Abstract: A multi-segment tool and tooling system for vacuum forming a composite part. A tool can include a first tool having first and second surfaces. A second tool can have an opening positioned on a first tool in a location other than the first surface or the second surface. The first tool and second tool can receive at least a portion of a preform composite. The first tool can have a vacuum barrier attached to the first surface and to the second surface encapsulating the preform composite and the second tool. A tooling system can include a first tool having a core and a base with a core extending upwards from the base. A second tool can be positioned upon the core where the core extends above the second tool. A vacuum barrier sealed to the base and the core can include a composite, the first tool and the second tool.

Abstract: An engine nacelle inlet lip includes both acoustic treatment and electric heating for ice protection. The inlet lip has a composite outer skin and a composite inner skin, with the composite outer skin having at least one integrated heater element embedded in the composite material. An acoustic cellular core positioned between the outer and inner skin acts to attenuate fan noise from the engine. Covering the outer skin and overlying the acoustic core is a perforated erosion shield having a first set of openings that pass entirely thorough its thickness. The composite outer skin includes a second set of openings such that sound waves can pass from an inner barrel portion of the inlet lip through the erosion shield, outer skin, and heater element to the underlying acoustic cellular core.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wavelength spectroscopy device comprising, on a substrate SUB, a filter module made up of two mirrors MIR1, MIR2 that are spaced apart by a spacer membrane SP. The filter module comprises a plurality of interference filters FP1, FP2, FP3, the thickness of said spacer membrane SP being constant for any given filter and varying from one filter to another.

Abstract: An aircraft component includes a first segment having a first leading edge surface that extends to a first end of the first segment. The aircraft component also includes a second segment having a second leading edge surface that extends to a second end of the second segment. The second end is substantially adjacent to the first end of the first segment, and is connected to the first end. The first leading edge surface includes electrical resistance heating that extends to the first end of the first segment. In addition, the second leading edge surface includes electrical resistance heating that extends to the second end of the second segment. The electrical resistance heating is capable of providing ice protection heating immediately on either side of a juncture between the connected first and second ends.

Abstract: The process consists of selecting a sub-set of interfering cells and a sub-set of interfered cells among a set of a radio cells in a network, fixing a plurality of calculation parameters such as threshold levels for signal/interference ratios, parameters related to the power of interfering cells and the traffic channel, then determining the service area of the interfered cells and the area including inter-cell overlaps, then calculating the attenuation of the interfering cell and the attenuation of the serving interfered cell respectively, at each point or pixel in the overlap area. An estimate of the signal/interference ratio is made for each pixel starting from attenuations and parameters. The invention is used to isolate and identify interfering cells and interfered cells. The power in the interfering cells generating an excessive disturbance can thus be adjusted.
