  • Publication number: 20110041624
    Abstract: A wind turbine gearbox test cell includes a cradle and a base mounted to a first support structure. Load devices are interconnected between the cradle and base and are configured to input at least one of thrust, radial and yaw loads to the gearbox through the cradle to a wind turbine gearbox under test. A controller is in communication with the load devices and is programmed to command the load devices to input the at least one of thrust, radial and yaw loads to the gearbox corresponding to a simulated wind turbine gearbox loading event. The test cell includes dynamometers and gearboxes that can be reconfigured based upon the particular wind turbine gearbox under test.

  • Publication number: 20100200757
    Abstract: Transparent optical ceramic coating materials have been fabricated from europium-doped lutetium oxide (Lu2O3:Eu) using physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition techniques. The non-pixilated film coatings have columnar microcrystalline structure and excellent properties for use as radiological scintillators, namely very high density, high effective atomic number, and light output and emission wavelength suitable for use with silicon-based detectors having a very high quantum efficiency. The materials can be used in a multitude of high speed and high resolution imaging applications, including x-ray imaging in medicine.

  • Patent number: 7322151
    Abstract: A fishing lure having stabilizing wing-like fins along each side of the lure body is generally described. Stabilizing wing-like fins allow the lure to be trolled or retrieved under the water surface while remaining upright and swimming in a life-like motion. The stabilizing wings define a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is substantially perpendicular to the lure body. The bottom surface twists along an arcuate line from a plane that begins acute to the side surface of the lure body to a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the side section of the lure body. The lure can also include a diving element towards the head section of the lure. The diving element can be a weight located within the head section of the lure.

  • Publication number: 20080010589
    Abstract: A chart data layout system and method of processing chart data in a report is provided. The chart data layout system comprises a query module for decomposing required data into required data queries, a chart layout module for rendering a chart based upon chart data received from the queries, a category module for displaying category aggregate information in a category location of a chart, and a series module for displaying series aggregate information in a series location of the chart. The method comprises the steps of decomposing required data into queries, retrieving queried data, rendering a chart based upon the queried data, rendering category information on a category label of the chart based upon queried data, and rendering series information on a series label of the chart based upon queried data.

  • Publication number: 20070299821
    Abstract: A report specification for defining a report and a system and method of producing a report output from a report definition are provided. The report specification comprises a data selection specification for defining one or more sets of data that are to be reported against and a layout specification for defining how the data is to be structured and rendered. The layout specification including elements that are typically defined in a query. The system comprises a report engine for decomposing a report definition into a layout definition and a query set component, a query engine for processing a query results definition of the query set to produce query results to be rendered, and a rendering engine for creating the final report by using the query results and the layout definition.

  • Patent number: 4295153
    Abstract: A light weight, compact, stereoscopic apparatus in the form of a lens assembly that can be removably attached to a conventional still motion picture or television camera as an integral unit in place of the normal lens so that a camera may be conveniently converted to three dimensional photography. The lens assembly when used results in superimposed stereoscopic records in color, which superimposed records are of the same size, and when viewed through suitably selected filters are in full relief and color, but when viewed without filters appear as a conventional two-dimensional view.
