  • Patent number: 9037957
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments involve an application receiving an instruction to load assets, determining a priority of each of the assets, and loading at least some of the assets based on the priority. In one embodiment, the application prioritizes the loading of assets based on the accessibility of the views in which the assets are used and the resource requirements for loading the assets. In another embodiment, the application prioritizes the loading of assets based on determining a location at which each asset is stored. In another embodiment, the application prioritizes the loading of assets based on an attribute associated with rendering each of the assets for display. In another embodiment, the application prioritizes the loading of assets on which of the assets are used in one or more related views associated with the currently displayed view.

  • Publication number: 20140021795
    Abstract: A contactless inductively coupled power transfer system is provided_including multiple pairs of power transmitter and power receiver coils and a power management module for controlling the supply of power to transmitter coils or the power supplied by the power receiver module to loads. The design is particularly suited for use in a wind turbine to supply power to the nacelle. The transmitter coils may be driven in phase at the same frequency or at different frequencies selected to avoid interaction between transmitter coils and the power transmitter module. The transmitter and receiver coils may be arranged in a traditional slip ring type configuration with adjacent coil pairs are physically spaced apart to avoid cross coupling with adjacent transmitter and receiver coil pairs shielded from each other. The power transmitter module may employ Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS).
