Title: Wind generator of the type with automatic power regulation
Inventor: TRAVERE PIERRE
IPC: F03D7/02
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a wind generator of the type with automatic power regulation, comprising at least one propeller having at least two blades (21), whereby the efficiency of one propeller varies inversely to a variation in the wind energy, from a lower wind speed limit. The torque/speed characteristics of each propeller are determined such that the working point begins to move towards the areas of low aerodynamic efficiency when the wind speed approaches the value at which the generator reaches the maximum, safety-compliant power. The inventive wind generator is characterised in that it also comprises: at least one centrifugal counter weight system (24) which is arranged such as to reduce the pitch of at least one part of the blades when the speed of rotation is increasing; and at least one system comprising an end stop (30) and return (15) or compression (25) means which mechanically define the initial working pitch and the optimum working pitch up to the nominal speed. According to the invention, one part of the blades is pivot mounted to a shaft (23), thereby driving the end of at least one return spring (15) or compression spring (25) by means of at least one arm or lever (22) or similar device, said end maintaining the blade in contact with at least one fixed end stop element (30) defining the initial pitch.

Title: Method and composition for stable and controlled delivery of (-)-hydroxycitric acid
Inventor: DUNN JAMES M
IPC: A61K31/191
Filed: 2004-05-28
Abstract: The present invention provides stable encapsulated (-)-hydroxycitric acid ("HCA")~containing compositions and methods of making the same. A method is provided by which the hygroscopic salts of HCA in their relatively pure and active forms, including especially the potassium salt, but also including the sodium salt, are rendered non-hygroscopic and stable (that is, not prone to lactonization, not readily subject to attachment to ligands which inhibit absorption or lead to excretion, and so forth) such that these HCA salts might be included in dry delivery formats, liquid delivery and in controlled-release vehicles. The nonhygroscopic salts of HCA and its derivatives likewise may be protected against acid degradation, lactonization and undesirable ligand binding when exposed to acidic environments or other challenging conditions.  The method taught herein can be employed to reduce the polar/ionic qualities of HCA salts and derivatives when presented to the intestinal lumen to provide advantages in absorption.

Filed: 2006-01-16
Abstract: The present invention extends to generic collection and delivery of telemetry data. A telemetry component receives telemetry data, through a common telemetry interface that is accessible to a plurality of applications, from an application. The received telemetry data is aggregated with any existing telemetry in a telemetry database. In response to a detected event, the telemetry component sends the telemetry data, via a corresponding telemetry stream, to a telemetry service. The telemetry service receives the telemetry message, via the corresponding telemetry stream, from the telemetry component. The telemetry service extracts telemetry data and identifies one or more pluggable telemetry handlers that have registered for the telemetry data. The telemetry service dispatches the extracted telemetry data to the one or more identified pluggable telemetry handlers. The telemetry service acknowledges receipt of the telemetry data to the telemetry component.
