Title: Method and system for content delivery control using a parallel network
Inventor: MARKMAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2001-06-01
Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A method and system for controlling distribution of content through a communications network uses a second, parallel network for delivery of a transaction indicia to a requesting party. The use of the parallel network enables the transaction indicia to be forwarded to the party independently of the communications network, thereby reducing the probability of a party fraudulently obtaining delivery of the content. Additionally, information associated with the parallel network can be used to restrict distribution cf the content to parties within a predetermined domain, such as, for example, a geographical region. The content may be delivered to the party in an encrypted form, preferably using an encryption algorithm and key designed to enable decryption of the content on only the content delivery device from which the request for the content was originated.

Title: Method for monitoring wind power plants
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D17/00
Filed: 2000-07-07
Granted: 2003-10-21
Abstract: For effective use of wind power installations, it is advantageous for regulation and operational management of a wind power installation to be carried out in such a way as to ensure fully automatic operation of the installation. Any other mode of operation which requires manual intervention in the normal operating procedure is unacceptable for economic considerations. In order further to increase the economy of the installation, regulation should be effected in such a way that the degree of energy conversion achieved in each operating condition is as high as possible. A further important aspect in terms of regulation and operational management of a wind power installation is operational safety.     Technical faults and environmentally induced danger conditions must be recognised and the safety systems present triggered. In addition a regulating system can contribute to reducing the mechanical loading on the wind power installation.        For further improving maintenance, safety and economy of a wind power installation, it is desirable for further parameters of the wind power installation to be monitored. Therefore, the object of the invention is to improve monitoring of wind power installations.        A method of acoustically monitoring wind power installations, comprising the steps: recording a reference noise spectrum of a wind power installation and/or parts thereof at at least one given location of the installation, storing said reference spectrum in a storage means, recording the operating noise spectrum during operation at the given location or locations of the installation, comparing the recorded operating noise spectrum to the stored reference spectrum, and detecting deviations between the operating noise spectrum and the reference spectrum.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for electrowinning of titanium metal or titanium alloys from electrically conductive titanium mixed oxide compounds in the liquid state such as molten titania slag, molten ilmenite, molten leucoxene, molten perowskite, molten titanite, molten natural or synthetic rutile or molten titanium dioxide. The method involves providing the conductive titanium oxide compound at temperatures corresponding to the liqu id state, pouring the molten material into an electrochemical reactor to form a pool of electrically conductive liquid acting as cathode material, covering the cathode material with a layer of electrolyte, such as molten salts or a solid state ionic conductor, deoxidizing electrochemically the molten cathod e by direct current electrolysis. Preferably, the deoxidizing step is performe d at high temperature using either a consumable carbon anode or an inert dimensionally stable anode or a gas diffusion anode . During the electrochemical reduction, droplets of liquid titanium metal or titanium all oy are produced at the slag/electrolyte interface and sink by gravity settling to the bottom of the electrochemical reactor forming, after coalescence, a pool of liquid titanium metal or titanium alloy. Meanwhile carbon dioxide or oxyg en gas is evolved at the anode.The liquid metal is continuously siphoned or tapped under an inert atmosphere and cast into dense and coherent titanium metal or titanium alloy ingots.
