Abstract: The present invention relates to an Electro-Thermal Heating element for a wind turbine blade comprising an electrically conductive resistive material; two active busbars for supplying electrical power to the electrically conductive resistive material; and at least one dummy busbar at a predetermined spacing between the two active busbars on the electrically conductive resistive material. The present invention is also directed to a method of repair of the Electro-Thermal Heating Element.

Abstract: When a user sees a content item presented by a social networking system, the user may select an option to save the content item. The saved content item may be reinserted in a newsfeed presented to the user, integrated into collections, archived, used for notifications to the user, or otherwise subsequently presented to the user. A plug-in may be used to save content items accessed through websites external to the social networking system. As privacy settings associated with a saved content item are modified, the modified privacy settings are applied to the saved content item, which may prevent the user saving the content item from subsequently viewing the saved content item.

Abstract: An arm assembly for a working vehicle, the arm assembly including a material handling implement and an arm including a single plate.

Abstract: This invention relates to a robot, more particularly to a child-sized expressive humanoid robot, with realistic, but simplified features, even more particularly to the hand of such a robot, where the hand comprises a magnet and an RFID sensor and optionally a FSR sensor to enable object interaction between a user and the robot.

Abstract: A rotary disc filter is provided with an integrated backwash and chemical cleaning system. In one mode of operation, backwash is directed through a control valve to one or more nozzles for spraying the backwash onto the filter media forming a part of a rotary disc filter. In a second mode, a chemical cleaning mode, the pump directs backwash through an eductor that induces a chemical into the inductor which is mixed with the backwash to form a backwash-chemical mixture that is sprayed onto the filter media. A control system is used in conjunction with the backwash and cleaning systems to monitor process information and/or filter media properties and to determine when to perform backwashes and regenerative cleanings in order to optimize the performance of the filter system.

Abstract: A disc filter is provided having a controller for controlling effluent surges that are produced by the disc filter. The method entails sensing one or more process variables that are a function of the effluent, and based at least in part on the sensed process variables, the disc filter controls the flow of effluent in order to control or minimize effluent surges.

Abstract: A disc filter having a controller for controlling or minimizing effluent surges is provided. The disc filter is operative to carry out a method or process for controlling the flow of effluent produced by the disc filter. The basic method entails sensing one or more process variables that are a function of the effluent, and based at least in part on the sensed process variables, the disc filter controls the flow of the effluent by implementing various control functions such as: 1) rotating the rotary filter discs of the disc filter one revolution or less without backwashing; 2) rotating the rotary filter discs more than one revolution at a relatively slow speed without backwashing; 3) rotating the rotary filter discs for one revolution or more at a relatively slow speed while backwashing; 4) rotating the rotary filter discs at a relatively high speed with or without backwashing; and 5) rotating the filter discs one revolution or more and periodically backwashing.

Abstract: An approach is provided for presenting polymorphic notes in a graphical user interface. A polymorphic note manager receives a request to display a plurality of polymorphic notes on a graphical user interface of a device. In response to the request, the polymorphic note manager determines an order of the plurality of polymorphic notes according to either an associated date or, if there is no associated date, a creation date corresponding to each of the plurality of polymorphic notes.

Abstract: An approach is provided for exploring connections of a polymorphic note. A polymorphic note manager receives a request to display one or more polymorphic notes connected to a selected polymorphic note. In response to the request, the polymorphic note manager determining the one or more connected polymorphic notes and causes, at least in part, actions that result in display of the selected polymorphic note, the one or more connected polymorphic notes, corresponding connections between the selected polymorphic note and the one or more connection polymorphic notes, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An asset tracking and maintenance scheduling and verification system for coordinating preventative or periodic maintenance activities for a collection of assets. A system server is responsible for maintenance of an asset database including a database record for each asset identifying tracking and maintenance information for the asset. The system server generates task lists for assets based at least in part upon data stored in the database. One or more remote handheld devices are in selective communication with he system server to receive the task lists, whereupon a user in possession of a handheld device is directed to perform a series of tasks on one or more assets. In the course of performing such tasks, a user inputs task-related information that is subsequently uploaded to the system server and incorporated into the database, such that subsequent task lists generated by the system server will reflect previous performance of tasks.
