Abstract: A unique point absorber type wave energy conversion device is disclosed that includes a Power Take Off (PTO) which uses a torsion spring to return a vertical shaft to its original position after being rotated by a rope or cord that pulls a reel via a guide system. This spring return allows the PTO and housing to stay stationary under the wave energy while a buoy at the surface provides an oscillating linear movement. The oscillating rotary motion caused by the interaction of the buoy and spring is converted into a one directional motion via a one-way clutch and is transmitted to generators using a gearbox that increases rotational speed.

Abstract: A footnote utility manages lengthy footnotes which extend beyond the body text page where they are first mentioned. Certain first and second style requirements are used for assembling body and footnote text into a final document. Each page contains at least one line of body text and portions of the text of each footnote referenced in that text.
