  • Patent number: 8955394
    Abstract: A device for measuring the torque, the direction of rotation, and the speed of rotation of a shaft of a transmission, in particular an output shaft of an azimuth transmission, includes bands configured to be mounted in a fixed position on an outer circumference of the shaft. The bands are configured to be detected by measuring sensors and allow torsion of the shaft to be measured. Each of the measuring sensors has a Hall effect sensor, and the bands are respectively arranged at two different positions on the outer circumference of the shaft. Each of the bands includes polygonal apertures and/or depressions having webs located between the apertures and/or depressions. The webs are configured to be detected by the measuring sensors. A method includes operating the device to measure the torque, the direction of rotation, and the speed of rotation of the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20130272874
    Abstract: A method for determining a bending angle of a rotor blade of a wind turbine system includes step of reading in an acceleration signal which represents an acceleration of the rotor blade acting essentially perpendicularly with respect to a rotor plane. In addition, the method includes a step of determining the bending angle of the rotor blade of the wind turbine using the acceleration signal.

  • Publication number: 20130191043
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for determining an estimated value for at least one measured variable of a wind turbine. The measured variable represents a bending torque on a blade root of a rotor blade of the wind turbine from a rotor plane. The method includes reading in the measured variable and an angle of attack for the rotor blade. The method further includes adapting a model, which simulates an estimated value of the measured variable on the basis of a modeling instruction for a relationship between the measured variable and the angle of attack. The model is adapted using the read-in measured variable and the read-in angle of attack. The method also includes providing the estimated value for the at least one measured variable using the model.

  • Publication number: 20080308367
    Abstract: An air spring and damper unit for vehicles has, as operating spaces, at least two pressure spaces filled with compressed air and connected to one another via flow channels. The pressure spaces have movable walls in the form of rolling bellows or folding bellows, wherein a pilot-controlled main valve which can be loaded with a control pressure on the low-pressure side is configured at least in one flow direction in a first flow channel.

  • Publication number: 20070075035
    Abstract: A method for microstructuring surfaces of a workpiece includes the following steps: a) placing a workpiece to be structured into a liquid medium; b) providing a light source for producing a cavitation bubble in the liquid medium; and c) producing a cavitation bubble using the light source in such a way that the subsequent collapse of the cavitation bubble structures the surface of the workpiece, in particular material is removed from the surface.
