Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing social media referrals based rewards to a customer. The systems and methods may provide incentives to customers of financial-service providers (“FSP”) based on their referrals to the FSP. Customer referrals may be determined for the customer by gathering data regarding referrals received from messages distributed by the customer via social media. Based on the referrals, an amount of rewards may be provided for business transactions initiated by the customer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing social-media influence based rewards to a customer. The systems and methods may provide incentives to customers of financial-service providers based on their influence in social media. A level of social-media influence may be determined for the customer by gathering data regarding the customer's social network profiles. Based on the level of social-media influence, an amount of rewards may be provided for business transactions initiated by the customer.

Abstract: A secondary securing member is provided (19,28,29,30) for securing a first component (11) to a second component (13) when primary securing member (17) is inadvertently removed. The first component (11) includes an outwardly extending spigot (12) slidably engaging the secondary securing member (19, 28,29,30). The second component (13) is assembled and secured by a primary securing member means (17). Thus if in use, the primary securing member (17) is inadvertently removed, the secondary securing member (19, 28, 29, 30) insures limited axial displacement but no separation of the second component (13) from the first component (11).

Abstract: An externally mounted aircraft fairing arrangement for mounting on an aircraft wing that has a hingedly displaceable control surface, such as an aileron, includes a first fairing portion (11) on the wing aircraft structure and a second fairing portion (12) located on the control surface, bridged over by an intermediate flexible seal arrangement. The flexible seal arrangement (13) comprises a plurality of slidably overlapping layers (16) of longitudinally extending fingers (16a, 16b) on the fixed fairing portion (e.g. 11) and overlapping and slidably engaging the other fixed fairing portion (e.g. 12). The fingers (16a, 16b) of the layers lie in laterally staggered relationship with respect to each other such that in operation they can accommodate differential movement between the fairing portions (11, 12) when the control surface is angularly displaced relative to the fixed structure.

Abstract: A trailing edge flap assembly for an aircraft wing includes at its rearward end upper and lower surfaces terminating in a trailing edge portion. The assembly has a flap (15) is located in a stowed position during normal flight. A mounting beam (18) is located to the lower surface (12) of the wing, extending rearwardly thereof and below the flap (15). A carriage (23) is in rolling engagement with longitudinal guideways (53) on the mounting beam (18). To actuate the flap (15), at or about the rearward extremity of the mounting beam (18), there is provided an actuator mounting bracket (21), a rotary actuator (52), and lever arms (27, 28) assocaited with the actuator about a common substantially transverse axis of rotation. The lever arms (27, 28) extend upwardly and terminate adjacent the undersurface of the flap (15), in a pivotal attachment (22) forwardly extending actuator links (25, 26) pivotally interconnecting the lever arms (27, 28) and the carriage (23).

Abstract: A mechanism for supporting and extending a high lift device relative to an aerofoil, comprises one or more support beams (10) connected to the aerofoil, a pair of spaced apart chordwise extending wing ribs (20) bounding the support beam, a set of cylindrical rollers (23) mounted between the wing ribs for supporting the support beam (10) with their rotational axes aligned transversely with respect to the support beam (10), the support beam (10) including a gear rack (12) with gear teeth facing downwardly and a pinion gear (13) lying in meshing engagement with the gear rack (12), and an actuator (14) in driving engagement with the pinion gear (13) to extend and retract the high lift device (2-6) relative to the aerofoil (1). Bearings (45, 47) are provided for rotatably supporting the pinion gear (13) between the wing ribs (20) about a generally transverse axis of rotation, and there are splined engaging means (42, 43) between the actuator (14) and the pinion gear (13).
