Abstract: A system and method for locating an object within a structure includes a magnetically-responsive member coupled to the object. A magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field in the presence of the structure. The generated magnetic field causes the magnetically-responsive member to output a signal when the magnetically-responsive member is in the presence of the magnetic field. A detector may include a sensor coupled to a control unit. The sensor detects the signal output by the magnetically-responsive member. The control unit locates the object based on detection of a third harmonic of the signal.

Abstract: A structure is provided that is at least partially adhered by a light-curable adhesive. The structure includes first and second structural components disposed in a facing relationship. The structure also includes a light-curable adhesive impregnated within at least one of the first and second structural components or disposed between the first and second structural components. The structure of this example embodiment further includes one or more side-emitting light guiding members, such as side-emitting optical fibers, positioned between the first and second structural components and in communication with the light-curable adhesive. The one or more side-emitting light guiding members are configured to emit light along a length of the one or more side-emitting light guiding members. Corresponding methods to assemble the structure and to cure the light-curable adhesive within the structure are also provided.
