20110054647 | NETWORK SERVICE FOR AN AUDIO INTERFACE UNIT - Techniques for providing network services at an audio interface unit includes receiving first data and second data. The first data indicates a first set of one or more contents for presentation to a user. The second data indicates a second set of zero or more contents for presentation to the user. An audio stream is generated based on the first data and the second data. Presentation is initiated of the audio stream at a speaker in an audio device of the user. | 03-03-2011 |
20110054907 | AUDIO INTERFACE UNIT FOR SUPPORTING NETWORK SERVICES - Techniques for providing network services at an audio interface unit include determining, based on spoken sounds of a user of an apparatus received at a microphone of the apparatus, whether to present audio data received from a different apparatus. If it is determined to present the received audio data, then presentation of the received audio data at a speaker of the apparatus is initiated. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a data communications bus; and logic encoded in one or more tangible media configured to performs the above steps. In some embodiments, the apparatus does not include a visual display and does not include a keypad of multiple buttons. | 03-03-2011 |

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 |
20110142594 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING OPERATION OF A WIND TURBINE - A method for monitoring wear of a blade pitch brake within a rotor blade pitch control system of a wind turbine is described. The rotor blade pitch control system includes a blade pitch actuator. The method includes engaging the blade pitch brake and measuring a blade pitch displacement while the blade pitch brake is engaged. The method further includes determining a brake wear level based on the measured blade pitch displacement while the blade pitch brake is engaged, and generating a brake wear level output signal corresponding to the brake wear level. | 06-16-2011 |
20140054476 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING LOAD-RELATED PARAMETERS OF A WIND TURBINE ROTOR BLADE - In one aspect, a system for monitoring load-related parameters of a rotor blade of a wind turbine is disclosed. The system may generally include a plurality of reflective targets positioned within the rotor blade. Each reflective target may include a unique visual identifier. In addition, the system may include a light source configured to illuminate the reflective targets and a sensor configured to detect light reflected from the reflective targets. | 02-27-2014 |
