20060087292 - Energy attenuating device with the dynamical and adaptive damping feature: A new methodology for dealing with the Electric-Magnetic Anti-skid Braking System (EMABS) and recycling the regenerating energy on braking is proposed. Developing a dynamic damper which comprising positive and negative type resistors connected in series becomes a fast switch with adaptation, attenuation and fast recovery system properties, is a crucial...

20060087293 - Ac generator with independently controlled field rotational speed: A generator system is configured to supply relatively constant frequency AC power when driven by a variable speed prime mover, by independently controlling the main rotor flux rotational speed. The generator system includes an exciter stator that induces current in the exciter rotor windings at a desired frequency and phasing....

20060082347 - Vehicle power-generation control unit and vehicle power-generation control system: The vehicle power-generation control unit has a first function enabled when a control signal received from outside designates a first mode to control an exciting current such that an output power of a vehicle generator is kept at a value specified by the control signal, a second function enabled when...

20060076935 - Ion engine power supply: A power supply for an ion engine comprises a multiphase alternator and a power converter comprising a voltage multiplier coupled to each phase of the alternator. Each voltage multiplier comprises one or more staged voltage doublers. The alternator phases may be coupled to each other in a Y configuration such...
