  • Patent number: 8169098
    Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine erected in a body of water, comprising: measuring vibrations of the wind turbine during operation; identifying at least one periodic component of said measured vibrations, wherein said periodic component is associated with interaction of said body of water and said wind turbine; and, operating at least one controller of said wind turbine so that water-induced vibrations are reduced.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7963955
    Abstract: Foil bags are used as a primary packaging for liquids, the bags permitting the liquid to be taken therefrom without the application of a considerable amount of force. A container is provided for a medicinal liquid, the container being gas-tight and liquid-tight so that it is storable over many months. The container includes a collapsible foil bag on which a flange, which is stable in respect of shape, is disposed. The flange is designed for fitting onto a discharge connection member. The container can be disposed in a casing which is stable in respect of shape. The medicinal liquid does not come into contact with air and is protected from the effect of light. The medicinal liquid may be dispensed from the foil bag in many partial quantities over a prolonged period of time, with a respective partial amount thereof being converted into an aerosol by means of an atomizer.

  • Patent number: 7090093
    Abstract: For medical fluids, two-part containers are used which consist of an inner container and an outer container which is impenetrable to diffusion. The inner container collapses when the fluid is removed. For the purposes of pressure compensation between the gaseous space, disposed between the inner- and outer containers, and the surroundings of the two-part container, a pressure compensation device is required by means of which at the same time the loss of fluid through diffusion from the collapsible inner container is kept as little as possible. To that end, at least one channel is used which communicates the gas-filled intermediate space with the surroundings of the two-part container. The time constant for compensation of a pressure differential of a few millibars is within the region of quite a few hours. It is obtained by selecting the length of the channel and channel cross-section.

  • Publication number: 20060144842
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel tank (1) for a motor vehicle, the upper section of which is provided with at least one opening (4) of a ventilation system. According to the invention, at least one chamber (5, 6) for receiving fuel (2) when the fuel tank (1) is in an inclined position, is configured in the upper section (8) of the fuel tank (1).

  • Patent number: 6783022
    Abstract: A ventilation device for a fuel tank includes an antisurge element designed as a porous component manufactured from sintered plastic. The antisurge element prevents fuel which is sloshing around in the fuel tank from penetrating into an activated carbon filter of the ventilation device. The antisurge element is a fixed component that does not require any movable parts and is produced particularly cost-effectively.
