Headlamp Assemblies Having Reduced Operating Temperatures
US Patent:
2008003, Feb 14, 2008
Filed:
Aug 14, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/838292
Inventors:
Thomas O. Converse - Lanesborough MA, US
James R. Wilson - Troy MI, US
James R. Wilson - Troy MI, US
International Classification:
B60Q 1/04
US Classification:
362510
Abstract:
A headlamp assembly that utilizes a modified bulb shield and a lower heat deflection temperature plastic material for the construction of one or more components of the headlamp assembly. The components of the headlamp assembly that may be formed from the lower HDT plastic material include the reflector substrate, the housing, or a combination thereof. The modified bulb shield reduces the maximum temperature requirements of headlamp assemblies thereby enabling lower HDT plastic materials to be used in the headlamp assembly. The bulb shields are modified to reflect and/or transmit infrared (IR) energy that, if absorbed (at the bulb shield surface) would lead to localized heating of the headlamp reflector and the requirement that higher HDT plastic materials be used for the reflector substrate and/or housing of the headlamp assembly. The bulb shields may reflect and/or transmit IR energy using a reflective coating, an additive, and/or surface structures.

International Classification:
H02P 9/04
US Classification:
290 44
Abstract:
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.

Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - SCHENECTADY NY
International Classification:
F03D 7/02
US Classification:
416 1, 416 31, 416 61
Abstract:
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.
Lowering And Raising A Single Wind Turbine Rotor Blade From Six-O'clock Position
US Patent:
2010013, Jun 10, 2010
Filed:
Feb 25, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/392353

International Classification:
B23P 15/04, B23P 6/00
US Classification:
29 2351, 298891
Abstract:
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.
