Abstract: Systems and methods of inspecting a wind turbine system are provided. In particular, a user device located proximate a wind turbine can obtain location data and component data associated with one or more components of the wind turbine. The component data can be associated with the location data. Maintenance data can then be determined based at least in part on the location data and the component data. The maintenance data can be associated with one or more repair procedures for the one or more components. The maintenance data can then be provided for display by the user device.

Abstract: A rotor turning system includes a fixture plate configured for attachment to a gearbox, a locking mechanism configured for attachment to the fixture plate, and a reaction fixture configured for attachment to the locking mechanism. The rotor turning system is configured to permit rotation of the rotor only when rotational torque is applied to the locking mechanism, and this rotation is in only one rotational direction.

Abstract: Wind farms and methods for operating wind farms are provided. A wind farm includes a plurality of wind turbine generators. A method includes determining an available reactive power value for each of the plurality of wind turbine generators. The method further includes distributing an individual reactive power command to each of the plurality of wind turbine generators. The individual reactive power command is individually tailored to each wind turbine generator of the plurality of wind turbine generators based on the available reactive power value for that wind turbine generator.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided having a sling or sock configured for contacting a wind turbine blade. A reinforcement member attached to the sling or sock. The reinforcement member configured to resist sling or sock collapse and maintain the sling or sock in an open configuration. A method is also provided for moving a wind turbine part, such as a rotor or blade. The method includes the step of attaching a sling or sock to the wind turbine part, where the sling includes a reinforcement member attached thereto.

Abstract: A one-piece housing for the enclosure and protection of an optical imager or other device and a method for locking a one-piece housing assembly in a folded configuration. The housing comprises three segments permanently joined by flexible hinges that allow the housing to quickly fold into a box to enclose an optical imager. To releasably maintain the housing in closed position, the assembly contains two locking tabs that snap-fit into depressions on a platform extending away from the main housing segment. One tab snap-fits directly into a depression on the top surface of the platform while the other tab snap-fits into a depression on the reverse surface of the platform. By locking into depressions on the top and reverse surfaces of the platform, the opposing tabs tightly grip the surfaces and releasably maintain the housing in the folded configuration.

Abstract: Synthetic enantiomeric esters are employed as energy substrates for parenteral or enteral nutritional formulations. The substrates are provided in substantially monoisomeric or anomeric forms readily utilized in patient metabolism.

Abstract: Compositions and methods intended to be administered enterally or parenterally for treating sepsis. The composition containing, in a biologically and nutritionally acceptable medium, at least free cysteine or cysteine in the form of a precursor, prodrug, protein or peptide hydrolysate, in a proportion of pharmacologically active cysteine greater than the proportion of cysteine present in a nutritional composition corresponding to the requirements of a healthy man, the proportion of cysteine being determined with respect to all the amino acids present in the composition.
