Inventor: GHASRIPOOR FARSHAD DR
IPC: F01D11/12
Filed: 2000-11-21
Abstract: The abradable (1) forms a pattern built up of strip-like elements (5) which lie in directions of ribs (15) on connection lines between corner points of a reference grid. The rib direction differs from direction of movement (v) of blade tips (2) at about 80 to 95 percent of an abraded surface (10). The movement direction of two thirds of abraded surface deviates from rib direction at about 30 to 45 percent. The abraded surface is formed by material ablation by moving machine blade tips over the profiled abradable in a predetermined direction. The profiling of the surface is formed by ribs which surround chamber like depressions (11). The strip-like elements of the abraded surface can be curved as well as discrete or partly connected strips. An Independent claim is also included for a flow machine e.g. gas turbine.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé d'échange de données numériques de vérification de clé publique. Un premier module de calcul (102) permet à un second module de calcul (104) d'obtenir la preuve probabiliste qu'un numéro donné n est le produit d'exactement deux nombres premiers p et q, inconnus de la seconde partie, dont l'écart entre longueurs binaires (l(p), l(q) ne dépasse pas d bits. Ce procédé apporte la preuve tangible d'un protocole cognitif permettant de justifier la méthode Monte-Carlo selon laquelle un nombre n est le produit de deux nombres premiers de valeur sensiblement égale. La preuve est apportée « à l'aveugle », c'est-à-dire que la structure est vérifiée sans connaissances des facteurs premiers de n. Le coût de la preuve équivaut à 12klog2 n multiplications d'entiers de taille n dans laquelle k est le nombre d'itérations dans la preuve et renvoie à une probabilité d'erreur bornée par max(1/2k, 24/n1/4).

Abstract: In the planning and erection of wind power plants, the manner in which the wind power plant is expected to detract from the beauty of the environment plays an increasingly important role for approval and acceptance. If, for example, a wind power plant is placed in the vicinity of a dwelling, it is possible that the wind power plant or its rotor is located between the sun and the dwelling when the sun is at unfavorable solar altitudes. If the sunshine is not blocked by clouds, the rotating rotor constantly casts a (harsh) shadow onto the property. The shadow which is cast by the wind power plant onto the adjacent area is often perceived by the residents as being very disturbing. Also, in the instance that the wind power plant fulfills the legal requirements with regard to approval, it is not always guaranteed that the undesirable cast shadow is prevented. The aim of the invention is to create a wind power plant by means of which the problem with regard to the cast shadow is overcome. To this end, the invention provides a method for operating a wind power plant which switches off when the sun is at a predetermined solar altitude, when the luminous intensity exceeds a predetermined value (switch-off intensity).

Abstract: A wire bending machine and a bending method capable of
providing a high-precision working independently of a level of
the rigidity of a material. With a wire (21) held by a bending
die (13), a clamp (11) and a presser (12), a shifting
instruction in proportion to a deviation between a target
position and a current position and a shifting instruction in
proportion to the time integration of the deviation between
the target position and the current position are given from a
control unit (16) to a servo motor (15) driving the bending
die (13), and the shifting instruction in proportion to the
time integration is stopped when a current position reaches
the target position, thereby the wire (21) can be bent up to a
target position with a desired radius by turning the bending
die (13) through a desired angle via the servo motor (15)
based on the shifting instructions.

Abstract: A method for setting the trigger power of transmitter diodes that transmit data via optical paths allows the transmission power to be adjusted and adapted to the communication distance. The trigger power is determined for the present communication distance on the basis of a test signal before data transmission begins. A circuit arrangement implementing the method includes a driver circuit with a switching device that switches a circuit junction point selectively to a supply voltage or to a constant reference voltage, a voltage-controlled resistor which delivers the driver current and is controlled from the circuit junction point, and a voltage-controlled measuring resistor which delivers a measured current with a fixed relationship to the driver current and is controlled from the circuit junction point. Since the set trigger power can be reduced, the power consumption for data transmission can be reduced considerably.
