Abstract: An architectural cover panel system (10) of individually adaptive panels (16) for covering structural support members (13) of an underlying structure such as girders (30). An individual adaptive panel includes a sheet of flexible material having a generally convex cross-section and is provided with corrugations (18) oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the panel. In one preferred embodiment the convex panel is provided with edge portions (21) attached to the lateral side edges of the panel. The edge portions are similarly provided with corrugations (27) oriented parallel to and intersecting or merging into the corrugations (18) of the convex panel portions (24). In other embodiments of the invention, panels having radial corrugations (64) are used allowing the panels to respond to dimensional changes due to temperature effects and to resist wind forces without deforming the shape of the overall structure, and panels (65) with diagonal corrugations (89) provide bidirectional flexibility.

Abstract: An internal junction organic electroluminescent device (200) is disclosed comprised of, in sequence, an anode (202), an organic hole injecting and transporting zone (210), an organic electron injecting and transporting zone (212), and a cathode (216). The organic electron injecting and transporting zone (212) is comprised of an electron injecting layer (222) in contact with the cathode (216) and, interposed between the electron injecting layer (222) and the organic hole injecting and transporting zone (210), a blue emitting luminescent layer comprised of an aluminum chelate containing a phenolato ligand and two R
-8-quinolinolato ligands, where R
 substituents are chosen to block the attachment of more than two substituted 8-quinolinolato ligands to the aluminum atom. The presence of the phenolato ligand shifts device emission to the blue region of the spectrum and increases emission efficiency. Device emission is shifted to even shorter blue wavelengths and increased operating stability can be realized by the incorporation of a pentacarbocyclic aromatic fluorescent dye. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A baggage checking system is described, primarily for use at airports and distinct from airline seat reservation systems. The baggage checking system takes flight numbers, travellers' identification data and baggage tag numbers from check-in and transfer desks and collates it with baggage tag numbers read at baggage loading points. If an attempt is made to load a bag on an incorrect flight an alarm is given at the loading point and the system is inhibited at that loading point until supervisory action is taken. In addition an alarm is given if an attempt is made to load a bag with the same tag number as another bag. Rules concerning when an alarm should be given in relation to tag numbers checked-in, and tag numbers of passengers boarded can be changed at will, even during loading.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the time response of a turbo-compressor assisted internal combustion engine wherein the turbo-compressor is driven by an electric motor at a speed somewhat less than its full-load operating speed until such time as the turbo-compressor is driven at a higher speed by an exhaust gas turbine. The electric motor is provided to maintain the minimum rotational speed of the turbo-compressor when the engine load is low so that the turbo-compressor is ready for prompt response when driven by increasing exhaust gas as a result of additional load demand on the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A method for building vessels constructed of an inner structure and a skin consisting of several layers which together form a single laminate characterized in that the inner structure is built first, whereupon a thin plate is attached thereto in such a way that together they form a mould for the skin. The method is characterized in that the skin is laminated on the outside of said mould; the mould and the skin are separated; the thin plate is removed from the inner structure; the inner structure and the skin are joined. The mould is divided into sections so that the last three steps take place section by section. The thin plate constitutes one or more of the layers in the skin laminate, and the other layers in the skin are laminated directly on to the outside of the thin plate after said plate has been placed on the outside of the inner structure. The skin is laminated on to the outside of the mould, whereupon the thin plate is removed. The building of the inner structure, the application of the thin skin plate and the lamination of the skin take place whilst the vessel is positioned upside down.
