Abstract: An improved steerable catheter with biased, in-plane bi-directional deflection has an elongated catheter body, a deflectable intermediate section having a tubing with at least a first and a second off-axis opposing lumens for puller wires that define a plane of deflection, and a control handle at a proximal end of the catheter body. The deflectable intermediate section includes at least two elongated bias members that extend along the length and lie on a plane perpendicular to the plane of deflection so as to resist flexure outside of the plane of deflection. In a more detailed embodiment, the deflectable intermediate section has an integrated tubular construction that includes an inner layer, a braided mesh surrounding the inner layer and an outer layer, where the bias members can be situated between the inner layer and the braided mesh, or between the braided mesh and the outer layer.

Abstract: An axial flux motor assembly (10) comprises a stack of first and second discs (20a, 20b) arranged alternately such that there is a gap allowing rotation between each disc (20a, 20b). The first disc (20a) is mounted on a rotatable shaft (40), whilst the second disc (20b) is fixed in position. The first and second discs (20a, 20b) each comprise sectors (200) of magnetic material arranged on a face of the disc (20a, 20b), between each of which sectors (200) is a radially-extending conductor (202) of a conductive path (201) for conducting electric current. The sectors (200) of magnetic material on the first and second discs (20a, 20b) are arranged at a constant angular pitch, but the pitch of the sectors of magnetic material on the first disc may or may not be the same as those on the second disc. When electric current flows in the conductors (202), magnetic flux runs perpendicular to the faces of the discs (20a, 20b) in axially-extending flux paths (220), such that, considering the first disc(s) independently of the second disc(s), the magnetic flux in one axially-extending flux path (220) runs in an opposite direction to that in the immediately-adjacent flux paths (220) on each side of it, and is returned by flux return portions (30) of magnetic material provided at each end of the assembly (10). The total flux is the super-position of the flux of the first disc(s) and the second disc(s). The assembly (10) further comprises switching circuitry (50) for reversing the direction of current flowing in the conductive path (201) in one of the first disc (20a) or the second disc (20b) in correspondence to rotation thereof relative to the other of the first disc or the second disc in such a way as to effect continuous rotation of the first disc.

Abstract: Systems and methods ("utility") for providing Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capabilities for wind turbines are disclosed.    The Utility includes a directly connected synchronous generator (214) that is designed to have a high dynamic pull-out torque. To remain connected to the power grid (224) during low voltage events, the utility boosts the excitation current applied to the rotor of the synchronous generator (214). Further, the utility may include a torque regulator in the form of d torque-regulating gearbox (210), which in turn includes adjustable guide vanes (624) that may be positioned to reduce the amount of mechanical torque applied to the rotor shaft of the synchronous generator (224) during low voltage events. Additionally, the utility may also include a braking System (206) and a pitch control System (234) to limit the acceleration of the wind rotor (202) shaft during low voltage events.

Abstract: A method of optimizing downlink for communications between a base station and mobile stations in a wireless communication system involves acquiring user identifiers and geometry values for mobile stations that are associated with registered users of the system, associating modulation control scheme (MCS) power values with respective users in response to respective geometry values, initializing a power pool, identifying users that have an MCS power value greater than a reference MCS power value as high power users and calculating a power difference for each of the high power users. The power difference is a difference between the geometry value associated with each of the high power users and a reference geometry value associated with the reference MCS power value respectively. The power differences associated with respective high power users are accumulated in the power pool, by summing the power differences. Users that have an MCS power value below the reference MCS power value are identified as low power users and increased geometry values are associated with at least some of the low power users while the power pool is reduced by corresponding amounts until the power pool is depleted. New MCSs are then determined for at least some of the low power users based on the increased geometry values and control information is transmitted to the low power users using modulation and control schemes identified by the corresponding new MCSs at power levels associated with the new MCSs.
