  • Marine propulsion device with a switched reluctance starter motor and generator system
    Patent number: 6699081
    Abstract: A switch reluctance device is used as a starter/generator for an outboard motor. The rotor of the switch reluctance device is attached to the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and serves as a flywheel for the engine. The switch reluctance device is operated in a motoring mode when it is used as a starter motor for the internal combustion engine. The switch reluctance device is operated in an electrical power generating mode when the internal combustion engine is operating above a predetermined operating speed.

  • Control system for a marine vessel
    Patent number: 6273771
    Abstract: A control system for a marine vessel incorporates a marine propulsion system that can be attached to a marine vessel and connected in signal communication with a serial communication bus and a controller. A plurality of input devices and output devices are also connected in signal communication with the communication bus and a bus access manager, such as a CAN Kingdom network, is connected in signal communication with the controller to regulate the incorporation of additional devices to the plurality of devices in signal communication with the bus whereby the controller is connected in signal communication with each of the plurality of devices on the communication bus. The input and output devices can each transmit messages to the serial communication bus for receipt by other devices.

  • Pulse width modulation simulator for testing insulating materials
    Patent number: 6051980
    Abstract: A test instrument for testing magnet wire which is provided which tests, collects and permits analyzing the effect of temperature, frequency, voltage and rise time associated with magnet wire use, and more particularly, the effects of those variables on the insulation of the wire, so as to evaluate the magnet wire performance and inverter controlled dynamoelectric machine applications.
