20090206601Power control system and method - This invention discloses a power control system comprising a prime mover and a generator driven by the prime mover. A control device is coupled with the generator to ascertain a change in speed of the generator and vary an output power of the generator according to the change. The control device applies a signal to reduce the generator output power and another signal to restore the generator output power. The power control system may include a transmission, a speed converter, and/or an accessory.08-20-2009

20100138071System and method for generator phase signal monitoring and control of electrical current distribution - An electrical system comprises a generator and a control device coupled with the generator and operable to control electrical current through the electrical system via a switch module. The control device determines a loss of symmetry between two alternating phase signals generated by a first and second phase windings of a single or multiple stator generator. Specifically, the control device determines a first and second average values of two of the two or more alternating phase signals and operates to control electrical current distribution throughout the electrical system, via one or more switch modules, when the first average value differs from the second average value by a predetermined value. The control device may be further configured to sense average magnitudes of the electrical current in either direction between two electrical components, coupled with a switch module, and switch on/off the electrical current in either direction, via the switch module, to insure that the average magnitude of electrical current between the electrical components in either direction does not exceed one or more default average magnitudes.06-03-2010

20080267432Book with two speakers for generating a sound-field having two or more spatial dimensions - A book comprises two or more pages at least one of which is operable to visually display information about a subject, a first speaker mounted to a first page and operable to generate a sound, a second speaker mounted to a second page and operable to generate a sound, and an audio device operable to cause the first speaker to generate a first sound and the second speaker to generate a second sound, wherein the first and second sounds generate a sound-field having more than one spatial dimension. By generating a sound-field having more than one spatial dimension, the book can provide a reader an aural experience that is more accurate with the actual aural experience of the book's subject or aspect of the subject. Thus, the reader is more likely to accurately comprehend and appreciate the information that the book provides.10-30-2008
