Title: Compact-combined solar-wind system with whirling uptake of winds at altitude for electricity production
Inventor: ROSARIO ROCCO TULINO
IPC: H02S10/12
Filed: 2019-07-24
Abstract: The system employs an array of photo-voltaic (PV) panels 6 located on the outer surface of a hollow tube or mast 5. Sunlight is collected or focussed and then directed upwards by a concentric array of adjustable solar tracking parabolic mirrors 9 located below and surrounding the PV panels. Air 1, moving over the top of the tower is entrained by a series of static baffles or vanes 4 located on the upper end of the tower, creating a downdraft, above and behind the PV panels. The air falls downwards through the tube 5, utilising the Ranque and Coanda effects, and as it passes the reverse of the PV cells it acts to cool them transferring heat from them. The airstream continues to descend downwards, passing through and rotating a wind turbine 8 that is connected to an electrical generator, located close to or at the base of the tower. Air is expelled from the base of the tower 15. The objective is to provide a low height and low cost tower with PV air cooling means.

Title: Pilot-actuated spool valve having rod retainer
Inventor: ROBERT E SMITH III
IPC: F16K31/122
Filed: 2019-09-26
Abstract: The valve 200 includes a distal (lower) seal 260, an outer body or cage 250, a proximal (upper) seal 230, an inner sleeve or spool 240, a piston housing 201, and a piston 220. The valve 200 is actuated by the piston 220, which is responsive to a hydraulic pressure supplied via a pilot pressure port 204. At least one biasing element is used inside the piston housing 201 to bias against the pilot pressure. In particular, an outer spring 210 and a concentric inner spring 212 act against an end plate 214 and bias the piston 220 to the position shown when the pilot hydraulic pressure decreases to a certain level. The valve 200 is a normally-closed valve – i.e., in the absence of hydraulic pressure at the port 204, the valve , acting under the influence of the springs 210 and 212, closes the supply port (54) from communicating with the function port (58) and opens the function port (58) to the vent port (54). Cap nut 270 may be tightened securely to the piston rod 222 making it less likely to loosen over time.

Also disclosed is, a method of operating the pointing unit in which the first portion is rotated from an orientation in which an optical beam is directed to the target to an orientation in which a radio frequency beam is directed from the antenna to the target. This allows the pointing unit to switch between an optical communication mode and a radio frequency communication mode. Such switching may be triggered when an optical link performance parameter falls below a threshold. The pointing unit may form part of a freespace optical communication terminal 100 mounted on a vehicle such as an aircraft or spacecraft.
