Abstract: Systems and methods for a flexible container for transport and storage of a working material are described herein. The material can be a viscous or liquid material when dispensed. The flexible container can be configured to move between a first shape and a second shape. The first shape can allow for efficient transport of the flexible container while the second shape can allow for the flexible container to couple to a dispenser. In certain examples, the flexible container can be cooled for transport and heated for dispensing.

Abstract: A cap system for enclosing a metallic fastener assembly extending through a structure, which includes a first securement mechanism positioned about a periphery of a washer of the metallic fastener assembly wherein the first securement mechanism includes a first tab member extending in a direction transverse to a plane of a surface of the washer and a second tab member extending in a direction transverse to the plane of the surface of the washer spaced apart from the first tab member about the periphery of the washer. Cap system further includes a cap member which includes a sidewall having an inner surface which defines a cavity dimensioned to receive the washer and defines a second securement mechanism complementary configured to engage the first securement mechanism; and an end of the sidewall of the cap member defines an opening which provides the washer to have access into the cavity.

Abstract: A cap assembly for enclosing a metallic fastener which extends through a structure. The assembly includes a housing having an inner wall and an outer wall which extends about and is spaced apart from the inner wall defining a space positioned between the inner wall and outer wall. The assembly further includes a plunger member with a side wall portion secured to an end wall portion. The side wall portion of the plunger member has a thickness dimension smaller than a distance between the inner wall and the outer wall to position the sidewall portion of the plunger member within the space. With the side wall portion positioned within the space, the end wall portion is positioned in alignment with the inner wall and with an opening defined by and through the inner wall.

Abstract: A containment cap assembly for enclosing a metallic fastener extending through a structure includes an inner cap with a projection extending from an outer surface of the inner cap and an outer cap includes a first end which defines an opening and includes an inner surface which defines a first space within the outer cap in communication with the opening. A dimension of the opening and of the first space defined by the inner surface of the outer cap are each greater than a dimension defined by the outer surface of the inner cap such that with positioning the inner cap within the outer cap, a second space is defined between the outer cap and the inner cap. A slot of the outer cap extends first curvilinear direction such that the projection positioned within the slot moves along first curvilinear direction with moving the inner cap into the outer cap.

Abstract: A fluid testing system includes a component test housing that includes a plurality of walls connected to a base and a cover. A test chamber is defined between the plurality of walls, the base, and the cover. The test chamber is configured to receive a sample component to be subjected to a fluid test. Fluid inlet ports are formed through the component test housing. The Fluid inlet ports are configured to allow test fluid to flow into the test chamber from at least two different directions.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods provides for technology that applies, with a printhead of a printing system, ink to a substrate as the substrate remains stationary and the printhead moves across the substrate. The technology determines, with a distance encoder, a distance that the printhead has moved, and controls application of the ink from the printhead to the substrate based on the distance.

Abstract: A protective seal cap assembly for enclosing an end portion of a fastener extending through a structure, which includes a cap member. The cap member includes a sidewall which defines an opening and defines an interior space within the sidewall and aligned with the opening, wherein the sidewall defines a central axis. The cap member further includes at least one rib which extends away from an interior surface of the sidewall within the interior space and extends in a direction along the central axis of the cap member.

Abstract: A cap system for enclosing a metallic bolt fastener extending through a structure which includes a first securement mechanism positioned about a periphery of a bolt head of the metallic bolt fastener. The cap system further includes a cap member which includes a sidewall having an inner surface which defines a cavity dimensioned to receive the bolt head and defines a second securement mechanism complementary configured to engage the first securement mechanism positioned about the periphery of the bolt head. The cap system further includes an end of the sidewall of the cap member which defines an opening which provides the bolt head access into the cavity.
