Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a method for repairing a damage to a thermoplastic composite element, in particular an aircraft component, wherein a socket is milled at the site of damage to the thermoplastic composite element. Then, in the socket a patch is formed from a thermosetting material containing a reinforcing phase of fabric layers and a matrix of thermosetting resin, the patch having a shape and size corresponding to the socket geometry. In the next step, the patch is cured, and finally the cured patch is glued into the socket by means of an adhesive.

Abstract: An improved user interface is presented on a client device of a seller of an item. The improved user interface includes one or more interactive user interface elements for facilitating a listing of the item on a secondary market associated with a set of online exchange platforms. The listing of the ticket on the secondary market is simultaneous with the listing of the ticket on a primary market. A selection element provides for selecting one or more connections of the seller to whom the listing of the ticket on the secondary market is to be made accessible. Based on a determination that a connection of the one or more connections of the seller has entered into an agreement to purchase the ticket on the secondary market, the seller is charged a listing fee associated with the secondary market and the listing of the item is automatically removed from the secondary market.

Abstract: A process of coating a metallic article comprises depositing a metallic coating powder to a surface of a metallic article; applying an energy beam to the deposited metallic coating powder to at least partially melt the metallic coating powder while moving the energy beam and/or the metallic article to have a relative velocity of at or between about 15 meters/minute to about 60 meters/minute; and cooling the melted metallic coating powder to form a coating layer on the surface of the metallic article.

Abstract: The invention provides a sterilizable package having a support member and a sheet material that either forms a lidding for the support member or a pouch in which the support member is disposed. The sheet material comprises a barrier material and includes breathable membrane comprising a breathable material that is pervious to moisture and gases, and impervious to microorganisms. The breathable membrane allows a sterilizing gas to be introduced into the sterilizable package. The breathable membrane is disposed towards a central portion of the sheet material and is spaced apart from any seams joining the sheet material to the support member or seams defining the pouch. In one embodiment, a sterilized article is disposed in the interior of the sterilizable package.

Abstract: The invention provides a dual compartment pouch having first and second compartments that are separated from each other by an impervious inner sheet having a breathable membrane. The breathable membrane comprises a breathable material that is pervious to moisture and gases, and impervious to liquids as well as microorganisms. The breathable membrane allows a sterilizing gas to be introduced between the first and second compartments. The front and back sheets are sealed to the inner sheet to define the first and second compartments in which the inner sheet forms a common wall between the compartments. The breathable membrane is disposed towards a central portion of the inner sheet and is spaced apart from the seams joining the front and back sheets to the inner sheet. In one embodiment, a sterilized article is disposed in one compartment, and an absorbent packets are disposed in the other compartment.

Abstract: A method of continuously forming, filling and sealing of packages with a continuous web of film material is disclosed and comprises the steps of providing a continuous web of film material and folding the web to provide confronting sides joined along a bottom edge and forming a vertical seal at spaced intervals along the web. This process forms a series of horizontally disposed pouches having opposed sidewalls separated by the vertical seals with each pouch being unsealed along a top edge. The pouches are then opened by separating the opposed sidewalls and are then filled with a product.
