Abstract: A wind turbine blade inspection system for inspecting a wind turbine blade part, such as a wind turbine blade shell part or a wind turbine blade spar cap, for defects, is described. The wind turbine blade shell part extends in a longitudinal direction, and wherein the system comprises: at least a first image capturing device; conveying means for moving the at least first image capturing device along the wind turbine blade part and configured so as to capture a plurality of acquired images comprising first images of parts of the wind turbine blade part along the wind turbine blade part; and an image processing unit configured to identify an anomaly in the plurality of acquired images and identify whether the anomaly relates to a defect in the wind turbine blade part.

Abstract: A validating service of a plurality of services that compose an application receives a security token that identifies an entity that has submitted a transaction to the application, the security token indicating that the entity is authorized to submit the transaction to the application. The validating service obtains a transaction identifier that uniquely identifies the transaction. The validating service sends, to a collector service, the transaction identifier and data derived from the security token that identifies the entity. A downstream service receives input data associated with the transaction, the input data including the transaction identifier. The downstream service accesses an information source to obtain information. The downstream service sends, to the collector service, the transaction identifier and metadata about the information.

Abstract: An emergency shut-off device shuts off supply of control oil to a trip-and-throttle valve of a steam turbine and closes the trip-and-throttle valve in an emergency. The emergency shut-off device includes: a cylinder; a piston that slides into the cylinder; a spring that applies a biasing force to the piston; a plurality of piston valves disposed on the piston; and a plurality of chambers that are formed by the piston valves. The control oil is supplied to and drained from the plurality of chambers, and a sliding surface of each of the piston valves has a groove to leak the control oil in a corresponding one of the chambers to another one of the chambers that is adjacent to the corresponding chamber in an axis direction.

Abstract: A trip system for a steam turbine closes a trip-and-throttle valve and a control valve of a steam turbine in an emergency. The trip system includes: an emergency shut-off device that shuts off supply of control oil for the trip-and-throttle valve and the control valve to close the trip-and-throttle valve and the control valve; and a drain device that includes a plurality of solenoid valves connected in parallel and drains the control oil by opening the solenoid valves. The emergency shut-off device includes a cylinder, a piston that slides in the cylinder, a spring that applies biasing force to the piston, a plurality of piston valves provided to the piston, and a plurality of chambers formed by the piston valves.

Abstract: The emergency shutoff device is provided with a casing (21) in which inflow ports (22) through which control oil flows into a space (A1) provided therein and a plurality of outflow ports (23) through which the control oil flows outside of the space (A1) are formed; and a switching unit (24) configured to slide along an inner circumferential surface of the casing (21) in which the space (A1) is formed, to change its position relative to the plurality of outflow ports (23), and thus to switch a circulation state of the control oil in the space (A1). The switching unit (24) switches the circulation state between the first circulation state in which the control oil is circulated from a first inflow port (221) to a first outflow port (231) and the third circulation state in which an open and closed state of a test outflow port (236) is switched while the control oil is being circulated from the first inflow port (221) to the first outflow port (231).

Abstract: An abrasive article comprising a nonwoven substrate material impregnated with a first and second formulation. The first and second formulations have broad spectrum antimicrobial effectiveness against one or more microbial organisms. The first and second formulations include the same or different polymer compositions, which include one or more antimicrobial agents and abrasive particles uniformly dispersed in the polymer compositions.
