Abstract: An airfoil including a spar and a cover sheet that are configured for cooling. The spar includes standoffs and a leading edge wall. The standoffs are disposed along a pressure and/or suction side. A pressure-side panel and a suction-side panel are coupled to the standoffs and/or the leading edge wall. Leading ends of the pressure-side panel and the suction-side panel are disposed adjacent to one another proximate to the leading edge. The standoffs extend beyond the pressure-side leading end toward the leading edge wall. At least one of the leading ends of the pressure-side and suction-side panels defines a notch to form an outlet port at the leading edge. Standoffs may be disposed to define grooves in between in communication with the outlet port.

Abstract: Methods of providing an undercut on a support member for a coversheet and coversheet support systems having undercuts are provided. A coversheet support system may include a spar. The spar may include a support member on an outer surface of the spar. The support member may extend outward from the outer surface of the spar. The support member may include an outer surface and an undercut. The undercut may be located in a portion of the support member between the outer surface of the spar and the outer surface of the support member.

Abstract: A computerized matching system enable users to utilize video clips to promote and/or find a person/people, place, or consumer item. The system is a recommendation service, embodied preferably in a mobile app, suggesting potential matches for its users. These suggestions are based upon the information and data entered by the users in their user profiles, as well as their Ideal Match Criteria (i.e. what it is they are seeking). The suggestions are also based upon algorithms that analyze and learn from available rating history data to make predictions on potential matches, utilizing rating trends of that user (i.e. the prior ratings entered by that user during their usage of the system while viewing other videos) as well as the rating trends of other users who have rated the same videos in a similar manner (herein referred to as Similar Rating Groups, or SRGs).

Abstract: The current invention is a recommendation system that translates a user's mood into activities and/or files (music, video, and/or literature) that are personalized. The user selects an icon, emoticon, or emoji, that represents their desired mood and the system matches files and/or events and activities to that desired mood, personalized to each user.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods, apparatuses and a program relating to detecting passive intermodulation in broadband communication. The present invention includes transmitting, at a base station, a first signal at a first centre frequency and a second signal at a second centre frequency with a predetermined transmit power, capturing, at the base station, received signal at a reception frequency, obtaining, at the base station, a delay between the transmitted signal and a passive intermodulation caused received signal.

Abstract: A method of delivering sponsor advertising content via sponsor-configured cube-centric games includes configuring a game template with sponsor advertising content to create a sponsor-specific cube-centric interactive game application, making at least one sponsor-specific cube-centric interactive game application available for download to user electronic devices and operating the at least one sponsor-specific cube-centric interactive game application in a electronic device during which users interact with a cube-centric graphical user interface (GUI) to play the game while the sponsor specific advertising content is delivered.

Abstract: A lifting girdle apparatus for enhancing the performance of a harness racing horse includes a lifting girdle affixed to a harness and sulky at two points on each side of the horse with a clip that attaches to the harness, behind approximately the front quarter of the horse, and with a securing strap that runs vertically towards and around the shaft of the sulky. The securing strap is preferably made to be adjustable, for example by constructing the securing strap as a belt and utilizing a belt buckle. The ability to adjust the distance between the attachment clips and the lifting girdle allows for a trainer to configure the lifting girdle device apparatus for different sized horses for producing an optimum setting for horses of almost any size.

Abstract: A combination multi-media interactive game and video infomercial acts as an advertising business method wherein a seller of merchandise can combine both an advertising infomercial with a player and/or participant's playing an interactive game. Preferably, the game is a step-by-step strategic or random game, whereby a player and/or participant user starts at an opening “starting point” and proceeds from one interval location to another. At each interval location, the player and/or participant is interactively interfaced with one or more commercial infomercials so that the player-participant can interact with the infomercial by researching, observing and/or demonstrating the use of the products remotely, or, by shopping for the displayed products by Internet. At each infomercial the retail object for sale is related to the predetermined themes of each interval location.
