摘要： A magnetic braking system for inhibiting excessive motion between a float and a column intended to be placed in a body of water; with the float and column moving relative to each other as a function of the waves present in the body of water. The braking system includes a permanent magnetic assembly (PMA) mounted on, and attached to, one of the float and column and a coil assembly (or a conductive plate) mounted on, and attached to, the other one of the float and column. The braking system is mounted such that motion between the float and the column is inhibited when the displacement of the float relative to the column exceeds a predetermined operating range.

摘要： An ocean wave energy converter (WEC) utilizes the relative motion between permanent magnet and induction coil assemblies to generate electricity. The permanent magnet assemblies and induction coil assemblies are separately housed in watertight enclosures, enabling a wide range of wave energy converter configurations, nearly unlimited stroke and obviating the need for a common magnet/coil enclosure with seals. The magnet assemblies are constructed with surface or buried magnets. The wave motion moves a magnet assembly relative to a stationary coil assembly, or vice versa. Either the magnet assembly or the induction coil assembly are made long enough to provide the generation of electricity over a desired operational range of travel. Various means are provided to maintain the spacing (“gap”) between the magnetic and coil assemblies relatively constant.

摘要： A speech-to-text conversion system. The two-way speech recognition and dialect system comprises a computer system, an attached microphone assembly, and speech-to-text conversion software. The two-way speech recognition and dialect system includes a database of dialectal characteristics and queries a user to determine their likely dialect. The system uses this determination to reduce the time for the system to reliably transcribe a user's speech into text and to anticipate dialectal word usage. In another embodiment of the invention, the two-way speech recognition and dialect system is capable of transcribing the speech of multiple speakers while distinguishing between the different speakers and identifying the text belonging to each speaker.

摘要： A plurality of signals to be separated in time as well as in frequency areimultaneously applied to the input of a power amplifier whose output is applied to the input of a fast-tuned filter. The filter is capable of being almost-instantaneously tuned to any of the frequencies of the input signals to control the output at any given time or combinations of times. The filter is in the form of a coaxial section with an input to the inner conductor of the coaxial section and the output taken from a strip line, parallel to the inner coaxial conductor, coupled to a coaxial output cable at the top of the coaxial filter. The tuning is by a plurality of inductive spokes positioned at various locations within the filter, and connected between the inner and outer coaxial conductors by switching diodes, that are externally controlled, to provide almost instantaneous control of the resonant frequency of the filter.

摘要： A wave energy converter (WEC), for use in a body of water of depth Dw, includes a tubular structure and a piston within the tubular structure where the relative motion between the piston and the tubular structure is used to generate electric power. The length (L) of the tubular structure may be selected to have a predetermined value based on the fact that: (a) the efficiency of the power generated by WEC increases as the length “L” of the tubular structure increases from a minimal value until L reaches an optimal value; and (b) the efficiency decreases as L is increased beyond the optimal value due to the increased mass of the water that the tubular structure and the piston have to move.

摘要： A wave energy converter (WEC) including an electric generator for capturing energy contained in ocean waves and converting it to electrical energy at the output of the electric generator may be characterized as an effective capacitive (or inductive) element. Systems embodying the invention include an inductive (or capacitive) element inserted in the circuit between the output of the electric generator and a load in order to achieve resonance with the effective capacitance (inductance) of the WEC and so as to increase the efficiency of the power transfer to the load. In certain embodiments the load coupled to the system has an optimum value which is made a function of the frequency of the ocean waves and the effective capacitance (or inductance). The effective capacitance (inductance) of the converter varies as a function of the frequency of the ocean waves. Accordingly, systems embodying the invention may include a controller for varying the load and/or the inductive (capacitive) element coupled in the system to resonate with the converter for increasing the efficiency of the system.

摘要： An anti-fouling device comprises a layer of piezoelectric material, preferably a poled plastic material such as a PVDF polymer, for mounting on the hull of a watercraft. The layer has electrodes on opposite major surfaces thereof, and the layers are connected to a power supply comprising a battery and a d.c. to a.c. converter. The converter generates an a.c. voltage at a frequency, e.g., 20 KHz, for causing vibrations of the layer, such vibrations serving to retard the growth of water dwelling organisms in the craft. The layer electrodes are also connected to an a.c. to d.c. converter for converting a.c. energy to d.c. energy suitable for trickle charging the power supply battery. Accordingly, during transit of the craft through the water, water induced hull vibrations cause vibrations of the layer for generating a.c. energy for storage in the battery, which stored energy is used for causing anti-fouling vibrations of the energy generating layer.
