Abstract: A recording system and method for conducting seismic surveys including cordless battery-operated digital recorders, each employing an integral global positioning system receiver that is only periodically enabled for the purpose of establishing synchronized acquisition clock signals among all the recorders. The satellite receiver adjustment cycle is varied depending on past acquisition clock accuracy and temperature changes. A time stamp is recorded with the digitized seismic data in non-volatile memory. The memory is sized to allow extended periods of operation. Each recorder preferably includes a low-power system timer that may be used as a timer to remotely turn on and off the recorders according to a pre- programmed schedule to conserve power when the system is not in use. Electronic components are idled or de-energized when not needed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide multiple-layer (multi-layer) composite lenses comprising two or more materials and methods for making the same. A multi-layer composite lens of the present invention can use multiple surfaces (internal or external) to form optical elements that can contribute to a total desired add power. The multiple contributing optical elements can be aligned so as to be in optical communication to form multiple stable vision zones to enhance optical performance and the vision experience of the wearer. Distributing the total desired add power across multiple appropriately aligned optical elements that are in optical communication with one another can reduce the total distortion of the lens, minimize the number of optical discontinuities introduced, can reduce optical power jump as experienced by the wearer's eye when traversing any discontinuity, and can reduce the visibility of any introduced optical discontinuity as perceived by an observer looking at the wearer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack having at least two high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (HT-FECF), which comprise at least one means for determining the CO2 concentration of the cathode waste gas. A method for checking this fuel cell stack is thus possible, wherein at least the CO2 concentration of the cathode waste gas is determined. Optionally, the CO2 concentration of the oxidizing agent that is supplied can also be determined. The CO2 concentration is advantageously conducted in the region of individual cells or cell sections. This can be done, for example, by way of a displaceable lance in the cathode waste gas channel or a plurality of outlets (valves) in the cathode waste gas channel. If a threshold value defining the normal state of functional individual cells is exceeded, appropriate measures can be initiated, such as switching off the entire stack and optionally replacing cells or cell blocks. For more precise information, according to the invention the CO2 concentration of the cathode waste gas is determined not only overall, but also at the outlets of individual cells or cell sections within the manifold.

Abstract: The invention relates to the detection of bending deflection of a wind turbine blade with the aim of providing early detection of the risk of the blade striking in particular the tower of the wind turbine. For this purpose an arrangement for the wind turbine is proposed which comprises a radio transmitter and a linear antenna array assigned to the radio transmitter. The radio transmitter is mounted on the blade tip and emits a signal S e.g. continuously. The antenna array is mounted on the rotor of the wind turbine in a co-rotating manner and receives the signal S. On the basis of the transit times of the signal from the rotor to the individual antennas of the array, the position of the radio transmitter relative to the array can be determined. In the event of blade deflection, e.g. if a high wind load is present, the relative position changes, which can be detected by means of the arrangement according to the invention.
