Disclosed is a horizontal axis wind turbine of an downwind type having a rotor disposed downwind of a tower, comprising: a rotor having a hub and a blade; a nacelle to support the rotor rotatably through a main shaft connected to the hub; a cylindrical tower supporting to enable free yaw rotation of the nacelle; and an exhaust fan disposed on the nacelle, to exhaust an air inside the nacelle, wherein the cylindrical tower has a plurality of through-holes which are formed in a wall of the tower a...

A horizontal contour correction circuit for correcting a horizontal contour of a video signal to output as a corrected signal, comprising: a delay circuit for outputting video signal values of a video signal at at least three different times either before or after a reference time, the video signal containing video signal values being input in a time serial manner; a plurality of selection circuits each for combining video signal values selected in advance from a group of video signal values out...

A horizontal type compressor comprising: a differential pressure plate for dividing an inside of a casing into a high pressure chamber and a lower pressure chamber and thus maintaining an oil level of the high pressure chamber to be higher than that of the lower pressure chamber; and a lubricating unit for supplying oil stored in the high pressure chamber to each sliding part in the compressor and making the oil which finished a lubricating operation return to the high pressure chamber from the ...

A wheel suspension assembly for a vehicle is operable to travel across a ground surface. The wheel suspension assembly includes a first suspension member, a second suspension member, a wheel rotatably coupled to the first suspension member and a ball stud interconnecting the first and second suspension members. The ball stud includes a ball and a tapered shaft. The tapered shaft extends along a longitudinal axis. One of the first and second suspension members includes a ball socket in receipt of...

Means for the releasable horizontal coupling of shipping containers at their standard corner fittings is provided by a horizontal connector having a pair of parallel spaced-apart planar exterior walls, a pivot housing extending transversely outward from each of the walls, and a separately operable chuck pivotally mounted for rotation in each pivot housing. Each chuck includes a latching surface which is first engaged in a corner-fitting recess of a container and then urged to gather a one of the...

A system for maintaining a two-legged hydrophone array in a horizontal plane is disclosed. This system uses a pair of directional maneuverable drogue chutes for providing tension on the hydrophone arrays and for maintaining the desired angle between the two legs.

A horizontal deflection system with a transformer coupled driver including separate trace and retrace drivers coupled to an input winding or windings of the driver transformer is shown. A feedback or pulse forming means is connected from the transformer to the input of the retrace driver for providing a pulse to the retrace driver in response to termination of the trace drive signal by the trace driver.

A horizontal vibratory centrifuge, which includes a slurry separating component; a drive motor; a drive unit for rotating the separating component; a feed pipe for feeding the slurry into the separating component; a product discharge for discharging the solid portion of the slurry from the separating component and a pipe for discharging the fluid portion from the separating component; at least one vibratory motor mounted onto the drive unit; a plurality of connecting rods moveably connecting the...

A horizontal wellpointing system is provided wherein a trenching vehicle digs a trench while perforated flexible pipe having a filter material is placed along the trench. The pipe is covered as the trench is refilled and a subsequent evacuating pressure is applied to the pipe by an above ground pump.

A device for uncoupling and thereafter recoupling both ends of horizontally travelling bars to a conveyor consisting of two parallel chains. Each chain is provided with a great number of supporting means composed of an unmovable first member and a rotatable second member capable of receiving and temporarily retaining an end of a bar and of releasing said end again. The locking and unlocking of the end of the bar is rendered possible by a rotational movement of said second member caused by four s...
