Abstract: Tools and methods are disclosed for automatically capturing debris generated during rivet installation using an autoloading rivet gun. In some examples, an autoloading rivet installation device includes a hand-held rivet gun and an automatic loader which uses a first actuator having a shaft oriented parallel to a longitudinal plane of the rivet gun. A second actuator is coupled to the rivet gun and has an orientation orthogonal to the first actuator, such that the second actuator is configured to transition a magnet laterally between a plurality of positions relative to the longitudinal plane to capture ferromagnetic debris. The magnet may, for example, be disposed on a load arm of the loader, and the second actuator may be configured to translate the loader's first actuator from side to side.

Abstract: A method is provided for measuring and quantifying optical distortion of a transparent object using a single image. Embodiments provided herein include a method including: receiving an image of an object and a transparent object, where the object is visible through the transparent object, where a portion of the image of the object is visible through the transparent object is an inside region of interest (iROI), where a portion of the image of the object not viewed through the transparent object is an outside region of interest (oROI); determining measured pixel locations for a plurality of identified pixels in the image, the plurality of identified pixels corresponding to the distinct points in the image; calculating virtual locations in the image representing the distinct points within the iROI; determining, for respective distinct points within the iROI, differences between the virtual location and the measured pixel location.

Abstract: A structural blind sleeve includes a monolithic body. The monolithic body has a sleeve shank having an elongated tubular structure defining a proximal portion and a distal portion, the sleeve shank having a structural portion proximate the proximal portion, a threaded portion proximate the distal portion, and a softened portion between the structural portion and the threaded portion. The structural portion is capable of carrying a clamp-up structural load. The monolithic body further includes a sleeve head connected to the proximal portion of the sleeve shank.

Abstract: A method of generating a recursively mapped infill geometry for an additively manufacturable part. The method includes receiving a base unit cell mesh including a plurality of base quadrilateral elements. In each of a plurality of iterations, the method further includes receiving a target unit cell mesh including target quadrilateral elements. In each iteration, the method further includes generating a target hexahedral unit cell mesh including target hexahedral elements by extruding the target quadrilateral elements. In each of the iterations, the method further includes generating a recursive supercell mesh by mapping each of the base quadrilateral elements onto a target hexahedral element. If the current iteration is not a final iteration, the method further includes setting the recursive supercell mesh as the base unit cell mesh used in a subsequent iteration. The method further includes outputting a recursively mapped unit cell mesh including a final recursive supercell mesh.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying, by a computing device, a plurality of information associated with a flight simulation. A plurality of frame arrivals can be constructed based upon, at least in part, the plurality of information associated with the flight simulation. The plurality of frame arrivals can be packetized into a plurality of data packets. The plurality of data packets can be multiplexed to generate multiplexed data packets. A total amount of bandwidth needed for the flight simulation can be predicted based upon, at least in part, the multiplexed data packets.

Abstract: Methods, servers, and computer program products are provided to link files stored in a data repository. A file to be stored in the data repository is received, via a network, from a terminal. The method includes determining whether the file has a file metadata card associated with the file. The method further includes responsive to the file having a file metadata card associated with the file: executing at least one rule responsive to receiving the file being stored in the data repository to validate the file metadata card. The method further includes responsive to a result of the at least one rule executed indicating a successful result, storing the file metadata card associated with the file and the file in the data repository.

Abstract: There is provided a segmented vacuum jacketed tank system. The system includes a segmented structurally integrated vacuum tank having a vacuum tank main portion between vacuum tank end portions. The vacuum tank main portion includes a vacuum tank skin having an outer surface and an inner surface, vacuum tank skin segments, and a longitudinal cross section with a profile geometry configured for buckling prevention for the vacuum tank skin under external pressure loads. The vacuum tank main portion includes multipurpose stiffener member(s) configured to carry one or more of system transport line(s), a liquid fuel, or a nitrogen gas in an interior. The system includes a pressure tank within the segmented structurally integrated vacuum tank. The pressure tank is configured to store a cryogenic fluid and includes a pressure tank main portion between pressure tank end portions. The system further includes a vacuum cavity.
