20160096289 | Methods and Apparatus for Curing Composite Nacelle Structure - Methods and apparatus for curing curved cylinder-like workpieces (e.g., in the shape of a half or full barrel) made of composite material, such as nacelle honeycomb core composite sandwich structures. These methods enable tailored curing of composite nacelle structures, to significantly reduce capital cost and fabrication cycle time. In lieu of an autoclave or oven, a pressurized ring-shaped cure volume is defined by a partitioned enclosure that mimics the cylinder-like shape of the composite nacelle structure with only limited clearance (e.g., a partitioned enclosure comprising inner and outer concentric cylinder-like walls). A tool (e.g., a mandrel) and at least one composite nacelle structure supported thereon are placed in the cure volume for curing. Integrally heated tooling, optionally in combination with other heating methods, such as infrared heaters, is utilized to provide the temperature profile necessary for cure. | 04-07-2016 |
20160114549 | FEEDING CARRIAGE FOR COMPRESSOR MACHINE AND USE OF SAME - The invention relates to a feeding carriage for a compressor machine of the type having an upper filling end through which a particulate material which is to be compressed in a mold of the compressor machine is introduced, and a lower discharging end for discharging said particulate material towards said mold. At least some of the elements forming said feeding carriage can move with respect to one another, which thereby allows modifying the geometry of at least one of said lower discharging end, said upper filling end and an intermediate portion of the supply carriage located between both ends. The invention also relates to the use of such a feeding carriage comprising the initial steps of determining optimum carriage geometry for a particulate material which is to be compressed and applying said optimum carriage geometry to the feeding carriage. | 04-28-2016 |
