20100119355 | CALIBRATION OF AN ACTUATOR FOR A VARIABLE GEOMETRY TURBINE - A variable geometry turbine of the kind used in a turbocharger has a variable geometry element such as a nozzle ring or an annular array of swing vanes that is operated by an actuator. The actuator has an output shaft coupled to a transmission mechanism for moving the variable geometry element. A rotary sensor device coupled to the output shaft of the actuator has a sensor wheel with a stop, slip clutch mechanism and a rotary position sensor. The device converts movement of the actuator output shaft into rotation of the wheel and the sensor generates an output signal representative of the rotary position of the wheel to provide a value indicative of the position of the variable geometry element. The actuator is calibrated to the position of the variable geometry element by rotating the sensor wheel in a first rotational direction until the variable geometry element reaches the first limit position, then rotating the sensor wheel in a second direction until the variable geometry element reaches the second limit position. The value of said output signal is logged at one of these positions as a limit value. The sensor wheel is allowed to declutch in the event that it encounters the stop in either direction of rotation. The output signal is monitored and the limit value is deducted to determine the position of the variable geometry element. | 05-13-2010 |

20090097961 | Hydroelectric System - A hydroelectric system converts kinetic energy from water flowing off a roof of a building into electrical energy. The system comprises a turbine having a rotor and a generator disposed in a down pipe. The down pipe has an upper end that receives water running off the roof via gutters. The down pipe comprises first and second channels that extend from the upper end to respective outlets. Each of the outlets direct water onto the rotor causing rotation in the same direction. The channels are configured in a manner so that water entering the down pipe initially flows through the first channel and out from a first outlet.

A regulating reservoir is provided at the upper end of the down pipe to provide a controlled steady flow of water through the first channel. The reservoir has an upright wall provided with a lower outlet and an upper outlet. When water collects in the reservoir at a level below the outlet it flows into the first channel via the first outlet. If rain water volume within the reservoir increases sufficiently water will eventually flow through the second outlet into the first channel providing additional pressure to drive the turbine. Should the water level in the reservoir increase at a sufficiently greater rate than it flows out from the outlets it may then overflow the wall to flow down the second channel. | 04-16-2009 |
