  • Publication number: 20250150559
    Abstract: A method for imaging a region of a moving blade of a wind turbine includes using a wider field-of-view (WFoV) camera to capture a plurality of WFoV images of at least part of the moving blade in a field-of-view (FoV) of the WFoV camera, determine a trigger time when an edge of the moving blade to calculate one or more NFoV image capture times when the edge of the moving blade, or a body of the moving blade, is, or will be, in the FoV of a NFoV camera, and using the NFoV camera to capture one or more NFoV images. The one or more NFoV images of the region of the moving blade may be analysed to identify any damage or defects in the moving blade without any need to interrupt the motion of the blades of the wind turbine.

The housing includes a top wall and at least one side wall defining an inner chamber. The dispensers are mounted in spaced relation on the top and side walls and are connected with the reservoir. When an entity is arranged in the housing, the atomizing dispensers are activated to spray the fluid onto the entity. In a preferred embodiment, the housing further includes a bottom wall configured for collecting fluid. Preferably, the apparatus includes at least one motion sensor mounted on the housing for detecting motion at a threshold of the side opening to electronically operate the atomizing dispensers for a defined period of time.

  • Patent number: 10960523
    Abstract: A nail driving tool is fashioned as a cylindrical member having an interior void through which a pin is capable of partial movement. The pin is secured within the cylindrical unit by a knob disposed through the cylindrical member, thereby keeping the pin from being fully ejected therefrom. The tool is capable of securing a nail at a first end and upon a force delivered to the pin, driving the nail in a workpiece.
