20090118460 | SOLUBLE AROMATIC RANDOM COPOLYIMIDE AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING SAME - A soluble aromatic random copolyimide and a process for preparing same are herein disclosed, wherein the copolyimide is prepared from (a) an aromatic diamine and two or more different aromatic dianhydrides or (b) an aromatic dianhydride and two or more different aromatic diamines; wherein at least one of the diamine or the dianhydride contains a sulfonyl group directly or indirectly linking the two amine moieties in said diamine or the two anhydride moieties in said dianhydride. The copolyimide is soluble at room temperature in polar organic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrollidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and dimethylformamide, and has a glass transition temperatures below its respective melting points. As such, the copolyimide is more easily solubilized and processed into working forms, while still retaining desirable characteristics such as heat resistance, and may be used in various applications for which aromatic polyimides are known to be useful. | 05-07-2009 |

20150039122 | DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF POSITIONING PATHS FOR MULTI-AXIS NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED MACHINING - Optimized positioning paths for multi-axis CNC machining can be generated based on the machine tool kinematics, machine axes travel limits, machine axis velocity and acceleration limits, and machine positioning methodologies. Machine axes travel limits and machine positioning methodologies are incorporated in order to ensure that the developed positioning paths do not violate machine axes travel limitations. Multi-axis positioning paths are developed to avoid collisions with dynamically changing in-process stock and other surroundings, including fixtures and both moving and non-moving components of the machine. Positioning tool path customizations give the user the flexibility to apply safety based constraints to the automatically generated tool paths. The disclosed automatic positioning path planning and optimization methods are used to develop a process for part manufacturing using CNC machining in order to reduce the manufacturing cycle time. | 02-05-2015 |
