20160075061 | METHODS TO INCREASE STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE, STRENGTH AND DURABILITY OF FABRIC-REINFORCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS BY PRE-STRESSING - Methods to increase structural performance, strength, and durability of textile-reinforced composite materials are provided. The textile reinforcement may be knitted, for example, in a flat bed weft knitting machine. The method may include pre-stressing a textile reinforcement preform by applying tension. A polymeric precursor may be introduced to the pre-stressed textile reinforcement preform. The polymeric precursor may then be cured or consolidated, followed by releasing of the applied tension to form the composite article comprising polymer and the pre-stressed textile reinforcement. In other aspects, a composite article is provided that has a pre-stressed textile reinforcement structure and a cured polymer. The textile reinforcement may be a knitted, lightweight, seamless, unitary structure. The knitted reinforcement structure may have distinct first and second knitted regions with different levels of pre-stress, thus providing enhanced control over strength, rigidity, and flexibility of the composite article. | 03-17-2016 |

20100005911 | Weathering Test Apparatus With Real-Time Color Measurement - What is disclosed is a weathering test apparatus with an In situ, Real-time Color Measurement System (IRCMS) with an input optic connected to a light pipe placed in the chamber between a light source and a test specimen in turn connected to a color measuring sensor and the associated processing and storage system to determine the color of a specimen in a continuous fashion within the enclosure of the weathering device. The color obtained is then compared a stored value or reference to determine the color evolution over time and can also be compared with the Standard Reference Materials (SRM) to determine when standardized testing has achieved acceptable color change values. In another embodiment, the input optic is offset from a line between the specimen and the light source to limit interference of shading created by the optic, and in another embodiment, several input optics are used in tandem to measure the color of different specimens located at different angular orientations on the rotating rack in the chamber. In yet another embodiment, a second optic is used to take a full-spectrum measurement of the irradiant light source used in the color calculation under the CIE standard. | 01-14-2010 |
