  • Patent number: 12124481
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving one or more update requests; identifying, a set of foundational relationships for deletion from a graph database; inferring, using one or more relationship inference rules, a set of inferred relationships for deletion from the graph database; and deleting, from the graph database, the set of foundational relationships for deletion and the set of inferred relationships for deletion. Inferring the set of inferred relationships for deletion includes searching for relationships in the set of foundational relationships for deletion that match a relationship specified in a precondition of at least one of the one or more relationship inference rules; determining whether the precondition is satisfiable using at least one of the matching relationships; and, in response to the precondition being satisfiable, inferring at least one of the relationships of the set of inferred relationships for deletion using at least one of the matching relationships.

  • Patent number: 12084339
    Abstract: A partially foam encased pocketed spring assembly is made in a fully automated assembly machine. A first foam rail is introduced into the assembly machine and glued to upper and lower substrate webs. A first string of pocketed springs is then glued to a side surface of the first foam rail between upper and lower substrate webs and glued to the upper and lower substrate webs. Additional strings are joined together to create a pocketed spring interior. A second foam rail is then introduced into the assembly machine and glued to an outer string and to the upper and lower substrate webs to create a core. Third and fourth foam rails are glued to the core.

  • Patent number: 12077320
    Abstract: A method for producing a nacelle inlet assembly includes forming a composite panel that has a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) material. The composite panel is formed to have a curved contour that represents at least a portion of an annular barrel shape. The method includes applying a metallic coating to the composite panel to form a lipskin. The metallic coating is applied such that the metallic coating defines an exterior surface of the lipskin and the composite panel defines an interior surface of the lipskin. The method includes laser drilling a plurality of perforations through the lipskin. The laser drilling involves emitting a laser beam that impinges upon the interior surface of the lipskin and penetrates the CFRP material of the composite panel before penetrating the metallic coating and exiting the lipskin through the exterior surface.
