HUBODOMETER WITH ORBITING DETECTION AND CANCELATION
Operation of a hubodometer includes orbiting detection and cancelation. In particular, in a hubodometer having a housing that rotates relative to a pendulous assembly, such operation includes detecting, by at least one orbiting sensor operatively connected to the pendulous assembly, an orbiting condition of the pendulous assembly, the orbiting condition being at least partly defined by an orbiting direction. Thereafter, and responsive to the detection of the orbiting condition, operation of the hubodometer further comprises applying, by an electric actuator operatively connected to the pendulous assembly, a countervailing force to the pendulous assembly in a direction opposite the orbiting direction. Through application of the countervailing force, the orbiting condition may be canceled.

Sensor and/or power-harvesting apparatus are provided for sensing and/or harvesting energy across a relatively wide dynamic range of a driving rotational input. The apparatus may include a rotor magnet (10, 62) responsive to a driving rotational input (14, 64). Utilization of a togging effect or a magnetic spring effect results in certain rapid-rotation events where the rotor magnet can rapidly rotate regardless of a low rate of rotation of the driving rotational input. A coil assembly (28, 75) is magnetically coupled to the rotor magnet to generate a signal in response to rotation of the rotor magnet during the rapid-rotation events. This signal may be used to harvest electrical energy and/or may be processed to determine characteristics of the driving rotational input.

Pivotal motion (36) of an operating lever (34) is transferred to a crank (24) attached to a shaft (22) of a rotary switch by a linkage which conveys linear motion (32). The linkage may include one or more linkage arms (46, 26) and a rocker arm 48 interconnecting the linkage arms. A spring mechanism assists the start of motion of the crank toward an intermediate position and away from both switch connected and switch disconnected positions where the linkage has a reduced mechanical advantage.
A compact, high reliability bus transfer device (40) for low voltage applications. The bus transfer device includes two vacuum contactors (42a, 42b) mounted together (48, 50) in a back-to-back arrangement such that the axes of the respective interlock arms (46a, 46b) are aligned with ends (54a, 54b) of the respective interlock arms proximate each other such that the interlock arms are prevented from being in their respective connected positions simultaneously by direct mechanical interference between the interlock arms. A spacer (44) disposed between the contactors provides a gliding surface to support the interlock arms during movement.
A switchboard (40) for powering a submersible pump (44) which is configurable for a wide range of input voltages. Control circuitry (60) of the switchboard requiring a specified low voltage (58) is powered by a step-down transformer (52) with first and second primary windings (P1, P2). Jumpers (J1, J2) on a terminal board (20) selectively connect the two primary windings to a medium voltage power supply (42) in either a series configuration or in a parallel configuration. A step-down secondary winding (S1 ) provides multiple output voltage taps (XN). A selected position of the jumpers and a selection among the output taps provide the specified low voltage for a wide range of input voltages while maintaining a safe creepage distance (C1 ) between terminals on the terminal board.
