Abstract: A client device that includes a camera and an extended reality client application program is employed by a user in a physical space, such as an industrial or campus environment. The user aims the camera within the mobile device at a real-world asset, such as a computer system, classroom, or vehicle. The client device acquires a digital image via the camera and detects textual and/or pictorial content included in the acquired image that corresponds to one or more anchors. The client device queries a data intake and query system for asset content associated with the detected anchors. Upon receiving the asset content from the data intake and query system, the client device generates visualizations of the asset content and presents the visualizations via a display device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to chemical mechanical polishing systems (CMP) systems and processes used in the manufacturing of electronic devices. In particular, embodiments herein relate to methods of detecting non-conforming substrate processing events during a polishing process. In one embodiment, a method of processing a substrate on a polishing system includes urging a surface of a silicon carbide substrate against a polishing pad in the presence of a polishing fluid, determining a temperature of the polishing pad using a temperature sensor that is positioned above the platen, monitoring the temperature of the polishing pad, and, if the change in polishing pad temperature reaches a threshold value, initiating a response using a controller of the polishing system.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a fiber reinforced portion of a wind turbine rotor blade include disposing a continuous fiber mat adjacent a prefabricated layer, wherein the continuous fiber mat comprises randomly arranged reinforcing fibers and wherein the prefabricated layer comprises reinforcing fibers and a cured polymeric resin. The method further includes disposing a structural layer adjacent the continuous fiber mat opposite the prefabricated layer, wherein the structural layer comprises reinforcing fibers. The method then includes infusing a polymeric resin through at least the continuous fiber mat and curing the resin to form the fiber reinforced portion of the wind turbine rotor blade.

Abstract: Methods of assembling rotor blades include providing a first blade segment comprising a first shell portion and at least two first spar cap segments and providing a second blade segment comprising a second shell portion and at least two second spar cap segments. An access region is defined in at least one of the first shell portion and the second shell portion. The second blade segment is then inserted into the first blade segment, such that a spar cap cavity is formed between each set of corresponding first and second spar cap segments, and wherein an access window is defined by the access region at an interface between the first blade segment and the second blade segment, the access window providing access to the spar cap cavities. The method further includes sealing the spar cap cavities and injecting an adhesive into the spar cap cavities to bond the blade segments together, wherein a scarf joint is formed between each set of corresponding first and second spar cap segments.

Abstract: The invention provides a drive coil and measurement probe comprising the drive coil. The measurement probes can be used, for example, in in-situ, non-destructive testing methods, also provided herein.

Abstract: A multi segment wind turbine blade comprises at least two blade segments. A first blade segment comprises an outer skin, a bulkhead, and first alignment brackets removably coupled to the outer skin of the first blade segment. A first portion of a flange of the bulkhead is bonded to the first blade segment and a second portion of the flange of the bulkhead projects out from the first blade segment. A second blade segment comprises an outer skin and second alignment brackets removably coupled to the outer skin of the first blade segment. The first and second alignment brackets are alignable upon the outer side of the second blade segment being inserted over the second portion of the flange of the bulkhead.

Abstract: Composite components fabricated to have shapes with in-plane curvature, for example, a spar cap for an airfoil having a swept configuration. A process for fabricating the component includes forming prepregs to have a laminate architecture containing a fibrous reinforcement material in a matrix of a partially-cured polymer material. The prepregs are stacked and bonded together to form a straight elongate preform. An in-plane curvature is then induced in the preform within a plane containing longitudinal and transverse directions of the preform so as to create a swept configuration. The in-plane curvature is induced by applying forces parallel to the transverse direction of the preform while the preform is at a temperature of less than the melting temperature of the polymer material, such that the polymer material cold flows. The polymer material is then fully cured to yield the composite component.
