Title: Determining damage and remaining useful life of rotating machinery including drive trains, gearboxes, and generators
Filed: 2012-05-21
Abstract: A method for predicting remaining useful life of a wind or water turbine or a component thereof determines in step 116 an accumulated damage and compares this in step 118 to preset damage limit obtained in step114. This provides a simple approach to estimating remaining useful life, giving the turbine operator an indication of the condition of turbines or farms under management. A method of determining damage to a wind turbine, water turbine or a component thereof, comprises providing data relating to at least one operating condition (eg temperature, lubricant contamination level, lubricant age); providing at least one damage coefficient relating to the operating condition(s), and calculating the damage as a function of the operating condition(s) and the damage coefficient(s). The damage coefficients are obtained from assessing damage to the wind or water turbine or a component thereof under field operating conditions and under rated operating conditions, respectively, of the same duration.

Title: Device and method for providing information indicative of a stress situation in a human
Filed: 2012-07-24
Abstract: To monitor and sense stress situation of a human, such as a baby, in order to inform parents or other caretakers of such situations, a pulse oximeter (28) and an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor (26) are appropriately positioned., e.g. as shown, mounted on a sock (10), and an EDA measurement signal at an EDA sensing rate is received from the sensor (26) at a functionally associated processor (22) to identify any EDA indication of stress. If such an EDA indication of stress is identified the pulse oximeter (28) is activated to determine a measure of at least one of pulse and blood oxygenation of the human. Then, said processor (22) receives at least one pulse oximeter signal related to said determined measure of at least one of pulse and blood oxygenation and processes said signal and if it thereby identifies a pulse oximeter indication of stress, said processor provides an alarm signal, which may be visual or audible and/or may be transmitted wirelessly to a remote monitoring unit. The stress may be due to respiratory distress. Also claimed is a method / apparatus for providing indication of a reason for stress in a human comprising processing an electrodermal activity sensor measurement to identify an electrodermal activity level category and providing an alarm indicating medical stress, non-medical stress or no stress depending on the electrodermal activity level.

Abstract: A method for maintaining a stable liquid level in a pressurized chamber is described. According to this method a liquid to be treated is heated by direct contact with steam with the consequential condensate being mixed with the treated liquid and removed from said chamber. The following steps are provided: establishing a desired flow rate of liquid to be treated into said chamber, supplying saturated steam to said chamber to heat said liquid by contact heating to condense the steam, collecting the treated liquid along with the condensed water from the steam to maintain a predetermined liquid level in said chamber, varying the rate of steam supply and pressure to maintain the predetermined treatment temperature of the liquid as it is removed from the chamber, and selecting and using for each liquid to be treated a fixed flow area device (276) to control the rate of removal of said treated liquid from said chamber to maintain said predetermined liquid level irrespective of variation of control and said steam supply. An advantageous application field of this method is a process for heating fluids to a relatively high temperature, such as sterilization of UHT temperature, in which the liquid is heated by direct contact with steam while it is held in the form of a very thin, free-falling or a continuous falling stream.

Title: Pulse circuits for generating short duration high power pulses
Inventor: RICHARDSON ROBERT
IPC: H05K1/16
Filed: 1982-07-29
Granted: 1986-08-07
Abstract: A pulse circuit forms part of a radar transmitter in which a pulse forming network is used to generate a high current pulse at relatively low voltage and to feed it via a transformer to a magnetron which operates at typically 30 kV. A number of pulse forming networks are connected in parallel and are discharged by respective thyristors. The outputs of the pulse forming networks are combined so as to provide a low voltage pulse (of the order of 600 volts) having sufficient power to drive a radar transmitter. The pulse forming networks must each be capable of handling very large currents and must have characteristics which are identical to each other. To enable these requirements to be met, each pulse forming network includes an inductor which is formed as a coiled thin conductive layer lying on the surface of an electrically insulating board. It is formed by printed circuit board techniques and a mirror image coil is formed on both sides of a double sided printed circuit board. All pulse forming networks are connected via a common double sided printed circuit board to the primary winding of a pulse transformer.

Granted: 1986-12-11
Abstract: A resilient mount is disclosed for supporting a cab structure on the chassis of a vehicle. The mount includes a cup-shaped housing which is attached to the chassis such that it can hold a quantity of fluid. A stem which is attached at one end to the cab structure projects through the top of the housing and engages with a fitting which is completely retained in the housing. A pair of flexible members are tightly fitted into the housing above and below the fitting and cooperate to form a fluid cavity therebetween. The top flexible member has an opening therein through which the stem passes while the bottom flexible member contains at least one fluid passage which permits fluid flow therethrough as the size of the passage varies due to the flexing of the bottom flexible member. The mount also includes a valve for regulating fluid flow between the cavity and the fluid passage as the stem moves in and out or laterally relative to the housing. This mount provides both hydraulic and resilient damping of the cab structure relative to the chassis.
