| 20110143246 | SATURATED VAPOR BLOCK FOR FROZEN FUEL CELL POWER PLANT - A fuel cell power plant includes a cell stack assembly having an anode and a cathode. A component is arranged in fluid connection with at least one of the anode and cathode. The component has a first shut-down cooling rate. A heat exchanger is arranged in fluid communication with and between the component and one of the anode and cathode. The heat exchanger has a second shut-down cooling rate greater than the first shut-down cooling rate. Water vapor within the fuel cell power plant outside of the cell stack assembly will condense and freeze in the heat exchanger rather than the component, avoiding malfunction of the component upon start-up in below freezing environments. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20110135466 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING AND CONTROLLING WIND TURBINE BLADE DEFLECTION - A system is disclosed for monitoring and controlling the deflection of turbine blades of a wind turbine. The system includes a passive position detecting apparatus and a controller. The passive position detecting apparatus may be configured to acquire and transmit data relating directly to a position of at least one of the turbine blades. The controller may be configured to receive the data from the passive position detecting apparatus and compare such data to a known position reference to determine turbine blade deflection. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20100139062 | LOWERING AND RAISING A SINGLE WIND TURBINE ROTOR BLADE FROM SIX-O'CLOCK POSITION - A method and lifting arrangement for lowering and raising a single rotor blade of a wind turbine from a six-o'clock position is provided. Lifting fixtures are symmetrically installed on a hub surface about the rotor blade being replaced. Lifting lines from coordinated ground winches pass over the lifting fixtures to support the blade and attach to a blade harness. The blade harness attaches over a substantial length of the rotor blade, distributing the blade weight broadly. A tail pick crane facilitates transfer of the rotor blade between a vertical and a horizontal position stored position. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20110140431 | WIND TURBINE FARM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING AT LEAST ONE WIND TURBINE - A method of controlling a wind turbine that includes at least one rotor shaft and at least one blade operatively coupled to the rotor shaft includes measuring a first wind turbine operational condition that is representative of a blade deflection value and generating a first operational condition signal based on that first wind turbine operational condition. The wind turbine also includes a drive train including at least one rotor shaft and an electric generator. The method also includes measuring at least one second wind turbine operational condition and generating at least one second operational condition signal. The method further includes changing the blade deflection value by changing the second operational condition. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20090094019 | Efficiently Representing Word Sense Probabilities - Word sense probabilities are compressed for storage in a semantic index. Each word sense for a word is mapped to one of a number of “buckets” by assigning a bucket score to the word sense. A scoring function is utilized to assign the bucket scores that maximizes the entropy of the assigned bucket scores. Once the bucket scores have been assigned to the word senses, the bucket scores are stored in the semantic index. The bucket scores stored in the semantic index may be utilized to prune one or more of the word senses prior to construction of the semantic index. The bucket scores may also be utilized to prune and rank the word senses at the time a query is performed using the semantic index. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20090013033 | Identifying excessively reciprocal links among web entities - A method for identifying reciprocal links is provided. At a particular host, the set of hosts which link to the particular host and the set of hosts to which the particular host links are determined. The intersection and union of the two sets of hosts are also determined, and the sizes of the intersection and union are calculated. The concentration of reciprocal links at the particular host is calculated based on the sizes of the intersection and union. A ratio of the intersection size to the union size is used to determine the concentration of reciprocal links. The particular host's rank in a list of ranked search results may be changed as a result of identification of a high concentration of reciprocal links. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090043749 | EXTRACTING QUERY INTENT FROM QUERY LOGS - Techniques are provided for storing queries received by a search engine are in a query log. For a particular query term in the query, it is determined how many queries in the query log contain that particular query term and an intent-indicating term, and determined how many queries in the query log contain that particular query term without an intent-indicating term. Based on the ratio between the number of queries in the query log that contain the particular query term and the intent-indicating term and the number of queries in the query log that contain the particular query term without the intent-indicating term, it is determined whether the particular query term is an intent-qualified query term. In response to determining that the particular query term is an intent-qualified query term, data is stored in a computer-readable medium that identifies the query term as an intent-qualified query term. Implicit-intent queries that contain the intent-qualified query term are processed based, at least in part, on the intent associated with the intent-qualified query term. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20110282651 | GENERATING SNIPPETS BASED ON CONTENT FEATURES - Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitate generation of snippets. In embodiments, text features within a keyword-sentence window are identified. The text features are utilized to determine break features that indicate favorability of breaking at a particular location of the keyword-sentence window. The break features are used to recognize features of partial snippets such that a snippet score to indicate the strength of the partial snippet can be calculated. Snippet scores associated with partial snippets are compared to select an optimal snippet, that is, the snippet having the highest snippet score. | 11-17-2011 |
