Abstract: A jointed rotor blade includes a first blade segment and a second blade segment extending in opposite directions from a chord-wise joint. Each of blade segments has at least one shell member defining an airfoil surface and an internal support structure. The internal support structure of the first blade segment includes a beam structure extending lengthwise that structurally connects with the internal support structure of the second blade segment via a receiving section. The rotor blade further includes one or more pin joints positioned on at least one of internal support structures of the first blade segment or the second blade segment. Thus, at least one of internal support structures of the first blade segment or the second blade segment includes varying material combinations along a span of the rotor blade at locations of the one or more pin joints so as to reinforce the one or more pin joints.

Abstract: A jointed wind turbine rotor blade includes a first blade segment and a second blade segment extending in opposite directions from a chord-wise joint. A beam structure extends span-wise from the first blade segment into a receiving section formed in the second blade segment. The receiving section includes opposite spar caps and opposite interconnecting webs. The spar caps have a constant thickness along the receiving section where the spar caps overlap with the beam structure and are formed of a material or combination of materials along the receiving section to produce a desired stiffness of the spar caps along the receiving section. The webs have a reduced amount of conductive material adjacent to a chord-wise joint between the blade segments.

Abstract: Methods, electronic devices and systems for transferring hotspot session are provided. The methods include detecting an event to transfer a hot spot session of an electronic device which is a host access point in a network to a different electronic device, in response to detecting the event, determining at least one different electronic device from among the plurality of electronic devices as a target access point of the network, and sending a request for hotspot session transfer and client configuration details corresponding to a plurality of client devices which are coupled to be communicable with the electronic device to the at least one different electronic device, wherein, in response to the at least one different electronic device receiving the hotspot session transfer request through the communication interface, the at least one different device operates as a host access point providing a hotspot session in the network.
