Abstract

A stability control system—a dynamic active control system configured for total vessel pitch axis control by fast symmetric deployment of water engagement devices, coupled with engine trim adjustments and total roll and heading control by differentially deploying water engagement devices to counter rolling motions associated with water engagement device delta position. The software module is further configured with a control strategy that limits the bias of the water engagement devices as the marine vessel accelerates or decelerates in order to provide improved stability during marine vessel operation. The control strategy can maintain the bias static within a certain limited configuration (e.g., related to the speed of the marine vessel) until the limited configuration is no longer present.

Abstract

A software-based commissioning strategy for customization of a new marine vessel having a newly installed stability/dynamic active control system. The commissioning strategy will be implemented by using a proprietary customer-facing software embedded within a software module of a newly installed dynamic active control system for a new marine vessel (and a new hull type). The software-controlled commissioning strategy is configured to automatically determine the appropriate feedback gains for the marine vessel by controlling the deployment of the water engagement devices while simultaneously measuring and capturing the data generated from the resulting list angle, roll angle, roll rate, and yaw rate changes associated with the deployment. The software driven commissioning strategy is further configured for auto-calibrating the following functional parameters of the new marine vessel: (1) Speed-Based Bias Adjustments (SBBAs), (2) Roll Overall Gain (ROG), (3) Pitch Overall Gain (POG) and (4) Yaw Rate Gain (YRG) of the marine vessel.

Abstract

A water engagement actuator system and device comprising a rotary actuator connected to a support structure adapted to be connected to a marine vessel is provided. The rotary actuator includes a driven shaft and a undriven slave shaft disposed opposite the driven shaft. The rotary actuator further comprises at least one pair of bearings enclosed within a clean sealed environment; water engagement device having an arced blade connected to the driven shaft; at least one encoder disposed in a space separating the undriven slave shaft from the driven shaft. A controller is communicatively connected to the rotary actuator to command rotation of the driven shaft such that the water engagement device is automatically moved to a position between a retracted position and a deployed position in order to provide dynamic active control of the marine vessel. The rotary actuator is further configured to absorb any hydrodynamic drag load generated from the marine vessel with no more than two rotary shaft seals and counteract any unintended disturbance by automatic deployment of the arced blade—at 100 mm/s or more—into the water and provide dynamic active control of a marine vessel.

Abstract

Cooling apparatus for transferring heat from and cooling one or more heat generating components that support or drive a flywheel or other spinning member. The apparatus may include a first heat transfer element attached to and spinning with the spinning member, a second heat transfer element stationary with respect to the spinning member, wherein the first and second heat transfer elements move relative to one another, and wherein the first and second heat transfer elements are shaped and positioned in close proximity to one another so that substantial heat is transferred from the first heat transfer element to the second heat transfer element. Alternatively, the apparatus may include a set of rotating vanes mounted to rotate with the spinning member, an orifice configured to direct a spray of cooling liquid onto the rotating vanes, wherein the cooling liquid is sprayed onto the rotating vanes at a radially inward location, so that the liquid flows radially outward over the surface of the vanes as a thin film of liquid, and is thrown off the vanes by centrifugal action, and collecting apparatus configured to collect the liquid thrown off of the vanes.

Abstract

A machine for electrochemically polishing indentations within the wall of an aluminum workpiece, such as a wheel, has a cathode attached to an upper platen. The workpiece is mounted upon a lower platen which acts as an anode. Electrolyte is passed between the cathode and the anode while simultaneously a current is applied which passes through the cathode and the anode. The current is selectively pulsed to maximize polishing but at the same time to permit the flushing away of residual material and to cool the cathode and the workpiece.

Abstract

An abrasive flow apparatus for polishing a workpiece wherein a horizontal machine tool is adapted such that a workpiece may be secured to first shaft rotatable about a first longitudinal axis. A conjugate form to the workpiece may be secured to a second shaft which is rotatable about a second longitudinal axis. The workpiece and conjugate form are secured to each shaft in a manner such that they are facing one another and slightly set apart to define a gap. A flowable abrasive media is introduced within this gap. The centerlines of the workpiece and the conjugate form are offset from one another such that rotation of the shafts in the same direction and at the same rotational speed produces relative motion between the workpiece and the conjugate form thereby polishing the workpiece. A slide may be used for axially positioning the first shaft and the second shaft a predetermined distance to define the size of the gap. A feeder may be used for introducing flowable abrasive media within a work zone defined by the volume of the gap between the workpiece and the conjugal form.
