Patent number: 11143160Abstract: A flexible aeroshell extender piece for an inboard part of a wind turbine blade is described, along with an associated method of manufacture. The flexible aeroshell is formed by first assembling a consolidated aeroshell piece, and then making a series of slits at the trailing edge of the aeroshell piece. Such a construction provides an aeroshell having a relatively flexible trailing edge section, which allows for bending or flexing of the aeroshell trailing edge during wind turbine blade operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: LM WP PATENT HOLDING A/SInventors: Jesper Hasselbalch Garm, Gurli Rask Nielsen, Peter Quiring

Publication number: 20210298250Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an irrigation system for irrigating a plurality of plants growing in growing media. The system includes a movable grow table for supporting and displacing the plants and a gravity irrigation device which is coupled to the movable grow table and displaceable therewith. The gravity irrigation device includes a reservoir which is coupled to the movable grow table, a main header in fluid communication with an outlet of the reservoir which is configured to receive a flow of water therefrom, as well as a plurality of microtubes which extends from a plurality of header outlets. The microtubes are configured to receive a head-pressurized flow of water from the main header to evenly irrigate the plants. A method for irrigating a plurality of plants growing in growing media is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Peter Quiring, Matthew James McRae, Joseph Jake Friesen, Jacob Friesen

Patent number: 11092132Abstract: A method and mould system for manufacturing at least a root section of a wind turbine blade is described. The method and system utilise a mould inlay which is arranged on top of a mould surface of a mould part so as to change the radius of curvature of the mould part and thereby also the diameter of a root section manufactured via the mould part and mould inlay. Further, blades manufactured via the method and mould system are described.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2014Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: LM WP PATENT HOLDING A/SInventors: Peter Quiring, Michael Schafer

Patent number: 10458389Abstract: A wind turbine blade assembly comprising a wind turbine blade having a tip end and a root end, and a leading edge and a trailing edge with a chord length extending therebetween is described. The wind turbine blade assembly further comprises an aeroshell extender piece comprising a body for attachment to a trailing edge side of a profile of a wind turbine blade, the body having a first end for attachment to the trailing edge side of the profile, and a second trailing edge end to form an extended airfoil trailing edge profile for a portion of the profile of the wind turbine blade. The aeroshell extender piece is attached to the wind turbine blade at least partly using at least one profile wedge, said at least one profile wedge being shaped to compensate for the geometry of the wind turbine blade.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: LM WP PATENT HOLDING A/SInventors: Utsa Majumder, Aanchal Saini, Jesper Hasselbalch Garm, Gurli Rask Nielsen, Peter Quiring

Patent number: 10107258Abstract: A wind turbine blade comprises a profiled contour having a pressure side and a suction side, a leading edge and a trailing edge with a chord extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The profiled contour generating a lift when being impacted by an incident airflow is formed by a hollow shell body. The hollow shell body is formed by at least a first shell body part and a second shell body part, which are mutually connected at least at the trailing edge and/or the leading edge. An edge stiffener is arranged within the hollow shell body at a first part of the edges, a first surface part of the edge stiffener being connected to an inner side of the first shell body part, and a second surface part of the edge stiffener being connected to an inner side of the second shell body part.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2011Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: LM GLASFIBER A/SInventors: Peter Quiring, Rocco Prete, Torben Lindby

Publication number: 20140124527Abstract: An automated produce department has a housing at least partially enclosing a display area and a window for viewing the display area. A plurality of produce supports each support a plurality of packages of produce in a vertical stack. The produce supports are disposed in a horizontal array such that the supports cooperate to display produce as a horizontal display viewable through the viewing window. Each of the produce supports have a vertically adjustable platform such that the platforms may be adjusted to position an uppermost package of produce in each of the vertical stacks at a display level generally in a display plane, and the uppermost packages are viewable through the viewing window. A retrieval system retrieves a package of produce from any of the produce supports and delivers the package to an output area.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: South Essex Fabricating Inc.Inventors: Peter Quiring, David Knelsen Dyck
