Title: Water combustion technology-methods, processes, systems and apparatus for the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen
Inventor: HAASE RICHARD A
IPC: F03G6/00
Filed: 2003-04-10
Abstract: This invention relates to improved combustion methods and systems of Water Combustion Technology, WCT, based upon the chemistry of Water (H2O) incorporating Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2), as well as H2O as fuel. The WCT described in this invention does not use a hydrocarbon as a fuel source, rather the WCT uses H2 in combination preferably with O2 a secondarily in combination with air. The primary product of the combustion of H2 and O2 is H2O. Further, WCT separates H2O into H2 and O2, thereby making H2O an efficient method of storing fuel. The discovered WCT significantly improves the thermodynamics of combustion, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of combustion. Further, the discovered WCT relate to combustion wherein H2O is added to the fuel mixture to control the combustion temperature, thereby utilizing H2O during combustion as a heat sink. The ste am produced maintains : 1) the power output of combustion, 2) provides method(s ) of energy recycle and 3) provides an efficient method of energy storage, whi le 4) controlling the combustion temperature, thereby cooling the engine. Steam presents a reusable energy source in the exhaust, both from the available kinetic and the available heat energy, as well as the conversion of said ste am into Hydrogen and/or Oxygen.

The quote cards firstly are shuffled with only the second side of the quote cards facing towards the players. Secondly, the shuffled quote cards are arranged in a stack with only the second side of the quote cards facing towards the players. The stack has a top and a bottom end so that the first side of the quote cards with quote excerpts thereon are hidden from the players. The arrangement is such that in playing the game, a quote card is taken from the top end of the stack of quote cards and the brief quote excerpt on the first side of the quote card is read therefrom. The first player who is able to determine the title of the movie from which the excerpt is taken then wins a ticket card taken from the category of the group of the movie categories corresponding to the title of the movie. The player who first wins a ticket card from each category of the groups of movie categories is a winner of the card game.

Title: Flexible over the wing passenger loading bridge
Inventor: NOWAK CHRISTOPHER
IPC: B64F1/305
Filed: 2003-01-14
Abstract: Disclosed is a novel apparatus for moving passengers between an airport terminal building and a doorway of an aircraft located rearward of a wing of the aircraft. The inventive apparatus includes a passageway member pivotally anchored to one of the terminal building and a passenger loading bridge for servicing a front doorway of a same aircraft. The apparatus includes a telescopic passageway member that is pivotally mounted to the passageway member via a flexible connection. In use, the apparatus is cantilevered over the wing of an aircraft with the flexible connection substantially above a highest point along an upper surface of the aircraft wing. The flexible connection allows a cabin carried at an outboard end of the telescopic passageway member to mate to the rear doorway of the aircraft, providing an open passageway between the rear doorway and the terminal building through which passengers deplane. Positioning the flexible connection above the high point of the wing approximately minimizes the inclination of each passageway member floor surface.
