  • Publication number: 20250253376
    Abstract: Provided is a method of operating a flow battery. The method includes charging a first active material in the first electrolyte and a second active material in the second electrolyte, where during charging of the second active material a metal impurity is precipitated out of the second electrolyte. The method includes isolating the second electrolyte in a subflow structure of a dynamic fluidic network, where the flow battery is configured to circulate the second electrolyte within the subflow structure while the subflow structure is in isolation from a second electrolyte source. The method includes discharging the second active material, where during discharging the metal impurity is dissolved in the second electrolyte circulating within the subflow structure. The method includes removing the second electrolyte comprising the metal impurity from the subflow structure.

  • Patent number: 11801576
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assembling an airframe of an aircraft, including receiving a half barrel section of fuselage, advancing the half barrel section in a process direction across multiple stations to separately and simultaneously perform work on the half barrel sections, and subsequently joining the half barrel segments to form a section of the airframe. Each pair of half barrel sections, such as upper and lower half barrels, are progressed through assembly line processes to be delivered to a joining station for joining the half barrels together to form a circumferential section of the fuselage. Multiple joined circumferential sections are joined together to form an elongated extent of the fuselage. Indexing features are provided in the assembly process to monitor and control the progression of the half barrel sections in the work stations of the assembly line process.

  • Patent number: 11643224
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for inspecting a wing panel. Some methods include advancing a wing panel through a Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) station, and inspecting the wing panel with inspection heads at the NDI station. The wing panel may be suspended beneath a strongback during inspection and/or advancement, such as by using vacuum couplers and/or adjustable-length pogos of the strongback, and suspending may include enforcing a contour to the wing panel using the vacuum couplers and/or pogos. Other methods include receiving a wing panel at an NDI station and inspecting a portion thereof during movement through the NDI station. Some systems include a track, a strongback to suspend a wing panel beneath it and to advance along the track, and an NDI station disposed at the track to inspect the wing panel while suspended.

  • Patent number: 11609544
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to performing work on a working surface based on a desired path using a working member. The disclosed system advances the working member with respect to the desired path using a first positioning system and a second positioning system. The first positioning system comprises a frame and actuators operable to advance the working member with respect to a portion of the desired path within an adjustment region. The second positioning system comprises actuators operable to move the frame. By moving the frame using the second positioning system, the first positioning system advances the working member with respect to a portion of the desired path that was outside the adjustment region before the frame was moved.

  • Patent number: 11573713
    Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and devices for identifying and preventing invalid memory access. A method may include defining a dynamic scope for an operation, receiving a request to allocate a portion of the range of shared memory, allocating a monotonically increasing portion of the range of shared memory such that a subsequent request to allocate memory is allocated a different portion of the range of shared memory, receiving a request to deallocate the allocated portion of the range of shared memory, deallocating the allocated portion of the range of shared memory by protecting the deallocated portion of the range of shared memory from any subsequent access, and in response to an access of the protected deallocated portion of the range of shared memory by one of the one or more threads or processes of the operation, trapping and terminating the one thread or process.
