Abstract: The system described herein is particularly adapted to convert mechanical energy from a wind or hydraulic driven turbine into electric energy and comprises: an exciter generator and a main generator in a housing traversed by a rotatable shaft; the exciter generator consists of permanent magnet mounted to the housing envelope and of a rotor mounted to the shaft and having a one-phase winding, the rotor being made of non-magnetic material to eliminate cogging and static torque associated with permanent magnet excitation; the main generator consists of a three-phase stator winding on a magnetic core mounted to the housing envelope and of a pole-type rotor mounted to the shaft, the rotor having a winding wound on a magnetic core; a rectifying bridge is rotatably mounted to the shaft and is connected to the one-phase winding of the rotor of the exciter generator and to the winding of the main generator rotor so that the rotation of the shaft as a result of mechanical energy generates a three-phase electric energy

Abstract: The control system permits limiting the electrical demand of a distribution network to a desired maximum value by regulating the temperature of one or more thermal loads with heating or cooling elements; this system includes: means for measuring the instantaneous demand of the network; means for measuring the instantaneous temperature of each of the thermal loads; means for comparing the demand of the network to the desired maximum value; means for comparing the measured temperature to the desired temperature for each of the thermal loads; and means for disconnecting or for connecting in response to the information obtained by the comparison, a fraction of the elements which is proportional to the difference between the measured temperature and the desired temperature.

Abstract: A method and process of screening multilayer thick-film structures to produce complex hybrid electronic circuits. After deposition, drying and firing of the first conductor plane on the substrate, registration ink is deposited and allowed to dry thus forming temporary vias. A suitable dielectric paste is then deposited either on all the surface or except on viaslocations. The dielectric paste is then dried and fired. Firing however causes sublimation or evaporation of the temporary vias pattern leaving cavities in the dielectric layer. Slight buffing may be required to uncover the via holes. The vias and the second conductor plane are then deposited, dried and fired. The same steps are carried out for each subsequent conductor plane.
