  • Publication number: 20210270231
    Abstract: A system (20) and method for aerodynamic torsion damping of a wind turbine rotor blade (1) having a wind turbine rotor blade aerofoil with a leading edge (2) and a trailing edge (3). An additional aerofoil (6; 6?) is coupled to the wind turbine rotor blade (1), and has a leading edge (7; 7?) and a trailing edge (8; 8?). The leading edge (7; 7?) of the additional aerofoil (6; 6?) is positioned rearward of an elastic axis (E) of the wind turbine rotor blade (1) and generates lift to counter torsional forces experienced by the wind turbine rotor blade (1) along its length.

  • Patent number: 9387343
    Abstract: A medical apparatus for effecting radiation treatment on a pre-selected anatomical portion of an animal body is disclosed. The medical apparatus may include a plurality of treatment channels configured to be positioned adjacent a body tissue and a plurality of delivery channels coupled to a corresponding number of treatment channels. The medical apparatus may also include a plurality of source channels configured to receive one or more energy sources, a tracking channel configured to receive a tracking element, and a connecting element configured to connect each delivery channel with either one of the plurality of sources channels or the tracking channel.

  • Patent number: 8133166
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for effecting radiation treatment on a pre-selected anatomical portion of an animal body comprising: a group of n hollow treatment channels being inserted at one or more pre-planned positions in said pre-selected anatomical portion; a group of m delivery channels to be connected to a corresponding number m from said group of n hollow treatment channels with m being 2 or more and n being 1 or more; identifying means for identifying which one of said m delivery channels is being connected with which one of said n hollow treatment channels, said identifying means comprising a tracking element accommodated in a tracking channel, said tracking element being intended to be displaced from said tracking channel through each of said interconnected m delivery channels and m treatment channels; storage means for storing k energy emitting sources in a corresponding source-channel, with k?m; delivery means for temporarily inserting said k energy emitting sources from their source-chan
