  • Patent number: 11479004
    Abstract: A method for creating a honeycomb core having venting pathways includes controlling where a resin is applied to sheets to form the venting pathways. A honeycomb substrate is then formed from the sheets.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: John C. Wilde, Xiaoxi Wang, Jason W. Drexler
  • Patent number: 11292206
    Abstract: A method for creating a honeycomb core having venting pathways includes controlling where a resin is applied to sheets by creating a resin affinity portion and a resin repellant portion on the sheets. The resin affinity portion and the resin repellant portion forms the venting pathways. A honeycomb substrate is then formed from the sheets.

  • Patent number: 11292225
    Abstract: A honeycomb core includes a honeycomb substrate comprised of a number of sheets. A number of traces are printed onto the sheets of the honeycomb substrate. A number of integrated electronic devices are disposed within the honeycomb substrate. The integrated electronic devices are electrically coupled to the traces.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210363748
    Abstract: The present teachings generally relate to an acoustic panel including a backing layer, honeycomb core attached to the backing layer, a mesh layer attached to the honeycomb core, and a face sheet including a flexible acoustic fabric face sheet attached to the mesh layer. The acoustic fabric face sheet can provide improved sound dampening characteristics over, for example, a perforated face sheet, and at a lower manufacturing cost, weight, and a simplified manufacturing process. The acoustic fabric face sheet can be or include a flexible woven and/or knitted fabric including a polymer such as an aromatic polyamide that includes a meta-aramid fiber, or a fiberglass fabric.

  • Publication number: 20140010907
    Abstract: One embodiment of a method of manufacturing a textured surface may include providing a first thermally stable sheet, printing a pattern of material on the first sheet to form a three-dimensional textured surface, and curing the material, then using said first sheet to impart negative texture into Tedlar faced epoxy composite blanket, which is in turn used to impart texture into a decorative laminate.
