  • Publication number: 20240116652
    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.

  • Patent number: 7927637
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method to make a blue colorant as a liquid and as a powder, wherein the blue colorant is derived from unprocessed raw juice obtained from Genipa americana fruit pulp, and wherein said raw juice is mixed with glycine (liquid) or with glycine plus starch (powder). Except for an additional step of warming up the juice-glycine mix, and in the case of the powder further dehydration of the juice-glycine-starch remix, no further steps are required to make a temperature and PH stable blue colorant which may be applied in textile, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, and other industries.

  • Publication number: 20080260484
    Abstract: A milling headstock for rivet stems includes a mouth for the introduction of the stem. A milling machine can be displaced towards the mouth by a previously established length, in order to trim the stem of the different rivets made in a piece. The mouth has a dimension equal to or less than the head of the rivet so that, after introducing the stem via the mouth, the latter at all times rests on the surface of the head of that rivet in such manner that the milling machine is then displaced through the previously established length.

  • Patent number: 7328866
    Abstract: Double-bottom tank and mixing auger for chopping animal feed, of the type that is transported using a trailer or that are incorporated into a self-propelled vehicle. The said tanks are used to chop and mix animal fodder ingredients, preferably in agricultural installations. The invention is characterized in that it comprises an irregularly-shaped insert, close to the center of the tank, and in that two blades are disposed at 180° at the center of the mixing auger, thereby improving the operating torque and preventing any unnecessary accumulation of the product.

  • Patent number: 6584246
    Abstract: A source, system and method for generating amplified stimulated emission is provided. The source includes a pump source for generating a pump light which is provided to a doped element, such as a doped fiber. Based on the pump light, the doped fiber, which may be a erbium doped fiber, generates the amplified stimulated emission. A coupler mechanism provides the pump light to the doped fiber and transmits the amplified stimulated emission from the doped fiber. The coupler mechanism isolates the pump light and the amplified stimulated emission using phase conditions. A system is also provided including a source and a sensor, such as a fiber optic gyroscope. A method for generating the amplified stimulated emission is further provided.

  • Patent number: 5488683
    Abstract: The ends of a pair of polarization-maintaining optical fibers that each have an elliptical stress member in the cladding to produce stress induced birefringence are placed end-to-end with a predetermined gap between the ends of the fibers. The ends of the fibers are examined with an optical imaging apparatus whose focus is adjusted to locate an alignment band in each fiber. The position of one of the polarization-maintaining optical fibers is then adjusted until the two alignment bands are in longitudinal alignment. The fiber ends are pre annealed and then fused together by application of energy from an electric arc.
