  • Patent number: 8388481
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a constant output from a variable flow input comprises a liquid flow energy input, for example, air or water for driving a constant speed generator. An inner and outer cam assembly is controlled by a control input to achieve varying eccentricity and control the output speed at an output shaft to be constant despite a varying rotational velocity input at an input shaft. A feedback control may be provided between one of the input shaft and the output shaft and the inner and outer cam assembly to maintain constant output by varying the eccentricity. The constant output may drive a constant speed generator having an infinitely variable torque generator. In this manner, a power grid may be provided with constant frequency alternating current at, for example, 50 Hz (Europe) or 60 Hz (USA).

  • Patent number: 7873360
    Abstract: Disclosed are a soft handoff system, a soft handoff method, and a mobile terminal equipped with the soft handoff system. The soft handoff system for a mobile terminal analyzes periodically monitored wireless conditions of neighbor base stations, transmits a PSMM (Pilot Strength Measurement Message) to a current base station when a condition arises that needs reporting to the current base station, receives an HDM (Handoff Direction Message) from the current base station, wherein upon receiving the HDM from the current base station, the system allows a handoff drop timer of an active base station belonging to an active set having a pilot channel signal strength less than a predetermined value to continue running rather than to be reset until the handoff drop timer expires.

  • Patent number: 7731619
    Abstract: Variable motion control devices and methods of use. The devices and methods relate to providing an output, such as a rotational shaft output, transmitted from a rotational shaft input, with the output varying based on a control input. The devices and methods are used, for example, to provide a variable output for use with a compressor, power take off, or transmission or differential application. To provide the variable output, the devices and methods include use of mechanical component systems, such as spur gear planetary systems, ring gear planetary systems, bevel gear arrangements, or combinations of such features. The control input is implemented, for example, by arrangements of bindably meshed gears, tension between pulleys joined by belts or similar arrangements of sprockets and chains, use of magnetic clutches, hydraulic or pneumatic controls, or braking devices.
