Abstract: A turbocharger has a shaft (2) formed of a strong material such as steel and an impeller (1) formed of a relatively weaker material such as aluminium alloy. The impeller is mounted on the shaft by means of an internally-threaded insert (3), for example also of steel, interference fitted into the impeller hub (H). To prevent loss of the interference fit between insert and impeller during thermal and speed excursions of the impeller during operation of the turbocharger, a constraining ring (14) is fitted to the hub (H) of the impeller. The ring (14) is of a material having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the material of the impeller and surrounds at least a part of that axial length of the impeller which overlies the insert. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of measuring torque in a part, for example a shaft, in which at least one coil, wound about an axis of the part about which axis torque is applied, is A.C. energized to create an alternating polarity magnetic field in the part, which field emanates a component dependent on torque. A magnetic field sensor arrangement is responsive to the emanated component to produce a torque-indicating signal. The at least one coil is energized by a series of energizing pulses of current of alternating polarity which pulses have a relatively small duty cycle. The sensor arrangement produces sensor pulses of alternating polarity corresponding to said energizing pulses, and the sensor pulses are measured in a peak-to-peak fashion to produce an output signal representing torque.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature-sensitive safety valve assembly. The valve assembly comprises a first pressurised fluid region (50), which region has a first outlet (54), and a second pressurised fluid region (20), which region has a heat-sensitive sealing means (34). A valve (26b) between the first and second regions is adapted to be actuated by the pressure of a second pressurised fluid in the second region against biasing means (58) to open the outlet (54). The heat-sensitive sealing means (36) in the second region (20) fails at high temperature so as to de-pressurise the second region (20), thereby actuating the valve (26b) to move under the biasing means (58) to close the first outlet (54) and seal the first region (50).  The valve assembly comprises a relay unit (403,437,466), which is arranged to sense a parameter, and react to the sensing of the parameter by sealing the first region (50). The temperature-sensitive safety valve assembly is remotely electronically operable in a wireless manner. Also, the temperature-sensitive safety valve assembly has an electronic device and a solar cell arranged to supply power to the electronic device.
