  • Patent number: 8337972
    Abstract: A honeycomb core includes a first wall, a second wall, and a conductor disposed between the first wall and the second wall. The first wall and the second wall define a cell through which the conductor extends. A sandwich panel includes an upper skin, a lower skin, and a honeycomb core adhesively bonded to the upper skin and the lower skin. The honeycomb core includes a first wall and a second wall defining a cell. The sandwich panel further includes a conductor disposed between the first wall and the second wall and extending through the cell.

  • Patent number: 7345616
    Abstract: A radar-absorbing panel (9) includes a honeycomb core (11) and a lower skin (13), where the lower skin (13) is attached to the bottom of the honeycomb core (11). The honeycomb core (11) is made up of individual cells (15), which may be filled with aerogel. The individual cells (15) are approximately ½ of an inch in size with polygonal shape.

  • Patent number: 5164242
    Abstract: A composite structure (64) is disclosed for placement on an air, land or sea vehicle to attenuate electromagnetic waves and to break up ice accumulation which might occur under adverse weather conditions. The upper section (22) of the structure comprises a nonmagnetic, pneumatic deicer having a deformable sheet formed of a woven cloth substrate and a fluid-impervious resilient coating, and fluid passages for inflating the deicer section. The deicer section is attached to an underlying section (28) which provides electromagnetic wave attenuating properties. The lower section may be a dual band absorber having an upper elastomeric layer and a lower elastomeric layer loaded with magnetic particles, or the elastomeric deicer section may itself serve as the upper elastomeric layer with the magnetic particle layer.
