Patent CA-2751225-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRAY ASHLEY JAMES
IPC: H02P25/08
Filed: 2009-02-05
Abstract: An electromagnetic field energy recycling circuit recovers energy from a collapsing magnetic field, stores the re-covered energy as charge on a capacitance, and subsequently re-uses the stored recovered energy to establish a magnetic field.  Ca-pacitance (Cl) and inductance (L1, L2) are sequentially connected in various circuit configurations to recycle the energy by a dis-continuous resonant energy transfer. In a magnetising configuration, a magnetic field is established by transfer of energy stored on a capacitance to an inductance (L1). In a field energy recovery configuration, a capacitance is charged with energy recovered from the inductance on collapse of the magnetic field. In a third configuration, the recovered energy stored by the capacitance is held until required for establishing a magnetic field. During the magnetising configuration, voltage on the capacitance drops by at least 50% and preferably to zero. During the recovery configuration, current flowing in the inductance falls to zero. The circuit can be used to drive electromagnetic devices, eg electric motors, generators, transformers, solenoids, induction heating coils and induc-tive power transfer windings.

Inventor: HYODO SHIGETOSHI
IPC: G01N27/72
Filed: 2010-02-15
Abstract: Magnetic materials are attached to a reference material which has equivalent electromagnetic properties to those of a test material and is not carburized. Magnetic strength of each magnetic material is measured to acquire an electromagnetic test output value, and a correlation between the measured magnetic strength values and the electromagnetic test output values is calculated. Magnetic strengths on carburized materials are measured, and a correlation between carburized depths and the measured magnetic strength values is calculated. A threshold value of magnetic strength corresponding to a threshold value of a carburized depth to be sensed, and a threshold value of electromagnetic test output corresponding to the threshold value of magnetic strength are determined. Whether carburization occurs or not in the test material is sensed based on the magnitude correlation between an electromagnetic test output value of the test material and the threshold value of electromagnetic test output.

IPC: F03D7/04
Filed: 2012-05-04
Abstract: A method for controlling a two-bladed wind turbine in extreme wind conditions is described, wherein when extreme conditions are detected or forecast for the wind turbine, the wind turbine blades are positioned in a horizontal arrangement, and actively yawed such that a tip of one of the wind turbine blades points into the wind direction. The blades are yawed such as to actively follow the changing wind direction, resulting in a reduced surface area of the blades exposed to the extreme wind forces, due to the spear-like arrangement of the turbine blades. This reduced surface area provides for a reduction in the extreme loads which may be experienced by the wind turbine in such extreme wind conditions.
