machinery components by Laser Metal Deposition”, Dr. Kelbassa

Abstract:
Turbo machinery components such as blade integrated disks (BLISKs) and
nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) made from Nickel and Titanium base alloys such
as Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6246, Ti-17, Mar-M247 and CMSX-4 are
predestinated for repair and salvage operations due to their high value.
Currently these components are manufactured by time and cost intensive
process chains containing processing steps such as casting, forging,
milling, linear friction welding, thermal spraying etc.
The laser additive manufacturing process Laser Metal Deposition (LMD)
offers new effective entire process chains by decreasing the number of
processing steps as well as by enabling emerging applications for
specific process steps. Parts can be repaired which were formally
classified as non-repairable and components can be manufactured
additively by new process chain designs and new processes.
This talk addresses the pathways from feasibility studies over process
developments yielding in certified processes and industrially
implemented machines. For BLISK manufacturing the single blades are
directly manufactured additively on the disk by LMD. The significant
increase of the deposition rate combined with a near-net-shape
deposition is realized by the use of up to 10 kW laser power and the
first application of a newly-designed LMD head with an integrated
zoom-optics. The achievable metallurgical, mechanical - static and
dynamic mechanical properties - and geometrical results, the implemented
process chains including CAD/CAM/NC-coupling are presented and
discussed.

TRDA workshop on financing tech startups
FINANCING TECHNOLOGY VENTURES
A Workshop For Technology Companies
Raising Capital To Grow Their Business
If you are considering raising angel or venture capital investment for your business, then this TRDA workshop is for you!
You will learn what angels and venture capitalists look for in companies they invest in, along with the math behind the valuation offers they make. We will also dissect the language and impact to you for each element of a “term sheet”, which is the offer letter used by most angel groups and venture capitalists.
This workshop will also introduce the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) federal grant program as an option for early-stage capital, which is targeted specifically towards highly innovative early-stage technology companies.
Topics covered will include:
An introduction to angel investing and venture capital
How venture capitalists determine the value of a company
How to make a pitch to an investor
Investor due diligence and what they look for in a company
Term sheet and offer letter basics
Small Business Innovation Research Program Funding
Date: November 9, 2010
Time: 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Cost: $75 (includes a box lunch)
Location: TRDA Business Innovation Center
1050 W. NASA Boulevard
Melbourne, Florida 32901

LightPath Technologies is sponsoring a Laser Focus World Webcast on IR Optics: Meaningful Specifications for Complex Aspheres
Increasingly, aspheric optical elements are moving from the specialized to the commonplace. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in IR optical systems, where it is common to find more aspheric elements than spherical ones. But despite the increasing use of aspheres, specifying their shape and other properties is still far from a routine process.
Greg Forbes of QED Technologies will present a new and intuitive way to mathematically represent rotationally symmetric aspheric surfaces, leading to easier interpretations and sanity checks as well as more-direct assessments of manufacturability. Dave Aikens of Savvy Optics will highlight some of the key issues to consider when specifying an aspheric optical element, and will provide guidance on making the best use of the optical-drawing formats available to the user today.
- Review of conventional asphere-shape representation
- A new, simpler way to represent aspheres
- Review of surface-form tolerancing
- Key issues in specifying an aspheric optical element
- Guidance on specifying for manufacturability
Who Should Attend:
Engineers, Optical Designers, Optical System Engineers, Optical Manufacturers, IR System Designers.

Spin Transfer and Nonlinear Magnetization Dynamics in Ferromagnetic Nanostructures
Spin transfer torque from a spin-polarized current applied to a metallic ferromagnet can excite magnetization oscillations of very large amplitude. We use this unique property of spin current to study new types of magnetization dynamics in the strongly nonlinear regime.
I will describe our recent measurements of spin-current-driven dynamics in nanoscale ferromagnetic dots and ferromagnetic nanowires. In these systems, we observe several unusual magneto-dynamic phenomena that include non-adiabatic stochastic resonance, rapid current-induced domain wall motion and size quantization of nonlinear magnon scattering. I will also briefly discuss emerging technologies such as universal magnetic memory and microwave nanooscillators that utilize interactions between spin currents and magnetization in nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions.
OPEN SOURCE: Is Open Really Free
Title: OPEN SOURCE: Is Open Really Free
Presenter: Howard Gitten with Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP
Date: Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
Time: 9:30-11:00
Location: University Tower Building located at 12201 Research Parkway,
2nd Floor large conference room #211, Orlando, FL., 32826
Fee: $20 (Free to only UCF Incubator clients and Florida Photonics Cluster members)
RSVP to Renee Ayala at 407-882-0202 or via email rayala@mail.ucf.edu
Many companies from Incubator start ups to Microsoft are increasingly making use of Open Source
software. But what does that really mean? We will explore what is meant by 'open source', some
of the more common licenses, and what business ramifications it may have for downstream use,
investors, and joint development partners.
Howard Gitten bio:
Having worked both in-house at a cutting edge photonics company, and in private
practice, Howard brings a unique perspective to technology law. He brings a
business Perspective to technology issues and his technology background to
business issues. As a registered patent attorney, Howard, along with his
colleagues in the Intellectual Property Department, not only know how best to
protect a client's unique assets, but how best to make them marketable and best use
intellectual property for competitive advantage. Howard has advised his clients in
instituting cradle-to-grave IP regimes, to licensing IP and building joint development programs around a client's IP.

Lee entered the Ph.D. program at Yale University where he worked under
Henry A. Fairbank in the low-temperature physics group, doing
