Abstract: A method and system for composite molding, and the method includes additively manufacturing a mold shell that includes a part forming cavity. The method includes filling at least a portion of the mold shell with a strengthening agent. The method includes hardening the strengthening agent to form a mold, and laying-up a composite material on the part forming cavity. The method includes curing the mold to form a composite part.

Abstract: A method for capturing trapped powder from a part during an additive manufacturing process, the method comprising defining parameters for a part, the part defining an interior passageway defined by interior sidewalls, defining parameters for a powder removal cap, the powder removal cap comprising a body portion and a thin radial membrane connected to the interior sidewalls of the part, simultaneously creating the part and the powder removal cap via additive manufacturing, wherein the powder removal cap is created within the interior passageway and, upon completion of the creation of the part and the powder removal cap, the powder removal cap traps excess powder within the interior passageway, removing the powder removal cap from the interior passageway by breaking the radial membrane from the interior sidewalls to permit access to the interior passageway, and capturing the excess powder within the interior passageway.

CPC classification number: B62D35/008

Abstract: A passively activated flow control device including a valve body configured to be mounted in a vehicle. The valve body includes an inlet and an outlet. A valve member is arranged at the valve body for selectively opening and closing flow between the inlet and the outlet. The valve member is responsive to acceleration induced forces on the vehicle to shift from one of an open configuration and a closed configuration toward the other of the open configuration and the closed configuration.

Abstract: An airflow management cover for a vehicle subsystem arranged proximate a section of the vehicle to guide oncoming ambient airflow when the vehicle is in motion includes a convex body. The convex body has an exterior surface shaped to redirect an external portion of the oncoming ambient airflow around the vehicle subsystem to thereby minimize aerodynamic drag and reduce aerodynamic lift on the vehicle body. The airflow management cover also includes an aperture defined by the convex body and configured to exhaust a stream of a subsystem portion of the oncoming airflow to rejoin with the redirected external portion of the oncoming airflow after the subsystem portion of the airflow has passed across the subsystem. The airflow management cover additionally includes a fastening flange extending from the convex body and configured for mounting to the vehicle section. A vehicle having such an airflow management cover is also disclosed.
