Title: Floor system for a fuselage section of an aircraft
Inventor: HAACK CORD
IPC: B64C1/18
Filed: 2009-01-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a floor system for a fuselage section of an aircraft, comprising a number of floor elements. According to the invention, the floor system has an essentially self-supporting design and is substantially mechanically separate from the fuselage section as primary structure. Consequent to the free or self-supporting design of the floor system in the fuselage cell, the layout of the floor system, for example, the arrangement of seats or groups of seats, along an aircraft axis can be matched to customer specifications in a simple manner without reference to structural boundary conditions of the fuselage structure.  A  floor surface for the floor system is formed from a number of floor elements which can be fitted with functional elements, wherein filling of empty spaces or cavities can be achieved with a number of floor equalisation elements.; As the floor elements have a relatively large support or fixing surface the loads induced by the functional elements, in particularly from seats, galleys, sanitary modules or similar, are introduced into the floor system distributed over a large area such that the structural components thereof, in particular, vertical supports, longitudinal profiles and transverse struts can be of a structurally lighter and thus weight-saving size.

Abstract: An outlet (75) for a Local Area Network (80) (LAN), containing an integrated adapter (21) that converts VoIP to and from analog telephony, and a standard telephone jack (72) (e.g. RJ-11 in North America) for connecting an ordinary analog (POTS) telephone set. Such an outlet allows using analog telephone sets in a VoIP environment, eliminating the need for an IP telephone set or external adapter. The outlet may also include a hub (31a, 31c) that allows connecting both an analog telephone set (22a, 22c) via an adapter (21a, 21c), as well as retaining the data network connection, which may be accessed by a network jack (73a, 73c). The invention may also be applied to a telephone line-based data networking system. In such an environment, the data networking circuitry as well as the VoIP/POTS adapters are integrated into a telephone outlet, providing for regular analog service, VoIP telephony service using an analog telephone set, and data networking as well. In such a configuration, the outlet requires two standard telephone jacks and a data-networking jack. Outlets according to the invention can be used to retrofit existing LAN and in building telephone wiring, as well as original equipment in new installation.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a felt covered castor put under a piece of furniture to make it roll on a floor. The castor comprises one or more wheels on which are fixed felt strips rolled up along the wheels. The use of the felt strip allows to brush slightly a surface of the floor and to protect it from scratches occurring at the passage of a naked wheel on the floor. And also it deafens the noise of the sliding wheel against the floor. Means of binding such as fusion or sticking are used to maintain firmly the felt strip on the wheel and to prevent it from getting loose.

Title: Borehole array for ranging and crosswell telemetry
Inventor: HAY RICHARD T
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2009-07-02
Abstract: A borehole array for ranging and crosswell telemetry is disclosed along with certain methods for employing such a borehole array. Some embodiments of the borehole array include electrically coupled reference nodes distributed along the length of a reference well. Each reference node includes a solenoid operated by a control unit. The control unit employs the solenoid to generate a magnetic field for guiding a bottomhole assembly in a nearby well. The control unit further serves as a communications intermediary between the bottomhole assembly and a surface facility. The bottomhole assembly can be guided in turn by subse-quent reference nodes of the array and employ the closest reference node as a communications link to the surface. Moreover, the use of multiple reference nodes offers greater precision in determining the bottomhole assembly's position relative to the reference well. The borehole array can be used to guide multiple drilling operations concurrently.

In addition, the method of producing a laminate metal structure with a grooved wicking surface is provided. The laminate is provided with at least a top layer and a bottom layer where the top layer and bottom layer are made of an aluminum alloy.  The laminate is thermomechanically processed to produce grain size and shape spanning the entire depth of the top layer suitable for wicking.
