Abstract: An engine balancing system includes an engine body. At least two slider-crank mechanisms are provided inside the engine body. One of the slider-crank mechanisms is arranged opposite to the other slider-crank mechanism. A slider in one of the slider-crank mechanisms is moved at a speed and acceleration similar to a speed and acceleration of a slider in the other slider-crank mechanism. The slider-crank mechanism includes a connecting rod and a crankshaft with a crank. One end of one of the slider-crank mechanisms and one end of the other slider-crank mechanism are connected to the same crankshaft through the crank. The balancing system can effectively eliminate first-order, second-order and higher-order vibrations generated during engine operation, thus reducing the probability of equipment damage.

Abstract: The invention provides primary batteries that incorporate a desodiated sodium transition metal oxide into the positive electrode (a cathode). Batteries of the invention using a desodiated sodium transition metal oxide in the cathode exhibit discharge voltages, battery capacities, and energy densities higher than a traditional Zn—MnO2 dry cell battery, such as a commercially available AA battery. These batteries are also advantageous over comparable lithium ion batteries due to the high abundance and low cost of sodium precursor materials with similar electrical performance.

Abstract: A system for controlling operation of a brushless DC motor is provided. The system includes a memory, driving profile and motor controllers, and an inverter. The memory stores: a scaling factor indicative of how much to increase an operating parameter of a base driving profile; and the base driving profile indicative of speed over time of a drive cycle of the brushless DC motor. The driving profile controller generates a motor driving profile, indicating an operating parameter for driving the brushless DC motor, where the operating parameter is based on (i) the scaling factor, and (ii) the base driving profile. The controller generates a control signal based on the operating parameter of the motor driving profile. The inverter: receives a direct current from a DC source; responsively to the control signal, converts the direct current to an alternating current; and drives the brushless DC motor via the alternating current.

The first current flows in the first direction when a winding of a motor is being supplied with energy and flows in the second direction when the winding of the motor is discharging energy.

For both the apparatus and method, the target voltage is between and substantially different from the first and second supply voltages.

Abstract: An automatic control apparatus for a carburetor choke valve includes a pull-rod, throttle control lever, choke block, and temperature control assembly which is arranged on a cylinder head through a bracket having a rotating shaft and coil spring. The rotating shaft is connected to the spring and one end of the pull-rod via a rotary arm. The other end of the pull-rod is located at a choke valve shaft. The block and valve shaft are connected to respective ends of the lever. During cold start, the block is opened driving the lever to pull the valve shaft. When rotated through a certain angle the valve shaft is blocked by part of the pull-rod, such that the valve and block cannot be fully opened. During warm start, the valve shaft when returning is blocked by another part of the pull-rod such that the valve cannot fully close.
