Larry E. Stanley has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Resistive-heated composite structural members and methods and apparatus for making the same
    Publication number: 20030173715
    Abstract: Composite structural members, methods, and apparatus for making the same are described. The composite members are formed by resistive heating of the composite material using an electric current with sufficient voltage through the composite. The resistance of the composite material creates an energy loss in the form of heat, melting the matrix of the composite material and allowing the composite material to be shaped in any desired manner.

  • Formed composite structural members and methods and apparatus for making the same
    Publication number: 20030175520
    Abstract: Formed composite structural members and methods and apparatus for making the same are described. The composite members are formed by using a continuous roll pressing process or apparatus, or a consolidated cold press process. Using these processes, the composite members are formed with a better surface finish using shorter cycle times and without spreading of the tows.
