Abstract: A method for manufacturing stringers for aircraft, wherein the stringer comprises two semi-stringers, includes steps of placing tows on a flat surface for forming the semi-stringers independently or at the same time, the placement being made by partially overlapping the tows and orientating the tows on the flat surface according to boundaries of the flat surface, the tows covering the boundaries of the flat surface; and cutting the tows so that a shape of the tows corresponds to the shape of the flat surface defined by boundaries of the flat surface.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a boosting system includes a booster circuit. The booster circuit is configured to receive a direct current (DC) voltage input and to adjust the DC voltage input. The boosting system further includes a current sensing circuit coupled to the booster circuit and a first end of a power cable. The current sensing circuit is configured to measure a current at the first end of the power cable. The boosting system further includes one or more processors coupled to the booster circuit and the current sensing circuit. The one or more processors are configured to adjust an output of the booster circuit when the current sensing circuit indicates that the current at the first end of the power cable exceeds a first threshold. The first threshold is selected at least in part based on one or more safety standards of the power cable.
