Patent number: 10733901Abstract: In example embodiments, there is provided a dynamic dispatcher simulator for an electrical power system. The dynamic dispatcher simulator can be operable to receive an input from a user identity during a run time, wherein the input represents a disturbance event indicative of a simulated disturbance to an electrical power system. Based on the input, a signal can be transmitted to a transient simulation engine component. The transient simulation engine component can output simulated phasor measurement unit data representative of the disturbance event to a wide area monitoring system that facilitates a display of alarms in response to the receipt of the simulated phasor measurement unit data. The dynamic dispatcher training simulator can also receive another input from the user during the run time, the second input being representative of a simulated condition related to the electrical power system.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: General Electric Technology GmbHInventors: Robert Fairchild, Srinivasan Radhakrishnan, Manu Parashar, Jay Giri

Patent number: 7412712Abstract: Slider devices having a misalignment tolerance may include a slider frame and two or more approximately parallel shafts that are configured to elastically shift within fixed shaft supports. Each shaft is slideably disposed within one or more fixed shaft support, so that the slider frame may extend or retract along an axis approximately parallel to the long axis of the shafts. In some versions, the shafts are elastically mounted to the slider frame. Also described are methods of sliding a slider having misalignment tolerance by moving the slider device to extend or retract a slider frame comprising two or more approximately parallel shafts that are configured to elastically shift within fixed shaft supports.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2005Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventor: Robert Fairchild

Publication number: 20060188361Abstract: Storage systems for use with data storage devices (including cartridges) may include a track connecting a plurality storage libraries and a transporter for transferring a cartridge within and between the storage libraries. The track may comprise a cam pathway, and the transporter may comprise a shuttle for holding a cartridge and a cam follower for following the cam pathway. Thus, as the transporter is moved along the track, the position of the transporter's shuttle may correspond to the position of the cam follower as it follows the cam pathway. Methods of transporting a storage device from a first storage library to a second storage library are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2005Publication date: August 24, 2006Applicant: Quantum CorporationInventors: Robert Fairchild, Kurt Buckland

Publication number: 20060183585Abstract: Methods and systems for integrated belt tensioning devices are provided. One exemplary device includes a pulley, a biasing member, and an indicator. The biasing member (e.g., a spring or the like) is adapted to bias the pulley to a biased position. The indicator is associated with the position of the pulley and varies according to the relative position of the pulley to the biased position. Tension from a belt acting on the pulley displaces the pulley away from the biased position, against the biasing force. The indicator varies according to the relative position of the pulley from the biased position and may thereby be correlated to tension in the belt. The belt tensioning device may be used with automated storage libraries, e.g., a cross-link mechanism or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2005Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: Quantum CorporationInventor: Robert Fairchild
