Abstract of patent application(s):

The present invention relates to resin compositions, fiber reinforced polymeric structures and electromagnetic induction processes for making same. Such magnetic induction processes are pulsed processes that can be optionally coupled with cooling steps between pulses. The aforementioned fiber reinforced polymeric structures can take forms that include, but are not limited to, pipes; pressure vessels, including rocket motor cases and fire extinguishers; golf club shafts; tennis and badminton racquets; skis; snowboards; hockey sticks; fishing rods; bicycle frames; boat masts; oars; paddles; baseball bats; and softball bats. In addition, such fiber reinforced polymeric structures can be supplemented with other materials, such as a rocket propellant, to form articles, for example, a rocket motor.

JP Application No. 2022530177A, entitled FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITE STRUCTURES AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME, and filed on 19 November 2020.

The Department of the Air Force may assign these foreign patent rights unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows that such assignment would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed license.

Authority:35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.
