Abstract: The present invention includes a power system that is designed to provide reliable electrical power to a facility, and specifically to a telecommunications facility. The system includes a number of proton exchange membranes (PEMs) adapted to provide DC power. The system is configured so that the PEMs receive fuel from a header that is supplied by a number of hydrogen generators. Storage tanks are also included to provide hydrogen to the header if the hydrogen generators fail. The hydrogen generators receive electricity initially from an array of photovoltaic panels. If the photovoltaic panels fail then AC power from a commercial utility is provided to the hydrogen generators. Finally, the system includes a number of super capacitors that are operable to maintain power during the time required to change between power sources.

Abstract: The invention provides control of one or more operating units in an inductive power transfer (IPT) system. Each operating unit includes a pick-up coil (104) that takes power from a primary conductor or track (101) over an air gap. The operating unit is controlled by frequency modulating the primary conductor power supply (100) to send a control instruction which is decoded by the operating unit. The instruction is decoded by generating signal using a local oscillator (124) in the operating unit and using this signal to detect changes in the frequency of the current in the primary conductor (101). Applications include the control of inductively powered road-studs that include a light source (111), for independent control, for example controlling traffic on a roadway. A narrow band modulated data transmission system and method controlling of an operating unit are also provided.

Abstract: A method and device for combustion of liquid fuels is presented which uses a plurality of rotating hydrogen flames to blast atomize and ignite a mechanically dispersed stream of the liquid fuel. This combustion method and device are particularly suited for heavy oil fuels, such as vegetable oils, which are not well burned using conventional burner technologies. This combustion method involves establishing a zone of combusting hydrogen and projecting a mechanically atomized dispersion of the liquid fuel into and through this zone of combusting hydrogen. The combusting hydrogen partially vaporizes and ignites the liquid fuel while the intense turbulence of the hydrogen combustion zone further disperses any remaining liquid fuel droplets. Once ignited and dispersed, the fuel oil continues to burn as it moves away from the hydrogen combustion zone. Since only a small amount of combusting hydrogen is utilized, the hydrogen can be generated by the electrolysis of water, which produces a 2:1 molar ratio of hydrogen and oxygen, or hydroxy, gas. The device implementing this combustion method is comprised of a rotating solid shaft into which one or more fuel transport tubes are bored. A series of chambers are formed around the rotating shaft to stage the fuel oil and hydroxy gas. A  forward chamber is located nearest to the flame area to provide cooling and insulation of the middle hydrogen staging chamber. The fuel oil transport tube has one end on the surface of the shaft which opens into the fuel oil chamber. The other end is fitted with an atomizing nozzle which discharges into the combusting hydrogen zone. Each of the hydroxy gas transport tubes has one end on the surface of the shaft which opens into the hydroxy gas chamber and another end fitted with an angled tube that directs the gas back toward the axis of rotation. Multiple chambers can used to inject other liquid or gaseous streams into the combustion zone as desired. The burner is capable of economically producing heat energy using only vegetable oil, water and power input, which allows it to qualify as an all-renewable energy device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous steel casting installation for billet and bloom formats that have a substantially rectangular cross-section. The aim of the invention is to improve the strand structure in the corner areas, to avoid rhomboidity, cracks and dimensional imperfections of the strand cross-section and to achieve a high throughput capacity per strand while reducing investment and running costs. For this purpose, the fillets of the groove curvatures (12, 12', 13, 13') in the die cavity amount to at least 10 %, preferably 15 % or more of the length of the side (16) of the strand cross-section. The degree of curvature 1/R of the groove curvatures (12, 12', 13, 13') decreases in the direction of the strand at least along a partial length of the entire casting die, thereby allowing to control a targeted gap elimination between the casting shell and the casting die wall or a targeted casting shell shaping in the area of the groove curvature. The continuous casting installation, directly downstream of the casting die, is provided with a strand support-free secondary cooling zone or a supporting guide in the secondary cooling zone that is reduced in its supporting width and/or supporting length.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to a turbine vane (30) in which the inner and outer platforms (52, 54) are located substantially entirely on either the pressure side (36) or the suction side (38) of the airfoil (32). When a plurality of such vanes (30) are installed in the turbine, a seam (78) is formed by the circumferential end (56) of the inner and outer platforms (52, 54) and a portion of the airfoil (32) of a neighboring vane (30). During engine operation, a high pressure coolant (82) is supplied to at least one of the platforms (52, 54). The coolant (82) can leak through the seam (78). Because the seam (78) is located proximate the airfoil (32), the coolant leakage through the seam (78) can be productively used to cool the transition region (86) between the vane platforms (52, 54) and the airfoil (32). In addition to such cooling benefits, aspects of the invention can result in a potential increase in engine efficiency as well as component life.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coated steel sheet or coil having a base layer which is composed of steel and to whose at least one top face is applied, by hot dip coating, a zinc coating. In the case of such steel sheets or steel coils, the zinc coating ensures a high level of corrosion resistance. The thicker the coating, the greater this resistance. Thus, in the case of a conventionally alloyed zinc coating, in a spraying test performed on a bright, uncoated sample in accordance with DIN 50021, red rust occurs after just 24 hours in the case of a coat add-on of 25 g/m2 , whereas with a coating add-on of 70 g/m2 red rust is formed only after 120 hours. The thickness of the coating that is needed in the prior art for sufficient corrosion resistance, however, brings problems with it in connection with weldability. This is the case in particular when laser welding at high welding speeds is to be used to produce a penetration weld in the lap joint without a minimum joining gap, of the kind required in particular in the field of the construction of car bodies or in the field of household engineering. The seam produced by such welding ought to be free from through-holes, to possess substantially no craters and to have no open pores.
