Abstract: The invention relates to the generation of electricity from flowing fluid and in the preferred embodiment to a horizontal axis turbine and generator assembly. The present invention is applicable to water turbines and the invention is described in relation to this application. It is however to be appreciated that it is applicable to wind turbines.

Abstract: The combination of a figurine toy and a smartphone-type device, along with display-controlling software apps, the figurine toy having a receptacle, receiving pocket or mating area adapted and structured to temporarily receive and retain the smartphone-type device such that the visual display of the smartphone-type device presents animated facial features for the figurine toy, the smartphone-type device covering the static facial features of the figurine toy when received by the figurine toy.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for a cable having a plurality of insulated conductors comprises a body having a respective recess for receiving a terminating pin each of the conductors. A respective spigot sealingly engages within each of the recesses and has a passage for receiving an associated one of the terminating pins. Furthermore a seal is associated with each of the spigots for sealing the spigot relative to the associated terminating pin. The provision of a separate spigot for each of the conductors and for sealing engagement within a respective recess in the body enables the spigots to be sealingly fitted to the conductors prior to each spigot being introduced into its recess and sealingly engaged therein. This provides improved insulation of the conductor and increased creepage distance between the mating electrical parts and the outer surface of the housing of the assembly.
