  • Patent number: 11702184
    Abstract: An airship includes a gasbag, a cockpit and a first shaft body, where the gasbag is filled with a gas for lifting the airship; the gasbag and the cockpit are sequentially arranged along an axial direction of the first shaft body and fixed to the first shaft body, and there is a spacing between the gasbag and the cockpit; at least one of the gasbag and the cockpit is rotatably connected to the first shaft body; after the gasbag is filled with the gas for lifting the airship, any section of the gasbag in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first shaft body is circular or annular; and the axial direction of the first shaft body is the same as a direction of gravity.

  • Patent number: 6870429
    Abstract: Clock signals and digital data signals at a variable frequency are introduced to the input of a FIFO and are passed from the FIFO at a second (or intermediate) frequency controlled by a numerically controlled oscillator. To regulate the frequency of the signals from the numerically controlled oscillator, the phases of the clock signals at the variable frequency are compared in a phase detector with the phases of the signals from the numerically controlled oscillator to generate an error signal. The error signals and the signals at a fixed sampling frequency higher than the intermediate frequency regulate the frequency of the signals from the numerically controlled oscillator and thus the frequency of the digital data signals from the FIFO. The digital data signals from the FIFO are converted to a pair of signals at the second frequency.
