20090243300UNDERWATER DUCTED TURBINE - An apparatus is disclosed for a turbine for generating electrical power from water or air flow comprising at least one rotor disk having a plurality of hydrofoil blades, guide vanes, a cylindrical housing, and a generator means. A rim generator comprising a magnet race rotor rim and fixed stator coils in the housing is used. The apparatus is fitted with a screen to stop the ingress of debris and marine life, and a skirt augmenter device to reduce the Betz effect. The apparatus is preferably for sub-sea deployment and driven by tidal currents, but may be powered by river current or wave driven air or by wind. The apparatus may be deployed on at least one telescoping pole, tethered to the sea-bed and kept buoyant by buoyant concrete in the housing, or inserted in a dam, under a barge or in a tidal power array.10-01-2009

20100252681INTERNALLY STIFFENED COMPOSITE PANELS AND METHODS FOR THEIR MANUFACTURE - Internally stiffened composite panels and associated manufacturing methods. In one embodiment, an internally stiffened composite panel includes a first face sheet, a second face sheet offset from the first face sheet, and at least one core portion sandwiched between the first and second face sheets. In one aspect of this embodiment, the composite panel further includes a stiffener disposed between the first and second face sheets adjacent to the core portion. The stiffener can have a first attachment portion attached to the first face sheet, a second attachment portion attached to the second face sheet, and an intermediate portion extending between the first and second attachment portions. In another aspect of this embodiment, one or both of the first and second attachment portions is configured to engage a fastener, such as a blind fastener, for attaching a part to the composite panel.10-07-2010
