7819362, Oct 26, 2010

Filed:

Mar 1, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/681147

Inventors:

John C. Hale - McMinnville OR, US
Christopher B. Harris - Amity OR, US
William D. McCune - Tehachapi CA, US

Assignee:

Evergreen International Aviation, Inc. - McMinnville OR

International Classification:

B64D 1/16

US Classification:

244136, 239171, 169 53, 1378992

Abstract:

An enhanced aerial delivery system addresses issues raised when large quantities of fluids, powders, and other agent materials are to be transported in and aerially dispersed by aircraft. Some aspects include positioning and securing of tanks aboard the aircraft to facilitate management and safety of the tanks and aircraft. Other aspects address coupling of the tanks and associated piping to lessen structural effects upon the aircraft. Further aspects deal with channeling, containing, and dumping stray agent materials that have escaped from the agent tanks on board the aircraft.

Appl. No.:

11/613719

Inventors:

An Yan - Sammamish WA, US
Christopher J. Harris - Issaquah WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717140

Abstract:

Improved systems and methods for developing rule packs can include receiving monitoring rules specified in a markup language, and combining them to produce a rule pack. Combining processes can leverage product development processes such as Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), thereby allowing any number of developers to work on the same rule pack simultaneously. Common settings may be added to rule packs in an automated, platform-specific way, thereby eliminating the need for rule writers to concern themselves with such common settings. Rule packs may be converted from a markup language to a binary file for use by a monitoring service.

US Classification:

156227, 156267, 156247, 156259, 156264

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing curved composite structural elements can include fabricating a web ply in a flat curve over a removable substrate and laying up the ply on a curved web surface of a manufacturing tool. The method also can include laying up a diagonal ply with fibers oriented at +/−45 from the centerline of the web surface. The method further can include cutting a unidirectional composite tape into segments and laying up the tape segments to form a cross ply with a fiber orientation normal to the centerline of the web surface. One or both edges of the diagonal and cross plies may be folded over one or two sides of the manufacturing tool to form one or two flange surfaces. Additionally, a cap ply can be laid up on one or both flange surfaces using composite tape. The structural element layup can then be inspected and any excess composite material can be trimmed away.

Abstract:

A method of forming a radius filler may include providing an upper portion having substantially constant width composite plies, providing a base portion as a stack of variable width composite plies, and stacking the upper portion onto the base portion to form a radius filler stack.
