  • Publication number: 20240057709
    Abstract: A system for forming a deep drawn helmet and method therefor are disclosed. The system includes a forming draw ring and a non-forming draw ring and supports a prepreg stack between a forming aperture of the forming draw ring and a non-forming aperture of the non-forming draw ring. The system clamps a flange portion of the prepreg stack between a contact surface of the forming draw ring and a contact surface of the non-forming draw ring, which forms a clamped assembly of the rings and the prepreg stack. The system then forms a deep drawn helmet preform from the prepreg stack of the clamped assembly. The same system or a different forming system then consolidates one or more of the preforms into a final deep drawn helmet. The system can control sliding of the flange during forming of the helmet preform without reducing the flange clamping force.

  • Publication number: 20240062760
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed. A digitized human vocal expression of a user and digital images are received over a network from a remote device. The digitized human vocal expression is processed to determine characteristics of the human vocal expression, including: pitch, volume, rapidity, a magnitude spectrum identify, and/or pauses in speech. Digital images are received and processed to detect characteristics of the user face, including detecting if any of the following is present: a sagging lip, a crooked smile, uneven eyebrows, and/or facial droop. Using the human vocal expression characteristics and face characteristics, a determination is made as to what action is to be taken. A cepstrum pitch may be determined using an inverse Fourier transform of a logarithm of a spectrum of a human vocal expression signal. The volume may be determined using peak heights in a power spectrum of the human vocal expression.
