Methods and systems associated with free piston compressors. Fuel is ignited within a combustion chamber to increase pressure. A free piston is displaced within the combustion chamber. The free piston acts as an inertial load to high-pressure gas generated by combustion of the fuel. High pressure gas is pumped from the combustion chamber into a reservoir using the free piston. A spring, magnet, or other mechanism engaging the free piston may be used to assist the process. In the case of a spring, the spring assists returning the free piston to its approximate initial position as the spring expands. In the case of a magnet, the magnet may engage opposite ends of the free piston during the process. Two or more free pistons may be used. The system may be used as a power source for equipment such as a robot.

A method and apparatus for starting an engine in a hybrid vehicle being driven by an electric motor is disclosed. The motor is operably configured to deliver mechanical power through an automatic transmission to at least one vehicle drive wheel to cause an acceleration of the vehicle. The method involves coupling the engine to the motor to cause an inertial load on the motor thus causing the motor to decelerate to a reduced rotational speed to provide a starting torque to the engine for starting the engine, and causing the automatic transmission to change gear ratio to a target gear ratio associated with the reduced rotational speed while causing the motor to decelerate, the motor being operable to deliver increased torque at the reduced rotational speed, thereby generally maintaining the acceleration of the vehicle.

A resistance system, which can be suitable for incorporation in exercise equipment, is a “hybrid” resistance assembly having at least a first and a second resistance unit. The first resistance unit can be of a first type and the second resistance unit can be of a second type. The first resistance unit can be an inertial resistance unit, which incorporates an inertial load that creates resistance influenced by the inertia of a movable mass, such as a rotatable flywheel. The second resistance unit can be a static or non-inertial resistance unit, such as a displacement resistance unit, which incorporates a load that creates resistance influenced by displacement (e.g., linear or rotational displacement) of an input to the displacement resistance unit.

A linear traverse mechanism for guiding the spooling of a flexible linear product at high speed, made possible by reducing the inertial load of the mechanism while reducing the angular deflection of the filament. The mechanism includes a pivotally mounted traverse arm controlled by an electric motor having precision indexing ratio characteristics to compensate for linear error. In one embodiment, the linear product is fed through a guiding means carried by said traverse arm to be discharged adjacent a receiving spool. Control of movement of the traverse arm depends upon manually controlled programming means, which compares a desired position of the traverse arm with an actually attained position of the arm.

An active vibration suppression apparatus includes an actuator fixed to a vibration suppression target, an inertial load driven relative to the target by the actuator, and a driving system which drives the actuator based on a first signal corresponding to the vibration, generated or to be generated, of the target. The driving system includes a compensation unit which performs a compensation for the first signal. The compensation, separately or as a composite compensation includes (i) a linear compensation for the first signal to obtain a first compensated signal, and (ii) a nonlinear compensation for the first compensated signal to obtain a second compensated signal. A rate of a change in the second compensated signal to a change in an absolute value of the first compensated signal becoming less with an increase of the absolute value.

An aircraft stowage bin assembly includes shear fittings configured to route a content load from the bucket of the bin assembly to the airframe in the event of a forward load condition, such as a crash or severe turbulence. When the forward inertial load factor on the stowage bin is greater than about 1 g, the shear fittings create an efficient load path from the bucket to the airframe which bypasses the large metallic or composite endframes required by the designs of many conventional overhead stowage bins. As a result, significant reductions in overall bulk and weight, as well as lower manufacturing costs, can be realized.

An arrangement for suspending a Single Point Mooring Turret from its corresponding vessel, by transmitting a circumferentially uniform axial vertical load without moment through the interface of motion between the vessel and turret, by decoupling mooring system loads, inertial loads and hull deflection induced loads, from transmission across that interface. The arrangement supports the turret through a pendular suspension system which includes bogies, having one or more wheels or rollers per bogie, which roll around the circumference of the moonpool on a rail to allow the bogies to rotate in a horizontal plane which is perpendicular to the center line of the moonpool, and to decouple the bearing loads from radial hull deflection due to ovaling caused by rough seas. Radial flexure is achieved by suspending the turret from the bogie through rocker arms and chains, cables, rods or columns between the bogies and a riser support structure of the turret.

The method comprises the steps of first calculating loads which fuel is subjected to in the X-direction, Y-direction and Z-direction by utilizing the principle that the loads can be overlaid linearly in the structure on-line elastic range; respectively calculating pressure distribution of each end face of the inner wall of the fuel tank under unidirectional overloads; finally overlaying pressure generated by each unidirectional overload, and obtaining pressure distribution of the wing fuel tank; establishing a wing fuel tank local detail finite element model in a full-aircraft overall finite element model, adding the pressure load of each end face of the fuel tank to the finite element model, applying corresponding working condition aerodynamic loads, and performing finite element stress analysis to obtain finite element stress result under each working condition. Under the conditions that the aircraft wing integral fuel tank is not pressurized and an inertial load of the fuel to the fuel tank exists, the method for calculating the load of the fuel tank is used for intensity assessment, and the load which the fuel tank is subjected to can be reflected genuinely.
