Title: Eolienne pourvue d'un systeme de refroidissement du generateur
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D9/00

Granted: 2013-08-13
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une installation d'énergie éolienne comprenant un pylône, une nacelle installée de manière rotative sur le pylône, une génératrice disposée dans la nacelle et comportant un rotor et un stator, et au moins un ventilateur dans la région de la nacelle. Afin de réduire l'entrée d'humidité, de sable et d'autres substances étrangères dans la nacelle et aussi de réduire le bruit du ventilateur qui atteint l'extérieur, conformément à l'invention, un arrangement du ventilateur dans la nacelle est prévu où le ventilateur aspire l'air extérieur par une première prise d'air vers le bas, notamment entre le pylône et la nacelle. À cet égard, l'invention est fondée sur le constat que le flux d'air dans l'installation d'énergie éolienne et, en particulier, dans la région de la nacelle a une forte composante horizontale et, au mieux, une composante verticale moins prononcée. Autrement dit, le vent et, avec lui, les substances étrangères transportées circulent face au vent le long de la nacelle vers le côté sous le vent et dépassent ensuite l'installation d'énergie éolienne. Si, par conséquent, l'air est aspiré par une prise d'air vers le bas, alors au pire de très petites particules peuvent encore être aspirées et peuvent en fait être aéroportées vers le haut par le flux d'air, contre l'effet de la gravité. Ainsi, l'entrée par aspiration de particules relativement grosses de sable et de poussière et, également, l'entrée par aspiration des gouttes de pluie qui, tous savent, sont considérablement plus lourdes, sont réduites d'une manière importante, voire totalement absentes.

Abstract: A system and method facilitates purchase transactions over a computer network, including the purchase of electronically storable items. The embodiments herein encrypt "customer information" in an encryption stream and cause the encryption stream to be transferred from the customer to a merchant in the purchase transaction. A verification entity receives the encryption stream which is sent by the merchant for identity verification and payment authorization. Then, the verification entity verifies the identifiers contained in the encryption stream and transfers an identity verification and payment authorization from the verification entity to the merchant. The encryption stream or unique transaction identifier can be added, by the merchant, to a purchased electronic item to create a personalized electronic item.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for passive determination of target parameters by directionally selective reception of sound waves, emitted or transmitted from a target, from estimated bearing angles, determined from estimated positions of the target, and bearing angles measured at a measurement point. A bearing angle difference between measured and estimated bearing angles is iteratively minimized and, when the minimum is reached, the target parameters are used for an optimized solution. To estimate the reliability of this optimized solution, during each processing cycle a multiplicity of different target tracks are calculated from.  possible solutions for the target parameters. Associated bearing angles are assumed for each of these possible solutions, and the assumed bearing angles are used to calculate a quality measure along each of the assumed target tracks. A  reliability level is determined from the distribution of the quality measure.
