20120132011METHODS FOR USING SITE SPECIFIC WIND CONDITIONS TO DETERMINE WHEN TO INSTALL A TIP FEATURE ON A WIND TURBINE ROTOR BLADE - A method for utilizing site specific data to determine whether to install a tip feature on a rotor blade of a wind turbine is disclosed. The method generally includes monitoring with a sensor at least one wind condition at a wind turbine site, determining an actual tip deflection threshold for a rotor blade of a wind turbine located at the wind turbine site based on the least one wind condition, comparing the actual tip deflection threshold to a predetermined tip deflection threshold for the rotor blade and determining whether to install a tip feature on the rotor blade based on the comparison between the actual tip deflection threshold and the predetermined tip deflection threshold.05-31-2012
20120134837NOISE REDUCER FOR ROTOR BLADE IN WIND TURBINE - A noise reducer for a rotor blade of a wind turbine and a rotor blade assembly are disclosed. The rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade having exterior surfaces defining a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge and a trailing edge each extending between a tip and a root. The rotor blade further defines a span and a chord. The rotor blade assembly further includes a noise reducer configured on the rotor blade. The noise reducer includes a plurality of rods each having a body extending between a first end and a second end. The body of each of the plurality of rods contacts and extends parallel to the body of a neighboring rod of the plurality of rods when the noise reducer is in a stable position.05-31-2012

20090130311DECORATED ARTICLES - The invention relates to a method for the continuous, single-step application of a decoration to at least one face of articles made from an extruded- or foamed-plastic material. The aforementioned step comprises: (i) the embossing of at least one face of the article, by passing the article under an embossing roller which is equipped with a relief groove; and (ii) the printing of said at least one face of the article with the transfer of an ink from a composite film with transferable ink. The printing step is performed concomitantly with the embossing step with the same embossing roller which is made form an elastic material and which is heated to the surface softening temperature of the plastic article. The invention also relates to a device for decorating extruded- and foamed-plastic articles in a single step, to the articles thus decorated and to the use of the method and the device.05-21-2009

20090325438CAPSULES WITH A MODIFIED SURFACE FOR GRAFTING ONTO FIBRES - The present invention relates to a method of grafting, by covalent bonding, hollow or solid composite capsules onto any type of natural, artificial or synthetic, organic or inorganic, support, the capsules being chemically, physically or physico-chemically modified, so as possibly to improve their affinity with the support and to functionalize them, and then grafted, after the capsules and/or the support have been activated. The invention also relates to the capsules thus modified, to the supports grafted by the capsules, especially fibres and textiles, and also to the use of these grafted supports, especially fibres and textiles, for making up what are called “functional” articles.12-31-2009
20110223242NANOPARTICLES CONTAINING A PEPTIDE, VECTORS CONTAINING SAID NANOPARTICLES, AND PHARMACEUTICAL USES OF SAID NANOPARTICLES AND VECTORS - The invention relates to nanoparticles comprising a matrix containing at least one polysaccharide as well as the peptide P140 having the sequence SEQ ID NO: 1 or an analog thereof, said polysaccharide preferably being a polysaccharide bearing one or more negatively-charged functional groups. The invention also relates to a carrier for oral administration that comprises a carrier including at least one nanoparticle as defined above and either containing or not containing a dispersant.09-15-2011
