  • Patent number: 11530054
    Abstract: A spacecraft nutation inhibition method for low-orbit geomagnetic energy storage in-orbit delivery includes: S1, enabling a delivery connection rod to be slidably connected to two mass blocks in a length direction, and adjusting the center of mass of a spacecraft system to pass through a main connecting shaft; S2, respectively measuring, calibrating and adjusting the center of mass and the principal axis of inertia of the delivery connection rod that is to deliver the space target or de-orbit debris; S3, carrying out energy storage delivery; S4, respectively adjusting the center of mass and the moment of inertia of the delivery connection rod after delivering the space target or de-orbit debris; S5, carrying out energy dissipation and unloading; and S6, enabling the spacecraft system to prepare to grab the next space target or de-orbit debris and proceeding to the next delivery work cycle.

  • Patent number: 7697797
    Abstract: The present invention is a diaphragm-fiber optic sensor (DFOS), interferometric sensor. This DFOS is based on the principles of Fabry-Perot and Michelson/Mach-Zehnder. The sensor is low cost and is designed with high efficiency, reliability, and Q-point stability, fabricated using MEMS (micro mechanic-electrical system) technology, and has demonstrated excellent performance. A DFOS according to the invention includes a cavity between two surfaces: a diaphragm made of silicon or other material with a rigid body (or boss) at the center and clamped along its edge, and the endface of a single mode optic fiber. By utilizing MEMS technology, the gap width between the diaphragm and the fiber endface is made accurately, ranging from 1 micron to 10 microns.

  • Patent number: 7561277
    Abstract: The theory, design, fabrication, and characterization of MEMS (micro electrical mechanical system) Fabry-Perot diaphragm-fiber optic microphone are described in the present invention. By using MEMS technology in processing and packaging, a square 1.9 mm×1.9 mm, 2 ? thick SiO2 diaphragm with a 350 ? square embossed center of silicon is mechanically clamped to the ferrule of a single mode fiber to keep its closeness (5 ?) and perpendicular orientation with respect to the diaphragm. Static measurement of optical output power versus the pressure on membrane reveals more than one period of Fabry-Perot interference, thereby generating a Fabry-Perot diaphragm-fiber interferometer device accurately reproducing audible acoustic wave.

  • Publication number: 20090015239
    Abstract: A system and method in which an overhead high voltage transmission line sensor system is able to measure one or more of temperature, current, and line sag for a conductor within a high voltage transmission line system. The sensor system may be able to clamp to a transmission conductor or splice, harvest power from the transmission line, and/or transmit data corresponding to measurements of current, temperature, and line sag.
