:NA<br />

In one aspect, the present invention provides a two-element ophthalmic lens in which a lateral shift <strong>of</strong> the elements relative to one<br />

another can cause a variation not only in a spherical power provided by the lens but also in spherical aberration exhibited by that lens.<br />

In some implementations, the thickness pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> the two elements are designed such that the variation in spherical aberration is<br />

positively correlated with that <strong>of</strong> the spherical power <strong>of</strong> the lens.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

The present invention generally provides multifocal ophthalmic lenses, e.g., multifocal intraocular lenses, that employ a central<br />

refractive region for providing a refractive focusing power <strong>and</strong> a diffractive region for providing two diffractive focusing powers. In<br />

many cases, the refractive focusing power provided by the lens’s central region corresponds to a far-focusing power that is<br />

substantially equal to one <strong>of</strong> the diffractive focusing powers while the other diffractive power corresponds to a near-focusing power.<br />

As such, in many cases, the focusing properties <strong>of</strong> the lenses are dominated by the far-focus ability, especially for small pupil sizes.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

Embodiments <strong>of</strong> the invention relate for rendering translucent objects. According to some embodiments, the color <strong>of</strong> a pixel <strong>of</strong> a<br />

translucent object that is not directly illuminated by a light source can be determined by decaying the illumination contributed by the<br />

light source according to a predefined decay function. The decay function may be, for example, an exponential decay function. The<br />

decay function may be evaluated based on an initial illumination contributed by the light source, <strong>and</strong> a transmittance distance. In some<br />

embodiments, the initial color <strong>of</strong> the pixel is decayed instead <strong>of</strong> the illumination. Also disclosed is modifying the renderings <strong>of</strong><br />

different regions <strong>of</strong> an object which have been rendered using different methods in order to remove sharp contrasts between these<br />

regions.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

The central venous sensor assembly (1) comprises a catheler body (2) with several proximal ports (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d). The catheler<br />

portion placed in the vena cava superior (4) is equipped with a proximal flux measurement unit (6), <strong>and</strong> the catheter portion placed in<br />

the vena cava inferior (5) is equipped with a distal flux measurement unit (7) A first input channel (8) supplies a measurement signal<br />

indicative <strong>of</strong> a flux vp to the evaluation unit (10) <strong>from</strong> which the latter calculates a blood flow in me vena cava superior (4). Likewise,<br />

a second input channel (9) supplies a measurement signal indicative <strong>of</strong> a flux vp to the evaluation unit (10) <strong>from</strong> which the latter<br />

calculates a blood flow rate in the vena cava inferior (5). Due to continuity, the sum <strong>of</strong> the flow rates in the upper <strong>and</strong> lower central<br />

veins (4, 5) corresponds to the flow rate through the right heart (11) <strong>and</strong> in the pulmonary artery (12) <strong>and</strong> thus to cardiac output.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

A method for improving fuel cell system reliability in the event <strong>of</strong> end cell heater failure in a fuel cell stack. The method includes<br />

detecting that an end cell heater has failed. If an end cell heater failure is detected, then he method performs one or more <strong>of</strong> setting a<br />

cooling fluid pump to a predetermined speed that drives a cooling fluid through cooling fluid flow channels in the fuel cell stack,<br />

limiting the output power <strong>of</strong> the fuel cell stack or the net power <strong>of</strong> one fuel cell system, limiting the maximum temperature <strong>of</strong> the<br />

cooling fluid flowing out <strong>of</strong> the stack, turning <strong>of</strong>f stack anti-flooding algorithms that may be used to remove water <strong>from</strong> reactant gas<br />

flow channels in the stack, <strong>and</strong> turning <strong>of</strong> cathode stoichiometry adjustments for relative humidity control in response to water<br />

accumulating in cathode flow channels in the fuel cell stack.<br />

A system for bleeding the anode side <strong>of</strong> first <strong>and</strong> second split fuel cell stacks in a fuel cell system that employs anode flow-shifting,<br />

where each split stack includes a bleed valve. The system determines that one or both <strong>of</strong> the bleed valves is stuck in an open position if<br />

there is flow through an orifice <strong>and</strong> a bleed has not been comm<strong>and</strong>ed. A shut-<strong>of</strong>f valve is then used to provide the bleed if the cathode<br />

exhaust gas is able to dilute the hydrogen in the bled anode exhaust gas. An outlet valve between the first <strong>and</strong> second split stacks is<br />

used to bleed the anode exhaust gas if the cathode exhaust gas is not significant enough to dilute the hydrogen in the anode exhaust<br />

gas. If the first or second bleed valve is stuck in the closed position, then the outlet valve is used to provide the bleed.<br />

A starting system is provided for delivering pressurized fuel to an engine to start the engine without a starter. The starting system<br />

includes an accumulator for storing pressurized fuel during engine operation <strong>and</strong> engine shut-down. During engine start-up, the<br />

accumulator delivers the stored pressurized fuel to the engine to start the engine. The accumulator is in fluid communication with a<br />

low pressure fuel reservoir <strong>and</strong> the engine. The accumulator includes an accumulator housing defining an accumulator cavity <strong>and</strong><br />

including an accumulator piston <strong>and</strong> spring assembly, which is moveable longitudinally within the accumulator cavity. An electronic<br />

control module (ECM) is in electronic control with the starting system <strong>and</strong> the engine. The ECM is operable to activate the<br />

accumulator, forcing pressurized fuel stored within the accumulator into a high-pressure fuel line for injection into the engine, to<br />

generate at least one starting combustion event to start the engine without a starter.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

An engine cylinder head has an exhaust manifold cast in the cylinder head. A turbocharger with a turbine body is adapted to mount<br />

directly to an exhaust outlet mounting face <strong>of</strong> the exhaust manifold. A dual level water jacket within the cylinder head has separate<br />

coolant feeds for upper <strong>and</strong> lower cooling jackets. The cooling jackets extend above <strong>and</strong> below the exhaust outlet <strong>and</strong> are connected<br />

inward <strong>of</strong> the exhaust mounting face to reduce metal temperatures <strong>of</strong> the mounting face below those <strong>of</strong> the turbocharger exhaust inlet<br />

flange. Separate cores for the upper <strong>and</strong> lower jackets are connected at coolant inlet <strong>and</strong> outlet locations at opposite ends. Intermediate<br />

core print connectors form controlled flow passages between the upper <strong>and</strong> lower jackets <strong>and</strong> exhaust ports in the cylinder head <strong>and</strong><br />

integrated manifold. The improved cooling in these areas lowers operating temperatures in the cylinder head <strong>and</strong> obviates the need for<br />

a separate exhaust manifold.<br />

An electrically-variable transmission is provided with first <strong>and</strong> second motor/generators <strong>and</strong> three planetary gear assemblies. At least<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the planetary gear assemblies is a planetary gear assembly having multiple planetary gear sets. As a result, the gears for the<br />

planetary gear assembly can be represented on multiple radial planes. Each <strong>of</strong> the planetary gear assemblies has continuous<br />

interconnections, <strong>and</strong> selective connections via a plurality <strong>of</strong> torque-transmitting mechanisms, that provide three forward electricallyvariable<br />

modes. Preferably, the planetary gear assemblies are connected to one another in such a manner as to allow shifting between<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the electrically-variable modes to occur at a point <strong>of</strong>fset <strong>from</strong> a mechanical power flow <strong>of</strong> the transmission. This decreases the<br />

maximum power output required <strong>from</strong> the motor/generators.<br />

A vehicle includes an engine, a controller for turning <strong>of</strong>f the engine when the vehicle is idle, a motor/generator for starting the engine,<br />

an inverter for converting a DC auxiliary voltage <strong>from</strong> a battery into an AC voltage for powering the motor/generator, <strong>and</strong> a device for<br />

isolating a DC voltage <strong>from</strong> the DC auxiliary voltage to prevent voltage sag in a vehicle system during engine starting. The device<br />

includes a transformer, a rectifier/regulator, <strong>and</strong> an isolator. A mechanical relay opens, or an FET is activated, to isolate the DC<br />

voltage during engine start. A method for preventing voltage sag in an auxiliary vehicle system includes detecting a comm<strong>and</strong>ed<br />

engine start, comparing a measured auxiliary voltage to a threshold, isolating a predetermined DC voltage <strong>from</strong> a DC auxiliary voltage<br />

when the measured auxiliary voltage is less than the threshold, <strong>and</strong> powering the auxiliary vehicle system using the isolated DC<br />

voltage.<br />

A tinted color value is produced for a surface <strong>of</strong> an object in a computer generated scene. The surface is illuminated by a light source<br />

having a lighting color value associated with the light source. A first reflected color value is calculated for the surface. The first<br />

reflected color value is calculated based on an assumption that the surface is illuminated by while light rather than the lighting color<br />

value associated with the light source. A desaturated color value is computed using the first reflected color value. A tinted color value<br />

is computed by combining the desaturated color value with the lighting color value associated with the light source. The tinted color<br />

value is stored.<br />

A vehicle driveline includes a hybrid transmission, having a mass damper that provides noise <strong>and</strong> vibration damping over a broad<br />

range <strong>of</strong> frequencies. The damper provides damping at a desired frequency <strong>and</strong> all greater frequencies to act as a low pass filter for<br />

noise <strong>and</strong> vibration. A specific mass <strong>and</strong> inertia for the damper are selected to target the desired frequency range. Due to the hybrid<br />

design <strong>of</strong> the transmission the energy that is used to rotate the damper <strong>and</strong> provide the desired inertia is recovered by at least one<br />

motor/generator within the transmission during deceleration <strong>of</strong> the vehicle.<br />

are determined by defining minimum input speeds for each potential transmission operating range state, <strong>and</strong> ascribing biasing costs to<br />

potential transmission input speeds which are slower than the minimum input speeds defined for each potential transmission operating<br />

range state. A single transmission input speed is selected <strong>and</strong> preferability factors are determined, which are preferentially weighted to<br />

enable selective comm<strong>and</strong>ment <strong>of</strong> changes in the transmission operating range state <strong>and</strong> engine state.<br />

An internal combustion engine is mechanically coupled to a hybrid transmission to transmit mechanical power to an output member.<br />

A method for controlling the internal combustion engine includes determining an accelerator output torque request based upon an<br />

operator input to the accelerator pedal, <strong>and</strong> determining an axle torque response type. A preferred input torque <strong>from</strong> the engine to the<br />

hybrid transmission is determined based upon the accelerator output torque request. An allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torque <strong>from</strong> the<br />

engine which can be reacted with the hybrid transmission is determined based upon the accelerator output torque request <strong>and</strong> the axle<br />

torque response type. The engine is controlled to meet the preferred input torque when the preferred input torque is within the<br />

allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torque <strong>from</strong> the engine. The engine is controlled within the allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torque <strong>from</strong> the engine<br />

when the preferred input torque is outside the allowable range <strong>of</strong> input torques <strong>from</strong> the engine.<br />

combustion engine <strong>and</strong> the electro-mechanical transmission to meet the operator torque request for each engine operating point within<br />

each <strong>of</strong> the subregions, <strong>and</strong> iteratively identifying the subregion having a minimum operating cost to meet the operator torque request.<br />

A preferred engine operating point is determined based upon the engine operating point within the identified subregion having the<br />

minimum operating cost to meet the operator torque request.<br />

A hybrid power system for a vehicle includes an engine, an input shaft, an output shaft, a transmission mechanism, a primary electric<br />

motor, a secondary electric motor, a power coupling mechanism, a driving wheel, a battery, <strong>and</strong> a controller. The primary electric<br />

motor is pivotally coupled to the crankshaft <strong>of</strong> the engine, <strong>and</strong> the secondary electric motor to the input shaft. The controller can<br />

govern, selectively, the secondary electric motor to drive the driving wheel for rotation; <strong>and</strong>/or the primary electric motor drives the<br />

crankshaft for rotation <strong>and</strong> then starts the engine so as to output power to drive the driving wheel for rotation. Therefore, the primary<br />

electric motor can start the engine directly, <strong>and</strong> depending on the vehicle’s traveling condition, the controller can govern the timing for<br />

the secondary electric motor <strong>and</strong> the engine to drive the driving wheel directly through the transmission system so as to transmit the<br />

power to the driving wheel, such that the vehicle can be ridden in a status <strong>of</strong> optimal energy-consumption rate.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

A catheter enables real-time light measurements, for example, without limitation, diffuse reflectance, fluorescence, etc., <strong>from</strong><br />

biological materials, such as tissue (including blood), while performing RF ablation. The catheter tip design isolates illumination <strong>and</strong><br />

collection paths such that light exits the catheter tip <strong>and</strong> travels through the tissue <strong>of</strong> interest (e.g., cardiac tissue or blood) before<br />

returning to the catheter tip. Such a design advantageously avoids saturation <strong>of</strong> the optical detector, <strong>and</strong> ensures diffusion <strong>of</strong> the<br />

illumination light within the medium <strong>of</strong> interest. The catheter has a catheter body <strong>and</strong> a tip electrode. The tip electrode has an exterior<br />

shell, an inner layer <strong>of</strong> diffuse material <strong>and</strong> a hollow cavity, wherein the inner layer is configured to transmit light outside the tip<br />

electrode to a tissue via a set <strong>of</strong> illumination openings in the shell wall <strong>and</strong> the hollow cavity is configured to receive light <strong>from</strong> the<br />

tissue via a set <strong>of</strong> collection openings in the shell wall <strong>and</strong> the inner layer. An inner surface <strong>of</strong> the inner layer has an opaque coating to<br />

isolate light injected into the inner layer <strong>from</strong> light collected in the hollow cavity. There are a first optical waveguide extending<br />

between the catheter body <strong>and</strong> the tip electrode to inject light into the inner layer <strong>and</strong> illuminate the tissue, <strong>and</strong> a second optical<br />

waveguide extending between the catheter body <strong>and</strong> the tip electrode to collect the recaptured light in the hollow cavity.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

A control arrangement for power transmission includes a gearshift mechanism, a pressure-plate clutch, a centrifugal clutch, a<br />

transmission shaft, a coupling mechanism, <strong>and</strong> a power driver. The coupling mechanism can couple, selectively, to the power driver<br />

<strong>and</strong> the transmission shaft, so that the power driver can be employed for a gearshift; or not to couple to the power driver <strong>and</strong> the<br />

transmission shaft, so that the manipulating lever can be employed for the gearshift. Either the power driver or the manipulating lever<br />

can be employed to achieve the gearshift so as to improve convenience <strong>and</strong> mobility <strong>of</strong> manipulation <strong>of</strong> the gearshift, <strong>and</strong> to prevent<br />

the disadvantage that in case the power driver fails the gearshift would not be able to be manipulated.<br />

The invention is a damper <strong>and</strong> a method for protecting buildings <strong>and</strong> similar structural systems <strong>from</strong> dynamic loading such as loading<br />

caused by earthquakes, strong winds or machine vibrations. More specifically, the damper is made <strong>from</strong> structural members being<br />

interconnected in frictional or visco-elastically dampened rotational joints. Due to the dampening <strong>of</strong> the joints, relative movement<br />

between the structural elements is dampened. In <strong>part</strong>icular, the damper is useful for base isolation, e.g. in order to allow a building or a<br />

machine to move in a dampened movement relative to its foundation or in order to allow a cable stay <strong>of</strong> a cable stay bridge to move in<br />

a dampened movement relative its fixation point on the bridge.<br />

to the introduction <strong>of</strong> the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents <strong>and</strong>/or compounds may be<br />

utilized to promote healing, including the prevention <strong>of</strong> thrombosis. The drugs, agents, <strong>and</strong>/or compounds may also be utilized to treat<br />

specific disorders, including vulnerable<br />

plaque. Therapeutic agents may also be delivered to the region <strong>of</strong> a disease site. In regional delivery, liquid formulations may be<br />

desirable to increase the efficacy <strong>and</strong> deliverability <strong>of</strong> the <strong>part</strong>icular drug. Also, the devices may be modified to promote<br />

endothelialization. Various materials <strong>and</strong> coating methodologies may be utilized to maintain the agents or compounds on the medical<br />

device until delivered <strong>and</strong> positioned. In addition, the devices utilized to deliver the implantable medical devices may be modified to<br />

reduce the potential for damaging the implantable medical device during deployment. Medical devices include stents, grafts,<br />

anastomotic devices, perivascular wraps, sutures <strong>and</strong> staples. In addition, various polymer combinations may be utilized to control the<br />

A range selection control system for a transmission facilitates safe operation <strong>of</strong> a power take <strong>of</strong>f. A fluid actuated range piston<br />

assembly within a range cylinder moves between low range <strong>and</strong> high range positions. Range cylinder <strong>and</strong> range piston assembly<br />

define sealed high range <strong>and</strong> low range chambers. A neutral cylinder intersects range cylinder. A fluid actuated neutral piston<br />

assembly within neutral cylinder defines a neutral chamber. Neutral piston assembly engages range control piston assembly<br />

responsive to pressurization <strong>of</strong> neutral chamber. Neutral piston assembly is received by an engagement feature <strong>of</strong> range piston<br />

assembly when range control piston assembly is in a neutral position, retaining range piston assembly there. An electrically responsive<br />

locking mechanism locks neutral piston assembly in place when range piston assembly is in the neutral position. The locking is<br />

controlled by a condition <strong>of</strong> an electrical switch indicating a transmission condition.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

A shift fork actuation system includes an actuator housing defining a piston cavity <strong>and</strong> a piston assembly having three pistons with<br />

three different surface areas responsive to fluid pressure to establish positions <strong>of</strong> the piston assembly within the piston cavity. A<br />

stopping mechanism, such as a shoulder formed by the actuator housing at the interface <strong>of</strong> different bores in the piston cavity,<br />

interferes with one <strong>of</strong> the surface areas to prevent movement <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the pistons past the stopping mechanism. A neutral position <strong>of</strong> a<br />

shift fork is established by interference <strong>of</strong> the piston assembly with the stopping mechanism. A slot in the piston assembly captures a<br />

finger extension <strong>from</strong> the shift rail to act as an anti-rotation feature, ensuring that a magnet embedded in the piston assembly as <strong>part</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

a sensor assembly is properly positioned.<br />

The yarn (F) is unwound <strong>from</strong> a yarn-storing drum (12) <strong>and</strong> is fed to a textile machine. A weft-braking device (18) is integral with a<br />

slide (22) movable along a direction parallel to the axis <strong>of</strong> the drum (12), <strong>and</strong> is provided with a hollow braking member (32) having a<br />

circular pr<strong>of</strong>ile, which is coaxially biased, with its inner surface, against the delivery edge <strong>of</strong> the drum (12) by actuator means (20, 21)<br />

to brake the unwinding yarn. A yarn tension sensor (38) generates a measured tension signal (Tm) indicative <strong>of</strong> the tension <strong>of</strong> the yarn<br />

delivered <strong>from</strong> the drum. A control unit (CU) is programmed to compare the measured tension signal (Tm) with a reference tension<br />

signal (Tr) <strong>and</strong> to drive the actuator means (20, 21) in such a way as to minimize the difference between the measured tension <strong>and</strong> the<br />

reference tension. The control unit (CU) is programmed to generate a poor braking signal (Sib, Sib’) when the reference tension (Tr) is<br />

higher then the maximum tension avaliable with said actuator means at a stroke-end position, <strong>and</strong> an excessive braking signal (Seb,<br />

Seb’) when the reference tension (Tr) is lower then the minimum tension avaliable with said actuator means at a stroke-end position.<br />

Means for correcting the position (VD, M) <strong>of</strong> said slide (22, 23) are enabled by the poor braking signal (Sib, Sib") <strong>and</strong> the excessive<br />

braking signal (Seb, Seb’).<br />

Methods for making comb-type antithrombotic conjugate wherein substantially all side chains <strong>of</strong> water soluble poly(vinyl alcohol)<br />

(PVA) are extended by ring-opening polymerization to form a copolymer wherein substantially all terminals are conjugated to an<br />

antithrombotic molecule. In addition, a method is provided for applying a coating comprising a comb-type antithrombotic conjugate to<br />

at least a portion <strong>of</strong> an implantable device to prevent or reduce the formation <strong>of</strong> thrombosis on the surface <strong>of</strong> the device. A first or sublayer<br />

<strong>of</strong> the coating is prepared by mixing a polymeric material <strong>and</strong> a biologically active agent with a solvent, thereby forming a<br />

homogeneous solution. A second or outer layer comprising a comb-type antithrombotic conjugate may be applied over the inner drugcontaining<br />

layers using, for example, a dip coating or spray coating process. Alternatively the comb-type antithrombotic conjugate<br />

may be used as a matrix material to encapsulate a pharmaceutical agent to form microspheres or nanospheres before depositing the<br />

microspheres or nanospheres onto a medical device.<br />

undesirable <strong>part</strong>icles is effected by optoelectronic means, the fibre material can be detected by a recognition device <strong>and</strong> the<br />

measurement results can be supplied to an image-processing device. In order substantially to improve evaluation <strong>of</strong> the measurement<br />

<strong>of</strong> the undesirable <strong>part</strong>icles, there is a combing-out element for at least one fibre sliver, with which a fibre tuft having open ends in the<br />

working direction <strong>and</strong> a fibre tuft having open ends opposite to the working direction can be produced <strong>and</strong> the measured values <strong>of</strong> the<br />

undesirable <strong>part</strong>icles obtained at both fibre tufts can be supplied to a comparison device <strong>and</strong> the comparison values can be used for<br />

optimising setting parameters <strong>and</strong>/or structural elements <strong>of</strong> the spinning preparation machines.<br />

(57) Abstract :<br />

A method <strong>and</strong> apparatus effectively bypasses flue gas through or around selected boiler convection heat transfer tube banks within a<br />

new or existing boiler flue. Heat transfer tubes are removed, or omitted in the design <strong>of</strong> a new boiler flue, forming one or more voids<br />

at one or more locations within the tube banks. A bypass flue or conduit is formed within each void, for example using steel plates,<br />

along with existing flue walls, or using an integral sleeve. A wall <strong>of</strong> the bypass flue may include water or steam-cooled tubes.<br />

Dampers may be installed at either end <strong>of</strong> or within the bypass flue to control the amount <strong>of</strong> flue gas directed through each bypass<br />

flue.<br />

A method for controlling a transmission in a motor vehicle includes determining a temperature <strong>of</strong> a fluid in the transmission,<br />

determining whether the torque converter lockup clutch is applied, <strong>and</strong> determining an engine torque <strong>of</strong> the motor vehicle. Then, the<br />

torque converter lockup clutch is applied <strong>and</strong> the transmission is prohibited <strong>from</strong> up-shifting if the temperature <strong>of</strong> the fluid exceeds a<br />

threshold, the torque converter lockup clutch is not applied, <strong>and</strong> the engine torque exceeds a second threshold. Next, a tractive effort<br />

<strong>of</strong> the motor vehicle is determined <strong>and</strong> the torque converter lockup clutch is deactivated when the temperature <strong>of</strong> the fluid is less than<br />

a third threshold, the tractive effort is less than a fourth threshold, or the engine torque is less than the second threshold.<br />

Skin-attached features are placed on a computer generated character by defining a set <strong>of</strong> placement points on at least a portion <strong>of</strong> a<br />

skin surface <strong>of</strong> the computer generated character. For each placement point, a radius is defined for the placement point. For each<br />

placement point, a density value is determined for the placement point. The density value is a sum <strong>of</strong> weighted overlaps with<br />

neighboring placement points within the radius <strong>of</strong> the placement point. The weighted overlaps are functions <strong>of</strong> the radius <strong>of</strong> the<br />

placement point. The number <strong>of</strong> placement points in the set <strong>of</strong> placement points is reduced based on the density values.<br />

A control method for controlling load reduction for a wind turbine rotor (3) with rotor blades (5, 7, 9) comprising at least one<br />

aerodynamic active element responsive to a control signal for modifying its setting is provided. The method comprises the steps <strong>of</strong> -<br />

detecting the loads acting on the rotor blades (5, 7, 9) in relation to the rotor’s azimuth; - establishing individual control signals for<br />

modifying the settings <strong>of</strong> the aerodynamic active elements <strong>of</strong> the rotor blades (5, 7, 9) wherein each individual control signal is a<br />

complex number containing an amplitude defining the degree <strong>of</strong> modification <strong>of</strong> the respective setting <strong>and</strong> an angle defining the phase<br />

<strong>of</strong> the modification <strong>of</strong> the respective setting with respect to the rotor’s azimuth, <strong>and</strong> wherein the angle <strong>of</strong> the complex number is<br />

corrected by a phase correction factor; <strong>and</strong> - providing the aerodynamic active elements with the individual control signals. The<br />

individual control signals are established based on a PI control system (47); - the input to the Pi-control system (47) is a complex load<br />

vector; - the number <strong>of</strong> complex vector components <strong>of</strong> the complex load vector corresponds to the number <strong>of</strong> rotor blades (5, 7, 9); -<br />

the amplitude <strong>of</strong> a vector component defines the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the load acting on the respective blade (5, 7, 9) <strong>and</strong> the angle <strong>of</strong> this<br />

vector component defines the phase <strong>of</strong> the load with respect to the rotor’s (3) azimuth; <strong>and</strong> - the load vector is multiplied with the<br />

phase correction factor before it is input to the Pi-control system (47).<br />
