Abstract: The present invention includes an apparatus and method for continuous and point level liquid level detection in a closed container or pipe having an inaccessible interior volume such that it is difficult to retrofit these tanks with a level gauge that 5 operates within the storage volume. The invention is based an a frequency domain analysis of the combined storage tank/fluid or pipe/fluid response to localized ultrasonic energy, and can be implemented using several excitation and signal analysis procedures, taking advantage of the transmission properties of the vessel wall in the vicinity of one of its longitudinal thickness resonances. Thus, significantly lower peak excitation voltages are required than with pulse-echo ultrasonic techniques.

Abstract: Data to be transmitted over a network comprise a first part (perhaps audio) which is always to be transmitted and alternative second parts (perhaps video coded at different compression rates) of which one is to be chosen for transmission, depending on the current network capacity. In order to accommodate systems where (owing perhaps to the use of a congestion control mechanism such as TCP) the capacity available is initially undetermined, one firstly begins to transmit just the first part. When the network capacity becomes known (typically by monitoring the performance of the network in transmitting the first part), one of the alternative second parts is chosen and transmission of its commences. If desired this may initially be preferentially to, or to the exclusion of, further transmission of the first part.

Title: Method for operating a wind power station
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D7/02
Filed: 2004-03-31
Granted: 2009-03-24
Abstract: When planning and setting up wind power installations the visual detractions to be expected on the part of the wind power installation on the environment play an increasingly important part in approval and acceptance. If for example a wind power installation is placed in the proximity of a residence, it is possible, when the sun is in unfavourable positions, that the wind power installation or the rotor thereof is between the sun and the residence. If the sunshine is not affected by cloud, the rotating rotor constantly throws a (strobing) shadow on to the property.  The shadow casting caused by the wind power installation on the adjoining properties is often perceived by the residents as being very troublesome.  Even if the wind power installation satisfies the legal approval requirements there is however not always any guarantee that the undesired shadow casting effect is prevented.   The object of the present invention is to provide a wind power installation by means of which shadow casting regulation is improved.   That is achieved by a method of operating a wind power installation wherein a first light intensity is detected in a region of direct light irradiation and a second light intensity is detected in a shadowed region, and wherein the wind power installation is shut down if the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A continuously variable ratio device (~variator~) is disclosed in which a pair of rotary races (252, 254) is mounted for rotation about a common variator axis (218). Drive is transferred from one race to the other through at least one roller (200) running upon them. The drive ratio is variable by virtue of precession of the roller about a precession axis (228). Precession results in a change in angle between the roller axis and the variator axis and a corresponding change in drive ratio. In accordance with the invention, the roller (200) is coupled to a carrier (214) in a manner which permits it to precess relative to the carrier (214). The carrier itself is rotatable about a carrier axis (226) which is non-parallel to the precession axis. Rotation of the carrier (214) about the carrier axis serves to change the orientation of the precession axis (228) and is accompanied by a change in variator drive ratio.
