TL;DR: An acoustic attenuating wall panel for a nacelle of a turbine engine may include a radiused portion as discussed by the authors, which may include an airflow surface having a concave configuration and which may be exposed to an airflow passing through the nacelles.
Abstract: An acoustic-attenuating wall panel for a nacelle of a turbine engine may include a radiused portion. The radiused portion may include an airflow surface having a concave configuration and which may be exposed to an airflow passing through the nacelle. The radiused portion may include an acoustic attenuating section.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pipe end of a long pipe is bent with a radius of curvature which is larger than a minimum radius curvature to form a large R portion in a region in which cracking or excessive reduction of plate thickness of the bend outer-side portion, or buckling of bend inner-side part does not occur.
Abstract: According to the present invention, in the first process, a pipe end of a long pipe is bent with a radius of curvature which is larger than a minimum radius of curvature to form a large R portion. That is to say, bending with a large radius of curvature (R) is performed to form a large R portion in a region in which cracking or excessive reduction of plate thickness of the bend outer-side portion, or buckling of the bend inner-side portion does not occur. Subsequently, in the second process, the pipe is bent with a small radius of curvature form a small R portion by pressing a pipe-end portion of the pipe from a pipe-end direction while fixedly holding the bend side wall of the pipe. In this way, it is possible to obtain an R-minimum elbow configuration irrespective of magnitude of an amount of elongation of material and further without special equipment or mechanisms, by minor modification of present equipment.

01 Jun 2018TL;DR: A flexible fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) process for heterogeneous integration of high performance dies in a flexible and biocompatible elastomeric package (FlexTrateTM) was used to assemble >600 dies with co-planarity and tilt < 1µm, average die-shift of 3.28 µm with? < 2.23 µm.
Abstract: A flexible fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) process for heterogeneous integration of high performance dies in a flexible and biocompatible elastomeric package (FlexTrateTM) was used to assemble >600 dies with co-planarity and tilt <1µm, average die-shift of 3.28 µm with ? < 2.23 µm. We have also engineered a novel corrugated topography of a stress buffer layer for metal interconnects on FlexTrateTM to mitigate the buckling phenomenon of metal films deposited on elastomeric substrates. Corrugated interconnects were then tested for their mechanical bending reliability and have shown less than 0.4% change in resistance after bending at 1 mm radius for 1,000 cycles. Finally, we demonstrate integration of an array of 25 dielets interconnected in a daisy chain configuration at 40 µm interconnect pitch.

TL;DR: In this article, a full-vectorial finite difference method was used to compare the optical power distribution and bending loss of etching, proton exchange (PE), and strip-loaded waveguides.
Abstract: Waveguides formed by etching, proton-exchange (PE), and strip-loaded on single-crystal lithium niobate (LN) thin film were designed and simulated by a full-vectorial finite difference method. The single-mode condition, optical power distribution, and bending loss of these kinds of waveguides were studied and compared systematically. For the PE waveguide, the optical power distributed in LN layer had negligible change with the increase of PE thickness. For the strip-loaded waveguide, the relationships between optical power distribution in LN layer and waveguide thickness were different for quasi-TE (q-TE) and quasi-TM (q-TM) modes. The bending loss would decrease with the increase of bending radius. There was a bending loss caused by the electromagnetic field leakage when the neff of q-TM waveguide was smaller than that of nearby TE planar waveguide. LN ridge waveguides possessed a low bending loss even at a relatively small bending radius. This study is helpful for the understanding of waveguide structures as well as for the optimization and the fabrication of high-density integrated optical components.

21 Oct 1986TL;DR: In this paper, a coaxial microwave transmission line of choice is covered by successive layers of helically-wound armor sheath, hard wire located in the groove of the sheath to aid in control of bend of the cable, a hard wire or braid, insulation, and strain relief boot.
Abstract: A limited bend transmission cable for coaxial microwave cables which also has controlled movement under torque. A coaxial microwave transmission line of choice is covered by successive layers of helically-wound armor sheath, hard wire located in the groove of the sheath to aid in control of bend of the cable, a hard wire or braid, insulation, and strain relief boot.
