Abstract: A "Push n' Lock" tree stand is disclosed. The tree stand has a compact construction with an improved center of gravity and elongated folding legs. The legs of the tree stand are each broadened in width at their fold-up pivot point and then tapered to a narrower width at their distal ends. This taper provides an improved center of gravity about the base, thus reducing the tendency of the tree to tip over. The legs are sufficiently elongated to provide good balance in their extended position. The tree stand provides a hollow, cylindrical base for supporting severed tree trunk. The bottom of the cylindrical base comprises three or four integrally spaced flange members that arc disposed in a triangular or cross pattern about the base to pivotally receive the folding legs.

Title: Device and method for controlling wind turbine
Inventor: BABA MITSUYA
IPC: F03D11/00
Filed: 2010-05-26
Abstract: In a conventional technique, a shutdown sequence indicating a sequential operation from a start of the feathering of a wind turbine to the stop is started in response to an alert signal caused by an external factor. In the present invention, when the alert is called off during the shutdown sequence, the shutdown sequence is stopped, and the recovery control by which the pitch angle of the wind turbine blade is controlled toward the fine state is performed. By such a control, the stop period of the wind turbine under the shutdown can be shortened, so that the decrease in the operating rate of the wind farm can be suppressed.
Patent CA-2733154-A1 (CA)
Title: Electrosurgical instrument
Inventor: TRUCKAI CSABA
IPC: A61B/
Filed: 2003-01-22
Abstract: An electrosurgical medical device and method (Fig. 8A) for creating thermal welds in engaged tissue. In one embodiment, at least one jaw of the instrument defines a tissue engagement plane carrying a conductive-resistive matrix of a conductively-doped non-conductive elastomer. The engagement surface portions thus can be described as a positive temperature coefficient material that has a unique selected decreased electrical conductance at each selected increased temperature thereof over a targeted treatment range. The conductive-resistance matrix can be engineered to bracket a targeted thermal treatment range, for example about 60°C to 80°C, at which tissue welding can be accomplished. In one mode of operation, the engagement plane will automatically modulate and spatially localize ohmic heating within the engaged tissue from Rf energy application-across-micron-scale portions of the engagement surface (155A). In another mode of operation, a conductive-resistive matrix can induce a "wave" of Rf energy density to sweep across the tissue to thereby weld tissue
