  • Publication number: 20240042706
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for making a high density structural composite includes depositing a plurality of fibrous materials on or adjacent a first plate or surface. A polymer liquid is deposited onto the plurality of fibrous materials to form a composite mixture. A first cyclic pressure is applied onto the composite mixture to compress the composite mixture. In some embodiments, the cyclic pressure may then be reduced to a valley pressure to complete a pressurization cycle. In some instances, the valley pressure may be below atmospheric pressure to induce trapped air and volatile gases to escape from the composite mixture before curing. The pressurization cycle may be repeated. A second pressure, which may be a constant pressure in some embodiments, may be applied to the composite mixture using, in some embodiments, a second plate until the polymer liquid has at least partially cured or partially solidified.

  • Publication number: 20220153473
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a maintainable pallet is provided with interchangeable support structures and sensors for identifying any damage that the interchangeable support structures may experience. The maintainable pallet may include two side supports, two end supports coupled to the two side supports end-to-end to form a rectangle, a central support position between the two side supports, a plurality of top transverse support fastened onto the two side supports to form a top loading surface and the central support with two-part releasable fasteners, and two bottom transverse supports fastened to the ends of the two side supports to form a bottom surface with two-part releasable fasteners. Sensors, in some embodiments, may be embedded in the two side supports to measure, for example, acceleration, location, or other logistic information.

  • Publication number: 20180043227
    Abstract: A bag toss game platform easy to assemble and store is disclosed. Traditional bag toss game platforms are two pre-assembled boxes taking up to 48 inches by 24 inches by 15 inches in total and cannot be dissembled by players after use. But the platforms described herein take (for two sets), in certain embodiments, no more than 48 inches by 13 inches by 3.5 inches (i.e., about ? of the traditional volume) and can easily be assembled for gameplay and disassembled after use. The platform may include a top surface, at least two side supports, and at least two cross bars connecting the at least two side supports. Because cross lap joints between the side supports and cross bars, and groove joints between the top surface and the side supports and cross bars may be used, the platform is easily assembled for use and disassembled for transportation and storage.
