Abstract: The present invention relates to a measurement probe system (6) comprising a reusable unit, a pluggable electrical connector (12) and a disposable, single-use sensing unit (14), the reusable unit comprising a connector support (27), the disposable, single-use sensing unit (14) comprising a sealing sleeve (32) and a sensing device (36). The sensing device (36) is configured to be fixedly connected to the sealing sleeve (32). The pluggable electrical connector (12) comprises a connecting portion (28) configured to be connected to the connector support (27) and a complementary connecting portion (30), which is connected to the sensing device (36) and to the sealing sleeve (32).

Abstract: A support for an aircraft seat, table or other piece of equipment has a lower support link that sweeps out a lateral arc. The lower support link cooperates with a conventional linear track to support the piece of equipment. The linear track provides fore/aft movement substantially orthogonal to a line tangent to the center of the lateral arc. A pilot link is operatively attached to the piece of equipment to form a four-bar linkage that maintains the equipment in a predetermined rotational attitude as the lower support link sweeps out its lateral arc.

Abstract: An aircraft seat has an adjustable armrest in which the armrest platform is supported by a hinged attachment to an armrest support member. The hinged attachment between the armrest platform and the arm support member is located at the wrist-end of the arm support member near the aircraft control stick. The armrest platform and the armrest support are locked into position by means of telescoping struts that are controlled at the wrist-end of the arm platform member. The telescoping struts can be selectively locked to create triangular and/or quadrilateral trusses that lock the armrest firmly into position and may include springs or other elements to bias the armrest platform up and forward so that the armrest “floats” when the telescoping struts re released.

Abstract: A support for aircraft seats and other equipment has a lower support link that sweeps out a lateral arc. The lower support link supports a platform that may have a conventional linear track. The linear track provides fore/aft movement substantially orthogonal to a line tangent to the center of the lateral arc. A pilot link is attached to the platform to form a parallelogram linkage that maintains the equipment platform in a rotationally fixed attitude as the lower support link sweeps out its lateral arc.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the position of a seat comprises a rack and a clock nut that grips the rack. The rack comprises a threaded rod, while the clock nut comprises a short cylindrical body that is drilled and threaded along its diameter with internal threads corresponding to the thread diameter and pitch of the rack. Circumferential reliefs are then formed in the threaded bore to enable the clock nut to be “clocked” from a position in which the threads of the clock nut engage the threads of the rack to a second position in which the threads of the clock nut disengage the threads of the rack. A pair of linkages are provided to rotate the clock nut between the engaged and disengaged positions and to transmit loads from the clock nut.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of strawberry plant named ‘DrisStrawThree’. The new cultivar is primarily characterized by its large fruit size, heavy fruit production, and resistance to powdery mildew.

Abstract: A method and system for composing electronic communications retrieves and provides, in real-time or near-real time, personalized content data from electronically accessible content sources using replaceable tokens. A replaceable token points to a defined location of an electronically accessible content source. The token is identified, and the desired content data is extracted from the defined location. The token is replaced with the extracted content data, and the personalized or customized content data is inserted into one or more electronic communications.

Abstract: A PC containing a softphone is connected to a headset (14) by means of a control unit (9) which is connected to a USB gate (6) in the PC. The PC has a security function, which means that the PC can be accessed only by users who e.g. know an access code. The control unit (9), comprising inter alia a sound card, is equipped such that also commands may be given to the softphone (15), even if for security reasons the PC is blocked e.g. by a security code, it being possible to transfer a limited number of commands via the USB gate (6) from the control unit (9). The invention ensures that, irrespective of the state of the PC, the softphone can always be used, as the control unit (9) always gives access to it, which may be important, e.g. in connection with an emergency call.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry named ‘Driscoll Sausalito’. The variety is similar to the varieties ‘Driscoll Lanai’ and ‘San Juan’. The variety is distinguished from ‘Driscoll Lanai’ and ‘San Juan,’ in particular, by its sweetness, acidity, internal color, longer petal length, longer flower diameter, anythocyanin color and coloration and moderate resistance to powdery mildew.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry named ‘Driscoll Ojai’. The variety is similar to the varieties ‘Driscoll El Capitan’ and ‘Driscoll Venice’. The variety is distinguished from ‘Driscoll El Capitan’ and ‘Driscoll Venice,’ in particular, by its height, longer petiole length, longer fruiting truss length, open canopy density and moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew.
