Patent AU-2008307475-B2 (AU)
Title: Hybrid touchdown bearing system
Inventor: ARSENEAUX JAMES
IPC: H02K7/09
Filed: 2008-11-26
Granted: 2012-12-06
Abstract: Upon operation, flywheel assemblies sand other such rotational mechanisms are released by mechanical backup bearings, which then normally remain disengaged until shutdown as the flywheel assembly is levitated by the axial magnetic field. However, either due to over heating of bearings, power failure or other stimuli, flywheels often suffer a phenomenon deemed as touchdown down from the levitation state. During this touchdown event, flywheels inherently lose rotational momentum, thus ceasing to generate and release power and often cause damage to components as well as casing. Enhancements developed herein, through the introduction of the instant secondary hybrid touchdown bearing system, allow flywheels and other such systems to retain rotational momentum and continue generation of energy. Further, the instant system negates damage to system components, as well as bearing wear.

Granted: 2012-08-16
Abstract: An apparatus for encoding an audio signal comprises the windower (11) for windowing a first block of the audio signal using an analysis window having an aliasing portion and a further portion. The apparatus furthermore comprises a processor (12) for processing the first sub-block of the audio signal associated with the aliasing portion by transforming the sub-block from a domain into a different domain subsequent to windowing the first sub-block to obtain the processed first sub-block, and for processing a second sub-block of the audio signal associated with the further portion by transforming the second sub-block from the domain into the different domain before windowing the second sub-block to obtain a processed second sub-block. The apparatus furthermore comprises a transformer (13) for converting the processed first sub-block and the processed second sub-block from the different domain into a further different domain using the same block transform rule to obtain a converted first block which may then be compressed using any of the well-known data compression algorithms. Thus, a critically sampled switch between two coding modes can be obtained, since aliasing portions occurring in two different domains are matched to each other.
