Title: Systems and methods for using light to indicate inconsistency locations on a composite structure
Inventor: ENGELBART ROGER W
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2005-04-11
Granted: 2009-07-21
Abstract: A method for using light to indicate locations of flaws and defects on a composite structure generally includes electronically accessing positional data defining one or more defect locations on a composite structure. The positional data can be extracted from a part fabrication file in which resides numerical control (NC) data that can be used by a material placement machine to fabricate the composite structure. The method also includes automatically causing at least one light source to direct light at the composite structure to indicate the defect locations as defined by the positional data.  Accordingly, the light allows the defect locations to be readily ascertained for later action, such as manual defect repair and/or FOD removal by an operator.

Inventor: KEANE LAWRENCE
IPC: G06M1/24
Filed: 2001-06-23
Granted: 2009-02-24
Abstract: A pre-metered dose assembly for consistently supplying precise doses of medicament is provided for a breath-actuated dry powder inhaler. The assembly includes a cap defining a dry powder delivery passageway for providing air to dry powder supply port of a swirl chamber of a breath- actuated dry powder inhaler, and a magazine including a plurality of reservoirs for holding pre- metered doses of dry powder. One of the magazine and the cap is movable with respect to the other of the magazine and the cap for sequentially positioning the reservoirs within the delivery passageway of the cap.
