  • Vacuum port base
    Patent number: 10773428
    Abstract: A vacuum port base comprises an upper face, a lower face, a first channel, and a second channel. The upper face is configured to interface with a vacuum port. The lower face is configured to interface with a surface of a tool. The first channel formed in the lower face is configured to receive an edge breather. The second channel formed within the vacuum port base is configured to receive the vacuum port such that the vacuum port is in fluid communication with the first channel and the edge breather to remove gases from a composite structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Modular portable accelerated cure system
    Patent number: 10507602
    Abstract: A modular accelerated cure system, for which the modules are of a size and weight to each be easily portable by one person, may be configured to fit a variety of parts, e.g., carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components, such as found in the manufacture of composite aerospace structures. The system may be used to accelerate the cure of materials that allow elevated temperature cures, e.g., sealants, primers, coatings, paints, adhesives, and protective coatings, by increasing the ambient temperature surrounding a part, or a portion of the part, within each module in a controlled manner. The system is modular in that a number of modules may be fitted together to operate in unison and also may be adapted to fit parts of a variety of contours, shapes, and sizes. Temperature within each module may be controlled using a heat controller that receives a temperature indication from each module.
