  • Patent number: 11066452
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to antibody binding nanofibrils obtainable by co-fibrillation of carrier proteins and carrier-Z fusion proteins at a molar ratio selected within an interval of from 1:0.20 to 1:0.90. The antibody binding nanofibrils have extremely high antibody binding capacity and can thereby be used in various applications, such as antibody purification, and detection of biomarkers in point of care or laboratory diagnosis applications. (FIG. 6).

  • Patent number: 10883474
    Abstract: A method for operating a plurality of wind turbines, in which a first current estimated wind value is derived from operating parameters of a first wind turbine, and in which a second current estimated wind value is derived from operating parameters of a second wind turbine. A prediction model is applied to derive, from the first current estimated wind value and the second current estimated wind value, a wind prediction, applicable to a future time point, for a third wind turbine. The wind prediction is processed in a controller, in order to generate a control signal for the third wind turbine that is effective before the future time point. The invention additionally relates to an associated control system. The loading for particular wind turbines can be reduced in that the wind conditions are predicted for a future time point.

  • Patent number: 10815967
    Abstract: A method for operating a first wind turbine and a second wind turbine, the second wind turbine being located in the wake of the first wind turbine. A prediction model is fed with a current wind value of the first wind turbine, in order to predict a future time point at which the area swept by the rotor of the second wind turbine becomes partially overlapped by the wake of the first wind turbine. The second wind turbine reacts to the prediction in that a control signal is generated in order to alter the pitch angle of a rotor blade of the second wind turbine relative to the pitch angle of another rotor blade of the second wind turbine. The invention additionally relates to a control system suitable for executing the method. Implementation of the disclosed method by a control system can reduce the loading of the second wind turbine.

  • Patent number: 7748279
    Abstract: A method of allocating hydraulic fluid between actuators in a machine accepts a first command to provide a first requested fluid flow to a first actuator, wherein the first actuator is a bounded actuator such as a steering actuator, and a second command to provide a second requested fluid flow to a second actuator. The system adjusts the first and second commands to produce adjusted first and second commands corresponding to adjusted first and second fluid flows, such that the sum of the adjusted first and second fluid flows is less than or equal to a maximum available flow and the adjusted first fluid flow meets or exceeds the lesser of the first requested fluid flow and a threshold curve that is a function of engine speed or other variable.
