| 20090202173 | Optimization of Image Processing Using Multiple Processing Units - Some embodiments provide an image editing application that utilizes at least two processing units to efficiently process an image with multiple effects after at least one of the effects modified from the image. Some such embodiments maintain a queue for identifying each of the effects to reprocess. Some embodiments determine a modified ordering for the effects in the queue based on criteria that is related to reducing data exchanges between the processing units when applying the effects. From the modified ordering, a first processing unit applies a first set of the effects before passing resulting data to a second processing unit for application of a second set of the effects. The second processing unit applies a second set of effects to produce the image with the multiple effects and the at least one effect removed or modified. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20110109646 | Cursor for Application of Image Adjustments - Systems and techniques are disclosed for applying an effect to a digital image using a cursor. An effect can be applied to an image at a region under a cursor. The cursor has an outer periphery and an effect indicating periphery within the outer periphery. The outer periphery defines a maximum extent to which the effect is applied. The effect indicating periphery indicates how the effect will be applied to the image, such as providing a visual indication of a softness setting. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20110213400 | Process for Generating Microwalled Encapsulation Balloons - A method and product thereby for generating a biocompatible balloon, comprising, in combination: compressing with a first die at least two porous membranes enclosed by a releasing agent between the first die and each of the at least porous membranes, wherein the releasing agent has a melting point above that of the porous membranes; heating the porous membranes to a temperature between the melting point of the porous membranes and the melting point of the releasing agent; and removing the first die; whereby the releasing agent provides support to the porous membranes by cohesive forces between the releasing agent and the porous membranes, such that the porous membranes maintain, after the compressing with the first die, a form defined by the compressing with the first die. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20100143127 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A POTENTIAL FOR ICING ON A WIND TURBINE BLADE - An embodiment of the present invention may provide a method and system for detecting icing on at least one wind turbine blade. An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a software application and process that utilizes the measure wind speed to detect icing on at least one wind turbine blade. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110064573 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING A MONITOR SET POINT LIMIT FOR A WIND TURBINE - A method for controlling operation of a wind turbine is described. The wind turbine includes a rotor having a plurality of rotor blades. The method includes measuring an atmospheric condition associated with the environment surrounding the wind turbine, providing the measured atmospheric condition to a processor, and determining at least one monitor set point limit based at least partially on the measured atmospheric condition. The method also includes applying the at least one monitor set point limit to wind turbine operation. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110135475 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING A CONDITION OF A ROTOR BLADE FOR A WIND TURBINE - A method for monitoring a condition of a rotor blade of a wind turbine is provided. The method includes transmitting, from a sensor to a controller, at least one monitoring signal indicative of a vibration of the rotor blade. The condition of the rotor blade is calculated by the controller based on the monitoring signal. | 06-09-2011 |
