| 20100308107 | CARD DISPENSING APPARATUSES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF OPERATION - Apparatuses and methods for dispensing magnetic stripe cards, smart cards, other cards, and/or other items from kiosks and other structures are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a card dispensing apparatus includes at least a first card hopper and a card transport assembly. The first card hopper is configured to hold a stack of cards that includes at least a first card stacked on a second card. The card transport assembly includes a card carrier moveable between a first position proximate to the first card hopper and a second position spaced apart from the first card hopper. The card carrier is configured to lift the first card off the second card when the card carrier is in the first position. The card carrier is further configured to release the first card toward an outlet when the card carrier is in the second position. In one embodiment, the card carrier can move the first card past a card reader/writer for reading information from, and/or writing information to, the card as it carries the card from the first position to the second position. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20090087666 | CURABLE HIGH REFRACTIVE INDEX RESINS FOR OPTOELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS - Novel compositions and methods of using those compositions to form high refractive index coatings are provided. The compositions preferably comprise both a reactive solvent and a high refractive index compound. Preferred reactive solvents include aromatic resins that are functionalized with one or more reactive groups (e.g., epoxides, vinyl ethers, oxetane), while preferred high refractive index compounds include aromatic epoxides, vinyl ethers, oxetanes, phenols, and thiols. An acid or crosslinking catalyst is preferably also included. The inventive compositions are stable under ambient conditions and can be applied to a substrate to form a layer and cured via light and/or heat application. The cured layers have high refractive indices and light transmissions. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20080295518 | Airfoil acoustic impedance control - A noise control cassette for a gas turbine engine includes a perforated face sheet configured for exposure to an airflow, a non-perforated backing sheet, a core arranged between the face sheet and the backing sheet and defining a cavity between the face sheet and the backing sheet having an effective length tuned so as to provide acoustic reactance control, and an attachment face for attaching the cassette to an airfoil-shaped structure. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20100003121 | VARIABLE AREA FAN NOZZLE FOR ACCOMMODATING A FOREIGN OBJECT STRIKE EVENT - A gas turbine engine system includes a fan ( | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100269486 | GAS TURBINE ENGINE HAVING SLIM-LINE NACELLE - A method of providing a slim-line nacelle for a gas turbine engine includes the steps of detecting a windmilling condition and increasing a discharge airflow area of a variable area fan nozzle in response to the detection of the windmilling condition. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100269512 | GAS TURBINE ENGINE HAVING SLIM-LINE NACELLE - A gas turbine engine system includes nacelle, a first boundary layer control device, a second boundary layer control device, at least one sensor, and a controller. The nacelle is defined about an axis and includes an inlet lip section, an inlet internal diffuser section, and a variable area fan nozzle moveable to influence a discharge airflow area of the nacelle. The first boundary layer control device is positioned near the inlet lip section and is actuable to introduce a first airflow at the inlet lip section. The second boundary layer control device is positioned near the inlet internal diffuser section and is actuable to introduce a second airflow at the inlet internal diffuser section. The sensor produces a signal that represents an operability condition. The controller receives the signal and simultaneously moves the variable area fan nozzle and actuates the first boundary layer control device and the second boundary layer control device in response to receiving the signal to achieve a slim-line nacelle. | 10-28-2010 |
