Abstract: A solar panel support apparatus comprising: a support frame for holding the solar panel; a support post pivotally connected to the support frame at a post pivot connection and anchored to an adjacent supporting surface, the support post for positioning the support frame above the supporting surface; and a linear actuator coupled at a proximal end to the support post by a support pivot connection and at a distal end by a frame pivot connection with the support frame, the post pivot connection and the frame pivot connection spaced apart from one another on the support frame; wherein a change in a length of the linear actuator results in pivoting of the support frame about the post pivot connection.

Abstract: Warps of a reinforcing filamentary yarn are selectively interwoven with wefts of the reinforcing filamentary yarn, so as to form a tailored woven reinforcement for use in the manufacture of a composite article having a known three-dimensional shape. The wefts extend in a direction transverse to said warps, to form at least one first portion of the woven reinforcement having interwoven warps and wefts, and to form at least one second portion of the woven reinforcement having other than interwoven warps and wefts. The at least one first portion and the at least one second portion are arranged, one relative to the other within said woven reinforcement, in dependence upon the known three-dimensional shape of the composite article. The woven reinforcement is suitable for use in a variety of processes including prepreg processes, Resin Transfer Molding processes and Resin Infusion Molding processes.
