  • Patent number: 11847412
    Abstract: Enforcing data ownership may include receiving a request to register an application programming interface (API) endpoint. A plurality of elements of the API endpoint and a target API endpoint may be preprocessed. A distance may be computed for each of element of the API endpoint relative to at least one of the elements of the target API endpoint. A distance score for the API endpoint may be computed based on the distance scores. A term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) value may be computed for a plurality of metadata terms of the API endpoint and the target API endpoint. A similarity score between the TF-IDF values of the metadata terms may be computed. An adjusted score may be computed for the API endpoint based on the distance score and the similarity scores. The API endpoint may be registered based on the adjusted score being below a permissions threshold.

  • Patent number: 11781522
    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly of a wind turbine includes a rotor blade having an aerodynamic body with an inboard region and an outboard region. The inboard and outboard regions define a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The inboard region includes a blade root, whereas the outboard region includes a blade tip. The rotor blade also defines a chord and a span. Further, the inboard region includes a transitional region of the rotor blade that includes a maximum chord. Moreover, a unitless first derivative of the chord with respect to the span of the rotor blade in the transitional region ranges from about ?0.10 to about 0.10 from the maximum chord over about 15% of the span of the rotor blade. In addition, the unitless first derivative of the chord with respect to the span a slope of a change in the chord in is greater than about ?0.03 at an inflection point of the chord in the outboard region.

  • Publication number: 20200063709
    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly of a wind turbine includes an aerodynamic body having an inboard region and an outboard region. The inboard and outboard regions define a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The inboard region includes a blade root, whereas the outboard region includes a blade tip. The outboard region also has a twist variation of less than plus or minus about 0.5 degrees (°) in order to reduce a rate of reduction in at least one of a chord length or a thickness of the rotor blade in the outboard region.

  • Publication number: 20070092372
    Abstract: An inlet guide vane provides improved, smooth airflow and avoids separation of flow even at high incidence angles. The inlet guide vane includes a strut having opposite side surfaces that are continuously curved to provide a controlled velocity distribution at the trailing edge of the strut. The inlet guide vane further includes a flap having a leading edge aligned behind the trailing edge of the strut. Generally, the strut and the flap are designed together so that low momentum air in the gap between the strut and the flap will be energized and entrained in the boundary layer of the flap. The airflow from the gap will remain attached to the flap to improve the flow from the flap.
