Patent CA-2672927-A1 (CA)
Title: Indirect image control using a surrogate image
Inventor: EILERS LABAN D
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2008-01-02
Abstract: A system and method for allowing a user to exercise control over a first image that is not directly accessible because it is covered by a second image. Electronic product designs for online user editing are assembled from multiple overlying images. If a content image in a design is positioned beneath a second image, such as an image that adds a visual effect to the content image, a transparent surrogate image of the same size and the same position in the product design as the content image is positioned above the second image. The surrogate image is linked to the content image such that user selection of the surrogate image is interpreted by the system as a request by the user to select the content image, giving the user the impression that the user is directly accessing the content image.

Abstract: A composite material elongate structural member, such as a spar (102), for use in an aerospace structure, comprises a web (108) disposed between upper and lower flanges (104, 106). The web (108) may include a clockwise twist about an axis (164) parallel to the length L at a first portion towards the wing-root-end of the spar (102) and a counter-twist in the anticlockwise direction at a second portion towards the wing-tip-end of the spar (102). The geometry of the spar (102) may vary non-linearly along its length (L) so that the developed width of the spar as measured from a distal edge of the upper flange (104) via the web (108) to a distal edge of the lower flange (106) varies linearly with increasing distance along the length (L). The risk of causing, during fabrication of the spar (102), undesirable creasing, stressing or stretching of composite material layers in a region in which the geometry of the member (102) varies non-linearly may be reduced by means of such an arrangement.
