| 20110290943 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COOLING FUEL IN AN AIRCRAFT FUEL TANK - Fuel in an aircraft fuselage fuel tank is cooled by means of cold air flowing from the exterior of the aircraft to a cooling region inside the aircraft. The cooling region may be (a) located to the exterior of the fuel tank, (b) in thermal communication with the fuel tank and (c) in fluid communication with a region downstream of, and remote from, said cooling region, for example, an exhaust port on the outside of the aircraft. The flow of air may be caused by air entering a ram air intake, into which air passes as a result of the motion of the airborne aircraft relative to the surrounding air. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20080250727 | Raising and Lowering of Columns - An arrangement for the raising and lowering of a mast, which includes an upper mast portion and base, which upper mast portion is rotatable about a horizontal pivot axis, located in the base of the mast is described. The arrangement includes (i) docking device for restraining the upper mast portion against rotation; (ii) attachment device for attaching a drive device for driving the docking device between a first engaged configuration wherein the upper mast portion is restrained against rotation and a second disengaged configuration wherein the upper mast portion is free to rotate and (iii) locking device selectable via an intermediate unlocked configuration between a first locked configuration wherein the docking device is engaged and a second unlocked configuration wherein the docking device is disengaged and is characterized in that the locking means is controllable remotely to allow automatic operation of the raising and lowering sequence. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20090220654 | FILLED, BAKED CRISPY SNACK HAVING A HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT - A shelf-stable, filled, baked crispy snack which possesses a crispy textured casing and a moist, soft textured filling over a prolonged period of time is obtained by formulating a casing which when baked has a high glass temperature (Tg) at a high moisture content. Increasing the degree of starch gelatinization to increase the Tg may be achieved during baking and by the addition of a pregelatinized starch. The high Tg baked casing permits the use of a high moisture content filler in high amounts to provide a shelf-stable substantial textural dichotomy in the filled, baked, crispy snack. The filled, baked snack exhibits an unexpectedly high resistance to deformation or peak force at high baked casing moisture contents. The baked snack is ready-to-eat out of the packaging and does not have to be toasted, microwaved or further baked, cooked, or heated for consumption, or to achieve a crisp textured casing. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20100308593 | Method for Generating Rotation using Water Power - A method for generating rotation from the interaction of water with curved surfaces utilises a rotating assembly with a configuration of objects with curved surfaces suspended from radial arms which are connected to a swing bearing. A continuous water supply fed to the curved surfaces of the suspended objects cause a horizontal force to be generated and this force causes the rotating assembly to rotate in a sustainable manner. This method can be used to construct low head hydro electricity generation systems or on a smaller scale water features, with rotational elements, for decorative purposes. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20080205824 | Angle-specific multi-fiber ferrules and associated methods of manufacture - The present invention provides a method of manufacture that minimizes the lateral offset of a plurality of optical fiber holes associated with a multi-fiber ferrule, including: determining an initial offset distance of each of the plurality of optical fiber holes from each of a plurality of corresponding target locations on an initial endface; removing a predetermined amount of material from the multi-fiber ferrule to form a subsequent endface; determining a subsequent offset distance of each of the plurality of optical fiber holes from each of the plurality of corresponding target locations on the subsequent endface; and, using the initial offset distance and the subsequent offset distance, determining an angle of each of the plurality of optical fiber holes relative to the initial endface. The method of manufacture also includes, using the angle, determining an optimal amount of material that is removed from the multi-fiber ferrule in order to minimize the offset distance of the plurality of optical fiber holes from the plurality of corresponding target locations. The method of manufacture further includes, using the optimal amount of material, removing this amount of material from another similarly-situated multi-fiber ferrule. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080232744 | Multifiber ferrule with precision bumpers and methods for making the same - A multifiber (MF) ferrule produced using a ferrule molding insert that is jig ground in order to improve the tolerance on the bumper height of a molded ferrule and the surface finish on the region of interest (ROI), thus improving manufacturing yields. | 09-25-2008 |
