Patent number: 9964095Abstract: A method for enabling servicing of a wind turbine rotor includes coupling a support cable to the blade root, the support cable extends from the blade root to a hub of the wind turbine. A lowering step lowers a rotor blade relative to the hub using the support cable so the rotor blade is spaced apart from the hub by an initial vertical distance. An installing step installs a rotor blade sling on the rotor, the rotor blade sling supports the rotor blade. Other steps are used for coupling the rotor blade to the rotor blade sling, lowering the rotor blade such that the rotor blade is spaced apart from the hub by a distance greater than the initial vertical distance, de-coupling the support cable from the blade root, and interposing a rotor servicing fixture between the rotor blade and hub. The rotor servicing fixture is configured to transport a rotor part.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Gaylon Mitchell Pfeiffer, Ulrich Werner Neumann, Brent Hamilton Holloway, Michael Royce Johnson, Kevin Thomas Costain, Forrest Christopher Hach, Howard Lee Hansen, Jr.

Publication number: 20170236313Abstract: A method of placing an individual against a historical backdrop involves comparing biographical data of the individual, such as birth, death, marriage dates, and places of residences with historical figures, events and locations. These historical figures, events, and locations are compared against the individual's biographical data to determine what degree, if any, impact they had or might have had on the individual's life. A historical backdrop is then created that displays the most significant historical figures, events, and locations to the individual and/or the user. This historical backdrop can be displayed, among other ways, as a map, a timeline, a narrative and/or a movie.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Adam S.

Patent number: 9621336Abstract: A system and a technique for recovering data from an input data stream without synchronization of an input sampling circuit to the input data stream determines a count of incoming samples (or frames) without generating a signal that is frequency-locked to the input data stream. A first clock is generated comprising a frequency that is greater than or equal to an expected frequency of the input data stream. A sample count is incremented in response to a sample received in the input data stream, and is decremented in response to a second clock signal. The second clock is generated from the first clock signal by passing the first clock signal if the sample count of the sample counter does not equal a predetermined sample count value and by blocking the first clock signal if the sample count equals the predetermined sample count value.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: AVNERA CORPORATIONInventors: Samuel J.
