20130011237 | ENERGY SAVING PUMP WITH MULTIPLE IMPELLERS - A centrifugal pump incorporates multiple impellers which are driven by a shaft at constant speed. To engage an impeller, a ball end rod is operated, which interacts with an integral structure which comprises a disc, connector or a support collar, and face gear as linking means. The integral structure is further coupled with the impeller. During engagement, a linking means which is mounted on the impeller and also on the integral structure get coupled together resulting in engaging the impeller for rotation. The impellers can be engaged and disengaged according to the flow requirements thereby saving the energy. | 01-10-2013 |

20140011414 | NANOREINFORCED FILMS AND LAMINATES FOR AEROSPACE STRUCTURES - A composite laminate for use on an external part of an aerospace vehicle has improved ultraviolet resistance and resistance to microcracking from thermal cycling. The laminate comprises a nanoreinforcement film, a support veil, and a composite layer. The laminate also can have a lightning strike protection layer and an external paint and primer. The nanoreinforcement film can comprise carbon nanomaterial and a polymer resin, and the composite layer has one or more layers of a reinforcement and a polymer resin. The carbon nanomaterial can be carbon nanofibers, and the nanoreinforcement film can have an areal weight of less than about 100 g/m2. The carbon nanomaterial can also comprise carbon nanofibers and carbon nanotubes. | 01-09-2014 |
20140021295 | LIGHTNING STRIKE PROTECTION - A lightning strike protection material may include a fiber reinforced composite aircraft component including carbon fibers in a resin matrix. The carbon fibers may have a length greater than at least about 6 mm and include carbon nanotubes grown on the fibers, and the nanotubes may be substantially uniformly distributed on the fibers and have a length between about 1 and 100 microns. The nanotubes may decrease a surface resistance of the resin matrix. | 01-23-2014 |
20150136909 | VIRTUAL AERODYNAMIC SURFACE SYSTEMS - A method of generating a pressure wave proximate an airflow surface and altering airflow to promote a localized lowering of skin friction over the airflow surface is described herein. A series of pressure waves may be configured to create a virtual riblet to control turbulent vortices in a boundary layer adjacent to the airflow surface creating a virtual riblet. The pressure waves may be configured to prevent disruption of the flow of air relative to at least one of a step or a gap associated with the airflow surface. The pressure wave generating system may be comprised of at least one of a thermoacoustic material, a piezoelectric material and a semiconductor material, and a microelectric circuit. | 05-21-2015 |

20150306815 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORATING MATERIALS - Systems and methods for manufacturing laser-perforated nanoreinforced materials are disclosed. A honeycomb core may utilize a perforated top sheet and a microperforated overlay film coupled to the perforated top sheet. The perforated top sheet and/or the microperforated film may include thermally conductive nanomaterials. The perforations in the top sheet and the microperforations in the film may be laser drilled. The nanomaterials may dissipate heat generated by the laser drilling, allowing for increased perforation speeds. | 10-29-2015 |
20150307206 | LIGHTNING STRIKE PROTECTION FOR COMPOSITE COMPONENTS - Systems and methods for lightning strike materials are disclosed. The material may include a carbon fiber tow. Carbon nanotubes may be grown on carbon fibers within the carbon fiber tow. The carbon nanotubes may cause the carbon fibers to separate, decreasing a carbon tow fiber volume fraction of the tow. The growth of the carbon nanotubes may be controlled to select a tow fiber volume fraction of the tow. The lightning strike material may transmit electricity to decrease damage to the composite structure in case of a lightning strike. | 10-29-2015 |
