Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade including: arranging an upper mold on a lower wherein a dry fiber lay-up is arranged in the upper mold or in the upper mold and the lower mold, applying vacuum to a space between the upper and lower molds, and infusing the dry fiber lay-up in the upper and/or lower molds with resin through at least one upper resin inlet arranged at an upper portion of the upper mold. Having the at least one upper resin inlet of the upper mold improves the vacuum-assisted resin infusion. Resin provided through the at least one upper resin inlet has to be raised by a smaller height to reach the top of the mold. A resin flow of the resin provided through the at least one upper resin inlet is supported in a downward direction by the gravitational force.

Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a distributed antenna system (DAS) configured to cause a remote antenna unit deployed near a railroad track to operate in a low-power and/or muted operational state. While the remote antenna unit is operating in the low-power and/or muted operational state, the DAS determines if a train is sufficiently close to a coverage area of the remote antenna unit to trigger a change in an operational state of the remote antenna unit. In response to such a determination, the DAS causes the remote antenna unit to operate in a normal operational state. While the remote antenna unit is operating in the normal operational state, the DAS determines if the train has exited the coverage area of the remote antenna unit. In response to such a determination, the DAS causes the remote antenna unit to operate in the low-power and/or muted operational state.

Abstract: The method of conveying samples using a continuous flow of pressurized air for conveying elongated items holding samples along a path in a tube system from at least one dispatch station, at which the elongated items are dispatched into the path, to at least one receiver station in the direction of the flow of pressurized air along the path. Individual items are sent in succession by means of pressurized air supplied to the tube system via the dispatch station and via a by-pass duct that extends around the at least one dispatch station from an upstream to a downstream side thereof. A constant flow of pressurized air is conducted via the by-pass around the at least one dispatch station into said path by which items already underway along the path in the tube system remain moving during dispatching of an item into the path.
