  • Publication number: 20190047232
    Abstract: A composite assembly with a laminate of fibre plies impregnated with a laminate matrix material is disclosed having pad of fibre plies impregnated with a pad matrix material, and a part with a body with protrusions which extend from the body and penetrate at least some of the fibre plies of the pad. The pad is bonded to the laminate by a stepped lap joint or a scarf joint. The assembly is manufactured by pressing the protrusions into the pad, and after the protrusions have been pressed into the pad, curing a pad matrix material impregnating the pad, and bonding the pad to the laminate.

  • Patent number: 10108932
    Abstract: A candidate assessment system reviews gaming data from a plurality of players to determine how well those players fit a particular job opening. The system uses one or more interpretation metrics to derive skill sets for each player by analyzing game attribute data from game scenarios played by the player. Each interpretation metric is generally unique, allowing the candidate assessment engine to derive a player's skill sets in markedly different ways.

  • Publication number: 20180214909
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an object. A thermoplastic matrix material is melted to transform it into liquid matrix material. The liquid matrix material is fed into a chamber via one or more matrix inlets. A fibre is also fed into the chamber via a fibre inlet. The fibre in the chamber is contacted by the liquid matrix material. A coated fibre is extruded from an extrusion outlet of the chamber onto a substrate, the coated fibre comprising the fibre with a coating of the liquid matrix material, the substrate comprising a previously extruded coated fibre. The fibre moves in and out of the chamber at the same velocity relative to the chamber. The coating fuses with the previously extruded coated fibre and solidifies after it has fused with the previously extruded coated fibre. Relative movement is generated between the extrusion outlet and the substrate as the coated fibre is extruded from the extrusion outlet.

  • Publication number: 20180186177
    Abstract: The Roller Cover Remover design, use and specifications are included in the Specification section. The product will be produced through an injection molding process using softer plastics. It is designed to cleanly and easily move wet roller covers from the cage of a roller quickly and also to be closed with a cap allowing for storage for later use desired. The Roller Cover Remover will be produced using softer plastics which will allow a user to exert small amounts of pressure on the roller cover without damaging it. The Roller Cover Remover will have a series of small raised round bumps on the exterior to allow for a secure grip. The Roller Cover Remover will have a locking device to ensure device will be secure during the removal process and storage period if desired. The Roller Cover Remover will have a living hinge design made of soft, flexible plastic which will prevent wet paint from accumulating between piano type hinge sections so as to prevent any impediment to functionality.

  • Publication number: 20180178459
    Abstract: A first aspect of the invention provides a method of joining a part to a composite component, the composite component comprising fibres impregnated with a matrix material, and the part comprising a plurality of projections, the method comprising: inserting the projections into the composite component; and pre-heating the projections before they are inserted into the composite component, so that the projections are at a higher temperature than the composite component as they are inserted into the composite component. The projections locally heat the matrix material of the composite component as they are pushed into the composite component. Increased temperature during insertion is advantageous as the reduced matrix viscosity, due to the increased temperature of the matrix, results in better consolidation of the fibres around the projections and minimises the distortion of the fibres.

  • Publication number: 20180178460
    Abstract: A method of joining a first component to a second component. A membrane is provided between the first component and a fluid. Pressure of the fluid is used to apply a compression force to a first part of the first component via the membrane. The pressure of the fluid is also used to apply an insertion force to the second component which pushes projections of the second component into a second part of the first component. The method can be integrated into a conventional manufacturing method, such as a “vacuum-bagging” process, which employs fluid pressure and a non-permeable membrane to compress the first component. The pressure of the fluid is used not only to apply the compression force, but also to apply the insertion force to the second component.

  • Publication number: 20180001585
    Abstract: A filament is fed to an extrusion head. The filament has a semi-crystalline polymeric reinforcement portion and a polymeric matrix portion. The reinforcement and matrix portions run continuously along a length of the filament. The reinforcement portion has a higher melting point and a higher crystallinity than the matrix portion. The temperature of the filament is raised in the extrusion head above the melting point of the matrix portion but below the melting point of the reinforcement portion so that the matrix portion of the filament melts within the extrusion head, thereby forming a partially molten filament within the extrusion head. The partially molten filament is extruded from the extrusion head onto a substrate, the reinforcement portion of the partially molten filament remaining in a semi-crystalline state as it is extruded from the extrusion head.

  • Patent number: 9770876
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an object, a filament is fed to an extrusion head. The filament has a semi-crystalline polymeric reinforcement portion and a polymeric matrix portion. The temperature of the filament is raised in the extrusion head above the melting point of the matrix portion but below the melting point of the reinforcement portion so that the matrix portion of the filament melts within the extrusion head, thereby forming a partially molten filament within the extrusion head. The reinforcement portion of the partially molten filament remains in a semi-crystalline state as it is extruded from the extrusion head. Relative movement is generated between the extrusion head and the substrate as the partially molten filament is extruded onto the substrate in order to form an extruded line on the substrate. The matrix portion of the extruded line solidifies after the extruded line has been formed on the substrate.
