Publication number: 20190360460Abstract: A method for rotating the rotor of a wind turbine, in particular in still air conditions. The rotor rotates about a rotor axis and comprises at least three rotor blades, each having a center of gravity located outside of the respective axes of rotation. To create an imbalance in the rotor, the blade pitch angle of a first rotor blade is systematically set to be different from the blade pitch angle of a second rotor blade in such a way that a gravitational torque about the rotor axis is generated as a result of the change in the position of the center of gravity of the first rotor blade. The invention also relates to a computer program product and a wind turbine, which are designed to carry out this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2018Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventor: Roland Fischer

Patent number: 8750984Abstract: A device for stimulation via electric and magnetic fields is provided. The autonomic/vegetative nervous system can be controlled by signals in the frequency ranges of 0.05 to 0.15 Hz and 0.15 to 0.30 Hz, respectively. By addition of characteristic sinusoidal oscillations between the head and a peripheral area with the corresponding low-frequency sympathetic or parasympathetic control frequency as base oscillation and with application-typical EEG frequencies and higher-frequency sinusoidal oscillations in the range of ca. 250 to 1500 Hz, characteristic stimulation programs are established. These are applied by field applicators in the upper body area and in the lower body. The associated mat applicators distribute field energy. The field applicator is equipped with a combination of a magnetic-field-generating coil arrangement and an electrode arrangement generating the electric field. The electrode generating the electric field can at the same time be designed as a magnetic-field-generating coil.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2006Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Actegy Ltd.Inventors: Stewart Penny, Manfred Krauss, Roland Fischer, Werner Schmidt, Mario Mobius

Patent number: 8608606Abstract: A transmission device having power splitting. In the first driving range, the mechanical power branch transmits torque from the ring gear to the additional fixed gear by the fixed gear. In this case, power branches from the ring gear. The hydrostatic power branch branches from the second sun gear. The hydrostatic branch transmits power from the first to the second hydraulic unit. The first and second hydraulic units act respectively as a pump and a motor. On one of the hydrostatic shafts, the mechanical and hydrostatic powers are added and transmitted to the output. In the second driving range, power from the planet carrier partially branches to the ring gear and passes to the hydrostatic shaft for the second hydraulic unit. An auxiliary shaft can be coupled by a gear to a fixed gear operatively connected to a shaft of the power splitting device.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Roland Fischer, Michael Siber, Robert Morrison

Patent number: 8535190Abstract: A transmission with power branching, and the transmission, in a first drive range, transmits torque from the ring gear to a fixed wheel. In one branch, power is transmitted from a first to a second hydraulic unit which respectively operate as a pump and a motor. At one of the hydrostatic shafts, the mechanical and hydrostatic power are summed and transmitted to the drive output. In a second drive range, power coming from the planetary carrier is partially branched off to the ring gear and transmitted, via the gear wheels of the hydrostatic shaft, to the second hydraulic unit. From the second hydraulic unit, hydraulic power passes to the first hydraulic unit. In the process, the first hydraulic unit operates as a motor and the second hydraulic unit as a pump. From the second sun gear, power is transmitted to the double planetary gear and summed.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Roland Fischer, Michael Siber, Robert Morrison

Patent number: 8042759Abstract: A winding machine for electrical coils to be wound into layers has a device which supplies a material to the coil to be wound in order to separate adjacent layers of the coil from one another. The device has a device for producing a predetermined breaking point in the material, and a measuring unit. The measuring unit determines when the device for producing a predetermined breaking point is to be activated in order to produce a predetermined breaking point in the material. The device also has a guide device which fixes the material on the coil to be wound in the vicinity of the predetermined breaking point at a predetermined time, in order to sever the material at the predetermined breaking point. The winding machine therefore anticipates when a layer change is required, in order to then produce a predetermined breaking point in the material at a distance from the coil.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2005Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Tuboly-Astronic AGInventors: Reinhold Bauer, Roland Fischer, Daniel Künzli, Christoph Müller
