One wheel from the pair of wheels is at the leading side of the tire. One wheel from the pair of wheels is at the trailing side of the tire. Each of the wheels is directly connected to a generator. In a preferred embodiment, each of the wheels are also frictionally coupled to an other wheel, the other wheel being connected to a generator. | 10-15-2009 |
20110192711 | Water condenser - A water condenser comprising a primary entry access, and an air entry access so as to bring air inside. A junction between a condensate reservoir passageway and a main passageway to control air flow. The condensate reservoir passageway leads to a condensate reservoir; the main passageway provides access to condensation chambers. A boiler located in the center of the water condenser below the first and second condensation chambers heats up humid air which rises as steam into the first and second condensation chambers where it condenses on the cold surfaces of the walls and ceiling. | 08-11-2011 |

20110193718 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP FOR WIRELESS MULTI-NETWORK METER READING - A wireless monitoring system comprises a remote asset about which data is to be collected and a wireless data-transfer device connected to the remote asset. The wireless device includes a radiofrequency transceiver and a chip having a memory for storing a plurality of subscriber identifiers corresponding to different wireless networks and for further storing logic that constitutes network selection rules for selecting one of the wireless networks to use for transmission of the data. In a GSM/UMTS implementation of this technology, the subscriber identifier is the IMSI and the chip is a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) chip or card. By using multiple IMSI's, the wireless data-transfer device connected to the remote asset may switch seamlessly between wireless networks. A new IMSI (for a new network) may be provisioned over the air to enable the device to communicate over a new network for which it did not previously have an IMSI. | 08-11-2011 |

20080286097 | Support bar with adjustable shim design for turbine diaphragms - A support arrangement for a diaphragm segment in a turbine casing that includes: 1) a support bar joined to a diaphragm segment; 2) a turbine casing comprising a vertical wall and a horizontal shoulder, wherein a portion of the horizontal shoulder underlies the support bar; 3) a cut out area defined by the vertical wall and an outer edge of the support bar; and 4) a shim interposed between the horizontal shoulder and the support bar. The cut out area may be a size that allows the shim to pass through. | 11-20-2008 |
20080296847 | Packing ring with dovetail feature - A packing ring in a multi-staged turbine that includes two ring segments joined by a dovetail feature. In some embodiments, the dovetail feature may include a male/female configuration. In other embodiments, the dovetail feature may include an insert/groove configuration. The insert of the insert/groove configuration may include a protrusion that extends from an approximately flat surface of an end of one of the ring segments. The groove of the insert/groove configuration may include a notch in an approximate flat surface of an end of one of the ring segments. The insert of the insert/groove configuration and the groove of the insert/groove configuration may be of a similar size such that the insert closely fits within the groove. | 12-04-2008 |

20110146053 | METHODS OF ASSEMBLING ROTORS HAVING NON-COMPLEMENTARY FLANGE OPENINGS - Methods for assembling a first rotor and a second rotor having non-complementary flange openings may include providing mating elements at substantially the center on corresponding rotor flanges, coupling dowels into each of a plurality of circumferentially spaced flange openings in one rotor flange, and mating the mating elements and extending the dowels through corresponding flange openings in the other rotor flange. The rotors are then progressively drawn closer by threading a threaded collar onto each dowel while ensuring alignment between the rotor flanges. Once the flanges contact, machining the flange openings makes them complementary. Once the dowels are removed, the rotors can be coupled by a fastener in each set of complementary flange openings. | 06-23-2011 |

20120163961 | FLEXIBLE HOUSING FOR STEAM TURBINE EXHAUST HOOD - A flexible housing is arranged along an axial centerline of a rotor shaft of a steam turbine. The flexible housing extends between an exhaust hood endcover and a seal end packing housing on a separate supporting standard. The flexible housing includes a top cover portion and a bottom cover portion with a flanged horizontal joint that permits removal and replacement without need to remove the exhaust hood cover and the rotor shaft. The flexible housing encloses the rotor shaft with a first cylindrical element and a second cylindrical element of a different radius joined with an thin member that flexes to absorb expansion and contraction of the turbine exhaust hood. | 06-28-2012 |
20120171010 | REMOVABLE STEAM INLET ASSEMBLY FOR STEAM TURBINE - A removable steam inlet assembly and lifting fixture for a steam turbine are provided to facilitate lifting of the upper exhaust hood of the steam turbine. The removable steam inlet assembly is detached from the steam inlet of the turbine inner casing for the lift and mounted to the upper exhaust hood with a lifting fixture. Detaching and removal of the steam inlet assembly substantially lowers the clearance height for the lift, allowing lower turbine building height with significant cost savings. | 07-05-2012 |
20120171031 | REMOVABLE UPPER STEAM GUIDE SEGMENT FOR STEAM TURBINE - An upper steam guide segment may be a height limiting clearance for a lift of the upper exhaust hood of a steam turbine. The upper steam guide segment for a steam turbine is made detachable from a steam guide. The upper steam guide segment is bracketed to a butterfly plate fixedly attached to an upper exhaust hood of the steam turbine. The upper steam guide segment is supported by the butterfly plate when detached from the full steam guide. During a lift of the upper exhaust hood, the steam guide segment will also be lifted with the upper exhaust hood, resulting in a lower clearance height for the lift. | 07-05-2012 |
20140271139 | TURBINE CASING INLET ASSEMBLY CONSTRUCTION - A steam turbine inlet assembly and method of constructing the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, an annular ring is provided, along with a body affixed to a distal face of the annular ring and extending distally therefrom. The body portion has a curved entrance geometry at the proximal end adjacent the annular ring, and transitions to a substantially polygonal exit geometry at a distal end. | 09-18-2014 |
