The present invention relates to using an adhesive and process for heating, curing, joining, attaching and detaching a part article from a body substrate structure. Described are polymeric adhesive compositions and methods of curing using a radiation apparatus for rapid adhesive bonding and attaching a fastener part to a structure surface. The adhesive composition contains additives that directly or indirectly absorb projected radiation from a radiation apparatus to rapidly and uniformly melt the adhesive and bond the surface of the part material onto the surface of the substrate material. A process is also described to reverse the adhesive bonding and detach the fastener part from the substrate.

Adhesive and process for attaching and detaching articles

The present invention relates to a composite article and to a process for manufacturing the composite article. The composite article comprises multiple layers including high tenacity fibers incorporated into a fabric and a core thermoplastic resin. The fabric may be coated with a surface treatment agent, a polymer matrix resin. Single or multiple layers of the composite articles may be formed into a composite part having high strength, rigidity, fast molding cycle time and extremely good conformability in a 3-dimensional mold. The composite parts formed by this process have high part strength in all directions.

Composite article and method of manufacture

An optical system for joining a first article having a composition and a second article having a composition at an interfacial surface between the first article and the second article, the optical system comprising: a radiation source for providing a radiant energy beam for joining the first article and the second article at the interfacial surface; and a first optical device for controlling a depth of focus of the radiant energy beam, the depth of focus corresponding to a depth of a joint between the first article and the second article at the interfacial surface, said first optical device controlling the depth of focus as a function of the composition of the first article and the composition of the second article.

Radiation welding and imaging apparatus and method for using the same

A method and apparatus for exposing photosensitive recording material is presented. The invention provides for using chromatic lenses to focus polychromatic light onto recording media. The resulting chromatic aberrations contribute to exposing recording media in three dimensions. The method and apparatus presented also provide for improved quantum efficiency in the exposure of photosensitive recording material.
