    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to the construction of handgrips and the method of assembly onto a handlebar. In one disclosed embodiment, the handgrip comprises a substrate configured to receive a clamp, and a guard configured to protect the clamp. Further, the handgrip comprises an overmold grip configured to conceal the clamp and guard and also receive the hand of an operator or user. The clamp is engaged onto the handlebar and acts as a coupling mechanism so that the handgrip is more easily removable from handlebar. Among other things, the present disclosure solves problems related to manufacturing and assembly.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing an adaptable pre-cast resin-infused carbon-fiber beam, which method includes the steps of arranging a plurality of elongate carbon-fiber blocks side by side; arranging sheets to enclose the blocks and to extend over opposing faces of adjacent blocks; arranging the sheets to converge as an outwardly projecting elongate bead at a junction between adjacent blocks; and pulling on the elongate bead to inhibit resin flow between blocks during a resin infusion step. Also provided is a pre-cast adaptable carbon-fiber beam manufactured using that method; a method of manufacturing a wind turbine rotor blade; and a wind turbine rotor blade.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite part includes forming an initial radius filler on a composite panel. The initial radius filler is formed from a plurality of plies of composite material stacked on the composite panel. The method includes forming a radius of curvature on at least one side of the initial radius filler, positioning a composite stiffener on the composite panel, wherein the composite stiffener is contoured to define a radius gap when joined with the composite panel, positioning the composite stiffener against the at least one side of the initial radius filler, compressing the composite stiffener, composite panel, and initial radius filler via vacuum bag, and heating the initial radius filler to at least one of a cure temperature, a melting temperature, or a fusing temperature to form, from the initial radius filler, a radius gap filler in the radius gap.

    Abstract: Liquid shim injection devices and methods for injecting liquid shim material into a gap between adjacent components of an assembly. The liquid shim injection devices comprise a body, which comprises an injection shaft, a liquid shim conduit defined within the body and configured to channel liquid shim material within the injection shaft, and a fluid-permeable region formed along the injection shaft, an actuated fluid seal operably coupled to the injection shaft and configured to be selectively conformed among a plurality of conformations, and a fluid seal actuator assembly configured to transition the actuated fluid seal among the plurality of conformations. Methods comprise inserting the injection shaft into a bore that extends through the adjacent components of the assembly, forming a fluid seal between the liquid shim injection device and an interior component of the assembly, and flowing the liquid shim material from the liquid shim injection device into the gap.
