Patent EP-1962098-B1 (EP)

Abstract: An electric consumption meter with a power line switch is provided. The switch either connects or disconnects an electric power line. An actuator, e.g. a small electro-motor or a piezo-electric motor, is arranged to actuate change state of the switch in response to a control signal. A mechanical energy storage arrangement connects the actuator and the switch member. Actuation of the switch member involves a plurality of repeated movements of at least one part of the actuator. The switch function of the meter is insensitive to influence of strong magnetic fields even in case e.g. an electro-motor is used as actuator. However, using a piezo-electric motor as actuator results in a completely magnetically immune switch function. Further, a small and weak actuator can be used and still provide mechanical energy to drive e.g. four switches, one for each of three electrical phase and one for neutral, and still provide a reliable switch function with force enough to provide a low "on" resistance of the switch, and to provide a quick switch function avoiding sparks. Preferably, the actuator, switch and mechanical energy storage arrangement are located within a casing of the meter, most preferably it is located with the largest possible distance to consumer accessible surfaces of the casing. The meter preferably has a communication module to receive the control signal, e.g. a wireless RF module. Measured consumed electrical energy data may also be communicated via the communication module.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a one-piece composite fuselage section (110) that minimizes out-of-plane fiber distortion. This is accomplished by fabricating a mandrel (14) having a coefficient of thermal expansion in the hoopwise direction that is sufficiently greater than that of the laid-up composite ply assembly. As a result of this differential in the coefficients of thermal expansion in the hoopwise direction, the laid-up composite ply assembly is stretched circumferentially as the mandrel expands radially during cure, thereby eliminating or reducing out-of-plane fiber distortion. At the same time, the mandrel and part being fabricated should have substantially the same coefficient of thermal expansion in the lengthwise direction. As the outer surface of the mandrel increases in circumference, the circumferentially oriented reinforcing fibers of the inner plies are stretched, while the circumferentially oriented reinforcing fibers of the outer plies do not reduce in circumference and thus do not form waves or wrinkles.
