Method And System For Forming Composite Geometric Support Structures
US Patent:
8444900, May 21, 2013
Filed:
Aug 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/542555
Inventors:
Erich A. Wilson - Provo UT, US

Assignee:
Sigma-Tek, LLC - Lindon UT
International Classification:
B29C 70/44
US Classification:
264258, 156173, 264319
Abstract:
A method and system for fabricating a geometrically versatile composite lattice support structure having a seamless three-dimensional configuration. The lattice support structure is created by forming two or more cross supports, such as helical, longitudinal, circumferential and/or lateral cross supports, which intersect to form a plurality of multi-layered nodes. The lattice support structure may be designed without any protrusions extending outward from the overall geometry, thus enabling efficient tooling, and thus enabling ease of mass production. The lattice support structure may comprise a completely circumferentially closed geometry, such as a cylinder, ellipse, airfoil, etc. The method for fabricating the lattice support structure comprises laying up a fiber material, in the presence of resin, within rigid channels of a rigid mold, thus creating a green, uncured three-dimensional geometry of unconsolidated cross supports and multi-layered nodes where these intersect. Subjecting these to a curing system functions to consolidate the cross supports and multi-layered nodes to produce the composite lattice support structure.

Collapsible Mandrel Tools And Associated Methods For Fabrication Of Wound Composite Articles
US Patent:
2010007, Mar 25, 2010
Filed:
Aug 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/542613
Inventors:
Erich A. Wilson - Provo UT, US
Michael D. Kipp - Highland UT, US
Michael D. Ridges - American Fork UT, US
Michael D. Kipp - Highland UT, US

International Classification:
B29D 22/00, B29C 53/00, B29C 53/42
US Classification:
428 341, 425441, 156189
Abstract:
Mandrels of various configuration, and action, including collapsible mandrels, to be used in forming composite articles with preselected three dimensional shapes and construction are disclosed and described. In one aspect, such a mandrel may have a plurality of discrete segments coupled about a longitudinal axis and collectively forming an enclosure with a substantially continuous exterior working surface. The working surface can have a network of intersecting grooves formed therein, and such grooves can cooperatively establish a substantially continuous interconnected lattice corresponding to the three dimensional geometric configuration to be imparted to a composite article formed. The mandrel may optionally include a removable core assembly to aid in collapse of the mandrel.
Composite Boundary Layer Turbine
US Patent:
2013003, Feb 14, 2013
Filed:
Nov 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/508245
Inventors:
Erich A. Wilson - Provo UT, US
Drew Holt - Minneapolis MN, US
Drew Holt - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
NP Technologies - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
F01D 1/08
US Classification:
415 68
Abstract:
A turbine includes a plurality of stacked disks, each disk comprising an opening in the center of the disk, which forms a central flow chamber. The turbine further includes a first disk that is coupled to a bottom of the plurality of stacked disks. The first disk does not have an opening in the center like the stacked disks. There is a plurality of disk spacers positioned between one or more of the plurality of stacked disks, thereby creating flow channels between the disks. The flow channels extend from an outside perimeter of the stacked disks to the central flow chamber. A tapered armature is coupled to the first disk and positioned within the central flow chamber, and a fluid collection unit is in communication with the outside perimeter of the stacked disks.
Covered Composite Lattice Support Structures And Methods Associated Therewith
US Patent:
2011028, Nov 17, 2011

Erich A. Wilson - Provo UT, US
Assignee:
Sigma-Tek, L.L.C. - Provo UT
International Classification:
B32B 3/12, B29C 70/30
US Classification:
428178, 156293
Abstract:
Three-dimensional carbon fiber based composite support structures and methods for the manufacture and use thereof are disclosed and described. In one aspect, such a support structure may include a lattice of intersecting support members made of a carbon fiber composite material and a cover of the same carbon fiber composite material as the lattice, fused to at least one side of the lattice and covering at least a portion thereof.
Lattice Support Structures
US Patent:
2010006, Mar 18, 2010
Filed:
Aug 17, 2009

International Classification:
E04H 12/02, E04H 12/00
US Classification:
5230916, 526532
Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to a lattice support structure, comprising a plurality of fiber-based cross supports intersecting one another to form a multi-layered node. The multi-layered node can be consolidated within a rigid mold in the presence of resin, heat, and pressure. In another embodiment, a lattice support structure can comprise a first cross support comprising fiber material; a second cross support comprising a fiber material, said second cross support intersecting the first cross support; and multi-layered nodes located where the first cross support intersects the second cross support. The multi-layered nodes can comprise at least two layers of the first cross support separated by a least one layer of the second cross support. Also, one of the first cross support or the second cross support can be curved from node to node.
