Title: Composite morphing skin for an aircraft
Inventor: MACHELL ANTHONY
IPC: B32B5/02
Filed: 2012-03-30
Abstract: A morphing skin for an air vehicle structure, the skin being formed by a composite material 1 comprising: a multiplicity of fibres 3, a matrix 5 incorporating the fibres, and a thermo-sensitive material 7, such as a thermo plastic. The thermo-sensitive material is reversibly transitionable in response to a change in temperature between an ambient temperature mode, in which the thermo-sensitive material is capable of transferring loads in the composite material, and a heated mode in which the ability of the thermo-sensitive material to transfer the loads is reduced. This allows the stiffness of the skin to be temporarily reduced to enable the skin to be morphed into a different shape. The skin may be connectable to a heating apparatus for heating the thermo-sensitive material. The fibres may be electrically conductive and the heating apparatus may be arranged to pass a current through the fibre to thereby heat the thermo-sensitive material. The fibres may be carbon fibres.

Title: Debris cleanup tool with flow reconfiguration feature
Inventor: MOIDEL JOE P
IPC: E21B27/00
Filed: 2012-02-29
Abstract: A debris cleanup tool uses a movable eductor to reconfigure the flow scheme through the tool. During the debris pickup mode, pressurized fluid is delivered to through the tubing to the eductor inlet. The outlet of the eductor is into the surrounding annulus where the flow splits with most going to the surface and the rest down and into a mill making cuttings. The flow into the mill takes the cuttings to a collection volume and then screens the internal flow stream before directing it into the eductor inlet. The eductor body can be repositioned to close the eductor outlet to the annulus and open the outlet into the housing to allow reverse flow. In one embodiment a ball is dropped and pressure is built to break a shear pin to shift the eductor body and to open a bypass around the ball.
