Title: Enhancement of vortex induced forces and motion through surface roughness control
Inventor: BERNITSAS MICHAEL M
IPC: F03B5/00
Filed: 2008-05-23
Abstract: Roughness is added to the surface of a bluff body in a relative motion with respect to a fluid. The amount, size, and distribution of roughness on the body surface is controlled passively or actively to modify the flow around the body and subsequently the Vortex Induced Forces and Motion (VIFM). The added roughness, when designed and implemented appropriately, affects in a predetermined way the boundary layer, the separation of the boundary layer, the level of turbulence, the wake, the drag and lift forces, and consequently the Vortex Induced Motion (VIM), and the fluid-structure interaction. The goal of surface roughness control is to increase Vortex Induced Forces and Motion. Enhancement is needed in such applications as harnessing of clean and renewable energy from ocean/river currents using the ocean energy converter VIVACE (Vortex Induced Vibration for Aquatic Clean Energy).

Abstract: Appareil de reproduction à laser servant à reproduire les données enregistrées sur un support d'enregistrement tel qu'un disque optique ou un disque photomagnétique en l'irradiant avec un faisceau laser. Dans cet appareil, la valeur d'un signal de commande d'une diode laser (12) est régulée de sorte qu'elle soit voisine d'une valeur à laquelle les conditions d'irradiation par le faisceau laser sont moins perturbées par la lumière renvoyée, l'irradiation par le faisceau laser produit par la diode laser (12) en fonction de la valeur régulée est effectuée par intermittence à des intervalles déterminés, et une seule période de l'irradiation ne permet pas l'écriture sur le support d'enregistrement (11) à la valeur régulée. Par conséquent, le faisceau laser ne subit que peu de perturbations par la lumière réfléchie par le support d'enregistrement (11), ce qui se traduit par une bonne reproduction des données. En outre, le circuit de commande de la diode laser (12) est simplifié.

Patent EP-0539364-A4 (EP)
IPC: G01D5/241
Filed: 1990-07-19
Abstract: A constant voltage is applied across a variable capacitor (503) coupled to a rotating shaft (S). As the shaft (S) rotates, the capacitance of the variable capacitor (503) changes -  causing a displacement current to flow into and out of the variable capacitor (503) in response to shaft (S) rotation. A current-to-voltage converter (501, 502, 504) converts the displacement current to a voltage level responsive to instantaneous shaft velocity. The resulting shaft rotation analyzer is so sensitive that it can detect ''signatures'' of shaft (S) rotation (e.g., shaft speed variations attributable to electric motor commutator contact, cogging variations, and the like). Various techniques and structures are used to reduce ''fringing effects'', increase the linearity of the capacitance change, and reduce variations in capacitance due to shaft axial movement.

Title: Magnetooptical recording medium
IPC: G11B11/105
Filed: 1990-11-08
Abstract: An over-writable magnetooptical recording medium which comprises a substrate; magnetooptical recording layer disposed on the substrate and having a Curie point Tc1 and coercive force Hc1 at room temperature; an auxiliary recording layer disposed on the magnetooptical recording layer and having a Curie point Tc2 and coercive force Hc2 at room temperature; and a heat sink layer disposed on the side of the auxiliary recording opposite to the substrate and having a heat conductivity greater than that of the auxiliary recording layer, whereby Tc1, Tc2, Hc1 and Hc2 described above satisfy the following relation: Tc1 < Tc2, Hc1 > Hc2. Since the heat sink layer having a heat conduction coefficient greater than that of the recording auxiliary layer is disposed, the magnetooptical recording medium in accordance with the present invention can make recording at lower power PH (high power modulation beam) than in conventional over-writable magnetooptical recording media.

Title: Foam actuator for metering an aerosol product.
Inventor: NAKU VIRGIL
IPC: B65D/
Filed: 1990-12-19
Abstract: This invention relates to an actuator for metering a foam product from an aerosol container. This actuator provides a more satisfactory and efficient metering actuator than those which have gone before due to the improvement in the seals provided at several essential interfaces.

A seal is effected between a dome-shaped portion (18) of member (12) and a hub (50) on member (32) to close off the conduit (16) from the metering chamber to the discharge orifice and also between a mating annual wall (26) and recess (40) disposed on the outer portions of members (12 and 32).

IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1991-04-03
Abstract: Système de mémoire de grande capacité pour ordinateur numérique, comprenant plusieurs unités de disques (250-255) couplées à plusieurs petits tampons (240-245). Une unité de contrôle de correction d'erreur (260 et 270) est reliée à plusieurs commutateurs à barres croisées (210-215), lesquels sont connectés entre chaque unité de disques et ses tampons. Les données sont lues à partir des unités de disques et inscrites sur celles-ci en parallèle et les corrections d'erreur s'effectuent aussi en parallèle. Les commutateurs à barres croisées servent à coupler et découpler par rapport au système, autant que de besoin, les unités de disques fonctionnelles et non fonctionnelles. De même, les tampons peuvent être déconnectés du système s'ils sont défaillants. L'architecture parallèle, combinée à un dispositif de dépistage et de correction d'erreur Reed-Solomon et à des commutateurs à barres croisées, permet au système de supporter et compenser la défaillance de deux unités, quelles qu'elles soient, ce qui lui confère une capacité de tolérance élevée aux défaillances.
