Abstract: In the case of wind turbines 10, deviations from the optimum operating state result in output losses. This applies, in particular, to angular deviations 62 in the alignment of the nacelle 14, and therefore of the rotor axis 28, relative to the wind direction 60. The invention relates to a wind turbine 10, and to a method for operating such a wind turbine, which wind turbine and method enable the nacelle 14 to be corrected, in respect of the wind direction, both on the basis of wind power and by motor.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a billing platform capable of building a real time aggregation without actually generating an invoice. In one embodiment, the method comprises steps of upon occurrence of an event to be charged, calculating (S102) a charge for the event; retrieving (S103) categorization attributes of charge information of the event; generating (S104) an identifier from the categorization attributes; and if an aggregation entity with the identifier does not exist in the billing platform, creating (S106) a new aggregation entity with the charge and the identifier, and storing the new aggregation entity in the billing platform. By storing a real time charge aggregation of an event in the platform rather than the event itself, a real time or continuous view of the upcoming invoice may be provided without actually generating the invoice.

Abstract: A control device for a yaw system of a wind turbine, of the type having a supporting structure and a machine support rotatably mounted on the supporting structure for rotation about a yaw axis, includes at least one adjusting device connected between the supporting structure and the machine support of the wind turbine. The at least one adjusting device includes a drivetrain having a drive element and a gear mechanism and at least one yaw brake operable to selectively rotationally fix the machine support on the supporting structure. The yaw brake engages between the drive element and the gear mechanism of the drive train of the adjusting device.

Abstract: Device for disembarkation on a marine structure for landing a craft that can be conveyed on the surface of water, comprising interacting landing devices arranged to the marine structure and craft respectively. The landing devices comprise a principally vertically elongated part and a contact member, respectively. The contact member is intended to partially surround part of the elongated part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transferring data from a drawing device, which while utilizing a position-coding pattern, printed on a physical page, digitally records handwritten information, to an application in a computer system. The drawing device transfers recorded data to a memory in the computer system. A registering unit in the system determines from which part of the position-coding pattern the recorded data originates and activates, on the basis thereof, one or more applications which are registered as “subscribers” to data from this part of the pattern. When an application is activated and thus informed of the existence of new data relevant to the application, the application fetches this data. The fetching of data can be made on the basis of the contents of a page-describing file which defines the layout of the physical page.
