  • Patent number: 9413205
    Abstract: A drive arrangement (12) for a wind turbine (10) is disclosed, having a rotor shaft (20) and a gearbox assembly (22) for transferring torque to an electrical power generator (18). The gearbox assembly comprises an input shaft (40), an output shaft (42), a primary gear stage (44) and a secondary gear stage (46). The drive arrangement also comprises a drive transfer mechanism (24) for transferring torque from the rotor shaft into the gearbox assembly via the input shaft, and a primary load carrying member (56) for releasably mounting the gearbox assembly to a housing (34) of the turbine. The rotor shaft is at least partly hollow, having an internal cavity (28) in which at least parts of the gearbox assembly and drive transfer mechanism are located. The gearbox assembly is mountable within the rotor shaft as a single unit by the primary load carrying member.

  • Patent number: 8433333
    Abstract: A radio network controller of a wireless telecommunications network having an umbrella cell base station for an umbrella cell and capacity cell base stations for capacity cells within the umbrella cell includes a network interface from which a message is sent to the umbrella base station of the umbrella cell to search for capacity cells within the umbrella cell to redirect traffic of an AT from the umbrella cell to at least one of the capacity cells, and at which eligible capacity cells to which traffic of the AT can be redirected is received. The controller includes a processing unit which selects target capacity cells from the eligible capacity cells to which traffic of the AT will be redirected. A method for a radio network controller of a wireless telecommunications network having an umbrella cell base station for an umbrella cell and capacity cell base stations for capacity cells within the umbrella cell.

  • Patent number: 7002773
    Abstract: Aerodynamic forces contribute to disk and actuator vibration leading to track positioning errors in storage devices such as hard disk drives. The invention provides a variety of dampening mechanisms and a method of dampening to alleviate these problems in single disk storage devices. This includes disk drives of at most 13 millimeters in height.

  • Publication number: 20050188063
    Abstract: A method, system, and program for modifying a DHCP configuration for one system according to a request from another system are provided. A first system specifies a modify packet to request modification of a stored configuration for a dynamically configured system. The first system then sends the modify packet to a DHCP server that manages the stored configuration for the dynamically configured system. Responsive to the DHCP server authenticating the first system as privileged to make the modification request, the DHCP server modifies the stored configuration according to the modify packet, such that one system can request modification of the DHCP configuration for another system without logging into the DHCP server.

  • Patent number: 6826402
    Abstract: A method for providing wireless communications system providers to adjust when soft and hard handoffs occur relative to the signal strengths of surrounding antennae. This is achieved by providing two sets of parameters. The first set of parameters is used to adjust either hard or soft handoffs, and the second set of parameters are added as an offset to the first set of parameters to adjust the other handoff, thereby, allowing the wireless communications system providers system to adjust soft and hard handoffs independently.

  • Patent number: 6771451
    Abstract: A method for centering the disk of a disk stack assembly. The method includes the step of applying a torque to the disk stack and spinning the disks. Both the torque and the spinning speed are less than normal operating values. A series of radial forces may then be applied to the disk stack. The series of forces will cause the rotating disks to self center. The rotating disks are eventually spun down and a full torque is applied to the disk stack to secure the disks.
