Abstract: The present disclosure describes lowering of the starting torque for an alternator or motor. The disclosure also describes the integrated torque management system, torque control logic and torque control method. The current process may be adopted for any motor or alternator that has to manage the starting torque for optimal performance. The disclosure also provides a method, system and a device to allow any energy generating system to rotate at lower speeds to improve the efficiency of power generators.

Abstract: The description relates to generating power using wind energy. The current disclosure provides an opportunity to develop a new energy generating resource. According to some aspects, the apparatus uses a passive device to capture wind, and accelerate the wind toward a turbine and other fan or turbine blades to generate power in a confined structure. The foot print of the current design is scalable to individual users or businesses such as homes, industrial facilities, small business sites, as well as small power utilities such as wind farms. The passive devices to capture wind can have active electronic or mechanical controls to control the amount of wind flowing in the structure to generate power.

Abstract: A computer-aided-design method and apparatus for generating a design of desired products, and selecting products to implement the design of a network. The method, as performed by the computer, includes the step of (1) retrieving a number of network infrastructure specifications, (2) retrieving a number of networking rules, (3) generating a design that defines characteristics in the desired products of the network, and (4) selecting a number of networking products from a storage medium to implement the design of the network. The infrastructure includes a number of physical locations to house the network, with the design at least being based on the infrastructure specifications. The selection process is based on the rules and the infrastructure specifications. Note that in one embodiment, the implementation at least specifies one communication characteristic between two of the products to be housed in two physical locations.
