A heat engine (10) achieves operational efficiencies by: 1) recovering waste heat from heat engine expander (14) to preheat heat-engine working fluid, 2) using super-heated working fluid from compressor (402) to pre-heat heat-engine working fluid, and 3) using reject heat from condenser (93) and absorber (95) to heat the heat-engine boiler (12). A dual heat-exchange generator (72) affords continuous operation by using gas-fired heat exchanger (212) to heat generator (72) when intermittent heat source (40), e.g., solar, is incapable of heating generator (72). The combination of heat engine (10) and absorption and compression heat transfer devices (60, 410) allows use of low-temperature heat sources such as solar, bio-mass, and waste heat to provide refrigeration, heating, work output including pumping and heating of subterranean water and electrical generation.

Waste heat energy conversion cycles, systems and devices use multiple waste heat exchangers arranged in series in a waste heat stream, and multiple thermodynamic cycles run in parallel with the waste heat exchangers in order to maximize thermal energy extraction from the waste heat stream by a working fluid. The parallel cycles operate in different temperature ranges with a lower temperature work output used to drive a working fluid pump. A working fluid mass management system is integrated into or connected to the cycles.

A method and apparatus for accurately determining TTX: in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. Gas pressure is measured in the cylinder relative to crank angle, giving rise to a curve of gas pressure with crank angle. An offset is found by first computing the angular position of an inflexion point of the compression pressure curve measured as a function of the crank angle, and then computing the offset as the difference between the angular position of a piston in the cylinder and a theoretical value for said angular position of the piston dependent on a known or measured flywheel angle. The value of TDC corrected by the offset is then used to calculate a value of work output such as the indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP) which may be used for diagnostic and/or control purposes.

A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based heat engine capable of converting thermal energy gradients into mechanical or electrical energy, as well as its fabrication process is disclosed. This heat engine design consists of a stressed oscillating beam formed from a shape memory alloy (SMA) thin film. As the temperature of the beam changes, its shape changes due to the phase transformation of the shape memory alloy, causing it to oscillate between a hot source and a cold source. Due to the hysteretic behavior of the phase transformation, the oscillating SMA cantilever beam produces a net mechanical work output that may be either converted to electrical energy or mechanically linked to other MEMS devices.

A self-propelled working machine, which performs work by using power of an internal combustion engine 10 and travels by using power of an electric motor 30, includes a mechanical governor 75 for maintaining the engine at a designated engine rotational speed Nf. A load control mechanism for the working machine has a maximum working output calculator that calculates a maximum working output Qf from the designated engine rotational speed, an actual working load calculator that calculates an actual working load Qr from the designated engine rotational speed Nf and a detected actual engine rotational speed Nr, and a limit speed calculator that calculates a limit speed Vc from the maximum working output Qf and the actual working load Qr. A travel controller operates and controls the electric motor 30 by setting a travel speed V to the limit speed Vc when the actual engine rotational speed Nr is decreased to be lower than the designated engine rotational speed Nf. The travel speed of the working machine is automatically controlled so that the working load is calculated from the driving condition of the internal combustion engine to ensure the working load to be appropriate. Thus excellent finish of the working is maintained and the operator is relieved from burden.

The present invention comprises correlated magnet actuators, devices incorporating said actuators, and methods of use thereof. The actuators utilize magnetic drives comprising a pair of complimentary correlated permanent magnet pairs, arranged in a separable and opposing fashion. The attractive or repulsive force of each correlated magnet pair drops significantly after only a few degrees of rotation off of a prime attractive or repulsive rotational alignment, allowing the magnets to be binarily manipulated between a correlated and decorrelated alignment. The linear motion resulting from the periodic coupling and decoupling of the magnetic pair can be translated to supporting conveyance structures to produce rotary (torque) output work. This output work can be harnessed to drive secondary utilization components such as a generator or a pump, or other devices dependent on rotary work output for their operation.

The user interface of the present invention includes a region that displays multiple different colors or colored objects, at least some of which are selectable by the user, wherein for these selectable colors or colored objects, only in-gamut colors are displayed.
