Abstract: A method of making a wing for an aerospace vehicle includes forming a frame member defining opposing perpendicular legs being spaced by an interconnecting member. A plurality of ribs is interconnected along the frame member at spaced locations forming an internal wing structure. Each of the ribs define an upper rib surface and a lower rib surface. A composite upper skin and lower skin are formed as a continuous sheet by way of a pultrusion process defining a shape that is complimentary to the plurality of ribs. The upper skin is secured to the upper surface defined by the plurality of ribs and the lower skin is secured to the lower surface of the plurality of ribs forming the aerospace wing.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling a refrigeration system is operative to reduce a system pressure of the refrigeration system. The system pressure is reduced to reduce a start-up current associated with a compressor motor of the refrigeration system. Another method and system for controlling a refrigeration system includes steps of performing an operation of the refrigeration system in accordance with at least one parameter, sensing an amount of energy utilized in at least a portion of the refrigeration system to perform the operation, and modifying the at least one parameter to reduce the amount of energy required to subsequently perform the operation.
