    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.

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

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.
