  • Publication number: 20120114483
    Abstract: A rotor blade is used in combination with a submersible electrical generator for generating electricity to be put into the grid, where the pitch of the rotor blade is controlled by a microprocessor. The microprocessor controls a radio frequency transmitter which emits signals to a receiver which controls a hydraulic value. The hydraulic valve controls a push-pull arrangement which through a right angle gear and pitch adjustment axial adjust the rotor pitch according to pre-programmed conditions stored in the microprocessor.

  • Publication number: 20060079993
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel dispenser control system used in combination with a host computer for controlling the fuel dispensing process, and with newer dispensers, for accepting payment by credit card or cash dispenser. The fuel control system includes a fuel controller application installed on the operating system of the computer, and includes a host application interface, a fuel dispenser control section, and a fuel dispenser brand specific section. The system includes an OLE-II server, residing in the host computer, for receiving and processing commands from the host application section. The host application interface interfaces the fuel controller application to the host computer, the fuel dispenser control section controls the dispensers, and the dispenser brand specific section formats the communication signals according to the type dispenser being controlled.

  • Patent number: 5083801
    Abstract: The steel laminate gasket is installed between two engine parts. One of the engine parts is provided with at least two positioning pins for setting a location of the gasket. The gasket comprises at least first and second plates. The first plate includes at least first and second holes formed at portions corresponding to the positioning pins, and at least one flap surrounded by slits. The flap is formed adjacent to the first hole to slightly project thereinto. The second plate is situated above the first plate and is connected thereto. The second plate includes third and fourth holes corresponding to the first and second holes, and at least one notch located adjacent the third hole above the flap. When the gasket is pushed over the positioning pins, the flap bends and engages the positioning pin to securely connect the gasket to the engine block.
