20100229428FOOTWEAR WITH RETRACTABLE SPIKES - A shoe and an apparatus for selectively extending spikes from the bottom of a shoe. The shoe has a sole having a longitudinal direction a plurality of spike apertures. The apparatus comprises a plurality of spike assemblies, each being locatable within one of the spike apertures an elongate member extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shoe and a cyclically alternating positioner for moving the elongate member between the first and second positions. The positioner including an actuating button. Depressing the actuating button a first time causes the positioner to move the elongate member to a first position whereat the spikes are extended from the sole. Depressing the actuating button a second time causes the positioner to move the elongate member to the second position whereat the spikes are retracted into the sole.09-16-2010

20120042543FOOTWEAR WITH RETRACTABLE SPIKES - An apparatus for selectively extending and retracting spikes includes spike actuating assemblies mounted to, and cooperating between, a first plate and a first slider frame, and a second plate and a second slider frame, pivotally mounted to the first plate and first slider frame respectively. Each spike actuating assembly contains a spike. The first slider frame is translatable to actuate the spike actuating assemblies to thereby extend and retract the spikes from the spike actuating assemblies. A cyclically alternating positioner is mounted on the first plate for moving the first and second slider frames relative to the first and second plates. The positioner has only a single actuating button adjacent the heel. Depressing the actuating button a first time causes the positioner to move the slider frames to extend the spikes. Depressing the actuating button a second time causes the positioner to move the slider frames to retract the spikes.02-23-2012

20090054801METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS BY MEASURING BIOELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNALS OF THE BRAIN - The present invention provides a method and device for determining depressive disorders or other mental disorders related to similar brain imbalances when the combination of powers of specific frequency bands in quantitative EEG has a certain positive or negative value. The present invention performs a signal-processing task to resting EEG recording, calculates the power of two specific frequency bands, finds the combination of the powers and evaluates the result. The method can be used as quick and easy noninvasive tool for diagnosing depression related problems in different patients as separate algorithm, as a part of an EEG recording and analysis device and as a separate device.02-26-2009

20110084485Control method for a wind turbine - A method of controlling a wind turbine, where a control signal for a controllable parameter of the wind turbine is determined, and the rotor power coefficient, the torque coefficient, and/or a thrust coefficient of the wind turbine are estimated at time intervals. From this is determined a variation parameter reflecting the variation of the estimated rotor power, torque or thrust coefficient over time. The wind turbine is then controlled according to the control signal only if the variation parameter is below an alert threshold, and otherwise according to a modified control strategy. The control signal may have a power or torque reference signal for controlling the rotational speed of the turbine or a blade pitch reference signal. The modified control method may for instance entail stopping or de-rating the wind turbine. A control system configured to perform the above control method, and a wind turbine comprising such system are also disclosed.04-14-2011
