Abstract: A single-skinned composite lattice sandwich structure includes a face sheet, fiber stringers, and at least one fiber tow arranged in a lattice structure separating the face sheet and fiber stringers. The face sheet and at least the fiber tow(s) forming the lattice may be interfused with a matrix to form a contiguous composite structure. The fiber stringers may be formed of various materials for imparting different structural properties to the sandwich structure, including carbon fiber for tensile strength and lightness, metallic or other rigid material for imparting overall structural rigidity, shape-changing material or actuated material for providing actuated deformation of the structure, and may also include sensors.

Abstract: A composite lattice structure formed of one or more face sheets connected with lattice members, where the lattice members are formed of single or multiple contiguous fiber tows, and the lattice members and face sheets are interfused in a matrix.

Abstract: Embodiments herein described relate to a method of making composite lattice structures by threading one or more fiber tows through a removable pattern in a lattice configuration, covering the pattern and lattice members in one or more face sheets, and interfusing the assembly of pattern, lattice members and face sheets with a matrix.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using private keys in software development that minimizes the risks of the private key being lost or stolen. A strong name consists of the assembly's identity, e.g., its simple text name, version number, and culture information (if provided), plus a public key and a digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file using the corresponding private key. The private/public key pair is persisting in a password-encrypted file using a standard encryption format that can be made available to everyone. The first time any subsystem of the development environment requires use of the private key contained in an encrypted file format, the developer is prompted to provide the password to decrypt the key. The user supplies the password and the public/private key is imported into a non-exportable key container in the local cryptographic store.

Abstract: A system and method that allows developers to debug a component while it is restricted by any arbitrary set of specific permissions, or restricted by an existing permission set associated with a security “zone.” A security sandbox is mimicked within the development environment so that developers can study how applications perform inside the sandbox. Developers are able create any sandbox and debug inside it, where violating any bound of the artificial sandbox will throw a security exception and drop the user out on the exact line of code which generated the error, as well as provide helpful information about how to correct the error.
