  • Power capacitor powertrain
    Patent number: 5384521
    Abstract: The present invention involves a mechanical and electrical arrangement for an energy efficient powertrain that reduces fuel consumption and environmental impact. The powertrain consists of a power and torque capacitor, using a flywheel that is fully isolated from the power production elements. The powertrain consists of a mechanically isolated flywheel, a power unit and a power receiving device which can be selectively connected and disconnected through use of electromagnetic joints. The joints are configured to mechanically isolate the power receiving device, the flywheel and the power plant from one another. As a result, the drive shaft to the power plant drives the flywheel through the torque transfer joint at an RPM greater than the maximum RPM for the flywheel. Likewise, the flywheel's minimum speed would be greater than that required for the power receiving device as defined by its rotation rate.

  • Material consolidation modeling and control system
    Patent number: 5202837
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for providing simulation and modeling and control which permits user feedback for purposes of implementing design and process optimization for composite or powder compact materials. Control is achieved through a dual feedback and feedforward hierarchical control scheme employing an interactive modeling system for providing the feedforward control data and a PID control loop for the feedback control. Modeling is based upon constitutive equations which form the basis of modeling solutions derived from the micromechanical relationships inherent in the consolidated materials. The system is implemented in an FEM software platform such that a graphics based visualization in three dimensional form can be provided to the user.
