  • Patent number: 11781522
    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly of a wind turbine includes a rotor blade having an aerodynamic body with an inboard region and an outboard region. The inboard and outboard regions define a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The inboard region includes a blade root, whereas the outboard region includes a blade tip. The rotor blade also defines a chord and a span. Further, the inboard region includes a transitional region of the rotor blade that includes a maximum chord. Moreover, a unitless first derivative of the chord with respect to the span of the rotor blade in the transitional region ranges from about ?0.10 to about 0.10 from the maximum chord over about 15% of the span of the rotor blade. In addition, the unitless first derivative of the chord with respect to the span a slope of a change in the chord in is greater than about ?0.03 at an inflection point of the chord in the outboard region.

  • Patent number: 11536245
    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly for a wind turbine is presented. The rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade having a surface, where the surface of the rotor blade includes an inclined groove. The rotor blade assembly further includes at least one add-on element mounted on the surface of the rotor blade via a bonding interface downstream of the inclined groove such that particulate matter in an airflow upstream of the at least one add-on element is deflected away from the bonding interface between the surface of the rotor blade and the at least one add-on element. The wind turbine having the rotor blade assembly is also presented.

  • Patent number: 11473602
    Abstract: A hand crank cam lock for connecting medium to large sized display walls or boards including a hand crank disposed in a cam lock. The hand crank cam lock is configured to join two separate extrusions or frames together in a toolless manner. The hand crank cam lock locks these frames when the hand crank is turned clockwise, a plurality of hooks slide back along channels inside an outer body to grab the inner walls of a frame. This will in turn lock the hooks into place against the inner walls. The hand crank will only require half a turn to travel the required distance to lock the hooks into place and this half turn may be performed via a tool or by hand.
