Publication number: 20240108422Abstract: A steerable arm for use in endoscopic surgical procedures. The steerable arm cut from a tube of nitinol to provide flexibility and resilience by the structure into which the tube is cut. Typically, the cut tube comprises a spiralling coil, the loops of which are in contact on one lateral side of the tube and the tube is bent to open apart the loops on the other lateral side. The material which the tube is made of is capable of retaining memory of the bend. This provides a bias for restoring the tube to the bend whenever a force causing the tube to flex is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Ka Wai KWOK, Zhuoliang HE, Xiaomei WANG, Justin Di-Lang HO, Ge FANG, Kui WANG

Publication number: 20230146670Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for composite-to-metal hybrid bonded structures compromising the laser surface treatment on titanium alloys to promote adhesive bond performance. For example, a computer may be programmed to set a laser path corresponding to a predetermined geometric pattern. A laser may be coupled to the computer and apply a pulsed laser beam to a contact surface of the titanium alloy along the predefined geometric pattern. The laser may generate an open pore oxide layer on the contact surface of the substrate with a thickness of 100 and 500 nm. The open pore oxide layer may have a topography corresponding to the predefined geometric pattern. The topography may contain high degree of open pore structure and promote adhesive bond performance. Adhesive, primer or composite resin matrix may fully infiltrate into the open pore structures. Adhesive and composite laminate may co-cure to form composite-to-titanium hybrid bonded structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2023Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Raytheon Technologies CorporationInventors: Xiaomei Fang, John D.

Patent number: 9970411Abstract: A UV-IR combination curing system and method for manufacture and repair of composite parts, such as for use in wind blade manufacture and repair. The system and method utilize UV and IR dual radiation sources to cure glass fiber reinforced laminates containing a photo initiator. The UV and IR dual radiation sources can be configured as discrete stand-alone UV and IR lamps used in a side by side configuration, a plurality of UV lamps with thermal IR radiation, a combined UV/IR lamp, or other forms of light sources providing both UV and IR radiation. To achieve high glass transition and complete curing of thick laminates, the IR radiation source is initially turned on to heat the laminate to close to 40° C.-100° C. before the UV radiation source is turned on. The IR radiation source can be turned off after UV radiation source is activated.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Xiaomei Fang, Thomas Miebach, David Simon, Jordan Philip Seeger
