==Brief History of Wind Energy==
+
*The report captures the IP activity along with the key players in the smart drug delivery system industry.
Although the use of wind power started around 5000 BC, but electric power generation through wind energy started in 18th century and increasing drastically in 19th and 20th centuries. A brief view on developments on wind power sector are listed below.
+
*The report also captures the distribution of patents across the world.
[[Image:totalcapacityworld2009.JPEG|thumb|right|400px|Fig 1 '''[http://www.wwindea.org/home/index.php Development of wind power worldwide]''']]
+
*The IP information, competitor activity and the technology classification are also included.
* [http://www.brighthub.com/environment/renewable-energy/articles/71440.aspx 1887]        :  Prof. James Blyth of Scotland used windmills for generating electricity.
+
*Prior art problems and their respective solutions given in different patents are captured in addition to the taxonomy nodes(technology breakdown classification).
* [http://www.brighthub.com/environment/renewable-energy/articles/71440.aspx 1888]      :  Charles Brush developed the first wind-powered turbine that generated electricity in the United States based on emulated James Blyth work.
+
*Product to patent mapping is done for seven products.  
* [http://www.brighthub.com/environment/renewable-energy/articles/71440.aspx 1927]      :  Joe Jacobs and Marcellus Jacobs improved the wind turbine generator for use in farms.
+
* [http://www.brighthub.com/environment/renewable-energy/articles/71440.aspx 1931] : development of Darrieus wind turbine. It is a vertical axis turbine that rotates with wind from any direction.
+
* 1941: Largest mega watt range wind turbine was connected to the local electrical distribution system on the mountain known as Grandpa's Knob in Castleton, Vermont, USA.
+
* 1971: Denmark installed the first offshore wind farms
+
* 1990s: More than 2200 MW capacity of wind turbines are installed in california.
+
* 2003: the largest offshore wind farm North Hoyle  was built in the United Kingdom.
+
* 2003-2010: Research is going is on wind turbines in blades structures, generators, operation and protection, efficiency of wind turbines.

==Working Principle of Wind Turbine ==
+
==Introduction==
Wind is air in motion. It is a form of solar energy. Solar radiation heats every part of the Earth’s surface unevenly due to irregularities and rotation of earth. The flow of wind patterns are modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water, and vegetative cover. When air moves, causing wind, it has kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of wind can be captured by a wind turbine and converted to other forms of energy such as electricity or mechanical power.
+
*The smart miniature drug delivery system is used for delivering drugs to the host. Biological information detected by biological sensors is analyzed and the drug delivery system is actuated to deliver the drug based on the information.
 +
*The system utilizes MEMS or NEMS technology based drug pumps, micro-pumps, micro-needles, micro-osmotic pumps,and nano-pumps.
 +
*MEMS based drug delivery systems provide enhanced drug therapy which allows accurate dosing with more efficacy and effectiveness. The application of MEMS for drug delivery through biocapsules, microneedles, and micropumps offers a less invasive drug therapy and improves the quality of life of the patients.
 +
*It also includes sensors or communication systems to activate or control the pumps.

All grid-connected commercial wind turbines today are built with a horizontal axis type rotor which is installed on top of a tower. Most horizontal axis turbines built today are two- or three-bladed, although some have fewer or more blades. The purpose of the rotor is to convert the linear motion of the wind into rotational energy that can be used to drive a generator. Most of the systems have a gearbox, which turns the slow rotation of the blades into a quicker rotation that is more suitable to drive an electrical generator.

 +
|The implantable medical devices are not "intelligent"but they are simple deterministic systems; They are also single function devices focused on a specific narrow medical problem and do not combine diagnostic and therapeutic functionality; The devices are not useful in personalized medicine, which require complex analysis and targeting of individual therapies to unique problem sets.

|The iMD system diagnoses neurological, cardiovascular, immune, endocrine and cancer pathologies and develops and applies solution options in real time to each of these subsystems or to all of them simultaneously. The system uses a combination of diagnostic and therapeutic modules in multiple iMDs in a network to identify and apply remedies to pathologies. The iMD system uses a variety of therapeutic modalities, including gene, RNAi and protein therapies, to solve complex medical problems.

=Wind Turbine Control Systems=
 
As the wind turbines increases in size and power, control systems plays a major role to operate wind turbines in safe region and also to improve efficiency and quality of power conversion. The main objectives of wind turbine control systems is
 
*''Energy capture'' : Operating the wind turbine to extract maximum amount of energy considering safe restrictions like rated power, rated speed, cut-out wind speed etc.,
 
* ''Mechanical loads'': protecting the systems from transient loads.
 
* ''Power quality'': Conditioning the generated power with grid interconnection standards.
 
The various control techniques used in wind turbines are shown in table below

|Stall control works by increasing the angle at which the relative wind strikes the blades (angle of attack). As the wind speed increases drag force on the blade increase and lift force gets reduces, thus finally reduces the speed of turbine.A fully stalled turbine blade, when stopped, has the flat side of the blade facing directly into the wind. Compare with furling.

|As the aerodynamic torque control changes, rotor speed changes. it changes the output power frequency. A frequency converter is connected in between generator and the network to maintain generator power constant.
