Abstract: A structural tower having a space frame construction for high elevation and heavy load applications is disclosed, with particular application directed to wind turbines. The structural tower includes damping or non-damping struts in the longitudinal, diagonal or horizontal members of the space frame. One or more damping struts in the structural tower damp resonant vibrations or vibrations generated by non-periodic wind gusts or sustained high wind speeds. The various longitudinal and diagonal members of the structural tower may be secured by pins, bolts, flanges or welds at corresponding longitudinal or diagonal joints of the space frame.

Abstract: A method and system for accessing a database management system running on a server computer from within a JAVA applet running on a client computer. The JAVA applet prepares a URL to address an active server page on the server computer, embedding a database query within the URL. The JAVA applet then accesses the active server page using the prepared URL. The server computer, upon receiving a request for access to the active server page, executes a script stored within the active server page that receives the database query embedded within the URL, passes the query to the database management system, receives from the database management system the query results, creates a HTML document, and stores the query results in the HTML document. The server computer then returns the HTML document to the client computer, where the JAVA applet reads the query results from the HTML document.
