Abstract: A computing device receives a first user input that includes user selection of a first data field of a data source from a schema information region of a user interface and placement of the first data field into a data visualization region of the user interface. When the first data field corresponds to a geographic data field, the computing device determines longitude and latitude information for data values of the first data field. The computing device generates a map data visualization corresponding to the first data field according to the determined longitude and latitude information. The map data visualization includes a first layer having a first set of data marks corresponding to the first data field. The computing device displays, in the data visualization region, the map data visualization including the first set of data marks.

Abstract: A method generates map visualizations with multiple map layers. A user selects a data source with geographic data. A device displays a data visualization user interface, including a schema information region with data fields, and shelf regions that defining characteristics for a data visualization. The user selects a first geographic data, and the user interface generates a map data visualization using coordinates associated with the first geographic data field. The visualization includes a first plurality of data marks in a first layer. The user selects a second geographic data field. In response, the user interface displays a new layer icon. Upon activation of the new layer icon by the second geographic data field, the user interface superimposes a second layer over the existing map data visualization to form an updated map data visualization. The second layer includes a second plurality of data marks corresponding to the second geographic data field.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wind turbine rotor which includes a plurality of blades and a hub root, wherein at least one blade is provided with at least one electrostatic noise grounding system. The electrostatic noise grounding system includes an insulated rod having a first end and a second end, a conductive core passing through the insulated rod, a first conductive element connected to the conductive core at the first end of the insulated rod, and a second conductive element competed to the conductive core at the second end of the insulated rod. The electrostatic noise grounding system is secured to a portion of the rotor (e.g., blade bearing housing or blade bearing housing bolted connection) such that the first conductive element is in direct physical contact with at least a portion of the surface of at least one blade and the second conductive element is in direct physical contact with at least a portion of the surface of the hub root.

Abstract: A walking aid having a body support member (43, 70, 100) and a pair of leg support members (42, 90, 110, 112) each of which is interconnected by a central or crotch pivot (41, 79, 113) so as to be independently movable with respect to each other. In one embodiment the body support member is a back support member (43). In another embodiment the body support member is a waist belt or body strap (70, 100) and having one or more inguinal straps or connections straps (74, 104, 105) interconnecting the waist belt or body strap to the crotch pivot. Each leg support member (42, 90, 110, 112) may be attached to leg callipers, knee-ankle foot orthoses (KAFO'S) or other specialized leg supports or attachments.
