Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fibre-reinforced polymer object by means of vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM), wherein fibre material is impregnated with liquid resin in a mould cavity comprising a rigid mould part having a mould surface defining an outer surface of the object, is described. One or more pressure sensors are connected to resin inlets of the VARTM system. A control unit is used for controlling a polymer supply unit based on measured resin pressure and is adapted to adjusting a resin flow rate, if pressure measured by the pressure sensors is below a lower threshold level or above a higher threshold level.

Abstract: Method for producing a supporting profiled element configured to support a reinforcing profiled element that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product during a curing process of a method for producing a vehicle fuselage component, in which the reinforcing profiled element is bonded to a surface of a fuselage shell that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product. The method includes providing a profiled hose and detachably inserting end pieces at the two ends of the profiled hose, so as to seal the end pieces to the profiled hose by means of respective insertion connections.

Abstract: A recipe is stored for an application where the recipe specifies parameters and actions for restoring, shutting down, and backing up the application. A snapshot backup of the application is copied from a backup system to a recovery system where the application is restored according to the recipe. After the application is restored, the application is shutdown. While the application is shutdown, the application is backed up to create an application-consistent backup of the application.
