A filler preform in a wedge form includes reinforcing fiber bundles consisting of reinforcing fiber filaments, wherein the filaments are directed parallel to each other within the fiber bundle, wherein the fiber bundle contains a first resin composition in a concentration in the range from 1 to 10 wt. % relative to the fiber weight, wherein the fiber bundles have a length in the range from 2 to 20 mm and at least 60% of the fiber bundles are reversibly fixed in a curved form within the wedge filler preform whereby flanks of the curved fiber bundles create an opening angle of less than 120° and the opening angle of the curved fiber bundles relates with an opening angle of the wedge form of the wedge filler preform. A method for producing the wedge filler preform and a method for producing a reinforcing fiber composite include a filler perform.

A wireless device () sets up a first radio connection to a first access node (--) of the wireless communication network. The first radio connection is based on a first radio technology. The wireless device () measures first signal strengths of reference signals from access nodes (--) operating on the basis of the first radio technology. Further, the wireless device () measures second signal strengths of reference signals from one or more second access nodes (--) which operate on the basis of a second radio technology. In response to the measured second signal strengths satisfying a first set of conditions, the wireless device () sends a first type of measurement report to the first access node. In response to expiry of a time interval without having sent the first type of measurement report, the wireless device () stops the measuring of the second signal strengths. In response to the measured first signal strengths satisfying a second set of conditions, the wireless device () sends a second type of measurement report to the first access node (--). In response to the sending of the second type of measurement report, the wireless device receives () configuration information for restarting said measuring of the second signal strengths from the first access node (--).

A pre-impregnated yarn including a bundle of reinforcing fiber filaments having a bundle interior and a bundle outer side, a first resin composition, and a second resin composition. The first resin composition includes at least one urethane resin, H1, produced from a reaction of a bifunctional aromatic epoxy compound based on bisphenol A, an aromatic polyisocyanate, and a polyalkylene glycol; an oxyalkylated bisphenol A resin, H2; and aromatic polyhydroxy ether P1. The filaments are impregnated with and at least partially connected via the first resin composition. The first resin composition is present in a concentration of 0.1 to 4 wt % relative to a total weight of the pre-impregnated yarn. The second resin composition is on the bundle outer side in the form of particles or drops adhering to the filaments, and is in a concentration of 0.5 to 14 wt % relative to the total weight of the pre-impregnated yarn.

A fiber preform for producing fiber composite structures, a wall thereof including a first zone made from reinforcing fiber bundles having a first resin composition and a second zone made from at least one fiber tape comprising at least one unidirectionally directed reinforcing yarn strand having a second resin composition. The reinforcing fiber bundles in the first zone are oriented in different spatial directions to each other when viewed in a direction parallel to the extension of the thickness. Each reinforcing fiber has a length of from 3 to 50 mm, and contains the first resin composition in a concentration of from 1 to 10 wt % of the fiber weight. The wall of the fiber preform has a proportion of reinforcing fibers of more than 35 vol %, and the second zone forms a discrete region when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the thickness extension of the wall.

A process for producing fiber preforms for composite material components makes it possible to directly produce complex geometries in a flexible and low-cost manner by applying a plurality of dry fiber rovings independently of one another even in spatially uneven contours. It is no longer necessary to use cut fabric strips since fiber preforms are produced straight from the dry fiber rovings. This obviates the need to carry out production, transport and order picking processes. It is not necessary to cut fiber strips to size, and therefore a saving may be made on material. In addition, it is possible to increase the mechanical characteristic values in the composite material because it is not necessary to sew fiber webs. The described process can also readily be scaled since the number of dry fiber rovings arranged next to one another make it possible to vary the area which can be covered.

Process for producing fibre preforms

A yarn includes reinforcing fiber filaments and a resin that is infiltrated into the yarn and can be repeatedly melted and solidified by cooling to room temperature, wherein the filaments of the yarn are at least partially bound to one another by the resin, wherein the yarn contains 2.5 to 25 wt.% of infiltrated resin relative to its total weight, and wherein the infiltrated resin includes a mixture of at least two epoxy resins Eand E, Ehaving an epoxy value in the range of 2,000 to 2,300 mmol/kg of resin and Ehaving an epoxy value in the range of 500 to 650 mmol/kg of resin, and the weight ratio E:Eof the epoxy resins Eand Ein the mixture is chosen so that the infiltrated resin mixture has an epoxy value between 550 and 2,100 mmol/kg of resin. A preform comprising the yarn, a method for producing the preform and its use in producing a composite are also described.
