Title: System for monitoring a plurality of sensors
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN TIMOTHY ALLEN
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2009-03-10
Abstract: A monitoring system (30) for detecting faults in an apparatus (10), such as a ski lift, employs a communication network (37,38) onto which a sensor bus controller (36) periodically transmits a safety message and receives a echo of each safety message. Different sensors (25) are coupled to sensor adapter modules (31,32,33) that in turn are connected in a series to the communication network. After the last senso r adapter module (33) in the series, each safety message is echoed back along the communication network. Each sensor adapter module (31,32,33), upon receiving a safety message, increments a count in that message and transmits the resulta nt safety message to another module. When a sensor (25) indicates a fault condition, t he associated sensor adapter module (31,32,33) blocks propagation of safety messages along the communication network (37,38). The sensor bus controller determine s, in response to a failure to receive the echo and to the count in the echo, whether a fault occurred.

Title: Arrangement for sealing between two parts of a hydraulic turbomachine moveable relative to one another
Inventor: GITTLER PHILIPP
IPC: F03B11/00
Filed: 2007-10-22
Abstract: Owing to the operating states in turbomachinery, effective and at the same time simple seals between parts of turbomachinery such as this which can move relative to one another, for example a rotor of a turbine and a turbine casing, have been impossible, or possible only in a highly restricted form. As a consequence, it was necessary to accept certain efficiency losses caused by gap-water and friction losses. In the case of known seals, in which a sealing element floats on two hydrostatic bearings with respect to parts which can move relative to one another, which hydrostatic bearings are virtually sealed and are nevertheless of very simple design, large sealing water pumps are required, however, in order to make it possible to provide the pressures which are required for operation of a seal such as this. The present invention overcomes this problem by providing a restriction device (37) in the hydraulic connection (30) between the first hydraulic bearing (22) and the second hydraulic bearing (23), which restriction device (37) makes it possible to set a pressure loss of at least 1%, preferably at least 5% and preferably at least 10% between the first hydraulic bearing (22) and the second hydraulic bearing (23), with respect to the pressure difference (po-pu) which is to be sealed and exists in the vicinity of the sealing element (20).
