Described herein is an apparatus for applying and curing a light-curable material on a work surface. The apparatus includes a nozzle from which the light-curable material is applied to the work surface to form a layer of light-curable material on the work surface. The layer of light-curable material has a leading edge and a trailing edge defined according to a direction of movement of the nozzle relative to the work surface. The apparatus also includes a light source fixed relative to the nozzle. The light source is operable to direct a light beam to the trailing edge of the layer of light-curable material.

Light-curable material applicator and associated methods

An active vibration control actuator mount including at least one actuator bracket having an actuator interface member configured to hold one or more active vibration element thereon in one or more predetermined orientations, and an engine mounting structure interface member connected to the actuator interface member, the engine mounting structure interface member being configured to couple the at least one actuator bracket to an engine mounting structure, wherein the at least one actuator bracket is configured for the installation and removal of a respective active vibration element to and from the actuator interface member while a respective one of the at least one actuator bracket remains coupled to the engine mounting structure.
