Abstract: A fall protection system includes a base assembly, a mast assembly, and a locking assembly adapted to lock the mast assembly with the base assembly. The locking assembly includes a first plate and a second plate. The locking assembly also includes a fixed member fixedly coupled to the second plate. The locking assembly further includes a locking pin including an elongate portion at least partially received within the fixed member and a first tab, the locking pin being movable relative to the fixed member between an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the engaged position, the first tab is at least partially received within a first groove such that the locking pin is engaged with the first plate. Further, in the disengaged position, the first tab is at least partially received within a second groove such that the locking pin is spaced apart from the first plate.

Abstract: An intelligent control system for directing a process for curing parts made of fiber-reinforced composite material in an autoclave. The system uses data gathered during the curing processing to calculate repetitively the temperature of the autoclave required to establish and maintain a predetermined cure temperature. The system accounts for heat generated by the exothermal reaction of the resin during polymerization. The control recalculates an optimal autoclave temperature at periodic intervals during the cure cycle on the basis of temperature data from the part being cured and temperature within the autoclave. The optimal autoclave temperature is determined from calculated values representing resin heat, maximum offset, lag time and degree of cure of the resin.
