  • Patent number: 11962809
    Abstract: Methods of encapsulating a bitstream include generating reference information to enable image items identifying image portions of a bit stream to be referenced to corresponding description information. The resulting encapsulated file may also include information identifying a timed portion of the data stream corresponding to a video sequence. Description information may include spatial parameters, such as position and width and height of sub-parts of an overall image, and/or display parameters such as colour display, pixel aspect ratio, and clean aperture parameters.

  • Publication number: 20220314558
    Abstract: Tooling for manufacture of an apertured element made of a composite material includes first and second sole plates and tooling elements. Each sole plate is configured to be placed on either side of the apertured element to be manufactured. The tooling elements are placed between the first and second sole plates. The tooling elements include at least one core and peripheral bars. The core is configured to delimit a cell of the apertured element to be manufactured. The core is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates. The peripheral bars are placed on a periphery of the core and configured to delimit the apertured element to be manufactured. At least one peripheral bar is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates.

  • Patent number: 9162747
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a sound attenuation panel having a first cellular core structure and a second cellular core structure joined in a junction area (J). The method includes: a) a joining edge of the first cellular core structure is joined to a corresponding joining edge of the second cellular core structure, thereby forming the junction area; b) the first cellular core structure and the second cellular core structure are placed between an inner skin and an outer skin of the panel. In particular, the method further has a step prior to step a), in which one junction reinforcement is inserted between the joining edge of the first cellular core structure and the corresponding joining edge of the second cellular core structure in the junction area.

  • Patent number: 8636107
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for repairing a portion of an acoustic panel for a nacelle of an aircraft turbojet engine. The panel includes an acoustic skin in which a plurality of acoustic holes are drilled, a solid skin, and a cellular acoustic structure. The cellular acoustic structure, being arranged between the acoustic skin and the solid skin, has a plurality of cells, each of which has one or more drainage openings arranged in one or more of the walls forming each cell. The method includes a step of: defining a part of the acoustic panel to be cut; forming a cutting area closed by the acoustic skin; injecting a resin through the acoustic holes; positioning a replacement cellular acoustic structure in the cutting area and on the acoustic skin; forming a solid replacement skin on the replacement cellular acoustic structure.
