Title: Wind turbine
IPC: F03D7/04
Filed: 1981-05-05
Abstract: Yaw trimming in large wind turbines is achieved by pivotally mounting the blades 6 to the turbine hub about teeter axis 39 such that blade movement into and out of the wind results in an adjustment in blade pitch relative to wind direction. Yaw imbalance of the hub resulting from vertical wind velocity gradients is thus minimised. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-819156-A (GB)
Abstract: 819,156. Making tinsel conductors. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. May 3, 1957 [May 8, 1956], No. 14172/57. Class 109 A method of making a flexible electrical conductor of the type having one or more strands of filamentary conductive material wound around a core of textile material comprises simultaneously rotating and advancing the core longitudinally and directing one or more strands of conductive material around it so that motion of the core causes the strands to be wrapped helically on the core and then loosened. A strand 62 of textile material is drawn from a package mounted on a felt pad 63 for rotation with and relative to a shaft 36 driven by a gear 11 from a motor 10. The strand passes through apertures 56, 57 in a guide 55 and through apertures 65, 67, 66 to a bore 80 in a shaft 70, and metallic tapes 97 from fixed spools 92 are guided over sheaves 101 adjustably mounted on arms 102 and applied to the rotating strand 62 between the shafts 36 and 70. The shaft 70, rotated at the same speed as the shaft 36 by a gear 12, has rigidly attached a flyer with a rotatable sheave 76 over which the conductor 100 passes after leaving the bore 80 and before being wound round a capstan 90 rotated by a gear 13 rotating faster than the gears 11, 12. On leaving the capstan 90, the conductor passes over a rotatable sheave 77 on the flyer 75 and through a bore 82 in the shaft 70 to be wound up by a ring and traveller device, the take-up spool being driven by a gear rotating slower than the gears 11, 12 to effect a slight loosening of the tapes 97 on the core 62. The ring is raised and lowered by a follower attached to the ring engaging a heat-cam driven by an electric motor separate from that driving the take-up spool and gears 11, 12, 13.

Title: Pipe alignment apparatus
IPC: E21B19/16
Filed: 1982-02-08
Abstract: A pipe alignment tool includes upper and lower pipe clamp assemblies (28, 26) having hinged jaws and connected together in axial alignment by hydraulic cylinders (34, 35) that are selectively operable to adjust the extent of vertical separation of the clamp assemblies. A set of slips (122) on the lower clamp assembly (26) grip the upper end of a pipe joint extending into a well, and a set of rollers (85) on the upper clamp assembly (28) grip the lower end of a pipe joint suspended thereabove in order to hold the adjacent threaded ends of the pipe in precise axial alignment. One of the rollers (85) is driven by a motor (125) to cause the suspended pipe joint to be rotated as the cylinders (34, 35) are operated to slowly lower the suspended pipe joint relative to the first-mentioned pipe joint to at least partially make up the threaded connection. Alternatively, the upper and lower assemblies each have vertically movable sets of slips wedged to grip the pipes. The upper assembly has the slips on a ring rotated by a motor for threading-up. <IMAGE>

Title: Measuring pipe lengths
Inventor: ROBERTS ROYCE GLEN
IPC: G01S15/00
Filed: 1983-05-10
Abstract: A hand-held, digital display instrument 26 which, when activated, automatically measures, displays and records the lengths of tubular goods, such as joints of tubing or casing. Two separate hand-held units 26, 30 are positioned at opposite ends of the joint 12 of pipe to be measured or tallied. One of the units 26 automatically transmits from an antenna arrangement a distance measuring signal 28, computes the length I1 of the joint, displays the length in feet and tenths on a digital readout, records the length on a print-out tape, and incorporates a cumulative memory register. The other unit 30, positioned at the opposite end 24 of the joint to be tallied, reflects the transmitted distance measuring signal back to the first unit 26 for the length computation. Joint lengths are tallied, one after another, and the total lengths are sequentially, automatically calculated while the cumulative totals are displayed and recorded. <IMAGE>
