Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide coordinated route distribution for one or more mobile structures. A coordinated route distribution system includes a route generator and/or distribution server and various route retrievers, each of which are used in conjunction with operation of corresponding coordinated mobile structures to retrieve routes from the route generator and/or distribution server. The route retriever includes and/or is configured to communicate with a logic device, a memory, one or more sensors, one or more actuators/controllers, and modules to interface with users, sensors, actuators, and/or other modules of a mobile structure. The logic device is adapted to receive the routes and/or directional data corresponding to the mobile structure and adjust a directional control signal provided to an actuator of the mobile structure accordingly.

Abstract: A method of resin transfer molding uses an open base mold filled with fiberglass material and a soft tool sealed over the base mold. A vacuum is applied to a vacuum chamber that surrounds the mold and communicates with the fiberglass material through vacuum conduits. Resin is injected into the closed mold and is drawn through the fiberglass material to the edge of the mold with the assistance of the vacuum. The soft tool is preferably a flexible sheet having an edge seal to connect to the base mold and a vacuum channel with a vacuum port that surrounds the mold. The injection head releasably connects to the soft tool and preferably uses a solenoid actuated injector to supply resin to the mold. The injection head can include a self sealing device to seal the injection port and a self cleaning mechanism for flushing resin from the interior chamber of the head.
