20150007928 | Fibre-Wound Structures with Reinforcement Ribs - A method of forming an external rib on a helically wound article is disclosed. The method includes the steps of, in any suitable order, forming bunched strands or tows of continuous fibre, each bunch being held taught in-line with the major axis of the intended rib and successively winding each bunch or tow between successive sequentially helically wound fibres around an article former whereby the bunched strands or tows are each separated by helically wound strands of fibre, to thereby form on completion a wound article having integrally formed external support ribs of generally pyramidal section. A similar method is provided for forming an internal rib in a helically wound article. | 01-08-2015 |

20150129117 | METHOD AND UNIT FOR FORMING TUBULAR LENGTHS OF WEB MATERIAL PARTICULARLY IN A LABELLING MACHINE - An example includes a method for forming tubular lengths of linear web material. The example can include winding a portion of linear web material in a tubular configuration such that opposite vertical ends of said linear portion overlap. The example can include welding said overlapping ends to fix said linear portion of linear web material in sleeve configuration. This welding can include heating up at a first temperature a first region of said portion over the whole of which said ends overlap and heating up at a second temperature lower than said first temperature a second region of said portion adjacent to said first region, said ends of said portion of linear web material overlapping over only a part of said second region. | 05-14-2015 |
20150336325 | A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SPIRALLY WINDING A THERMOPLASTIC PROFILE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF WELDED PLASTIC TUBES - A method of spirally winding a thermoplastic profile in the manufacture of welded plastic tubes and a winding apparatus for manufacturing a spirally wound tube. A thermoplastic profile is received on a plurality of sliding members being arranged in an axial direction of the tube to be manufactured and defining an essentially cylindrically shaped winding surface with a diameter essentially corresponding to the inner diameter of the tube. The profile is directed along a spiral path towards the previous turn of the profile in order to force opposite edges of the profile together for welding. The radial position of the sliding member is adjusted to control the tension in the thermoplastic profile and the force with which it constricts itself around the winding surface as defined by the sliding member. | 11-26-2015 |

20160108676 | REINFORCED DIRECTIONAL DRILLING ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF FORMING SAME - Reinforced directional drilling assemblies and methods of forming reinforced directional drilling assemblies are provided. Strengthening materials may be incorporated into a resilient layer and/or a polymer-based composite material within a directional drilling assembly to improve the durability and performance of a power section within the directional drilling assembly. Inclusion of strengthening materials within a directional drilling assembly may provide a method to detect the status of a power section and send a signal from downhole upon detecting status of the power section. Inclusion of strengthening materials also may provide a method to collect data about operating conditions, including pressure, temperature, torque, RPM, stress level, shock, vibration, downhole weight on bit, and/or equivalent circulating density to send to the surface or to MWD/LWD systems. The strengthening materials may collect data by themselves or in conjunction with a sensor. | 04-21-2016 |
20160159058 | Apparatuses and Methods for Bonding Substrates - A method includes rotating a drum about an axis and an anvil roll about an axis of rotation. The drum includes a fluid nozzle and a press member, the press member having an outer surface. The anvil roll includes a compliant outer circumferential surface. One or more substrates are advanced in a machine direction onto the drum. The fluid nozzle moves radially outward and a jet of heated fluid may be directed onto the substrates. The fluid nozzle retracts radially inward and the press member may be shifted radially outward. The substrates may be compressed between the press member and the anvil roll such that the press member deforms the compliant outer circumferential surface of the anvil roll. | 06-09-2016 |
