Abstract: The present invention provides a fuselage structure (1; 1') of an aircraft comprising an annular skin segment (2; 2') which has a cross-sectional opening (3; 3'), a pressure cap (4; 4') for a pressure-tight closure of the cross-sectional opening (3; 3'), and a plurality of tension struts (7, 8, 9; 7', 8', 9') which in each case connect the pressure cap (4; 4') to the annular skin segment (2; 2') and absorb loads acting on the pressure cap (4;  4'), as tensile loads. This advantageously means that the tension struts (7, 8, 9; 7', 8', 9') do not have to absorb substantially any bending moments. Consequently, the tension struts can be produced with a relatively small cross section, which entails a reduction in weight.  Furthermore, it is possible to produce and mount tension struts (7, 8, 9; 7', 8', 9') of this type in a simple manner.

Title: Secured presentation layer virtualization for wireless handheld communication device having endpoint independence
Inventor: ANDRESS MARK W
IPC: H04W92/02
Filed: 2009-01-16
Abstract: The connectivity and security of wireless handheld devices (HDs) can be leveraged to provide a presentation appliance (PA) (e.g. a laptop) with an ability to securely communicate with an enterprise's private network. A split-proxy server, with part of it executing on the HD and a part executing on the PA, implements a full HTTP 1.1 compliant Internet/Web Proxy to couple the PA for communication through the HD. Support for the pragmatic keep-alive header, the CONNECT method, socket connection sharing, and thread pooling, enables a fully functional browsing environment to access web-based applications that are built on standard Internet technologies without the need for re-rendering or re-writing the user interfaces to suit the HD. In addition, Intranet web-based applications are made securely accessible without the need for additional VPN and remote access technologies. The PA  may be configured to prevent residual storage of sensitive data on the PA.

Abstract: A novel cytometer system, methods and algorithms which provide a rugged, affordable and easy-to-use device in remote locations. All cells in a biological sample are fluorescently labeled, with target cells also magnetically labeled. Non-magnetically labeled cells are imaged for viability. Labeled sample is placed between two wedge-shaped magnets to selectively move the magnetically labeled cells for observation. A LED illuminates the cells and a CCO camera captures the images of the fluorescent light emitted by the target cells. Image analysis perfomed with a novel algorithm provides a cell count that can be related to the target cell concentration of the original sample.

Abstract: High capacity, high pressure pumps suitable for pumping highly viscous liquids including tailings pond sludge, bitumen froth and bitumen from a mined oil sands operation or for pumping sludge and sediment from other mining or processing operations are disclosed and claimed. Mixing and emulsification of the pumped liquid normally does not occur since the pump parts do not rotate and do not move very fast. Dilution water is not required and the cost of the pumps is expected to be much lower than the cost of commercial dredges. Mostly schedule 40, 8 inch pipe, pipe fittings and 150 pound flanges are used in the illustrations. However much larger pipe sizes, fittings and heavier flanges may be used for large capacity commercial pumps. Thirty inch pipe and fitting sizes would not be unreasonable for commercial pump designs based on the present invention when gentle but very high pumping rates of tailings pond sludge and associated bitumen mats are required.

IPC: A01B63/32
Filed: 2010-12-01
Abstract: A disc opener unit for an agricultural implement has a down pressure adjustment device that automatically adjusts the amount of down pressure applied on a furrowing disc based on strain measurements taken by a strain gauge or load cell. The strain gauge, which may be mounted to an arm that is used to set the position of a depth setting gauge wheel, provides feedback to a processor that in turn controls the amount of hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic cylinder to adjust the down force applied on the disc. The amount of down pressure is therefore adjusted in substantially real-time in response to changes in field conditions, which improves furrow depth consistency and reduces wear on the gauge wheel and its components.

Title: Irrigated ablation catheter with improved fluid flow
Inventor: CLARK JEFFREY L
IPC: A61B5/042
Filed: 2011-04-26
Abstract: An irrigated ablation catheter includes a tip electrode with a thin shell and a plug to provide a plenum chamber. The tip electrode has an inlet of a predetermined size and noncircular shape, and outlets in the form of fluid ports formed in the thin shell wall. The plurality of the fluid ports is predetermined, as is their diameter. The tip electrode thus considers a diffusion ratio of total fluid output area to fluid input area, and a fluid port ratio. The tip electrode also considers a fluid inlet aspect ratio where the fluid inlet has a noncircular (for example, oval or elliptical) radial cross--section. The plenum chamber has a narrow proximal portion opening to a wider distal portion so that fluid pressure decreases while fluid velocity increases with the desired effect of increased turbulence which decreases momentum for a more uniform distribution of fluid in the tip electrode. Extending distally from the plug is a baffle member shaped to diffuse fluid entering the tip electrode and to house an electromagnetic position sensor.
