20120224966 | SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE CONDITION OF ROTOR BLADES AT WIND TURBINES - Some examples relate to a system for monitoring the condition of rotor blades at wind turbines. A plurality of sensor nodes can be coupled to a rotor blade. A respective at least one sensor can be present at the individual sensor nodes for the spatially resolved detection of vibrations and/or acoustic waves of the rotor blade and the sensor nodes can be connected via optical fibers to a central supply and reception unit. A light source can be present at the central supply and reception unit and electromagnetic radiation can be conducted from it via an optical fiber to a photovoltaic converter with which the received electromagnetic radiation can be converted into electric energy. The electric energy can be utilized. | 09-06-2012 |

20110060766 | DIGITAL PATHOLOGY SYSTEM - A digital pathology system has a central workflow server hosting digital pathology application services and supporting one or more pathology workstations. The digital pathology system may include one or more image servers, providing digital images of sample specimen slides that are associated with medical cases. Residing at and executing on each pathology workstation is a digital pathology application client, which is the counterpart of digital pathology application services at the central workflow server. The combination of digital pathology application services at the central workflow server and digital pathology application client at each pathology workstation support a pathology workflow software module and a slide viewer software module. The present disclosure also describes a method of operation and/or use of the digital pathology system. | 03-10-2011 |

20100007241 | WAVEGUIDE COMPONENTS ON THE BASIS OF ACOUSTIC SURFACE WAVES, AND THEIR USE - The invention relates to waveguide components based on acoustic surface waves, comprising at least one interdigital converter for exciting acoustic surface waves in a piezoelectric substrate or a piezoelectric layer. The object of the invention is to change known waveguide components, comprising at least one interdigital converter for exciting acoustic surface waves in a piezoelectric substrate or a piezoelectric layer, such that no reflectors are necessary with an otherwise equivalent function. The inventive waveguide components are characterized in that the interdigital converter(s) a) is or are disposed at a defined distance over the piezoelectric substrate or the piezoelectric layer for exciting wave fields, or b) is or are in contact with the piezoelectric substrate or the piezoelectric layer, wherein in version a) the piezoelectric substrate is designed as a ring and the piezoelectric layer is designed as a circular region. In case of version b), the interdigital converter and/or the piezoelectric layer form circular regions. The components can be used for example as resonators, filters, oscillators and sensors. | 01-14-2010 |

20120032554 | TRANSDUCER HAVING NATURAL UNIDIRECTIONALITY FOR SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVES - The invention relates to a transducer having natural unidirectionality for surface acoustic waves, wherein an interdigital electrode structure is arranged on a piezoelectric crystal substrate and is constructed with interdigital transducers comprising collecting electrodes and fingers, wherein at least two of the fingers form a transducer cell, which comprises at least one excitation center for exciting an electrical potential wave and at least one reflection center for reflecting electrical potential waves. The invention is based on the problem of finding materials, material sections, and propagation directions for transducers having natural unidirectionality that result in a low insertion loss even in broadband transducers, and for which the frequency position is not affected or is affected only slightly by errors in the orientation of the electrode structure on the substrate despite the unidirectional characteristics of the transducers. According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the fingers are oriented perpendicularly to a direction R, wherein the direction R is directed parallel to a 1- or 3-fold rotational axis of the substrate crystal and the derivative dv/dθ=0 applies to R, wherein v is the phase velocity of the surface wave and θ is an angular deviation of the perpendicular to the finger direction from the direction R. According to a further characteristic of the invention, the electrode materials and the layer thicknesses thereof are selected in such a way that the phase shift Φs between the excitation center and a reflection center in each transducer cell, given by the equation sin | 02-09-2012 |

20110300310 | Method and Device for Coating Functional Surfaces - A method and system for coating the functional surfaces of symmetrically serrated components, in particular the tooth flanks of gears, includes a coating source emitting coating material in the form of electrically charged particles in the direction of a revolving component. A high-quality functional surface coating of the component is achieved in that a shield is arranged in the beam path between the component and the coating source transversely to the irradiation direction, which shields the component from the coating beam in a contour area with a functional surface orientation inclined flatly with respect to the irradiation direction. | 12-08-2011 |
