A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for manufacturing an unconsolidated composite material. Sensor data is received from a sensor system for a composite material manufacturing system, wherein the sensor data is received during manufacturing of the unconsolidated composite material by the composite material manufacturing system. A set of predicted properties is determined for a number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material as completed from manufacturing by the composite material manufacturing system using the sensor data. A quality level for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material is identified based on the set of predicted properties for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material.

An isolation system and method are disclosed. The isolation system includes a beam that includes a first end and a second end. The isolation system may include at least one clamping block comprising first elastomeric material, and the first end may be coupled with the first elastomeric material by the at least one clamping block. An end condition of the buckling beam may be varied based on compression stiffening of the first elastomeric material.

A system, apparatus, computer program product, and a method for manufacturing an unconsolidated composite material. Sensor data is received from a sensor system for a composite material manufacturing system. The sensor data is received during manufacturing an unconsolidated composite material by the composite material manufacturing system. A set of predicted properties is determined for a number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material using the sensor data. The set of predicted properties is for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material as a completed product. A corrective action is performed based on a quality level for the number of portions of the unconsolidated composite material.

A mechanically actuated transmitter is disclosed. The transmitter can comprise a magnetoelastic member; a magnet adjacent to the magnetoelastic member for inducing magnetization in the magnetoelastic member; a mechanical driver for applying mechanical stress to the magnetoelastic material, thereby changing the magnetic permeability of the magnetoelastic material to change an external magnetic field.

Mechanically actuated magnetostrictive transmitter

The impedance of a loopstick antenna is directly modulated utilizing a mechanically actuated magnetoelastic material preferably placed in the core (or center) of looped wires forming the loopstick antenna. Using one or more mechanical actuators the permeability in the center of the loopstick antenna can be modulated at a rapid rate (such as with data or audio information), allowing the magnetic field outside of the antenna to be modulated at large bandwidths without requiring switches or modulators capable of high voltage thus reducing the overall complexity and cost of the transmitter. The external magnetic field is created by an AC source which is preferably impedance matched to the loopstick antenna by means of a matching network and is FM modulated according to a modulating signal applied to the one or more mechanical actuators.

The magnetoelastic element is oriented parallel to the magnetic field source. The magnetic field source is configured to induce a magnetic flux in the magnetoelastic element, and the actuator is configured to induce harmonic vibration in the magnetoelastic element. The magnetoelastic element is oriented parallel to the magnetic field source. The harmonic vibration of the magnetoelastic element is configured to change a net magnetic dipole of the magnetic transmitter due to magnetostriction.

Each radial isolator includes an elastomer dome, a chamber at least partially defined by the elastomer dome, and a fluid in the chamber. The multi-axis isolator also includes a fluid track placing the chambers of the radial isolators in fluid communication with each other. The axial isolator includes an elastomer dome, a backpressure membrane, a primary chamber, a backpressure chamber, a fluid in the primary and backpressure chambers, a conduit placing the primary chamber in fluid communication with the backpressure chamber.
