Abstract: A braided sleeve with complex geometry, including changes to the geometry along the braided sleeve's longitudinal axis are described. In particular, along a first portion of the braided sleeve's longitudinal axis, multiple tows are intertwined with each other. Along a second portion, one of tows is removed from being intertwined with the other tows and is relocated to an interior or an exterior of the braided sleeve. A third portion includes the removed tow being intertwined with the plurality of tows again. In this manner, the braided sleeve may provide coverage of preforms with varying diameters along the longitudinal axis of the preforms.

Abstract: A three-dimensional braid includes a plurality of first plaits adjacent one another oriented in a first direction and a plurality of second plaits adjacent one another oriented in a transverse second direction intertwined forming a braid with each first plait intersecting each of the plurality of second plaits in succession. Each first plait includes a first group of tows and a second group of tows, each of the tows in the first group of tows corresponding to one of the tows in the second group of tows in pairs of first plait tows. Each second plait includes a plurality of tows. For each first plait, one of the first plait pairs crosses over a subset of second plait tows at each intersection of the first plait and successive second plaits forming a series of braid points along the first plait.

Abstract: A system and method directed to an inflatable aerial beam transported by aerial vehicles for dispensing, among others, power and fluids using the inflatable aerial beam that may be mounted between two or more aerial vehicles. The beam, may become rigid when inflated or flexible when deflated. The beams may be coupled to one or more aerial vehicles via a pivotable joint or a flexible juncture to maintain flexibility of movement of the aerial beams. The beams may include a fluid dispenser that distributes fluid to spray nozzles to dispense fluids from the inflatable beam. The fluid, chemicals, and/or power may be obtained from a remote fixed or mobile source, one or more aerial vehicles, and other types of aerial vehicles. The aerial vehicles may be controlled remotely from a fixed location or from a movable remote-control source and may include sensors for navigation and for controlling the dispensing of the fluid or power.

Abstract: A composite structural component including a braided material embedded in a resin matrix. the braided material with multiple braided components formed of continuous tows and connected by one or more intersections are described. Each of the multiple braided components is formed by sets of tows. Each set of tows includes a respective plurality of tows, which are substantially adjacent and parallel to each other at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the braided material. Each set of tows is further composed of multiple subsets of tows. The subsets of tows separate at the intersections and combine with different subsets of tows in adjacent components of the multiple braided components.
