IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2010-02-19
Abstract: A fluid powered electricity generating device, especially for use in rivers of tidal locations comprising blades 4 attached to a drive shaft 1 by a frame 3. Each blade is hinged to the frame to so that force of the fluid against a first side of the blade presses it against the frame to cause resistance to the fluid flow, the force of the fluid against the opposite side of the blade causes it to feather by pivoting around a horizontal axis. The different forces on each blade causes the device to rotate the drive shaft which is used to drive an electrical generator. Preferably the blades protrude beyond the frame and there is a mounting structure to support the device which may be located above or below the centerline of the device. The mounting structure may also include an attachment for increasing the speed or pressure of the fluid inflow or outflow of the device.

Title: Managing signalling overhead in a wireless network containing Machine Type communication devices
Inventor: HIETALAHTI HANNU
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2011-11-04
Abstract: In a system for managing signaling between a network and machine type communication (MTC) devices, an MTC device receives an indication such as a locally detached state indication and, during the validity of the indication, remains locally detached and does not attempt communication with the network except under specified conditions. The specified conditions may be a need by the MTC device to initiate data transfer, or triggering of the MTC device. The MTC device may also receive a local detachment timer and remain attached during the validity of the local detachment timer, with the MTC device becoming locally detached and the indication becoming valid upon expiration of the local detachment timer. The aim is to manage the signaling overhead in a wireless network by a large number of MTC devices, each of which may only have a small amount of infrequent data to transmit.

Title: Dynamic track pitch control for shingled magnetic recording disc
Inventor: TANABE HIROYASU
IPC: G11B5/012
Filed: 2013-05-23
Abstract: Shingled magnetic recording (SMR) disk drives 10 are described that adjust track pitch or magnetic write width to compensate for external temperature effects. Track pitch is increased when the media temperature increases. The temperature of magnetic media during write operations can be determined from the drives' temperature sensor 17, in other embodiments track pitch is adjusted based on the magnetic write width (MWW) which is determined from read-back testing of previously written data tracks. In an alternative embodiment, the width of the MWW. is adjusted instead of the track pitch. The various factors that affect the MWW that can be used to increase or decrease the MWW, including write current characteristics and when available thermal-assistance parameters. The track pitch is increased when the temperature increases to prevent the increase in MWW with temperature from reducing the width of a previously written adjacent track below a target value.
