Title: Wind turbine with integrated rotor bearing
Inventor: FLAMANG PETER
IPC: F03D11/02
Filed: 2003-11-18
Abstract: A wind turbine features a gear unit comprising a planetary gear stage and an integrated main rotor bearing. The main bearing 4 is adapted to provide location for a rotor hub 2 relative to the wind turbine nacelle 1, and further, to locate the planet carrier 3 relative to the low speed ring gear 13. An intermediate housing 11 is connected between the outer ring of the main bearing 4 and ring gear 13, resulting in the forces due to the bending moments between the hub 2 and nacelle 1 being transmitted via the main bearing 4, and not via the ring gear of the planetary gear stage. In a preferred embodiment, the main bearing is not in the same axial plane to the planet gears.

Title: Application of watermark data to video frames
Inventor: KEATING STEPHEN MARK
IPC: H04N21/83
Filed: 2006-10-23
Abstract: An encoding data processing apparatus generates a marked copy of a video material item by embedding a payload data word 1 into the video material item. The video material item includes a plurality of video frames. The encoding data processing apparatus comprises a code word generator 10, a shuffle processor 19 and an embedding data processor. The code word generator is operable to generate a water mark code word from the payload data word and to read data representing the water mark code word into a shuffle data store 18. The shuffle processor is operable to generate pseudo randomly at least one address within an address space of the shuffle data store for each of the video frames and to read data representing part or parts of the water mark code word out from the data store at locations identified by the pseudo randomly generated address. The data embedding processor is operable to receive the video material item and to embed the data representing the part or parts of the water mark code word read out from the shuffle data store for each frame into a corresponding frame of the-video material item. As such, by randomly embedding different parts of the code word into each frame of the video material item, a likelihood of an attacker being able to identify the code word within the video material item is substantially reduced. Security of the payload data word represented by the water mark code word is therefore improved.

Title: Multi-pitch screw, and method and device for manufacturing multi-pitch screw
Inventor: FUJI HIROSHI
IPC: B21H3/04
Filed: 2005-07-20
Abstract: [PROBLEM] To provide a method for manufacturing a multi-pitch screw with specified threads and pitches by rolling. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The route of a general (equal lead angle) spiral screw is formed of the equal pitch projections (610) and (620) of existing rotating dies (61) and (62), and the stepwise route of the screw formed of the stepwise projection (632) of the rotating die (63) with a non-equal lead angle is overlapped with the route of the general spiral screw to efficiently roll multi-pitch threads. Since only one non-equal lead angle rotating die (63) is used, the threads are not smoothened out by stepwise projections of the plurality of rotating dies with the non-equal lead angle.

Title: Cyclone shroud
Inventor: GOMICIAGA-PEREDA RICARDO
IPC: A47L9/12
Filed: 2007-07-05
Abstract: A cyclone shroud 200 has rectangular through holes 208 with a width to height ratio in the range of 1.5:1 to 1:1.5. The rectangular cross section of the through-holes 208 maximises the available through-hole 208 area in the shroud. This may result in a low pressure drop across the shroud 200 and reduces the amount of material required for manufacture. Further, this ratio allows the cross-sectional area of the through-holes 208 to be dimensioned to prevent larger particles of dirt and dust from passing through the through-holes 208 in the shroud 200, whilst still providing the required structural integrity.
