摘要： An apparatus and method for joining structural members to form preforms and structural assemblies are provided. The structural members are positioned so that joining surfaces thereof define an angled aperture, such a slot or frustoconical bore, that receives a corresponding joining member. The joining member is urged into the aperture against the joining surfaces and moved, for example, by oscillating or rotating the joining member, to friction weld the joining member to the structural members. Each structural member can include a clamping portion that is received by a clamping device that prevents the aperture from opening as the joining member is urged into the aperture. A gripping portion of the joining member and the clamping portions of the structural members can be trimmed from the resulting preform to form a finished structural assembly.

摘要： A preform and method for forming preforms and structural members are provided. The preform can be formed by cold spraying a structural material onto a base member, such that the preform has dimensions approximating the dimensions of the machined structural member to thereby reduce material waste and machining time when forming the structural member from the preform. In addition, the preforms can be plastically deformed to more closely correspond with the desired dimensions of the structural member. Further, hydrogen can be provided in a mixed stream of gas and structural material for spraying, and the resulting structural member can be subjected to a sub-atmospheric pressure to release hydrogen therefrom.

摘要： A structural assembly and a preform and method for forming the structural assembly are provided. The preform can be formed by linear friction welding structural members to a base member and friction welding each structural member to at least one of the other structural members. The resulting preform can be formed with dimensions and a configuration that approximate the dimensions and configuration of the structural assembly. Thus, the structural assembly can be formed by joining multiple members that are generally smaller than the finished assembly.

摘要： An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising an oscillator capable of generating a clock signal, wherein said apparatus is capable of clock noise mitigation using a frequency adaptive algorithm, technique, process or system. And wherein said oscillator may be a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) operating near a desired frequency used to generate an output signal. The clock noise mitigation may accomplished by portion of said VCO signal being fed into a first dividing circuit capable of dividing by a given number M, and a second dividing circuit, N, wherein said first and second dividing circuits may be capable of producing a signal close to the frequency of a reference oscillator, said VCO signal may then be compared via a phase comparator to a reference frequency and wherein the phase comparator signal may then be fed back to the VCO such that its frequency will “lock” to said reference oscillator. The M and N dividers may be set to enable the frequency increments to be as small as desired and may be dynamically programmable. Depending on the communication channels being used, the frequency of the clock may modified either up or down to avoid interference.

摘要： A method for forming an aluminum alloy article having improved mechanical properties using a solid-state joining process in which the problem of ductility reduction is minimized by conducting a thermal exposure treatment prior to solution heat treatment. This thermal exposure treatment, done at a temperature below the solution heat treatment temperature, releases stored energy in the aluminum-alloy material. The aluminum-alloy material then does not have sufficient energy to cause recrystallization and abnormal grain growth during the subsequent solution heat treatment process. The resultant aluminum-alloy material has a restored mechanical strength with only a minor, but acceptable, decrease in original ductility.
