Improvements relating to the Utilization of Exhaust Steam for Heating Purposes and for the Production of Power.

28,841. Wharton, J. S. L., Hallowell, W. S., and Jones, J. C., [trading as Harrison Safety Boiler Works]. Dec. 21. Plant.-A system for utilizing exhaust steam partly in a heater, such as a feed-water heater, and partly in a low-pressure prime mover, such as a turbine, is provided with valves which ensure the desired supply of steam to the heater and allow surplus steam to pass to the lowpressure prime mover. Live steam is admitted automatically to the heater when the exhaust supply is insufficient. The heater and the turbine are connected to the exhaust line in parallel. A valve 13 in the pipe 7 conveying exhaust steam to the heater 8 reduces the pressure of the steam entering the heater to a predetermined pressure. When the steam falls below that pressure, the valve 13 or a non- return valve 19 closes, and a valve 15 in a live steam pipe connected to the pipe 7 opens. A non-return valve only may be fitted in the pipe 7. The heater is provided with a relief valve 12.

Datasets

Data is separated from source. Datasets store tables of data and a graph of the relationships between the tables. The relationship can change at any time. The relationships are described by metadata that describe primary key, foreign key, and lookups, and other relationships between tables. In one embodiment, the tables of data are typed columns of data. The dataset also includes information on the rowstate and differential preservation, therefore, the source does not need to manage states of the data access. Adapters abstract the interface to datasets. More specifically, adapters manage the input/output to the datasets of the tables of data and the relationships. Adapters can be specialized in their purpose, such as an adapter for OLE data or XML data or generalized in their purpose. Furthermore, a composite adapter is specialized for the purpose of interacting with other adapters. Adapters manage the connection to the dataset and the name of the server that hosts the dataset. Data hoisting is implemented, in which the fluid relationship of data is changed in response to current data needs.

An electric aircraft has a fault-tolerant electrical system designed to optimize competing concerns related to cost, performance, and safety. An electrical system in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure has a plurality of power sources (e.g., batteries) that are connected to other electrical components, such as motors for driving propellers or flight control surfaces, by a plurality of electrical buses. Each such bus is electrically isolated from the other buses to help the system better withstand electrical faults. Further, one or more of the electrical buses is connected to motors for driving multiple propellers. Selection of the propellers to be powered by energy received from the same bus is optimized so as to limit the effect of an electrical fault on the stability and controllability of the aircraft.

Systems and methods for calibrating vehicular sensors

A vehicular monitoring system (5) has a plurality of sensors (20, 30) that are used to sense the presence of objects (15) around a vehicle (10, 52) for detecting collision threats. At least one of the sensors is positioned such that a portion of the vehicle is at a predefined location relative to the sensor and is within the sensor's field of view. As an example, for an aircraft, a sensor may be positioned such that a portion of the aircraft's wing, aerospike, or other structure is within the sensor's field of view. The system is configured to automatically calibrate the sensor and, if desired, other sensors using the portion of the vehicle at the predefined location.

Restraint device

A restraint device mountable directly onto a flange of a flanged support to form a force restraint system therewith, comprises planar surface elements (10, 12) locatable directly onto a flange or flanges at a required position. The support elements are pivotally connected to one another for movement relative to one another in the plane of the elements and each element carries a clamp arm (16) with a clamping bolt (26) whereby the device may be clamped to the flange or flanges in a firm non-tilting manner. The pivotal connection (14) between the surface elements (10) and (12) enables the clamp arms (16) to be movable between operative and inoperative positions whereby the device may be directly mounted on or removed from the beam flange or flanges at the required position thereon.
