  • Patent number: 11885227
    Abstract: A method and a calculation unit for calculating a load skewness result for a determination of service intervals for a turbine, includes: receiving a continuously measured load signal over time, indicating a load of the turbine during operation thereof; determining a load percentage signal over time as a deviation of the received measured load signal from a maximum capacity signal, wherein the maximum capacity signal represents a maximal possible load to be generated at a given time and is calculated from continuously measured sensor signals, representing operating parameters of turbine operation; calculating a load percentage distribution based on the determined load percentage signal; calculating a load skewness factor as a measure of an asymmetry of the calculated load percentage distribution; providing the load skewness result, including the calculated load percentage distribution and the calculated load skewness factor.

  • Publication number: 20220398248
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for improving the possibilities to retrieve data from a database, includes receiving instructions from a user interface and providing data to the user interface, wherein the database contains a plurality of datasets and a plurality of relationships of the datasets. The database provides a search interface based on graph query language. Data is exchanged by the search interface based on the graph query language. Instructions entered in the user interface being at least partially not in graph query language are processed and/or data retrieved from the database being in graph query language are processed.

  • Patent number: 5628103
    Abstract: A seat attachment capable of being mounting on the standard of a seat. The seat attachment comprises a container holder, a first flexible arm extending from the container holder and a second flexible arm extending from the container holder. A first mounting bracket is located at a first end of the first arm and a second mounting bracket is located at a first end of the second arm. The seat attachment is mounted on the seat through the use of a plurality of bolts, each of which is inserted through a hole in one of the mounting brackets, through a hole in the standard, and a into a corresponding hole in the seat. When the bolts are tightened, the first and second arms substantially conform to the shape of the seat on which they are mounted.
