Patent GB-0801936-D0 (GB)
Title: Electricity generator
Filed: 2008-02-01
Abstract: A wind turbine and generator arrangement comprises a turbine that drives a self-excited induction generator via a shaft and mechanical gearbox. The induction generator includes an electrical circuit that includes a variable capacitance and a variable resistance. The variable capacitance may be constituted by a fixed capacitor and a triac under the control of a controller, or by a bank of capacitors switched by a relay under control of the controller. The variable resistance includes a triac controlled resistor or a bank of relay-switched resistors which constitute heating elements for heating domestic hot water. In use the generator frequency and voltage are allowed to ‘float’ while the optimal generator power output is maintained, but adjusting the impedance of the electrical circuit as the wind speed varies.

Title: Speech coding
IPC: G10L19/04
Filed: 1988-03-16
Abstract: Speech for transmission over a low bit rate channel of a telecommunications link is digitally sampled and subjected to linear predictive coding in a coder (6). The LPC residual signal is passed through a weighting filter (18) and the output down sampled by decimation factor d resulting in d sequences of which the maximum energy sequence is selected for vector quantization. The data output from the vector quantizer (22) is formed into an output frame together with an index (s) identifying the selected decimation sequence and the quantized LPC parameters. The frame transmitted over the telecommunications link (46) is decoded by means of an inverse vector quantizer (50) which restores the decimated sequence. An interpolator (52) interpolates zeros to restore an excitation signal for an LPC synthesis filter (54) from which the voice signal can be reconstructed.
