  • Method of fabricating conductive composites
    Patent number: 8025752
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a conductive composite wherein at least one predetermined electrical access area of a conductive material is coated with a maskant. The conductive material is included in a composite ply lay-up which is cured and then the maskant is removed from the conductive material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2011
    Assignee: Raytheon Company

  • High strength, long durability structural fabric/seam system
    Patent number: 7767296
    Abstract: A high strength, high modulus structural fabric product and the method of manufacturing the product are disclosed. The incorporation of a specific fiber/fabric treatment coupled with a resin impregnation and coating process produces a composite material. This composite material comprises high strength and modulus fibers embedded in and linked to a matrix. The resulting fabric product is useable in the formation of seamed structures, which carry and distribute high-level loads under extreme environmental conditions.

  • High strength fabric structure and seam therefor with uniform thickness and a method of making same
    Patent number: 6911955
    Abstract: A high strength flexible fabric structure including a plurality of flexible fabric sections, each section including a plurality of plies of alternating fiber orientation. A joint is located between adjacent sections. The plies of each section are offset to form a uniform thickness seam between the two sections without any overlap of plies of like fiber orientation.
