Abstract: The present invention relates to a bracket for mounting fence rails and other items to common rolled metal posts, including a flat front face and a rearwardly projecting apertured web. Most commonly these are T-shaped in cross-section. The bracket includes a front plate substantially wider than the front face of the post, two rear plates behind the front plate attached to the edges of the front plate, and two mounting plates projecting rearwardly from the edges of the rear plates. The mounting plates have apertures in registration with each other. The mounting plates are attachable to the apertured web to locate the front plate in abutting relationship with the front face of the post. The front, rear, and mounting plates define a slot shaped to received the post. The width of the front plate is sufficient to include apertures for fasteners to secure fencing members, which are not obstructed by the front face of the post. A strap can be threaded through these apertures to secure a fence member.

Abstract: The anemometer is for use in measuring two orthogonal velocity components of a fluid, such as air or water. When used to measure wind speed, the wind force acting on a sphere attached to a shaft tends to deflect the shaft from the neutral position. This deflection is measured by optical or electromagnetic sensors which control an electromagnetic actuator which generates a force opposing the wind force thereby returning the shaft to the neutral position. The actuator generates a force proportional to the square of the current applied to the actuator coils. Since the drag force is proportional to the fluid velocity squared (for one dimensional measurement), the wind speed measurement derived from the current applied to the electromagnet will be partly linearized. A microprocessoris used to compute the wind speed components or the wind speed and its direction from the electromagnet signals.
