Patent EP-1413721-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHMILOVICH ARVIN
IPC: B64D33/02
Filed: 2003-10-23
Abstract: Air inlet for a gas turbine engine with an active system (10) for the suppression of a ground vortex generated by the engine of an aircraft avoiding the vortex ingestion into the engine, the system includes an actuator assembly (14) in fluid communication with a fluid source; and, at least one nozzle assembly (16), including at least one movable nozzle (24). The movable nozzle (24) is in fluid communication with the actuator assembly (14) for receiving fluid from the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly (14) controls the motion of the movable nozzle (24), wherein fluid is injected over a desired region relative to an inlet of the engine to disrupt the flow structure of a ground vortex, thus mitigating ground vortex ingestion. This ensures the operational health of the engine during airplane maneuvering on the ground.

Abstract: A fuel cell assembly comprising a plurality of individual fuel cells,
especially a solid-oxide fuel cell assembly. The cells are organized into
a plurality of stacks, preferably two stacks, disposed side-by-side rather
than end-to-end as in a prior art monolithic single stack. This
arrangement makes the assembly compact physically, which can be
highly desirable in some fuel cell applications. The stacks are connected
conventionally in series electrically but are supplied with air and fuel in
parallel to shorten the distribution manifolds and improve uniformity of
distribution and exhaust among all the cells.
Patent EP-1334809-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MILTON SCOTT C
IPC: B26D3/08
Filed: 2003-02-05
Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for controlling cutting
depth of a label media such that the depth of cut is media-specific,
that is, specific to the media being cut. The
method includes: providing a plotter cutter and a force-generating
mechanism; providing a memory device for electronic
communication with the plotter cutter, the memory device
having a label media-specific value stored thereon; reading
the label media-specific value from the memory device;
converting the label media-specific value to a label media-specific
current signal; providing a label media-specific
current based on the label media-specific current signal;
applying the label media-specific current to a force-generating
mechanism; generating a label media-specific
cutting force based on the label media-specific current; and
transferring the label media-specific cutting force to the
plotter cutter to control plotter cutting at the label media-specific
cutting depth. The methods and systems work towards
eliminating waste or scrap plotter test cuts by plotter
cutting a label media using information from, for example, a
memory device associated with a label media supply. The
methods and systems obviate the need for manual resetting of
plotter cutter depth from one label media to another.

Abstract: A robot-guided system to assist orthopaedic surgeons in performing orthopaedic surgical procedures on pre-positioned inserts, including for the fixation of bone fractures, and especially for use in long bone distal intramedullary locking procedures. The system provides a mechanical guide for drilling the holes for distal screws in intramedullary nailing surgery. The drill guide is automatically positioned by the robot relative to the distal locking nail holes, using data derived from only a small number of X-ray fluoroscopic images. The system allows the performance of the locking procedure without trial and error, thus enabling the procedure to be successfully performed by less experienced surgeons, reduces exposure of patient and operating room personnel to radiation, shortens the intra-operative time, and thus reduces post-operative complications.
