Abstract: Disclosed herein is a duplicator assembly for forming a first void, which can be layered, in a laminated material of a part that matches a second void in a scarf repair guide. The duplicator assembly comprises an arm that comprises a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is spaced apart from the second end portion. The duplication assembly also comprises a probe that is fixed to the first end portion of the arm and configured to trace the second void in the scarf repair guide. The duplication assembly further comprises a milling tool that is fixed to the second end portion of the arm such that the milling tool is co-movably coupled with the probe via the arm.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and media are directed to tuning a device. Values are stored for each of a plurality of device parameters based on device metrics. The device parameters are constraint-matched over changes to settings of the device parameters to identify at least one point within each range of the device parameters that optimizes a performance measure for the device. Tuning values are selected for each device parameter based on the identified point. The tuning values are provided for tuning the device. The device is tuned with roll-back based on the running values.

Abstract: Systems and methods to calibrate aircraft surfaces are provided. A particular method includes installing a set of laser targets. The set of laser targets includes at least first laser target and a second laser target. The first laser target is installed on a first side of a first aircraft surface and the second laser target is installed on a second side of the first aircraft surface at a known location relative to the first laser target. The method also includes determining a first position of the first laser target with a first laser device. The method further includes determining a second position of the second laser target with a second laser device. The method includes determining a position of the first aircraft surface based on the first position of the first laser target and the second position of the second laser target.

Abstract: A system for measuring a hole of a surface may include at least one light emitting member for emitting varied intensity flashes of light towards the hole of the surface. The system may further include a projector for projecting light beams onto the surface. The system may additionally include at least one camera for taking at least one picture of the hole of the surface each time the at least one light emitting member emits a flash of light towards the hole of the surface, and each time the projector projects light beams onto the surface. The system may also include a computer for determining measurements of the hole of the surface utilizing the at least one picture of the hole and Photogrammetry.
