  • Patent number: 4310771
    Abstract: In a typical power system, a motor bus is fed by a main power system; and, an auxiliary system is provided to alternatively feed the motor bus. When a fast transfer from the main power to the auxiliary power system is desired, for example, in case of fault occurring in the main system, the inventive method transfers power in a synchronous mode; that is, power is transferred from the auxiliary system to the motor bus when the phase difference of the auxiliary system with respect to the frequency of the residual voltage on the motor bus is essentially zero degrees.

  • Patent number: 4302181
    Abstract: The piezoelectric generator and the spark electrodes are assembled as an integral unit, the electrodes being at the upper end of the unit and projecting upwardly while the actuating button of the current generator projects downwardly from the lower end of the unit. The unit is movable vertically. When upward pressure is exerted on the button the unit moves to an upper position at which the electrodes are adjacent the gas burner and upon reaching that position continued upward pressure on the button actuates the current generator. When the button is released the unit descends by gravity to a lower position at which the electrodes are spaced away from the flame of the burning gas.

  • Patent number: 4272654
    Abstract: An improved transducer construction of the type having a U-shaped armature mounted to have a vibrating arm extending through the tunnel of a cooperating coil. The arms of the armature are joined by a smooth bend to provide improved shock-resistant characteristics. The coil is initially located and properly positioned relative to the arm extending through the tunnel by means of shims. The transducer includes a case comprising a cup, and a cover for the cup, both being of a magnetic material. The cup and cover are joined together by welding to insure low reluctance flux paths therebetween to retain the magnetic fields developed by the transducer within the casing.
