Apparatus and methods for variable furnace control

A furnace control system for controlling a gas-fired induced-draft furnace having a variable speed inducer blower. A control apparatus, responsive to a signal corresponding to the magnitude of a pressure difference between an inlet and outlet of the combustion chamber, controls blower motor speed to maintain the pressure difference at a predetermined magnitude corresponding to a selected gas flow rate. Inducer blower motor speed is varied directly and precisely to maintain an optimal pressure drop across the combustion chamber. The control system can be used in multi-stage and modulating furnace systems and in furnace systems utilizing pressure-assist modulating gas valves.

Paracorporeal respiratory assist lung

A paracorporeal respiratory assist lung is configured with an annular cylindrical hollow fiber membrane (fiber bundle) that is rotated at rapidly varying speeds. Fluid (for example, blood) is introduced to the center of the device and is passed radially through the fiber bundle. The bundle is rotated at rapidly changing velocities with a rotational actuator (for example, a motor or magnetic coupling). The rotation of the fiber bundle provides centrifugal kinetic energy to the fluid giving the device pumping capabilities and may create Taylor vortexes to increase mass transfer. Rotation of the fiber bundle increases the relative velocity between the fluid and the hollow fibers and increases the mass transfer. The porosity of the fiber bundle may be varied to enhance gas exchange with the blood. Alternatively, a rotating core may be used with a stationary fiber bundle.

Pole-change type motor

Disclosed is a pole-change type motor that provides a variable-speed (two-pole or four-pole type) operation system capable of reducing the load of the motor of the normal operation system and improving the cooling efficiency. In case of a quick operation, the motor switches over to the two-pole type according to the control of a relay section. At this time, the load of the motor is reduced by offsetting an abnormal magnetic field distribution formed due to the same polarity of adjacent main windings using compensation windings of an opposite polarity. If the quick operation is needed, the motor switches over to the two-pole type, and operates at a high speed to achieve the quick cooling. Then, if a standard operation is possible with the lapse of the predetermined time, the motor switches over to the four-pole type, and operates at a low speed to achieve an effective cooling.

Center pivot irrigation system with placement control providing zones with variable depths of application

A center pivot irrigation system is described that includes a controller that makes use of a particular flow rate of input water to deliver differing or variable depths of irrigation to two or more user-defined areas under a pivot irrigator. The controller operates to pulse control valves for the nozzles / sprinkler heads on and off as the sprinkler arm rotates. The valve pattern along the span of the sprinkler arm is chosen during each operating cycle such that the total water flow through all the open valves matches the flow rate of the input or supply water to the pivot irrigator. To ensure the variable application depth, the speed may be changed during valve duty cycles. A farmer may define an irrigation plan that defines the variable rate irrigation (VRI) zones and also defines exclusion or no spray zones in which no irrigation should occur.
