  • Publication number: 20220154691
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a method for operating a wind turbine which includes a speed-variable drive system. The system includes an electrical machine and a pulsewidth modulation-controlled converter. The speed-variable drive system is connected to an electrical grid. In the event of a transient grid fault, a frequency of the pulsewidth modulation is determined in response to a current in an electrical circuit connected to the converter.

  • Patent number: 10727843
    Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine configured to supply electrical power to an electrical power supply network via a converter comprises measuring a phase angle and measuring a voltage of the electrical power supply network. A value of at least one parameter for a phase locked loop is determined depending on the measured voltage. The phase locked loop is used to determine a corrected phase angle depending on the measured phase angle and the voltage of the electrical power supply network. The corrected phase angle is input into the converter.

  • Publication number: 20110097396
    Abstract: A cosmetic capsule which can be topically applied and rubbed in and comprises a casing material and a filling material enclosed by the casing material. The casing material is composed of an emulsion which comprises one or more waxes that are solid above 25° C. and the filling material comprising a preparation which has an abrasive effect and comprises one or more abrasive peeling agents which are present in an oil or lipid mixture, a surfactant-containing preparation or an emulsion.

  • Patent number: 7365659
    Abstract: A method of context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) of a sequence of data slices permits for quick initialization of context models. The data slices include a plurality of binarized symbols with context individual values having one or more bins of the binarized symbol. The method includes resetting an addressable status register for each new data slice where the status register includes status flag for one of a plurality of available context variable values. Context models are selected for each of a plurality of context individual values and are coded according to a selected context model. A selected context model is updated for an actual context index value based on the previous context index value.

  • Publication number: 20080003389
    Abstract: A composite tube includes at least two linings, wherein the first lining is an inert lining and wherein the second lining is placed radially outside of the first lining. A technical goal is to make available a composite tube, which provides an inert conduit for the transported medium and which, upon bending, does not prematurely kink itself. This technical goal is achieved in that a third deformable lining is provided and in that the third lining is placed radially outside of the first lining and is bound to the intervening second lining.

  • Patent number: 7012935
    Abstract: A device, system and method for aligning data received on a plurality of data lanes in a data link are disclosed. One or more alignment vectors are generated for each of a plurality of data lanes where each alignment vector represents a location of an alignment character in an associated one of the data lanes. For each data lane, a plurality of alignment vectors may be associated with one or more alignment windows associated with the data lane. If the alignment vectors of the data lanes are associated with a common alignment window, an alignment position may be selected for each data lane.
