  • Patent number: 7824165
    Abstract: Among other things, there is disclosed a system for curing a resin in a composite structure having one or more interconnected cure volumes, the cure volumes having one or more heatable surface zones. The system comprises a mould comprising a mould base portion adapted to support the composite structure and a mould closure portion adapted to overlie the mould base portion in sealable relation to define a mould chamber containing the composite structure within. The system further comprises a plurality of heating units each selectively positionable about the mould. The heating units transmit heat to the mould by radiation, and the mould heats the one or more surface zones of the cure volumes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6247443
    Abstract: An internal combustion rotary engine (1) comprises an engine casing (300) in which is rotatably mounted a cylindrical rotor assembly (2) co-axially fixed to a drive shaft (6). The rotor (3) receives a plurality of reciprocating vanes (9, 10, 11) in a staggered and radial arrangement. These vanes (9, 10, 11) are connected to cam axels (13, 14, 15) which in turn impart and control their reciprocating movements through a slidable engagement with cam pathways. The reciprocating movements of the vanes define the working chambers of the engine as the rotor rotates.
