Abstract: A hand-mounted inspection system, configured to be mounted on a user's hand, comprising: an imaging unit, configured to provide images from at least one point of view located on the user's hand; and a measuring unit, configured to provide data relating to a physical property measured at a measurement location on the user's hand. The measuring unit includes a sensor configured to provide a measurement between two measurement locations, each of the two measurement locations being located on a digit of the user's hand, a tip of a digit of the user's hand, on the phalanges of a digit of a user's hand, on the palm of the user's hand or on the back of the user's hand.

Abstract: A clamping mechanism for machining a composite component. The clamping mechanism comprising two or more opposing clamping plates, each clamping plate comprising a clamping surface; and wherein each clamping surface is adaptable to follow the microstructural surface of the composite component being clamped. The clamping surface may comprise a plurality of deformable micropillars featuring a body that extends to a base on the clamping plates and a head that deforms to follow the microstructural surface of the composite component. The clamping surface in use may be an exact negative of the microstructural surface of the component clamping surface. Each clamping surface may comprise a disposable insert that replicates exclusively at the point of contact the microstructural surface of the component being clamped.

Abstract: A method of forming a protective coating includes providing a substrate including a major surface. The method further includes providing a top coat layer adjacent to the major surface of the substrate. The top coat layer includes a top coat surface distal to the substrate. The method further includes forming a plurality of slots in the top coat layer. The method further includes at least partially heating the top coat surface above a threshold temperature, such that a first portion of the top coat layer extending from the top coat surface partially melts to form a glazed layer, and a second portion of the top coat layer disposed between the glazed layer and the major surface of the substrate is not melted and includes at least a portion of each of the plurality of slots.

Abstract: A scanning fixture for use in moving a tool across a surface of an object is arranged to be attached to the object and comprises: a carriage arranged to have the tool connected thereto; and a frame arranged to be mounted on the object and to have the carriage mounted thereon. The frame comprises: a first mount arranged to be mounted on the object; a second mount arranged to be mounted on the object; a carriage support arranged to extend between the first and second mounts, across a surface of the object, and to have the carriage moveably connected thereto. The carriage support is a modular carriage support, comprising a plurality of modules rotatably mounted on an elongate member. The plurality of modules together form a path along which the carriage can move. The tool may be a probe for use in inspecting the object. The fixture may comprise one or more encoders arranged to generate position data for the carriage.
