Abstract: An eddy current drive (711) has an electromagnet (15, 17) and an
armature (19). Either one of the electromagnet or the armature is coupled to
a motor shaft (31) so as to rotate therewith, while the other is coupled to a
load portion (21). The motor can rotate at a continuous speed, while the
speed of the load portion can vary by varying the energization of the
electromagnet, so as to vary the coupling between the electromagnet and
the armature. In one embodiment, the electromagnet is energized by way of
inductive coils (217, 219). The coils provide a rotary coupling. In another
embodiment, an electrical generator (713) is provided. The rotation of the
motor shaft (31) generates electrical current that is used to energize the

An image (9) of the workpiece is then captured and compared with the first teaching model (10), whereupon the first teaching model (10a) most closely resembling the captured image (9) is selected. A camera is then moved in accordance with the selected teaching model (10a) to a target moving position to obtain an image to be used in a comparison with the second teaching model (20), whereupon an image of the workpiece is captured. The captured image is compared with the second teaching model (20), and the second teaching model (20) most closely resembling the captured image is selected.

Abstract: The optimum value of a fuel injection parameter is adjusted based on a temperature difference between a bore wall temperature, which is a temperature of a cylinder bore wall on a combustion chamber side, and a coolant temperature, which is a temperature of a coolant that cools the cylinder bore wall. Estimating means estimates a difference (Thbd) between a difference between a bore wall temperature and a coolant temperature during a transition operation time and a difference between a bore wall temperature and a coolant temperature during a steady operation time, the difference (Thbd) being caused due to a sudden change in a load of the diesel engine (1) (step S103). Correcting means calculates a transition correction amount corresponding to the estimated difference (Thbd) (step S104). Then, the correcting means corrects the fuel injection parameter in consideration of the transition correction amount (step S106).

Abstract: Power plant and process for the generation of electric energy through forced wind power. The plant includes a self-standing vertical structure, anchored to the ground, featuring a suitable diameter and height. Through this structure a powerful airflow operates one or more wind generators which is/are located inside. The plant is provided with several air inlets at the bottom, and an outlet at the top for discharging the air and at least one wind generator interposed between the afore-mentioned inlet -outlet. The tangible difference in the air density and temperature between high and low altitude generates a positive air flow moving from the bottom to the top and operates the internal generators regardless from the presence of winds or air flows. Suitable heating devices are located at the chimney bottom and boost the natural draught effect. A microprocessor controls the heating means in order to achieve a constant temperature at the air inlet and consequently a constant speed and a constant electric output.
