Abstract: An electrical generator, comprising a rotatable impeller locatable within a flow path of a conduit. The impeller is rotated by fluid flowing along said flow path. The impeller comprises a magnetic portion, the generator further including a stator located external of the flow path. The stator generating electrical power in response to rotation of the magnetic portion.

Abstract: A hot surface re-ignition controller for use with a transformer for powering a hot surface igniter in a gas appliance. The design includes flame detection circuitry for interfacing with flame detecting electrodes and is completely implemented in analog circuitry to provide reliable operation in harsh environments.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a hot surface igniter (HSI) controller which is transformerless and which is capable of delivering power from a 120/240 VAC RMS mains voltage, for example, to a load whose nominal operational voltage is equivalent to 24 VAC RMS, for example, sinusoidal full wave AC Voltage. The controller provides an impulse range which is mainly designed to deliver power to hot surface igniter active loads with sufficient thermionic inertia and mass, and where the real voltage shape of supplied power is unimportant. This is achieved by supplying half-cycle pulses to the HIS that are separated by even number of half-cycles that are not supplied to the HIS. Thus the consecutively applied half-cycles are always of opposing polarity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image projection device having a linear array of LED's in a common substrate, a common lens group to collimate light from each LED, and a single dichroic wedge having dichroic coatings for reflecting each light source to a condensing means which condenses the light to a distal surface. The image projection device therefore provides for a smaller optical package which is more easily accommodated in mobile devices such as mobile telephones, and which is simple and cheap to manufacture.
