20090297358 | MODIFIED BLADE STIFFENER AND FABRICATION METHOD THEREFOR - The disclosure is generally directed to a modified blade stiffener having enhanced mechanical properties. An illustrative embodiment of the modified blade stiffener includes a stiffener-forming material shaped into a pair of coupled blades having first and second ends, a filler cavity provided at the first end of the blades, a blade filler provided in the filler cavity and a pair of blade flanges provided at the second end of the blades. | 12-03-2009 |
20100102482 | Method and Apparatus for Forming Highly Contoured Composite Parts - A method of forming a flat composite charge into a contoured composite part reduces wrinkles in the part as the charge is being formed. Dies are used to form a portion of charge to the steepest contour of the part, while tension is maintained on the charge as the remaining portions of the charge are formed. | 04-29-2010 |
20100140834 | Extrusion of Adhesives for Composite Structures - A structural filler is installed in a gap between at least first and second composite members by extruding a flowable filler material, placing the extruded filler on one of the composite structural members, and assembling the composite members. | 06-10-2010 |
20110146906 | Double Vacuum Cure Processing of Composite Parts - Out-of-autoclave curing of a composite part is performed using a double vacuum chamber assembly comprising integrated inner and outer vacuum chambers. | 06-23-2011 |
20120171410 | CONTOURED COMPOSITE PARTS - One embodiment of a composite part comprises a curved elongated section comprising a plurality of stacked reinforcement layers. The stacked reinforcement layers in the curved elongated section comprise at least one of non-continuous woven fabric and non-continuous reinforcement. | 07-05-2012 |
20120261059 | EXTRUSION OF ADHESIVES FOR COMPOSITE STRUCTURES - A structural filler is installed in a gap between at least first and second composite members by extruding a flowable filler material, placing the extruded filler on one of the composite structural members, and assembling the composite members. | 10-18-2012 |
20120298296 | VACUUM BAG PROCESSING USING DUAL SEALS - Apparatus for processing a workpiece comprises a base adapted to have a workpiece placed thereon. A vacuum bag is placed over the workpiece, and the bag is sealed to the base using inner and outer seals. The inner and outer seals are spaced apart from each other to form a channel therebetween. A vacuum port coupled with a vacuum source is used to evacuate air from the channel. | 11-29-2012 |
20140037780 | FORMING HIGHLY CONTOURED COMPOSITE PARTS - A method of forming a flat composite charge into a contoured composite part reduces wrinkles in the part as the charge is being formed. Dies are used to form a portion of charge to the steepest contour of the part, while tension is maintained on the charge as the remaining portions of the charge are formed. | 02-06-2014 |

20080202950 | CONTAINER CAP HAVING DISPENSING STORAGE CHAMBER - A small storage chamber for manually dispensing a liquid or powder substance into a primary container at the time of use to increase shelf life of combined substances. The storage chamber is mountable in a primary container opening or can include a threaded cap fastener. An actuator is movably mounted to said storage chamber and may include an aperture that allows for rapid filling of the storage chamber at the factory. | 08-28-2008 |
20090238495 | POUCH DISPENSER - A portable storage container that consists of multiple compartments that are used to separate different components of a stored item. In separating out the components, the shelf life of the stored item is dramatically increased. The storage device is made from a plurality of polymeric film sheets that are connected through a perimeter seal that leaves a vacant space within the perimeter seal between the polymeric film sheets for creating multiple compartments. The compartments are separated through frangible sealing structures that are made up of a plurality of individual seals of varying types. When the device is operated, the frangible sealing structure is ruptured, therefore allowing the separated components to mix. Using a sealing structure made up of multiple seals ensures that the compartments remain separated when the storage container is subjected to harsh environmental conditions. | 09-24-2009 |
20090308831 | POUCH CARTON AND CONTAINER FITMENTS FOR USE WITH ANY INGREDIENTS - A container having a storage and dosing cap having a body storage chamber that can be used to mix several substances at the time of use. The container is typically a can, pouch, bottle, IV bags, cartons, drums or any type of container that can hold ingredients that are liquid, powder and or gel. A powder, liquid, and or gel stored in the cap body can be activated by pushing or twisting an actuator top area or outer cap area of the storage and dosing cap to be mixed into the container. The actuator which can have none or more than one angle on the bottom area of the actuator can break open the bottom of the storage cap area whether being a line of weakening or a seal with absorbent material or both to release product into a container when manually depressed or twisted. | 12-17-2009 |
20100000960 | SEAL ABSORBENT PAD-RFID-BAR CODE-LABEL-CONTAINER FOR A DOSING CAP - A dosing cap for use with or without a separate container for combining two different ingredients at time of use by dispensing ingredient one from the dosing cap into a container with ingredient two. The dosing cap includes a moisture and waterproof seal to prevent the ingredients from receiving any moisture during storage, an absorbent material (desiccant) included with the seal to absorb any residual moisture in the container or that might be received into the container during storage to ensure a moisture free environment for the ingredient and a tracking device such as a radio frequency identifying chip (RFID) that is attached to the dosing cap for product identification and tracking purposes. | 01-07-2010 |
