Abstract: A vertical-axis wind power machine has adaptive airfoils to extract energy at low to moderate wind speeds, and also at higher speeds. The systems and methods described herein employ control system techniques to manage large, variable-area sails, which can be made of durable flexible fabric, such as that used in modern sailboats. To match wind conditions, sail area can be adjusted through furling and unfurling techniques. For low wind speeds, the sails can be mostly or fully unfurled. At higher wind conditions, the sails can be partially furled. For extreme weather conditions, furling is complete. Sail pairs rotate around a central axis to generate electricity.

Abstract: A system for detecting and recording head orientations of a person includes: a first sensor device capable of providing sensor data regarding a head orientation of a person in a three-dimensional space; a data acquisition system configured for storing and outputting the sensor data from the first sensor device; and a processor configured for processing the sensor data from the data acquisition system, outputting a first signal representing the head orientation, and generating an image for presentation by a graphical display; wherein the image comprises: a first reference indicator; an orientation indicator, wherein a position of the orientation indicator in the image is determined based on the first signal from the processor, and a feedback indicator when a first condition is met.
