  • Publication number: 20230109464
    Abstract: The invention is directed to embodiments of wind turbine arrangements. One wind turbine arrangement includes an inflatable component disposed within a hollow section of a wind turbine blade, wherein the inflatable component is a platform usable during service and/or installation of a wind turbine module, wherein the inflatable component includes an inflation structure with an air tight shell, wherein the air tight shell includes an inner shell and an outer shell surrounding the inner shell, and wherein the outer shell includes a material that protects against puncture of the inner shell. Another wind turbine arrangement includes a wind turbine blade; an inflatable platform positioned in the wind turbine blade; and an inflatable outer pressure ring that surrounds the platform, wherein the outer pressure ring, when inflated, fixes the platform in the wind turbine blade by generating a normal friction force between the platform and the wind turbine blade.

  • Patent number: 8381793
    Abstract: The invention relates lift and tilt mechanisms for Venetian blinds typically, although not exclusively, comprising slats of very large dimensions, both relating to the width of the slats and to the longitudinal extension of the slats. Thus the venetian blind comprising these slats can be made to cover very large window openings or other parts of buildings and rooms. Both from a functional and from an aestethical point of view a precise and reliable raising and lowering of the slats of the Venetian blind as well as the tilting of the slats is very important. The present invention provides improved mechanisms for attaining these characteristics.

  • Patent number: 7942051
    Abstract: A method and a device are described for survey of an ocean floor, and also cables and the like on the ocean floor in ocean areas with strong currents, as a submersible survey platform (10) is lowered from a surface vessel with the help of a winch system (12) on the vessel to a desired distance in relation to the ocean floor. The desired fixed distance from the ocean floor is controlled in real time in relation to the topography of the ocean floor at the same time as the vessel moves forward to drive the platform (10) along a desired trajectory with the help of one or more sensors that register the distance to and possibly direction towards the ocean floor and which are connected to the winch (12) via a control system (14). At the same time, sideways movements of the platform (10) caused by currents are compensated for with the help of one or more sensors that are connected to a number of thrusters (16) on the platform (10) via said control system (12).
