Abstract:
A linear motor compressor including a compressor housing and a cylinder housing having a plurality of opposing compression chambers. A piston freely reciprocates within the cylinder housing using a linear electric motor. A piston position feedback control system provides adaptive current output as a function of position feedback and/or velocity feedback from the piston and/or the electric motor, to directly power and control the electric motor, wherein the piston reciprocates without assistance from a mechanical spring or other equivalent centering force.

Abstract:
An augmented electromagnetic accelerator apparatus which imparts an initialelocity to a projectile by use of enhanced inductance gradients and allows for the use of cylindrical projectiles by the use of a round bore, using a parallel gun rail geometry The enhanced inductance gradients are achieved by the use of an extra turn around the gun rails and enclosing the rail and the said augmented turn in laminated iron. The augmented accelerator has crossovers at the two ends (breech and muzzle end) which have minimum influences over the electromagnetics in the bore of the accelerator.

Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to an electromagnetic seismic vibrator (EMSV) architecture that provide wide frequency range operation, ground force application with high fidelity, and low environmental impact. The EMSV architecture can include a base member that can support a force coil and mitigate electrical heating due, at least in part, to spurious currents. The EMSV architecture can include means for restricting movement of a reaction member included in the EMSV architecture relative to the base member. Such means can permit mitigation of damage of the EMSV architecture in scenarios in which control of the EMSV architecture may fail.
