Title: Power grid stabilising system wherein appliances incorporate device to detect grid frequency and stress and adjust parameters of appliance appropriately
Inventor: HIRST DAVID
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 2004-09-22
Abstract: A responsive load device, which includes a means for receiving an input indicative of the frequency of the mains power supplied to a load from a grid, and a means responsive thereto to determine a level of stress under which the grid is operating, is disclosed. The frequency of the mains grid is detected and used to determine a stress level under which the grid is operating. Detection of a high frequency is indicative of too little a load on the electrical power being supplied to the grid and therefore, a low stress situation. A high stress condition may exist if there is too much load for the power being supplied to the grid. Adjustment of the power consumption of the load is prevented if the high and/or low stress states are determined. If a critical high or low stress condition is determined, the load is either prevented from consuming power completely, or the load is set to a maximum power consumption state respectively.

Title: An engine using stored compressed air with two cylinders coupled to sync their motion with respect to TDC
Inventor: NEGRE GUY
IPC: F02B41/00
Filed: 2004-11-17
Abstract: An engine using compressed air is disclosed. The compressed air is contained in a high-pressure storage tank (22) which is used to power the engine via a working storage tank (19), whose working pressure is lower than that in the storage tank (22). An active expansion chamber (13) consists of a variable volume or charge piston (14) sliding in a cylinder, coupled to space above an engine piston (1) by means of a passage (12).When stopped at top dead center, the pressurized air is admitted into the expansion chamber when it has the smallest volume and, under the effect of this pressure, increases the volume thereof by producing work. As the expansion chamber nears its maximum volume the compressed air contained within the active chamber (13) then expands into the engine cylinder (2) thus pushing the engine piston (1) downwards along its travel, providing work of its own. During exhaust, the two pistons (1 and 14) travel in an upward stroke and simultaneously reach top dead center in order to resume a new cycle. The engine can be used with land vehicles, cars, buses, motor bikes, boats, auxiliary generator sets, cogeneration units and fixed station motors. In a bi-energy version, a device for heating the air in the working storage tank (19) is supplied by additional energy such as a fuel gas.

Title: Safety equipment for a lift installation as well as a lift installation with such safety equipment
Inventor: KOSTKA MIROSLAV
Filed: 2007-08-17
Abstract: A pending collision warning and prevention system for a lift system running at least two cages A1 and A2 one above the other in the same shaft 11 includes a light beam emitter 21 on the bottom (or top) of one cage and a light beam detector 22 on the corresponding facing top (or bottom) of the other cage. The light beam L1 is emitted at an angle to the vertical z so that it does not impinge on the detector 22 when the cages are not close but does impinge on the detector 22 when the cages are getting close together. When the detector detects the light beam a reaction to prevent the collision of the cages can be instigated. The same sort of system can be arranged between a cage and the top or bottom of the shaft. As the beam L1 scans across the detector 22 a measure of the relative velocity between the cages can be derived.

The system further includes a plurality of bars which extend linearly a given length along a line running from the first end to the second end of each rigid upright section. The given length is equal to or less than the total distance between the first end and the second end. The system also includes a pair of deflection limitation stops in the form of plates. Each plate has a front side and a back side embedded in each of the first and second ends of the rigid upright sections on opposite sides of the connection member at the lower part of each end of each rigid upright section. The plates are positioned where the front sides of the plates will face the front sides of another pair of deflection stops embedded in an end of an adjacent rigid upright section. A bar is secured to the back side of each of the plates in the pair of deflection limitation stops and extends at an acute angle towards the connection member. The pair of deflection stops provides reinforcement of lower corners of the rigid upright section and prevents spalling.
