching circuity (120) is employed to keep the protection circuity in effect even after a fault condition has cleared. Lockout circuity (130) is used to prevent one protection circuit from tripping after the other circuit has already tripped from a fault condition. The protection circuity output is desirably configured such that it can bypass and override the normal turn on and turn off impedance and act virtually directly on the gates of the MOSFETs. Preferably, the system has a high effiiciency switching type power supply in parallel with a low frequency controllably conductive device.

Abstract: The insulator comprises a lower bell shaped portion, an intermediate annular waist portion and an upper saddle portion for receiving and supporting an electric transmission overhead cable. An axial blind bore opens at its lower end for receiving an upstanding support pin. The saddle portion includes a transversely-curved groove, substantially normal to the axial bore, and jutting parts on each side of the cable receiving groove and laterally protruding from the waist portion. Each jutting part has an external face which is provide with a partly annular groove, generally coaxial with the bore and of greater radius than that of the waist portion. These annular grooves are adapted to positively retain the inturned flanges of a cable retaining clasp despite an upward force or a laterally upwardly directed force exerted by the cable on the clasp. The waist portion can still be used for attaching the electric wire by a tie-wire. The clasp includes male/female joints at each of its two downwardly curved arms that automatically interlock with each other when a sufficient biasing force is applied thereon by a pneumatic tool deforming the clasp arms, drawing the registering flanges of the latter toward one another to lock the insulator to the overhead electric cable.
