Abstract: The present invention relates to a solution for a floating wind platform made of reinforced concrete for mass production, characterized by a geometric design providing a hydrostatic natural prestressing to the concrete, causing it to work under compression. The structural response of the platform for working in the most effective mode is improved, and the occurrence of fractures or cracks in the concrete is prevented, which reduces permeability and allows for reducing the rebar to be contained in the structure, also increasing operational safety. Furthermore, the invention has a system for anchoring the mooring lines to the structure in the form of a truss made of reinforced concrete which evenly distributes mooring stresses, minimizing prestressing in the high area of the platform, and increasing the area for distributing shear forces due to the change in section between the platform and the tower of the wind turbine.

Abstract: A method for detecting an electrical fault in an electrical installation includes: measuring an alternating electric current flowing through the electrical installation; detecting an electrical fault on the basis of the measured electric current; and tripping the electrical protection device when an electrical fault is identified by the electronic control device. The detection of the fault includes identifying a transition of the measured current from a first level to a second level with a duration lower than a predefined threshold which is lower than or equal to 10% of the nominal period of the alternating electric current, the first level and the second level corresponding to current values of opposite sign but the amplitude of which, in terms of absolute value, is higher than a predefined current threshold equal to the product of the trip threshold of the protection device and a weighting coefficient.

Abstract: A passive locking system for solar trackers having a connecting rod (110), a guide lock (120) and a suspension mechanism applied to a pin (116) integral with the connecting rod (110). The connecting rod (110) is joined at a first end (112) to a rotation profile (200) of the solar tracker. The second end (114) of the connecting rod (110) has the aforementioned pin (116). The guide lock (120) is elongated, fixed to a support post and has two upper (122) and lower longitudinal edges (124) and an inner guide rail (126). The upper and lower longitudinal contours of the guide rail (126) have teeth (127) along the same. The system has a suspension mechanism that damps the movements of the pin (116) within the guide rail (126) substantially perpendicular to the contours of the rail.

Abstract: HSP110 inhibitors bind directly to the nucleotide binding domain of HSP110 and then block the phosphorylation of STAT3, cancer cell growth or MyD88 stability. Aspects involve a compound of formula (I) for use in the treatment of a HSP110-associated cancer, for example colorectal cancer and lymphoma. An examplary compound was tested on a syngeneic model for which mouse colon cancer CT-26 cells were injected into Balb/c mice and on a NOD/SCID model in which mice were implanted with human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells. In those animals bearing a tumor, the compound induced tumor regression that was associated with the inhibition of other HSP110 reported tumorigenic functions (resistance to apoptosis, induction of pro-tumor macrophages). Further, the compound was tested on large B cell lymphoma cell lines (DLBCL) and it was able to alter the interaction between HSP110 and MyD88, which induces a degradation of the oncogene MyD88.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for improvements to a work vehicle that utilizes an implement that may be partially obscured from operator view during use. A camera array can be mounted to the vehicle to generate image data for the working environment of the implement and target object of the implement. Further, a gaze direction and position for the vehicle operator can be detected using a second camera array. The implement image data and operator image data can be combined to generate an augmented image for display in the line of sight of the operator. The augmented image comprises computer generated representations of the implement where it is obscured from view, along with the target object. In this way, the operator can effectively interact with the target object, even though the implement and object may be out of direct sight of the operator.

After detecting the short circuit, the current at an output conductor for one of the three-phases is stopped and then resumed after a sufficient amount of current causes a downstream protection device of the faulty load to trip.
