Abstract: A bolt connection of a tower for a wind turbine is provided, the bolt connection including a tower base module with a tower flange, wherein the tower flange forms the bottom end of the tower, a base flange for connecting the tower base module with a foundation, wherein the base flange includes a traverse bore, and a bolt which extends through the traverse bore of the base flange, wherein the bolt includes a bolt head which is arranged at the bottom side of the base flange facing the foundation. The bolt connection further includes a clamping element which at least partially covers the bolt head. The clamping element presses the bolt head against the bottom side of the base flange.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a composition comprising a lipidaceous carrier and a peptide complex formed from poly-L-lysine or a salt thereof; and either poly-L-glutamic acid or poly-L-aspartic acid, or a salt thereof. The composition can be used to prevent or treat a disease related to pulmonary surfactant dysfunction, such as hyaline membrane disease (HMD), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), hydrocarbon poisoning, near-drowning, HIV/AIDS-related lung diseases, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI), asthma, tuberculosis (TB) or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Alternatively, the composition can be used to increase the permeability of a pharmaceutical compound or composition across a membrane of a subject or to act as a carrier. The poly-L-lysine or salt thereof is longer than the poly-L-glutamic acid or poly-L-aspartic acid so that the complex that forms has a charge-neutralized region and a positively-charged region.

Abstract: An arrangement to position a part of the tower of a wind turbine to be used during the installation of the tower, and a method to position the part of the tower is provided. An arrangement to position at least a part of a wind turbine tower in respect to a counterpart during installation is disclosed. The arrangement includes a sensor to sense a position of a part of the tower, and means to transmit sensor information to a place in a certain distance from the sensor. The system further includes means to evaluate the sensor data, and means to influence the position of the part of the tower according to the evaluation of the sensor data.

Abstract: A lightning protection system for a tower of a wind turbine is provided. The tower includes a reinforced concrete tower wall in which a plurality of electrically conductive structural reinforcing elements are embedded during construction. The lightning protection system includes a plurality of the structural reinforcing elements connected in an electrically conductive manner with each other and with a ground terminal. Further, a method of incorporating such a lightning protection system in a reinforced concrete tower, and a wind turbine with such a lightning protection system is provided.

Abstract: An aligning tool in the field of wind turbines is provided. The aligning tool has a first and second section. The second section has an outside diameter tapering down in a direction away from the first section. The aligning tool is connected to a fastener and can easily catch a corresponding hole.

Abstract: An adaptive system, method, and computer-readable medium having instructions thereon for implementing a method via a processor are provided to determine a user's level of proficiency in a specific area. In embodiments, a user's level of proficiency is determined using a machine-learning system in which the system and method adapt to the user's level, based on that user's inputted answers and other users' inputted answers, in order to create a more insightful process of determination based on the user's comprehension and other factors observed via processor.

Abstract: Provided is a leveling arrangement for a tower, which leveling arrangement comprises a leveling ring realized for placement between a tower foundation and the tower; and a leveling apparatus, which leveling apparatus comprises a connection means for detachably connecting the leveling apparatus to the leveling ring during a leveling procedure; and a number of adjustment legs, wherein an adjustment leg is realized to effect a displacement of the leveling ring relative to the tower foundation during the leveling procedure; along with a method of providing a level mounting interface for a tower; and a method of erecting a wind turbine tower; and a wind turbine tower assembly.
