Abstract: A transportation and storage system for a wind turbine rotor blade comprises a tip end frame assembly comprising a tip end receptacle and a tip end frame. The tip end receptacle comprises an upwardly open tip end-receiving space for receiving a portion of the tip end of the blade and having a supporting surface for supporting the blade, a lower surface allowing the tip end receptacle to rest upright on a substantially horizontal surface, such as the ground, and releasable retaining means for releasably retaining the tip end of the blade in the receiving space of the tip end receptacle. The tip end frame comprises an upwardly open receptacle-receiving space for receiving the receptacle and provided with positioning means for positioning the receptacle in the tip end frame. A base part defines a bottom surface allowing the tip end frame to rest upright on the ground.

Abstract: A method of producing a composite shell structure in the form of a wind turbine blade shell part having a reinforced fiber material embedded in a cured resin includes: providing a mold part having a contour defining the outer surface of the composite shell structure; providing a preform forming part shaped complementary to the mold part molding surface; forming a preform of dry fiber material on the surface of the preform forming part; arranging the mold part and the preform forming part in an assembled position with the mold part molding surface facing the preform forming surface; releasing the preform from the preform forming surface so that it is received on the mold part molding surface; removing the preform forming part from the mold part; forming a mold cavity by means of a second mold part arranged on the preform; providing resin in the mold cavity; and curing the resin.

Abstract: A method of producing a composite structure comprising fiber reinforced material and having a longitudinal direction is described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling responses from mobile communication devices in a two-way radio communication system are provided. An infrastructure provides a multicast transmission, for transmission in a first time interval to members of a group of mobile communication devices. The infrastructure assigns a second time interval for at least a subgroup of the members to transmit to the infrastructure with reserved access, and assigns the reserved access timeslots. The infrastructure also assigns a third time interval, for members of the group to transmit to the infrastructure using random access. The second and third time intervals may be separated by other signaling, such as re-transmission by the infrastructure of parts of the multicast transmission. The selection and setting of time intervals may be based on information provided by a transmitter. A mobile communication device is also provided.
