Patent number: 7733615Abstract: A dynamic braking load analyzer that determines the proper resistance value for a dynamic braking load resistor to be used in combination with a variable frequency drive or servo-drive to accommodate the power dissipated from an induction motor when it is being reduced in speed. The analyzer includes a resistor bank having a plurality of resistors electrically coupled in parallel. Switches are provided between the resistors, and a resistor selector switch determines which resistors are switched into the resistor bank circuit. A heat sensing resistor in the resistor bank measures the heat generated by the resistors and provides a signal that is read by a heat meter. The combination of the temperature measurement and the resistance of the resistors in the circuit gives the proper braking resistance value for the deceleration of the induction motor.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Powerohm Resistors, Inc.Inventors: Joseph S. Eschleman, Thomas Yingling, Michael Crowe

Patent number: 5606533Abstract: A ranging and data taking system, useful as an acoustic sediment classification system. The system launches acoustic pulses into a water column above a sediment bed of interest (seafloor, riverbed, etc.) and records echoes from the pulses. The recorded echoes are transmitted to a processor, which uses the echoes to classify the sediment. Disposed between the hardware for data acquisition, and the processor, is S-RAM (static read only memory). This decouples data acquisition and data processing, which increases the speed of the system sufficiently that the system can display processed data, such as sediment contour plots, in virtual real time.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1994Date of Patent: February 25, 1997Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: John C. Cranford, Douglas N. Lambert, Michael Crowe
