Publication number: 20240011808Abstract: Systems, devices and method for laser Doppler-based fluid flow analysis. A Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) technique may be used to analyze fluid flows in various contexts, such as blood flow in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems, and in other applications. Fluid velocity and volumetric flow may be measured. A laser source, optical fiber, and/or a photodiode may be used. Some embodiments may assess particulate parameters such as hemoglobin concentration in blood, reduce spectral noise via flow disturbance, reduce spectral noise using light of particular wavelength ranges, reduce noise via data analysis and signal processing techniques, and/or determine flow rate based on a non-linear relationship between a first weighted moment and the fluid flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Andreas Winzer, Christian Möller, Johannes Stigloher

Patent number: 11353005Abstract: A method for operating a wind power installation is provided. The wind power installation comprises an aerodynamic rotor with rotor blades, where the rotor can be operated with a variable rotor rotation speed. The wind power installation outputs an output power generated from wind for feeding into an electrical supply grid. The wind power installation can be operated in a normal operating mode without power reduction and in a reduced operating mode with power reduction, in which a specified power reduced with respect to a rated installation power is specified. When operating in the reduced operating mode for wind speeds above a rated wind speed, at least in one rotation speed increase region, the wind power installation increases its rotor rotation speed as the wind speed rises further.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Wobben Properties GmbHInventors: Ralf Messing, Christian Möller

Patent number: 8042409Abstract: This invention relates to a method of measuring mass flow of a first gas component in a gas consisting of one or more known gas components. Typically such methods assume that certain parameters were constant, such as the gas composition, pressure and/or temperature, and likewise the heat capacity, density, etc., of the gas were presumed to be such that they could be determined to have a constant value. However, it has been found that the determination of the mass flow is associated with a comparatively high degree of measurement uncertainty, when it is assumed that the parameters are constant. The core of the invention relies on this discovery and on a method wherein all of the gas parameters that are used in the determination of the mass flow of the first gas component and that may vary considerably as a function of the gas composition, pressure and/or temperature are determined continually.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Geopal System A/SInventor: Christian Møller
