Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying a theme for a poetic composition. The method also includes building a datastore of text taxonomies that provide associative differences between two words in a plurality of words. The method also includes analyzing the associative differences to determine a distance from a nexus for each of the plurality of words, wherein the nexus is determined according to the theme, and wherein the distance from the nexus to one of the plurality of words describes a suitability of the one of the plurality of words for use in the poetic composition for the theme. The method also includes determining at least one associative word according to the distance from the nexus. The method also includes determining a rhyming word from the plurality of words according to the at least one associative word.

Abstract: An arrangement and a method of rotating a hub of a wind turbine are provided. A wind turbine includes a hub mounted to a nacelle, whereby the hub is rotatable around an axis of rotation in respect to the nacelle. A rotor blade is arranged at the hub that leads to a torque around the axis of rotation of the hub. A counter weight is attached to the hub, whereby the counter weight has a mass that leads to a counter-torque around the axis of rotation. The counter-torque interacts with the torque during the installation of a second rotor blade to the hub. The counter weight is mounted to the hub by a mechanical arrangement that is rotatable in respect to the hub around the axis of rotation of the hub. The mechanical arrangement and the counter weight are rotatable in respect to the hub into a certain predetermined position.

Abstract: A direct driven wind turbine includes an electrical generator with a rotor and a stator, a hub constructed to receive a rotor blade, and an actuator device. The hub is connected to the rotor of the electrical generator. The hub and the rotor of the electrical generator are rotatable mounted in respect to the stator of the generator. The actuator device is constructed and arranged to rotate the rotor of the electrical generator and the hub of the wind turbine in respect to the stator of the electrical generator, wherein the actuator device is at least one motor.

Abstract: Bulk synchronization reconciling maintains data volumes at the same version in redundant data storage libraries. Tokens of each library describe version-related characteristic(s) of an associated volume of data. At least one director establishes a reconcile set of tokens of the libraries describing dissimilar version-related characteristics of a same associated volume. A plurality of subsets of the reconcile set of tokens are established based on a first criteria, and allotted to directors to reconcile the data of volumes of the subsets, to split the reconciling between the directors. An example is to select subsets based on the last binary digit of the volume identifier, e.g. odd and even numbered subsets. Alternatively, the volume identifiers may be split into upper and lower halves. Further, the directors reconcile in a sequence based on a second criteria, e.g., one in numerical sequence, and another in reverse numerical sequence.

Abstract: A simplified user authentication to a computer resource utilizing a smart card. When a new user is issued a smart card, he or she is also issued a user name (ID) and password to be used during a first use to activate the smart card. The user then connects the smart card and enters the user ID and password. The user is authenticated using the user ID and password and identifying information from the smart card. The network administration server then requests a public key from the workstation. The workstation instructs the smart card to generates public and private key. The public key is transmitted to the server. A digital certificate is created the smart card is activated. Once the smart card is activated a simplified login procedure can be used wherein connecting the smart card to a workstation initiates a login process not requiring use of a PIN number or other user input.
