Patent number: 11545835Abstract: An inverter energy system supplies power to a site. The inverter energy system comprises a number of solar strings, each solar string including a solar panel(s) as a renewable energy source and an inverter. The inverter energy system is connected to a mains power supply (grid) and to a site load (sub circuits). The forward or reverse power flow into or out of the mains power supply is monitored at a monitoring point at the site. A rate limit is set for power flow into and/or or out of the mains power supply. The supply of power from the inverter energy system is controlled so that the power flow into or out of the mains power supply is within the set rate limit.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: HONEY BADGER INTERNATIONAL PTY LTD.Inventor: Gregory Neville Rogers

Patent number: 4833932Abstract: A stabilised mount (e.g. for an antenna) has two gyroscopic rotors mounted in such a way that they can pivot about orthogonal axes. Rewinding of the antenna (to avoid undue twisting of the electrical cables) is liable to cause a voilent destabilisation of the mount because of the gyroscopic action of the rotors. To prevent this destabilisation the rotors are locked against the aforementioned pivoting action during the rewinding procedure.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1987Date of Patent: May 30, 1989Assignee: The General Electric Company, p.l.c.Inventor: Neville Rogers

Patent number: 4196665Abstract: A ticket printing machine having reversible means for propelling a ticket between two points. The machine has a printing head which is movable transversely to the track of the ticket in a plane parallel to the plane of the ticket. The printing head is driven in steps across the track of the ticket. The arrival of the ticket at either of the two points gives rise to an output signal. Upon the occurrence of such a signal, the ticket is driven in a direction opposite to that at which it arrived at the point and is propelled back toward the other point. The printing head is operative during the traverse of the ticket in either direction to print a line of printing. In addition, when an output signal is generated denoting the arrival of the ticket at one of the points, the printing head is advanced one step across the ticket in readiness for the next line of printing.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1978Date of Patent: April 8, 1980Assignee: The Marconi Company LimitedInventors: Neville Rogers, Eric A.
