Publication number: 20180283352Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for preventing a tower strike of a tower of a wind turbine by a rotor blade thereof. The method includes mounting a plurality of sensors circumferentially around the tower at a height generally aligning with a blade tip of the rotor blade in a rotor plane as the blade tip passes through a six o'clock position. Further, the method includes generating, via one or more of the plurality of sensors, at least one distance signal representative of a distance between the blade tip of the rotor blade and the tower as the rotor blade passes by one or more of the sensors. Thus, the method also includes implementing, via a wind turbine controller, a corrective action if the distance signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2017Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Bryan Paul Williams, Mark L.

Patent number: 8543230Abstract: A system and method is provided for improving media playback and seek time for media files such as encoded audio data. As the media is decoded during playback, frame position information is stored in a frame table. This frame position information may be used for pause/resume functionality, and for seek operations. If a seek operation is to a position not stored in the frame table, the media data is parsed to produce frame position information that is added to the frame table until the seek location is reached. Frame table data may be stored in several different forms, including periodic intervals that may be selected based on the length of the media data, and also contemporaneous data useful for resuming from a pause command.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: Bryan Paul Honza

Patent number: 8493187Abstract: A wireless sensor reader is provided to interface with a wireless sensor. The wireless sensor reader transmits a narrowband, fixed frequency excitation pulse to cause the wireless sensor to generate a ring signal. The ring signal corresponds to the value of the physical parameter being sensed. The wireless sensor reader receives and amplifies the ring signal and sends the signal to a phase-locked loop. A voltage-controlled oscillator in the phase-locked loop locks onto the ring signal frequency and generates a count signal at a frequency related to the ring signal frequency. The voltage-controlled oscillator is placed into a hold mode where the control voltage is maintained constant to allow the count signal frequency to be determined. The low power, simple circuitry required to generate the excitation pulse allows the reader to be a small, battery operated unit. Alternative methods of frequency determination are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Endotronix, Inc.Inventors: Harry D.
