Publication number: 20100068464Abstract: A method of preparing a component (60) to be joined to another component (55). The method comprises growing an array of projections (56, 57) on a bond region of the component (55) in a series of layers, each layer being grown by directing energy and/or material from a head to selected parts of the bond region. The joint may be used to join a pair of structural components, for instance in an aerospace application. For instance the joint may be used to join a reinforcing plate, floating rib foot, or stringer to a panel such as a wing or fuselage cover. Alternatively the joint may be used to join adjacent layers in a laminate structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2008Publication date: March 18, 2010Applicant: AIRBUS OPERATIONS LIMITEDInventor: Jonathan Meyer

Patent number: 7666492Abstract: A surface of a substrate is coated with a sol solution containing metal alkoxide. A gelled material of the sol solution is pressed against a molding tool while the gelled material is kept soft. Thus, the gelled material is molded. Then, the gelled material is hardened. As a result, protrusions of the hardened gel layer 14 are formed on the substrate so that an irregular texture substrate is formed. A multilayer thin film constituted by a plurality of layers of at least two kinds of materials with different refractive indexes is laminated on a surface of the irregular texture substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2004Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Nippon Sheet Glass Company, LimitedInventors: Katsuhide Shimmo, Yasuji Sasaki, Masahiro Oikawa, Keiji Tsunetomo

Publication number: 20100028610Abstract: A decorative member includes a transparent layer, a first decorated layer, and a second decorated layer. The first decorated layer is disposed on the transparent layer's rear surface. The second decorated layer is disposed on the transparent layer's rear surface. The transparent layer's rear surface has an irregular configuration that includes indented portions and indent-free portions. The indented portions dent toward the transparent layer's front surface. The indent-free portions protrude toward the transparent layer's rear surface. The first decorated layer is disposed directly on the rear surface of the transparent layer partially. The second decorated layer is made of a film that includes resin, and is laminated on the first decorated layer and on the transparent layer's rear surface entirely.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2009Publication date: February 4, 2010Applicant: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Tetsuya Fujii, Chiharu Totani, Takayasu Ido

Publication number: 20100027124Abstract: An anti-glare film is provided and includes a substrate and an anti-glare layer which is formed on the substrate and contains fine particles. The anti-glare layer has micro concave/convex shapes on the surface. The micro concave/convex shapes of the anti-glare layer are formed by coating the substrate with a coating material containing the fine particles and aggregating the fine particles by a convection of the coating material. A thickness of the anti-glare layer is equal to or larger than a mean diameter of the fine particles and is equal to or less than three times as large as the mean diameter of the fine particles. The fine particles are constructed substantially by fine particles having particle sizes less than twice as large as the thickness of the anti-glare layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2008Publication date: February 4, 2010Applicant: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Tsutomu Nagahama, Yumi Haga, Hitoshi Watanabe, Shinichi Matsumura

Patent number: 7651758Abstract: A wear surface system and method for preparing same. The wear surface system 10 has a substrate 12 with a surface 13 in which is defined three-dimensional, micro-metered prismatic anchoring sites 14. The sites include hairs that are separated by at least some spaces 16. To the textured surface 18 is applied a coating 24. The coating has substantially conforming three-dimensional features that mate with at least some of the anchoring sites. Upon solidification, the coating becomes hardened and is relatively immune from delamination due to internal and externally applied stresses during exposure to normal wear conditions. One method for improving the wearability of a surface comprises the steps of (1) providing a substrate; (2) texturizing its surface so that it is at least partially imbued with a three-dimensional, micro-metered, prismatic set of anchoring sites; and (3) coating at least a part of the textured surface with a mating coating that becomes hardened upon solidification.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Endres Machining Innovations LLCInventor: William J.
