Abstract: An apparatus includes a first composite support structure and a second composite support structure. The first and second composite support structures are in a predetermined position relative to one another. The apparatus further includes an uncured pre-preg ply, wherein: the uncured pre-preg ply overlies at least a portion of the first composite support structure; the uncured pre-preg ply overlies at least a portion of the second composite support structure; and the first and second composite support structures are each stiffer than the uncured pre-preg ply.

Abstract: An adhesive system (100) for attachment to a contact surface (122) of an object (120) comprises a backing (110), carbon nanotubes (130), charged nanoparticles (150), and an electrical source (160). The carbon nanotubes (130) each have a first end region (132) and a second end region (134), opposite the first end region (132). Each of the charged nanoparticles (150) is coupled to the second end region (134) of at least one of the carbon nanotubes (130). The electrical source (160) is configured to selectively electrically charge the backing (110) to cause an electrical repulsion force between the backing (110) and the charged nanoparticles (150). The first end region (132) of each of the carbon nanotubes (130) is coupled to the backing (110). The second end region (134) of each of a number of the carbon nanotubes (130) is coupled to none of the charged nanoparticles (150).

Abstract: A dimmable window apparatus is provided. The dimmable window apparatus includes a window including a first linear polarizing film and a second linear polarizing film, the first linear polarizing film and the second linear polarizing film having respectively a first axis of polarization and a second axis of polarization, the second axis of polarization being electronically-controllable. The apparatus further includes a processor coupled to the second linear polarizing film, and configured to control the second axis of polarization to thereby control the opacity of the window that is defined by the first axis of polarization and the second axis of polarization relative to one another.

Abstract: An aircraft propulsor that includes a load bearing moveable panel is described herein. In one example, the moveable panel can be coupled to a propulsor structure to receive loads from the propulsor structure. Such loads can include roll and/or torque loads generated by rotation of a core engine of the aircraft propulsor. The moveable panel can be coupled to the propulsor structure through a plurality of coupling portions on one or both of the moveable panel and the propulsor structure.

Abstract: A method and system for inspecting a structure. The method may comprise sending a pulsed wave signal into the structure from a transmitter array. The method may detect a response signal in response to sending the pulsed wave signal into the structure at a group of receivers in a receiver array. The method may identify a group of time delays between sending the pulsed wave signal and may detect the response signal generated in response to the pulsed wave signal at the group of receivers. The method may identify a group of intensities for the response signal detected at the group of receivers. The method may determine a distance to a reflector within the structure using the group of time delays and the group of intensities.
