Patent number: 8518518Abstract: A fiber structure that can be embedded in a matrix for obtaining a piece made of composite material, includes a first fiber element having a first support surface, at least one L-shaped fiber element having a base that is flattened against the support surface of the first fiber element at a junction zone and a wing that is not flattened against the first fiber element, and another fiber element having one part flattened against the wing of the at least one L-shaped fiber element. The elements are assembled by tapping fibers from a second surface of the first fiber element so as to form loops, at least certain fibers being oblique relative to the second surface, in a plane that is perpendicular to the junction zone, wherein certain loops of the oblique fibers protrude to the outside of the outer surface of a wing of at least one L-shaped fiber element.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2009Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Airbus Operations SASInventors: Philippe Blot, Julien Charles, Mathieu Piana, Xavier Legrand, Joel Besnier

Patent number: 8361911Abstract: A weaving method that makes it possible to directly produce three-dimensional structures having two-dimensional walls with corners, without requiring sewing or other joining between two edges. The weave is created by turning weft threads (24) into warp threads to create at least one face. The method is particularly suitable for weaving reinforcing pieces for composite structures such as three-dimensional corner reinforcements.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Airbus Operations SASInventors: Xavier Legrand, Mathieu Piana, Georgi Tsarvarishki, Julien Charles, Philippe Blot, Dominique Guittard

Patent number: 8001998Abstract: A weaving loom including a mechanism drawing-in threads, for insertion of picks, and for formation of a weaving shed, so as to render possible formation of a continuous angle or corner by a thread during weaving. The loom preferably also includes a vertical offset system, so that it is possible to weave a three-dimensional surfacic structure, the threads of which are continuous between the faces and at the level of the edges. The loom can be configured particularly for manufacture of continuous tridedral corners that are used as reinforcements for composite structures.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Airbus Operations SASInventors: Xavier Legrand, Georgi Tsarvarishki, Julien Charles, Philippe Blot

Patent number: 7035451Abstract: A method of creating a depth map including the steps of assigning a depth to at least one pixel or portion of an image, determining relative location and image characteristics for each at least one pixel or portion of the image, utilizing the depth(s), image characteristics and respective location to determine an algorithm to ascertain depth characteristics as a function relative location and image characteristics, utilizing said algorithm to calculate a depth characteristic for each pixel or portion of the image, wherein the depth characteristics form a depth map for the image. In a second phase of processing the said depth maps form key frames for the generation of depth maps for non-key frames using relative location, image characteristics and distance to key frame(s).Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2001Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Dynamic Digital Depth Research Pty Ltd.Inventors: Philip Victor Harman, Simon Richard Fox, Mark Robert Dowley, Julien Charles Flack

Patent number: 6432478Abstract: A ceramic heat barrier coating is deposited on a substrate so that the coating has a columnar growth pattern which is interrupted and repeated a number of times throughout its thickness by successive regermination of the ceramic deposit. The regermination is obtained by a vapor phase deposition process wherein a polluting gas is introduced intermittently during the deposition of the ceramic. The resulting ceramic coating has a lower thermal conductivity than conventional columnar ceramic coatings.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2001Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Societe Nationale d'Etude et de Construction de Moteurs d'Aviation “Snecma” and Snecma ServicesInventors: Yann Philippe Jaslier, André Hubert Louis Malie, Jean-Pierre Julien Charles Huchin, Serge Alexandre Alperine, Romain Portal
