  • Patent number: 11999113
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to polymer-containing composite materials and to unusually low-pressure consolidation methods for forming composite parts from such materials. More specifically, for example, the disclosure relates to use of a certain “PEEK-PEDEK” copolymer in low-pressure consolidation methods, using as little as 1 bar pressure (or using atmospheric pressure acting on a consolidation that is held under vacuum) to provide composite parts that are substantially void-free.

  • Publication number: 20220253413
    Abstract: A block chain data lake system comprises a data lake of a plurality of data files and software applications interfacing the data files. The system further comprises a block chain and block chain controller therefor. A transaction controller monitors transactions performed on the data files by functions of the software applications to add hashes to blocks of the block chain using the data files. A verification controller may verify data files by searching the block chain for hashes matching the data files. An authentication controller may issue cryptographic keys for software application, including specific functions thereof. A data migration system may migrate data from a legacy data system to the block chain data lake system. A synchronisation controller may synchronise data updated by software applications of the legacy data system in substantial real-time.
