    摘要: Wing-to-fuselage joints and aircraft including the same. An aircraft includes a fuselage with an outer fuselage skin that at least partially defines an outer surface of the fuselage and a wing assembly operably coupled to the fuselage via a wing-to-fuselage joint. The wing assembly includes a left wing region with a lower left-wing-region skin and an upper left-wing-region skin, a right wing region with a lower right-wing-region skin and an upper right-wing-region skin, and a center wing region with a lower center-wing-region skin and an upper center-wing-region skin. The upper center-wing-region skin is coextensive with at least one of the upper left-wing-region skin and the upper right-wing-region skin.

    摘要: Systems for additive manufacturing comprise a delivery guide configured to dispense a curable material to additively manufacture a part in sequential layers of the curable material, and a source of curing energy configured to direct the curing energy to a discrete region of the curable material forward of or at a location where a subsequent layer of the curable material is dispensed from the delivery guide against a preceding layer of the curable material to cure together the subsequent layer and the preceding layer. Methods of additively manufacturing comprise dispensing a subsequent layer of a curable material against a preceding layer of the curable material, and concurrently with the dispensing, directing curing energy to a discrete region of the curable material to cure together the subsequent layer and the preceding layer.

    摘要: Tools for rotating fasteners, methods of utilizing the tools, and methods of manufacturing the tools. The tools include a gripping region, a fastener receptacle, and an interlock structure. The gripping region is configured to be gripped by a user of the tool. The fastener receptacle is shaped to receive the fasteners and includes a fastener-receiving opening on a fastener-facing side of the tool. The fastener-facing side faces in a fastener-facing direction. The fastener-receiving opening is sized to permit the fastener to enter the fastener receptacle from the fastener-facing side of the tool. The interlock structure is configured to interlock with the fastener while the fastener is received within the fastener receptacle. The interlock structure also is configured to prevent motion of the tool away from the fastener in a fastener-opposed direction, which is opposed to the fastener-facing side of the tool, while the interlock region is interlocked with the fastener.

    摘要: Fuel cells utilizing liquid sodium-potassium alloy (NaK) reducing agent and fuel cell systems including the same. The fuel cells include a housing defining a housing volume and a reducing agent-containment structure defining a reducing agent-containment volume. The fuel cells also include a volume of NaK reducing agent extending within the reducing agent-containment volume and an anode conductor extending in electrical contact with the NaK reducing agent such that the NaK reducing agent forms at least a portion of an anode electrode of the fuel cell. The fuel cells further include a cathode electrode that extends within the housing volume and is spaced-apart from the NaK reducing agent, an electrolyte present within the housing volume, and an oxidizing agent supply structure configured to provide an oxidizing agent to the housing volume.

    摘要: Portable traction splints and methods of use in applying traction to an injured patient's limb, or limbs, are disclosed. The disclosed traction splints may be extendable from a collapsed configuration adapted for transportation and storage towards an extended configuration adapted for applying traction to an injured patient, using telescoping members. One or more straps may be provided for securing the traction splint to the patient. One or more of such straps may include a tourniquet portion and/or may be selectively oriented in different directions relative to the telescoping members. The disclosed traction splints may include a traction mechanism that utilizes a mechanical advantage in applying traction to the patient's limb. Such traction mechanisms may have a traction cord path that utilizes the same hardware as an adjustment mechanism that selectively allows or prevents one of the telescoping members from moving with respect to another.

    Systems and methods for viscous material vacuum deaeration, and systems and methods for depositing compounds in a structure

    摘要: Presently disclosed systems and methods for depositing a compound into a void in a sandwich panel or other structure are configured to reduce the air pressure in and around the void as the compound flows into the void, thereby reducing the amount of air trapped between the compound and the sandwich panel skin (under the compound, within the void) during the repair. Additionally or alternatively, presently disclosed systems and methods for deaerating a compound are configured to remove trapped air from the compound prior to use of the compound (e.g., prior to depositing the compound within a void for repairing the void). In some examples, the same system is configured to both deaerate the compound and deposit the deaerated compound to the void, all while in a reduced air pressure environment inside a vacuum chamber.
