The present invention concerns an anchoring for a post (6) to a seabed. The anchoring includes an outer tube (1) and an inner tube (3) placed inside the outer tube (1). The lower part of the post (6) is adapted for being placed in the inner tube (3) and the outer tube (1) is rigidly connected to the seabed. In one embodiment, the angle between the inner pipe (3) and the outer pipe (1) may be adjus...

The window shade (100) has collapsible shade rows (102), each adjustable from a closed state to an opened state by an operating mechanism, and including a stiff first transverse region (104) and an opposed second transverse region (106) having a stiffened edge portion (108). The operating mechanism causes the narrowing of the rows by drawing the first and second transverse regions closed together....

The OTFT includes a gate electrode formed on a substrate, a gate insulating layer formed on the gate electrode and on remaining exposed portions of the substrate, an adhesive layer formed on the gate insulating layer, source/drain electrodes formed on the adhesive layer, and a semiconductor layer ...

The invention relates to a transportation method and a package system for transporting a set of large longitudinal items such as blades for a wind turbine ( 1 ) or a tower for a wind turbine. Taking wind turbine blades ( 1 ) as an example, the advantages of the invention reside in packaging a tip ( 3 ) of one blade and a base ( 2 ) of a second blade in the one and same package ( 5 ) such that two ...

The invention relates to a hydrodynamic coupling for wind plants, comprising a primary wheel and a secondary wheel, forming together a working chamber. One of the wheels is mounted on the other wheel by means of at least one bearing. Each bearing is sealed in relation to the working chamber and the bearing is lubricated with grease. The invention is characterized by a ring-shaped baffle plate prov...

Apparatus, and an associated method, for identifying availability of service s in a radio network of a radio communication system. A system information message is generated at the radio access network that identifies the service availabili ty of the radio network, such as by indicating the communication services supported by the network. The system information message, once generated, is communica...

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is heated in a plant by a heat source and the heated LNG is expanded to produce work. In particularly preferred plants, the heat source is a combined cycle power plant, and the work is used to recompress pipeline gas produced from the heated LNG. Additionally, the refrigeration content in LNG may be utilized to increase the power generation capacity and efficiency of a ...

A method of reactive power regulation in an electrical network in which electrical power is produced by an electrical generator preferably driven by the rotor of a wind power installation and suitably modulated by means of a compensation device between the generator and the network for the compensation of reactive power, and an apparatus for producing electrical energy in an electrical network, pr...

A method of making a plastic container (40) having a body (24) and a finish (36) with at least one external thread (38) includes injection or compression molding a plastic preform (10) having a body (12) and a finish (14) with at least one external thread (16), blow molding the body of the preform to form the body of the container, and either prior to, subsequent to or both prior and subsequent to...

A novel cytokine designated TRAIL induces apoptosis of certain target cells, including cancer cells and virally infected cells. Isolated DNA sequences encoding TRAIL are disclosed, along with expression vectors and transformed host cells useful in producing TRAIL polypeptides. Antibodies that specifically bind TRAIL are provided as well.

The method involves delivering instruments in a trolley suitably identifiable for electronic data processing. The containers are removed from the trolley, the sterile instruments are removed from the containers and the instruments and containers are cleaned and disinfected in a suitable system. The sterile instruments are packed in the containers and the containers are transferred to the trolley, ...

A library monitoring system includes a number of borrowable items. Each item has a radio frequency identification device mounted thereon and the radio frequency identification device has a unique identification code. A processing unit (1) is coupled to a database containing an indication of the location of each library item and is also coupled to a borrowing location (3), a borrowed item returning...

A process stabilises and strengthens a surface (7) embedded in a hollow metal profile (1). In the process a surface treatment agent impinges on the surface with high kinetic energy. The agent is directed as a primary stream (11) against a first surface (8) from which it rebounds to arrive as a secondary stream (13) at the treatment zone (7).

A cylinder band for immobilizing an air cylinder on a buoyancy regulator includes a belt, a buckle and a coupler adapted to couple the belt and buckle. The buckle has a pair of parallel supporting walls, which have longitudinally opposite first ends and second ends. A pivot extends through the first ends, with end surfaces thereof defining cam surfaces that enhance a tensity of the belt as the sec...

Method to design and produce a sail (11) comprising a plurality of panels (21-25) and provided with at least a reinforcement structure (27) made with a plurality of reinforcement elements (26). The method comprises in sequence a first step in which the three-dimensional geometric shape of the sail (11) is defined or acquired, and a second step, in which the reinforcement structure (27) is defined,...
