A person is either part of a certain category (such as a certain species or gender) that they do not feel all right with, and so they want to be part of a different category, or the person was assigned a certain category (often against their will) that they never belonged to in the first place, or some combination of both. Because of this, the person may want or need to change their body or nature or both. In fiction, Trans Nature can take any form, especially in Fantasy and Science Fiction. Note that trying to regain your true form (after having been cursed, for example) does not count. Starting to identify with your new form does, however. When a character is a fictional kind of Trans Nature, it is often a big part of this character being a hero or villain: Either he's a member of a oppressive/evil group transitioning to become one of the good and/or oppressed people, or we have a "traitor" who identifies with the "wrong" group. It can also work as an inversion of Internalized Categorism: Bob thinks men/humans are bad, but instead of denying himself the good things about being a man/human or doing bad things because he thinks that this is what being a "real" man/human means, he instead stop being a man/human — magically changing into something else. Expect the character to be in a world of trouble if there is No Transhumanism Allowed. May be caused by Humanity Is Infectious, or inversions thereof. In some cases, Trans Nature leads to Humanity Ensues. Note however that that trope is usually not combined with Trans Nature - instead, the animal resents having been transformed to a human. One very common form of Trans Nature is Pinocchio Syndrome: A robot, living doll or whatever wanting to become a real human. Supertrope of Transsexual and Pinocchio Syndrome. Sometimes a Sister Trope of Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence.

Why Do Babies Really Cry?
by Mike Stanz
posted Apr 15 2014 5:30AM
A scientist at Harvard has proposed a
very interesting theory
to explain why babies cry at night: it's to keep their moms exhausted and not ovulating, which delays the birth of another sibling. In other words, crying babies can be effective birth control. Be sure to check the family planning section of your nearest pharmacy for the endless loop recording of screaming infants.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
March 8, 1966 JOHNSON 3,238,886
FUEL PUMP Filed Jan. 11, 1965 INVENTOR ELDON A.JOHNSON, DECEASED,
United States Patent O 3,238,886 FUEL PUMP Eldon A. Johnson, deceased, late of St. Louis County,
Mo., by Dolores Johnson, administratrix, St. Louis County, Mo., assignor to ACF Industries, Incorporated,
New York, N.Y., a corporation of New Jersey Filed Jan. 11, 1965, Ser. No. 424,860 6 Claims. (Cl. 103-150) The present application is a continuation-in-part of application Serial Number 239,898 filed November 26, 196 2 which matured into Patent No. 3,182,601.
This invention is directed to fuel pumps and more particularly to a fuel pump adapted for use especially with small carburetors and small internal combustion engines, such as employed in power saws or power mowers.
Small inexpensive fuel pumps have been devised with may be added to the fuel system somewhere in the fuel line between the carburetor and the source of fuel. An example of such a diaphragm fuel pump is disclosed in the above cope-n-ding application Serial Number 239,898 of Eldon A. Johnson. Such fuel pumps consist of a small diaphragm forming a pair of chambers within a housing, one on either side of the diaphragm. One chamber is connected directly to the crankcase of the internal combustion engine, if it is a two-cycle engine, or to the intake manifold in a four-cycle engine installation. The other chamber in the housing is the pumping chamber for the fuel and is connected through check value passages to the source of fuel and to the carburetor. Pulsations provided by the engine during operation reciprocate the pump diaphragm to pump fuel from the source into the carburetor.
The pump structure is formed of a pair of intercfitting body members which are merely snapped together to clamp or grip a diaphragm positioned between the two body members. The body members are formed with matching or mating portions and one body member may be rotated relative to the other about a common axis allowing the pump to be adapted to any carburetor without requiring a specific fixed arrangement of the inlet and outlet nipples for each particular installation. To prevent leakage and assure efiicient operation, the diaphragm must be tightly sealed and gripped about its marginal portion when the two interfitting body members of the pump are snapped together.
The diaphragm is directed toward the pumping chamber at the end of its pumping stroke and it is desirable that the gripped marginal portion of the diaphragm slope toward the pumping chamber to eliminate stressing of the diaphragm adjacent the gripped marginal portion. On the suction stroke of the pump, bending of the diaphragm adjacent the inner wall surface of the fuel pump is in one direction which permits a rolling action of the diaphragm without reversal of any loop formed adjacent the marginal portion. Reversing of a loop in the diaphragm is defined as a change in the curvature of a loop from convex to concave upon movement of the diaphragm between strokes.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fuel pump having a diaphragm which is easily gripped and sealed between two interfitting body members of the pump with a minimum of stressing of the diaphragm upon movement during strokes.
An additional object is the provision of such a fuel pump in which any tendency of a loop in the diaphragm to reverse is eliminated.
A further object is to provide such a fuel pump having a diaphragm between two interfitting clamping body members with the body members arranged for relative rotative movement and the diaphragm easily gripped and held in sealed position without the necessity of any separate securing means.
Briefly described, the invention comprises a fuel pump having a pair of interfitting body members with one of the body members being cup-shaped and having an outer annular rim and an annular shoulder adjacent the rim forming a seat, the other of the body members having an annular extension telescoping within the cup-shaped member and adapted to be positioned adjacent the annular shoulder, and a circular diaphragm positioned across and sealed along its marginal portion between the annular extension and the annular shoulder, the annular seat and the annular extension having complementary oppositely facing generally smooth and parallel surfaces each sloping inwardly in a direction toward the fuel or pumpi-ng chamber so that the surfaces of the diaphragm form smooth continuations of the surfaces of the annular seat and annular extensions at the end of the pumping stroke whereby stressing of the diaphragm at the end of the pumping stroke is at a minimum and any tendency of the loop in the diaphragm to reverse is eliminated. Other objects and features will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the construction hereinafter described, the scope of the invention being indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawings, in which one of various possible embodiments of the invention is illustrated:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a fuel system comprising a carburetor attached to the manifold of an engine with the novel pump of this invention installed on the carburetor and connected to a source of fuel;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view of the pump of FIG- URE 1 showing the pump mounted on the carburetor;
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view taken general-1y along line 33 of FIGURE 2;
FIGURE 4 is a top plan of the lower body member of the pump shown in FIGURES 2 and 3, the upper body member being removed; and
FIGURE 5 is an enlarged fragment of FIGURE 2 showing means for gripping and scaling the marginal portion of the diaphragm.
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawing.
FIGURE 1 discloses a diaphragm fuel pump embodying a fuel system for a four-cycle operation. A carburetor indicated at 10 is mounted upon the intake manifold M of an internal combustion engine -E, which, for example, is a four-cycle engine. A fuel pump 12, in accordance with the invention, is mounted on the carburetor and is connected by a flexible tubing 14 from a nipple structure 16 to a fitting 18 to provide an air conduit between the engine intake manifold and pump 12. Another laterally extending nipple structure 20 is connected by fuel line 22 to a source of fuel, such as a fuel tank 24 schematically shown. The carburetor may be of a well-known type and consists primarily of a tubular air and fuel mixture conduit 26 attached by a flanged end 25 to the engine manifold, such as by stud 28 extending from the engine block. At the other end, an air filter housing 30 provides an opening to the mixture conduit 26. Within the filter housing 30 is a porous filter for removing dust and other particles from the air entering the carburetor. Rotatably mounted within the carburetor are a throttle valve structure 32 and a choke valve structure 34 to control the flow of air through the carburetor. Other details of the carburetor are well-known and are not illustrated.
Carburetor 10 is operated in a conventional manner to permit air flow into the engine manifold and to mix with the air a controlled amount of fuel to provide the proper combustible air and fuel mixture. Details of the fuel pump 12 are shown more specifically in FIGURES 2 and 3. Pump 12 consists essentially of a pair of interfitting oppositely facing cup-shaped body members generally designated 36 and 38. Diaphragm 40 is gripped along a peripheral marginal portion 41 between body members 36 and 38 and may be of any appropriate material, such as a fabric coated with a fuel resistant synthetic rubber material to provide suflicient flexibility and strength. A fuel pumping chamber 42 is formed between diaphragm 40 and lower cup-shaped member 38 while a substantially closed air chamber 44 is formed within upper cup-shaped member 36. Positive pressures in intake manifold M are relatively small and variable when the pump is utilized with a four-cycle engine. Thus, a coil spring 46 is positioned within an annular groove 48 of body member 36 to form a seat for one end of spring 46. Spring 46 drives the pump while providing a uniform pumping stroke and is loaded by the negative pressures in the intake engine manifold which are sufficient to fully load the spring.
Nipple 16 extends laterally from the top of cup-shaped member 36 while nipple 20 extends laterally from the bottom portion of cup-shaped member 38. Nipple 16 is formed with a passage 50 therethrough which connects air chamber 44 with flexible tubing 14 to manifold M of the engine. In a similar manner, a fuel inlet passage 52 extends through nipple 20 to connect pumping chamber 42 with fuel line 22 leading from fuel tank 24.
An inlet valve structure 54 is inserted in a short portion of fuel inlet passage 52 leading into chamber 42 and in a similar manner an outlet valve structure 56 is fitted within a short outlet passage through the bottom of cupshaped member 38 connecting chamber 42 with an outlet chamber 58.
Valve structures 54 and 56 are identical and each comprises a small triangular-shaped disk made of a synthetic fuel resistant material, such as an acetal resin. Disk 60 is seated on an annular rib 62 and retained in position by a C-shaped metal snap ring 64.
Valve structures 54 and 56 are easily mounted within the pump structure by first inserting each triangularshaped disk 60 and then snapping the associated C-ring 64 in position adjacent disk 60. The tendency of C-ring 64 to expand outwardly urges ring 64 to engage with the adjacent Wall surface thereby to hold the ring in position. Cup-shaped members 36 and 38 are coaxially mounted with matching cylindrical portions fitted together. This permits one member to be rotated relative to the other member about the common longitudinal axis of pump 12 to provide any desired angular relationship between inlet nipple 20 and air nipple 16 thereby allowing adaptation of the pump to any carburetor or any engine installation.
It is to be understood that the body portions forming pump 12 may be formed with the upper cup-shaped body portion receiving a lower cup-shaped body portion in telescoping interfitting relation such as disclosed in patent application Serial Number 220,638 which matured into Patent No. 3,179,055. Further, while the fuel pump has been illustrated as utilized with a four-cycle internal combustion engine, it is to be understood that the present invention may be utilized with a two-cycle internal combustion engine and may be attached directly to the crankcase. When utilized in two-cycle operation, the spring for driving the diaphragm (spring 46 of FIGURES 2 and 3) is normally not employed as air pressure pulsations created in the crankcase by movement of the piston backward and forward provides suflicient positive pressure for driving the pump.
Referring to FIGURE 5, upper cup-shaped portion 36 has an annular extension 66 forming an inner rim. Extension 66 has an annular head or ball 68. Lower cupshaped portion 38 has an annular rim 70 with an annular lip 72 formed on its inner circumference. Beneath lip 72 is a lower annular channel or groove 74 formed in the inner wall of rim 70 and defining an inclined seat surface or shoulder 76. Body members 36 and 38 are designed so that the lower cylindrical end of body member 36 will coaxially telescope into the opened rim 70 of cup-shaped member 38 and bead 68 Will snap under annular lip 72 and be held in position by contact with the inclined seat surface 90. The interfitting of body portions 36 and 38 requires a resilience when the portions are snapped together. One material which furnishes the necessary resilience is plastic, such as, for example, an acetal resin. Annular lip 72 and bead 68 are designed such that the rim of member 38 must expand by a flowing of the plastic material to permit bead 68 to enter and snap into groove 74 against seat surface 90. Bead 68 is of a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of lip 72 so that there is a tight fit between the two because of the mismatch. It is to be understood that other types of plastics or resilient material may be employed for forming body members 36 and 38.
Constituting an important feature of this invention, cup-shaped portions 36 and 38 are formed to grip tightly marginal portion 41 of diaphragm 40 and to minimize stretching of the diaphragm upon its movement between pumping and suction strokes, particularly at the end of the pumping stroke. Lower annular rim 70 has a lower inclined seat surface or shoulder 76 forming a relatively smooth and even inclined surface at the bottom of annular rim 70. Extension 66 has a lower inclined surface 78 which extends in a direction generally parallel to shoulder 76. Surfaces 76 and 78 are flared or inclined at an angle of around 30 with respect to the horizontal axis of pump 12. Lower cup-shaped portion 38 has a ledge 80 forming the bottom of pumping chamber 42 normal to the longitudinal axis of pump 12 as shown in FIGURES 3 and 4. Again referring to FIGURES 3 and 4, depression below ledge 80 is formed by respective inlet and outlet portions 81 and 83 of pumping chamber 72. Connecting surface 78 with ledge 80 is an inclined seat surface 82 which forms a continuation of surface 76, to provide a frusto-conical inner surface. At the end of a discharge or pumping stroke, diaphragm 40 is generally flattened out against ledge 80 and merging surface 82 as shown in FIGURES 3 and 4 which minimizes stressing of the diaphragm. Surfaces 76 and 78 by being flared with respect to the horizontal axis of pump 12 result in the formation of a looped diaphragm on the suction stroke which flexes sufficiently to follow the adjacent surfaces defining pumping chamber 42 and air chamber 44 without any substantial stretching of the diaphragm. This does not tend undesirably to stress or distort the diaphragm. Thus, there is no bending of diaphraghm 40 adjacent the corner formed by surface 76 and the adjacent inner wall of lower cupshaped portion 38 at the end of a discharge stroke. On the suction stroke, the diaphragm flexes entirely in one direction to form a loop only in one direction and fits closely adjacent the adjacent inner surface of body portion 36. The lower inner edge of extension 66 is beveled at 86 so that diaphragm 40 has a smooth surface to fit against its intake or suction stroke.
In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved of the advantageous results obtained.
As various changes could be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
What is claimed is:
1. A pulse pump for a fuel system comprising a pair of interfiting molded plastic body members, one of said body members being cup-shaped and having an outer annular rim and an annular seat adjacent said rim, the other of said body members having an annular extension received within the annular rim of the cup-shaped member, said annular seat and said annular extension having complementary oppositely facing generally smooth and parallel surfaces, a generally circular diaphragm positioned across and having its marginal portion etxending between the oppositely facing surfaces of said annular seat and said annular extension, a fuel chamber formed on one side of the diaphragm and an air chamber formed on the opposite side of the diaphragm, each of said generally parallel surfaces sloping inwardly toward the fuel chamber from the outer periphery of the diaphragm to form an inclined seat for the marginal portion of said diaphragm, and an interfitting annular bead and groove arrangement on said annular extension and annular rim whereby said body members may be snapped together to effect the interfitting of the bead and groove arrangement and gripping of the diaphragm between the sloping surfaces of the body members, said bead and groove arrangement permitting relative rotation movement between the body members while holding the body members together in pressed relation against the diaphragm.
2. A pulse pump as set forth in claim 1 wherein a nipple is positioned on said one cup-shaped body member and an inlet and outlet are positioned on said other body member.
3. A pulse pump as set forth in claim 1 wherein said bead and groove arrangement comprises an annular bead on the outer circumference of the annular extension and a groove on the inner circumference of the annular rim adapted to receive said bead in interfitting relation.
4. A pulse pump for a fuel system, said pump comprising a pair of interfitting cup-shaped body members, one of the body members having an annular rim and an annular shoulder adjacent the rim forming a seat, the other of said body members having an annular extension telescoping within the first mentioned cup-shaped member and adapted to be disposed adjacent said annular shoulder, said annular shoulder and said annular extension having complementary oppositely facing generally smooth and even surfaces, a generally circular diaphragm sealed along a marginal portion between said oppositely facing complementary surfaces to form an air chamber with one body member and a fuel chamber with the other body member, each of said generally parallel surfaces sloping inwardly toward the fuel chamber from the outer periphcry of the diaphragm to form an inclined seat for the marginal portion of said diaphragm, said fuel chamber being defined by an inner peripheral surface of said other body member forming a smooth continuation of the contiguous inclined diaphragm seat and a transverse surface merging with said inner peripheral surface extending in a direction transversely of the common axis of said body members whereby the diaphragm fits against said peripheral and transverse surfaces at the end of a pumping stroke, an annular bead on the outer surface of the annular extension, and a recess on the inner surface of the annular rim receiving the bead and holding the body members together in pressed relation against the diaphragm, the body member forming the air chamber having a first nipple for connection to a source of air pulsations and extending outwardly therefrom away from the common axis of the body members, the body member forming the fuel chamber having inlet and outlet passages and a second nipple extending outwardly away from said common axis of the body members.
5. A pulse pump as set forth in claim 4 wherein said generally parallel surfaces and said inner peripheral surface slope inwardly at an angle of around 30 with respect to the transverse axis of the pump to form an inner frustoconical surface.
6. A pulse pump for a fuel system as set forth in claim 4- wherein said second nipple includes a portion of the fuel inlet passage and said body members are rotatable relative to each other about said common axis while the body members are held together by said annular bead and re cess, the common axis of the body members being subtantially normal to the longitudinal axis of the nipples thereby to permit the nipples to be easily connected to fuel and air sources.

To Love Ru
whole series review by
Japanese Teeth
More entertaining than it should be (manga)
Rito has crush on Haruna,
Can Not Spit It Out
, Lala (alien) lands in boy's bathtub, boy acquired
Unwanted Harem
Fan Service
Fan Service
Fan Service
, and more
Fan Service
The bad:
They Wasted A Perfectly Good Plot
. It
have been about Rito's response to suddenly becoming the heir to the entire universe, and the dealing with Lala's other suitors, but that gets shoved to the side early on to focus on the
Unwanted Harem
There's so much
Fan Service
that it can choke the plot, although it
depends on your tolerance for fanservice
There's very little depth or originality.
The good:
To Love Ru
obviously not supposed to be deep, and doesn't pretend to be. Despite the lack of innovation, it's still entertaining; the characters, are quirky enough, and interact well. The entire thing is so absurd at points that it's good for a laugh.
Most of the absurdity seems to come from the aliens (Ren/Run does a
Gender Bender
when s/he
), and their technology (Lala's inventions, all the stuff that Run orders, etc.) The ridiculousness of everything that happens makes up for the lack of originality in the plot. I can't think of any other series where a
beach chapter
includes a sentient watermelon with
Naughty Tentacles
If you are so inclined, the
Fan Service
can indeed be a good thing.
Yami and Mikan. Two of the more entertaining characters in the series.
The art isn't particularly spectacular, but but it's certainly good, and Rito often has really funny facial expressions.
The serious character moments, while sparse, are genuinely sweet and "awwww" worthy; despite the cookie-cutter plot, the characters still have enough depth to make you care.
Overall: This is the epitome of the
Guilty Pleasure
. It's obviously meant solely to be entertaining, not to provoke deep thoughts or carry some sort of message. As far as that goes, it's more or less successful. Even though it doesn't have a lot of substance, it's still good for a laugh and the occasional touching moment.
Good review. I did reject it after watching the anime, but I might take a look now. Im curious, though, is Rito a little less of an ass in the manga then the anime?
comment #858
Lemur 20th Aug 09
I haven't seen the anime, so I wouldn't know. As far as the manga goes, he's really not a jerk at all, although all of his
Accidental Pervert
moments cause some of the girls to think he is.
EDIT: I should also note that the manga ends with
Ok, it
doesn't really end
, although there are hints that Rito will go with a
Tenchi Solution
which I'm sure is going to be an issue for some people. Personally, I think it's kind of fitting, as
choosing a single girl to end up with Rito
would undoubtedly piss off a good chunk of the fanbase, and it fits the feel of the series as
it leaves up to the reader who Rito ends up choosing
. My only complaint is that it was far too abrupt, and didn't have a lot of build up. But then again, as I said above, you don't really read
To Love Ru
for the plot.
comment #887
JapaneseTeeth 24th Aug 09 (edited by: JapaneseTeeth)
This series is hardly groundbreaking, but it's worth reading. It's got plenty of humor, a dash of drama, exciting action sequences (the artist also did
Black Cat
so this is no surprise), actual
Character Development
(nearly every character gets this!), and
Fan Service
in spades. That last one seemed excessive to me, but I'm a prude anyway.
The ending is a bit abrupt and
doesn't really resolve anything
, but at least Rito manages to
admit to himself that he does indeed love Lala
. Most
Unwanted Harem
male leads don't reach this point until the end of the series anyway. And given the completely understandable and justified
Creator Breakdown
of the artist, it's probably for the best that the series ended before the art and writing suffered.

Gerazzi 24th Sep 11
I find it amusing that people complain about harem romantic comedies. You know what to expect: the hero, or heroine, is ridiculously average; usually, though not invariably, he / she will be a
Chaste Hero
with shades of
Covert Pervert
; there will be loads of gratuitous
; there will either be
No Romantic Resolution
, or the hero doesn't make a choice until the very end of the series; usually they follow a
Slice of Life
format; and so on. They are not meant to be taken at all seriously. I will admit, however, that
No Romantic Resolution
annoys the hell out of me. Having said all that, I enjoyed this series. It was funny, and each of the girls receives enough character development to make one care about them. My favourite, of course, is Lala.

GUELPH — One of the goals for Matt Allen, named late last month to a second term on Softball Ontario's coaching committee, is to keep athletes playing the sport.
"Athletes are burning out at a young age so they're quitting softball specifically after their midget (seasons) or after they've competed at the intercollegiate level," the Guelph resident said. "That's the goal that we're really striving towards right now."
Allen has first-hand knowledge of that experience as he put an early end to his playing days that started in Kingston.
"Right now I'm done with my playing career at the young age of 24," he said. "I just didn't have that fire or desire to be on the diamond that I did as a kid. Luckily for me, I found my niche in the coaching stream of things, but I just kind of lost my edge that I had growing up."
However, Allen did stay involved with the sport and he serves as the head coach of the varsity women's team at Laurier and is also the president of the Ontario Intercollegiate Women's Fastpitch Association. He knows that many of the players in that league will not play again once they've finished their schooling.
"At least 90 per cent, if not more, retire after they've completed their undergraduate time playing softball. That's 21, 22 and they've stopped playing softball," he said.
"One of the reasons they're just tired. They've grown up since they were 8 or 9 years old playing softball, hockey or whatever sport it may be, every night of the week and every weekend and they've burnt out either mentally and emotionally or physically. By the time they're at that 21 or 22 age, they just don't want to play any more."
And that's something the coaching committee feels the coaches should work toward avoiding and part of developing that ability is keeping up to date with the latest research on the subject.
Softball players in this area have plenty of choices of places where they can play.
"The general public's assumption is that softball as a sport is dying," Allen said. "Up here it's great and it's thriving – numbers are growing at the grassroots level and that's something we want to maintain. There are definitely a lot of avenues that I could be playing in right now."
Men who want to remain in the game might have to do a minimal amount of travelling, but there are places to play.
"When you look at the demographics between the men's game and the women's game, it's a lot different as a whole," Allen said. "The men's game seems to be a lot more rural, small-town softball – Puslinch and Ponsonby and those smaller areas have teams. In the girls' side, it's the major centres like Guelph and Kitchener and Brampton."
While the coaching committee is involved in the National Coaching Certification Program for Softball in Ontario at the community sport and competitive stream, Allen's big thing will be as the chair of an international coaching symposium with Softball Canada that is to be held in Ontario in 2014.
He's hoping that it will be a three-day workshop for coaches from grassroots right up to the Olympic national team level.
"That will be a difficult task given how many coaches we want to aim toward," he said.
And he hopes that coaches will leave that symposium with the goal of keeping all players energized and interested in continuing in the sport, not just the elite players like Kaligh Rafter of Guelph.
"The goal of softball and of long-term player development is not to create the Kaleigh Rafters of the world, but to create athletes that who, if they want to get to that level, they get to that level but for them softball is a life-long sport and you can be playing up until your 60, playing a modified version of slo-pitch or whatever," he said. "That's really what the goal is: it's not to create all of these Olympic national team level athletes. As a byproduct of what we're doing, we will get those and we'll see those down the road, but that's not our total aim. Our aim is really to produce athletes that compete into their 30s and 40s."

ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 25, 1952 AIRPORT WIND INDICATING AN D WARNING SYSTEM Richard Edmund Gray, New York, N..Y., assignor to International Standard Electric Corporation, New York, N. Y., a corporation of Delaware- Application December 31, 1949, Serial No. 136,356
'7 Claims- This invention relates to airport wind-indicating and warning systems and more particularly to systems for providing warning or indications of dangerous cross wind conditions on the landing runway.
In landing aircraft at airports it. is necessary to consider wind conditions so that the safest of the available runways for landing may be utilised I by the craft. In general there is usually one runway at any airport which is longer than the others and is the most desirable for use particularly for larger aircraft. However, when. the wind is from such a direction and of such strength that a dangerous cross wind component exists at this runway one of the others must be used. or if all of them are dangerous none can be used.
Systems have been proposed utilising wind direction indications for turning on signal or landing lights automatically in accordance with the direction of the wind. Such systems have the disadvantage that the lights wil1 be shifted to illuminate difierent runways if the directio of the wind is diiferent regardless of its velocity. Thus if a cross wind directly at right angles to a runway is present the switching is accomplished even though this wind might not be over -12 miles per hour and landing perfectly safe.
The fact that the velocity of the wind also is important in providing lighting or Warning systems has also been recognised. One system has been proposed in which a wind direction indicator is used to set up a circuit which would tend to light up a different runway if the wind direction is adverse. This circuit however is not completed unless the wind velocity is suii'iciently high to operate a switch to complete the change over. Such a system is an improvement over the direct wind operated switching but fails to include any features which would serve to indicate a dangerous condition at all of the runways. Furthermore, the switching would be accomplished at some arbitrary wind velocity providing the wind direction was not favorable without taking into consideration the actual wind component at right angles to the runway which is the only one actually to be considered.
It is an object of this invention to provide a system for determining dangerous wind conditions at an airport which will provide an indication or alarm in the event the wind velocity component at right angles to the runway exceeds a predetermined value.
According to this invention a system is provided to generate electrical energy substantially proportional to the wind velocity and to use a wind direction determining device to adjust an element of a responsive means to which the generated voltage is applied in accordance with the wind direction so that a component of the energy proportional to the component of wind velocity at right angles to the runway will be provided. This energy may be measured to indicate the magnitude of the adverse wind component or may be applied to operate an alarm device to indicate that the runway is not safe for use.
According to a feature of my invention I provide an electric p wer generator the energy of which is applied across a potentiometer wound to produce a change in the energy as the slider is moved over it proportional to a sine component of an angle between the slider and the zero point of'the potentiometer. The potentiometer sliders are controlled in accordance with the direction of the wind so that the voltage drop across the potentiometer portion tapped by the slider will be a measurement of the component of wind velocity crossways of the runway. By measuring this voltage or the current developed thereby on a properly calibrated meter the strength of the wind component may be directly read. The voltage developed across the potentiometer may alternatively be fed to a relay which will serve to operate an alarm or warning light indicating dangerous wind conditions. The relays may be adjusted so that they will not operate until the wind component is sufficiently high to provide dangerous landing conditions.
The above-mentioned and other features and objects of this invention and the manner of attaining them will become more apparent and the invention itself will be best understood by reference to the following description. of an embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of a. system incorporating the features of this invention;
Fig. 2 is a vector diagram used in explaining the operation of the system of Fig. l; and
Fig. 3 is a circuit diagram of an alternative arrangement incorporating features of this invention.
Turning now to Fig. 1, a weather vane or other wind direction indicating device is shown at I and a windmill is shown at 2 which serves to operate at a speed substantially proportional to the wind velocity. A more accurate measurement of Wind velocity may be obtained by the usual anemometer cup arrangement but since in this case it is desired to drive a generator of some power the winch mill structure is preferred. For the purposes herein used precise wind velocity indication is not necessary. Windmill 2 operates a direct current generator 3 which will, therefore, produce an output voltage substantially proportional to the wind velocity. This may be measured on a meter 4 for example to give a direct indication of this velocity. Output energy from generator 3 is applied over switch arms 5 and 6 and contacts I? and 8 to a potentiometer resistor 9 grounded at it midpoint as shown at Ill. A-potentiometer slider is shown at H mechanically coupled 'with wind direction indicator 1 so that the slider will be displaced along potentiometer 9 an amount determined by the wind direction. The potentiometer resistor 9 is proportioned so that the voltage drop there across between ground I!) and potentiometer slider II is proportional to a sine function. The resistor 9 is so arranged with respect to the landing runway that this sine function is the sine of the angle made between the wind direction and the direction of the run-Way. The slider ll may be coupled through a switch arm [2 and contact is through a resistor 13a. to a micro relay having a winding 54. A meter l5 calibrated in wind velocity may be bridged across winding [5 to provide a measurement proportional to the voltage drop across resistor El. Thus, the meter IE will provide a reading of wind-velocity at right angles to the runway. Relay I4 is adjusted to control the closing of a pair of relay contacts I5 by operation of current from pctentiometer 9 through winding It. Contacts It may be adjusted by adjusting spring ll so that the closure of these contacts will be made for a predetermined value of current through winding l4. may be effected for different cross wind velocities. Contacts l6 when closed energise a power relay [8 from battery 19 through contacts IE to ground closing contacts 20 to operate alarm device 2 l. It will be readily seen that with this arrangement a positive warning will be provided whenever the cross wind velocity reaches the predetermined dangerous value. At the same time a reading of the cross wind component will at all times be available. This feature is desirable since a cross wind velocity of -30 miles per hour may be safe for landing of certain types of craft while the same Velocity may be dangerous for an attempted landing of other types of craft. Moreover, by having available this cross wind component reading, the information may be relayed to the pilot so that he will know how to take care of drift in making his landing.
While the system as so far described is sufilcient to take care of conditions at a single runway it is generally provided that when conditions become dangerous on any given runway the man in the control tower may switch on the lights for a second runway. Under these circumstances it is desirable that the wind velocity indications be available also for this second runway. Accordingly when the runway light switch 22 is operated to turn on lights at a difierent runway, switch arms 5 and 6 and switch arm I2 may be simultaneously operated onto switch contacts 23 and 24, respectively, placing the output of direct current generator 3 across a second potentiometer 26 aligned with this second runway and coupling indicator l5 and alarm 2| to a second potentiometer slide arm 21 on potentiometer 25. Thus the wind velocity and wind direction indicators will provide a similar warning for this second runway.
In Fig. 2 is illustrated by way of example a vec- This is made adjustable so that the closure tor diagram showing how the wind component is related to various runways. Thus lines 28 and 29 represent the direction line of runways I and 2, the wind vector is shown at 30. By calculating the sine of the angle made between vector 30 and line 28 the cross wind component 3| with respect to runway No. 1 is derived. Similarly by calculating the sine of the angle between vector 3!! and line 29 cross wind component to runway No. 2 is calculated as represented by vector 22. In a similar manner the components with respect to all of the runways may be derived.
In Fig. 3 is shown a more elaborate control arrangement wherein the wind velocity components maybe simultaneously provided for each of a plurality of runways. In this figure the wind direction indicator 1 and windmill 2 may be the same as in the previous figure. Also electrical generator 3 and wind velocity meter 4 are substantially the same. A wind direction indicator is shown at 33. The output voltage from generator 3 is applied in parallel across each of the sine potentiometers 35-39 inclusive. Potentiometers 34 and 35 are arranged to show the cross wind components with respect to the first runway 40, potentiometers 36 and 31 with respect to a second runway 41 and potentiometers 38 and 39 with respect to a third runway 32. The respective sliders for each of potentiometer resistors 34-39 indicated at 43-48 are controlled from wind direction indicator I through the shaft 49, selsyn generator 56, selsyn motor 5| and common drive shaft 52. Thus voltages may be provided simultaneously proportional to the cross wind component for each of said runways. The output voltages from the potentiometers may be brought out through all individual contacts 53-58 inclusive of a'common switch arm 59. Contact 59 may be coupled through ammeter 60 which serves to indicate the cross wind component to relay M which in turn is coupled through switch contacts [6, power relay [8 to contacts 20 to an alarm device 2|. Switch arm 59 may be selectively p0- sitioned to check any one of the runways by moving it over contacts 53 to 58 inclusive.
At the same time a simultaneous indication may be provided to show dangerous conditions at any one of the runways t! and 42. This may be accomplished by coupling the actual potentiometer outputs over a group of relays 6! similar in construction for example to those indicated at i l-i8, to individual warning lamps 82-61 inclusive. These lamps as well as a replica of the runways may be provided on an indicating board so that red lights may be shown at each of the points where dangerous wind conditions obtain. The vector diagram shown immediately adjacent these indicators shows at 6? the direction and strength of the wind and, at 58, 69 and 'H] the cross wind components for runways 4i 4! and 42, respectively.
It will be readily understood'that while a particular embodiment of the invention has been described many changes may be made therein without departing from the scope of my invention. For example, while direct current generators have been shown it is clear that alternating current generators controlled in voltage in accordance with the wind velocity could be used. Furthermore, other types of voltage producing means may be provided. Moreover, while high resistance types of potentiometers have been shown for the purpose of deriving a cross wind component, any type of circuit capable of producing this efiect may be used. Furthermore, electronic relays may be used instead of the electro magnetic relays illustrated.
While I have described above the principles of my invention in connection with specific apparatus, it is to be clearly understood that this description is made only by way of example and not as a limitation to the scope of my invention.
What I claim is:
1. A system for determinin dangerous wind conditions for landing aircraft on a plurality of differently disposed runways, comprising generator means for generating electrical energy substantially proportional to the wind velocity, wind direction determining means, responsive means for deriving from said energy under control of said Wind direction determining means component energy individual to each runway and proportional to the component of wind velocity at right angles to each runway, a utilization device coupled to said responsive means, and means for coupling each of said means for deriving to said generator.

Finally, some sense and courage from a GOP candidate.
Back in 1998, Fred Tuttle, the GOP candidate for the US Senate, endorsed HIS OPPONENT, incumbent Patrick Leahy; and the GOP did not retaliate against Mr. Tuttle. However, when a conservative endorses another conservative against a moderate, even if the conservative being endorsed is a member of the Republican Party, the GOP establishment retaliates. I had hope this would all end when Ronald Reagan won two landslide elections. However, RINO scum such as the Bushes and Romneys use their bankster connections to control the party.
So, it is certainly refreshing to see a candidate with the courage to endorse Gary Johnson. Of course, the next great step will be to make the Bushes and Romneys do "perp walks" before the public takes it into its own hands to deal with these RINO scum.
