Patent number: 11161592Abstract: A wing assembly for an aircraft includes a torque box sleeve having an open end and a plurality of integral sides including leading, aft, top and bottom sides that jointlessly form a continuous surface having a generally airfoil shape. The wing assembly includes an internal support subassembly having a plurality of ribs coupled to a central spar. The internal support subassembly is formed into a single component outside the torque box sleeve and inserted into the open end of the torque box sleeve as the single component. The internal support subassembly is coupled to an interior of the torque box sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: George Ryan Decker, Steven Allen Robedeau, Jr., Tjepke Heeringa, David Gordon Carlson

Patent number: 4222833Abstract: Disclosure is a method of treating a chlorine containing first gas stream in an electrolytic cell having an aqueous hydrochloride acid catholyte liquor containing catholyte compartment, an aqueous hydrochloric acid anolyte liquor containing anolyte compartment and an ion permeable barrier therebetween. According to the disclosed method the first gas stream is fed to the catholyte compartment, and an electrical current is passed through the cell to form chloride ion in the catholyte liquor. The first gas stream, depleted in chlorine content, is recovered from the catholyte compartment, while a second gas stream, containing mainly chlorine is recovered from the anolyte compartment.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1979Date of Patent: September 16, 1980Assignee: PPG Industries, Inc.Inventor: Gordon A.

Patent number: 4040934Abstract: Disclosed is a bipolar electrolyzer having a plurality of bipolar units space from and parallel to each other with a pair of bipolar units defining a single electrolytic cell therebetween. Each of the bipolar units has an anode on one surface and a cathode on the opposite surface, so that the cathode of one bipolar unit faces the anode of the next adjacent bipolar unit. A steel plate is one exposed surface of the backplate and a silicon sheet in electrical contact with the steel plate is the opposite exposed surface of the backplate. The steel plate and the silicon sheet are bonded together with a suitable electroconductive bonding material.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1975Date of Patent: August 9, 1977Assignee: PPG Industries, Inc.Inventors: Howard H. Hoekje, Gordon A. Carlson, Robert B. Simmons
