Patent number: 11636235Abstract: A system, apparatus, and/or method is disclosed for designing a real-world space. For example, image data for an image of the space may be received. The image data may comprise a surface that is modifiable via an architectural material. Measuring rules for determining estimated real-world dimensions of the surface of the space may be executed. The measuring rules may be based on the received image data of the space. The estimated dimensions may comprise a length, width, and/or height of the surface of the space. A type and/or quantity of the architectural material for modifying the surface of the space may be determined based on the estimated dimensions of the surface of the space. A modified image of the space may be displayed in which the surface of the space is modified with the architectural material. The determined type and/or quantity of the architectural material may be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: AWI Licensing LLCInventors: Matthew S. Cramer, Sean D. Browne, William H. Frantz, Steven P. Wilkinson, Jeffrey D. Fulmer

Patent number: 5618367Abstract: A process for preparing uni-tape prepreg from polymer powder coated filamentary towpregs is provided. A plurality of polymer powder coated filamentary towpregs are provided. The towpregs are collimated so that each towpreg is parallel. A material is applied to each side of the towpreg to form a sandwich. The sandwich is heated to a temperature wherein the polymer flows and intimately contacts the filaments and pressure is repeatedly applied perpendicularly to the sandwich with a longitudinal oscillating action wherein the filaments move apart and the polymer wets the filaments forming a uni-tape prepreg. The uni-tape prepreg is subsequently cooled.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1995Date of Patent: April 8, 1997Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Steven P. Wilkinson, Norman J. Johnston, Joseph M. Marchello

Patent number: 5434224Abstract: A polymer composition especially suitable for producing fiber-reinforced structures having advantageous fracture toughness comprises a polyarylsulphone component and a thermoset resin component, each of which components is present at least partly as a phase continuous in at least one dimension. Preferred polyarylsulphones contain repeating units (PhSO.sub.2 Ph).sub.n and (Ph).sub.a linked through ether and/or thioether, where Ph is phenylene, n=1 to 2 and a=1 to 3; and such polyarylsulphones having amino end groups are provided as new compounds. The compositions can be made by spinodal decomposition of a mixture of the polyarylsulphone and a thermoset resin precursor.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1993Date of Patent: July 18, 1995Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries PLCInventors: Patrick T. McGrail, Mark S. Sefton, Judith A. Peacock, Gregory R. Almen, Steven P. Wilkinson
