Abstract: This invention relates to an article inspection system having one or more endless article conveyors configured to convey articles along one or more conveying paths. One or more light sources and one or more light diffusers are provided, wherein each light diffuser is positioned substantially at or below the level of the articles when conveyed along the conveying paths so as to illuminate, using light from the one or more light sources, at least side portions of the articles with substantially diffuse light when the articles are conveyed along the conveying path(s). At least one camera is positioned to image articles which are conveyed along the conveying paths.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning an airship 100 at a wind turbine generator. The method comprises the step of docking the airship 100 at the wind turbine generator with a forwards docking section, a rearwards docking section, a sideways docking section, or an upwards docking section of the airship being connected to the wind turbine generator. After the airship 100 has docked, at least one wind turbine generator component or at least one person is unloaded from the airship or loaded from the wind turbine generator to the airship. Docking of the airship 100 may be performed at one of the following components of the wind turbine generator: the nacelle 116, the hub 118, the tower, one or more of the blades 120, the foundation, or a substation of the wind turbine generator. The invention also relates to use of an airship 100 for being connected to a wind turbine generator and for loading or unloading wind turbine generator components or personnel to or from the wind turbine generator.
