| 20080257735 | Microfluidic Device for Enabling the Controlled Growth of Cells and Methods Relating to Same - A multi-compartment microfluidic device for enabling fluidic isolation among interconnected compartments and accomplishing centrifugal positioning and/or patterned substrate positioning of biological specimens. Includes micropatterned substrate coupled with optically transparent housing allowing imaging. Housing includes microfluidic region having entry reservoir for accepting first volume of fluid and additional microfluidic region(s) having a second entry reservoir for accepting second volume of fluid less than first volume of fluid to create hydrostatic pressure. A barrier region that couples the microfluidic region with the second microfluidic region enables biological specimen(s) to extend across the microfluidic, barrier region and second microfluidic region. The barrier region includes embedded microgroove(s) having width and height enabling second volume of fluid to be fluidically isolated from first volume of fluid via hydrostatic pressure maintained via the embedded microgroove(s). Cells are aligned to a chosen location using a centrifuge or patterned substrate techniques. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20100114397 | INTEGRATED REAL-TIME POWER AND SOLAR FARM CONTROL SYSTEM - Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems and methods for controlling power in renewable solar energy sources. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for controlling a renewable energy solar farm, where the farm may include one or more renewable energy sources. The method may include measuring aggregate energy output of the renewable energy solar farm and measuring individual source energy output of the one or more renewable energy sources. The method may also include controlling energy production from the one or more renewable energy sources via a controller based at least in part on the measured aggregate energy output and the measured individual source energy output, where the controller facilitates communications with the one or more renewable energy sources. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20110211200 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING A CONDITION OF A ROTOR BLADE FOR A WIND TURBINE - A rotor blade monitoring system for use with a wind turbine. The wind turbine includes at least one rotor blade. The rotor blade includes a sidewall that extends between a root portion and a tip portion. The rotor blade monitoring system includes a fiber optic strand that is coupled to the rotor blade sidewall. The fiber optic strand has a length that extends from the root portion towards the tip portion. A plurality of sensors are coupled to the fiber optic strand. Each sensor of the plurality of sensors is axially spaced along the fiber optic strand and is configured to transmit a signal indicative of a position of a respective portion of the rotor blade. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110213590 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A WIND TURBINE - The Disclosure relates to a method for operating a wind turbine comprising: (a) monitoring a wind turbine including: receiving at least one value of at least one sensor and comparing the at least one value with at least one reference; and, determining depending on the comparison between the at least one value with at least one reference whether a malfunction of the wind turbine is present; (b) determining the cause of the malfunction of the wind turbine depending on at least one of: the sensor type of the at least one sensor or the at least one measured value, wherein the cause determination includes: automatically creating a first list comprising at least one possible cause of the malfunction depending on at least one of the sensor type of the at least one sensor or the at least one measured value; and automatically creating a second list comprising a sequence of at least two steps, wherein a first step of the second list is based on the a cause selected from the first list and a second step of the second list is automatically determined based on a result of the first step. | 09-01-2011 |
