  • Patent number: 11983091
    Abstract: A system and method to adaptively generate a program model. Source code of a program to be tested for code issues, and a set of predefined patterns to be tested in the source code are received. Feature configuration data is generated by determining a set of features corresponding to the received set of predefined patterns. A set of program models is identified by selecting, for each feature in the set of features, a program model from among a plurality of program models that is optimized for the feature. A dynamic program model is built based on the identified set of program models, the dynamic program model being adapted to resolve each of the patterns included in the received set of predefined patterns. And the source code is tested for code issues by extracting from the dynamic program model instances of each of the set of predefined patterns.

  • Publication number: 20240126542
    Abstract: A method or system for testing and benchmarking commits made on source code. The system extracts commits from a history of a first code history that records a sequence of commits made thereon. The extracted commits are then combined into a sequence of patches, each of which includes changes made during consecutive commits. The system also establishes a connection with a system under test (SUT) having a second code repository corresponding to a historical version of the first code repository before the extracted commits were made, and sequentially applies the sequence of the patches to the second code repository. Performance of the SUT is monitored during the application of the sequence of the patches to determine whether the SUT performs as expected after the application of each patch.

  • Publication number: 20120230827
    Abstract: A method for repairing a wind turbine is described. The method may include preparing the surface of the blade, removing a plurality of mounting bolts, and replacing the mounting bolts with rod members. The rod members may be bonded to the blade root thereby strengthening the blade root and/or repairing any damaged or weakened regions. This repair may be performed on blades and blade coupling regions of various characteristics as well in modular fashion using pre-molded sections attached together around the blade root. The method of repair may be performed while the blade is still attached to the turbine hub. Wind turbines repaired according to these methods are also described. The method may also be used for attaching and otherwise handling new turbine blades and new wind turbines.

  • Patent number: 8231347
    Abstract: Drive units for variable-length rotor blades are located so as to move mass closer to the center of a wind turbine rotor. In some cases, drive units are located within a root portion of a base blade of a blade assembly. In other cases, drive units are located outside of the blade assemblies. In some such cases, drive units are contained within separate couplers used to connect blade assemblies to a wind turbine rotor hub. In other cases, one or more drive units are located within a rotor hub.

  • Patent number: 8221078
    Abstract: Power and signals may be transmitted from a root portion of an extendable rotor blade to a moving tip portion using a slide block and a slide channel. The slide block is configured to fit within the slide channel and includes a conductive element that comes into contact with a conductive element of the slide channel. The tip portion may be attached to the slide block such that as the slide block moves along the slide channel, the tip portion is extended or retracted accordingly. The conductive elements may be fixed within each of the slide block and slide channel so that when the tip portion is retracted or extended, the conductive elements do not move.

  • Patent number: 8128361
    Abstract: A wind turbine may be controlled in a variety of manners to optimize operating parameters. In one arrangement, for example, the length or the pitch of a wind turbine rotor blade may be adjusted to avoid harmonic resonance frequencies. In another example, the length of a rotor blade may be modified to reduce noise or to optimize profits or both. The controls may be based on data from various types of sensors including accelerometers, sound meters, strain gauges and the like. Actuation of extendable rotor blades can rotate wind turbine rotors without wind or generator pulsing affording multiple advantages. A battery test control may also be used to determine the operational readiness of a battery useful for a variety of purposes in a turbine.
