20090102966 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF MOTION AND EDGE ADAPTIVE PROCESSING INCLUDING MOTION COMPENSATION FEATURES - Systems and methods of processing pixel information associated with video image deinterlacing are disclosed. In one exemplary implementation, the method may include performing an edge adaptive interpolation process on a present field so as to determine whether an edge passes through a pixel, wherein the edge adaptive interpolation process provides edge data including a first intensity estimate for the pixel, receiving motion data associated with motion compensation processing, including an estimated motion vector for at least one pixel proximate to the pixel in at least one reference field, determining a second intensity estimate for the pixel as a function of the edge data and the motion data, and performing an intensity-calculation procedure, wherein an interpolated intensity of the pixel is calculated as a function of the first intensity estimate and the second intensity estimate. | 04-23-2009 |
20090259062 | SURFACTANT COMPOSITIONS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD - A composition having a first hydrophobic moiety linked to a spacer, which is linked to a second hydrophobic moiety to form a Gemini surfactant is provided. Each hydrophobic moiety of the foregoing composition may include silicon. A method for linking a first hydrophobic moiety to a second hydrophobic moiety using a spacer to form a Gemini surfactant is provided. A pesticide having an active ingredient and a composition having a first hydrophobic moiety linked to a spacer, which is linked to a second hydrophobic moiety to form a Gemini surfactant is also provided. | 10-15-2009 |
20090277266 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SENSING PARAMETERS OF ROTATING BLADES - A method for monitoring operating parameters of a rotating blade is provided. The blade includes at least one sensor thereon, the sensor operatively coupled to a data acquisition device. The method includes transferring data from the sensor to the data acquisition device, the data relating to blade acceleration measurements, transmitting a signal representative of the transferred data from the data acquisition device to a control system, and controlling blade loads using the transmitted signal. | 11-12-2009 |
20100012343 | BIPV Junction Box - The present invention provides a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) junction box having a housing and a connection assembly disposed within the housing. The housing includes first sidewalls positioned opposite to each other and second sidewalls adjacent and connecting to the two first sidewalls. Additionally, an opening is provided opposite a bottom wall, with the bottom wall connecting the first and second sidewalls. The second sidewalls include extensions that extend beyond a height of the first sidewalls, so that an edge of a solar cell panel is sandwiched between the extensions when the junction box is mounted on the edge of the solar cell panel. The BIPV junction box of the present invention may be applied to the connection of BIPV solar cell modules. | 01-21-2010 |
20100143116 | OPERATING A WIND TURBINE AT MOTOR OVER-TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS - Methods and apparatus for continuing wind turbine operation when normal wind turbine motor control is unavailable due to overheating of one or more wind turbine control motors. Technical effects of the present invention include providing an effective control strategy continuing operation during over-heating of a wind turbine control motor, such as a pitch control motor and a yaw control motor. | 06-10-2010 |
