Abstract: A flight procedure criteria prototyping system and method is described herein. According to embodiments, the system is configured to generate a prototype, generate a dependency tree based on the prototype, wherein the dependency tree is comprised of one or more dependency tree nodes, translate the dependency tree into one or more construction steps, wherein there is a mapping between the one or more dependency tree nodes and the one or more construction steps, maintain an ordered list of the one or more construction steps, and generate one or more software specifications based on the one or more construction steps.

Abstract: A floor panel for a vehicle compartment includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface and the second surface have different material properties. One of the surfaces is provided with a plurality of rollers disposed to project above the surface when the surface is uppermost. Both of the first and said second surfaces are capable of being uppermost while the floor panel is located in the vehicle compartment.

Abstract: A dashboard assembly for a vehicle comprising a lower housing portion adapted to receive an air blowing system and an upper housing portion, the dashboard assembly further comprising an intermediate housing portion being and disposed between the lower housing portion and the upper housing portion, wherein the intermediate housing portion comprises an inlet for connection to the air blowing system and at least one channel integrally provided in said intermediate housing portion and having an outlet, said channel being in flow communication with said inlet. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A support assembly for a vehicle dashboard comprises a support beam having end faces. As seen from the end faces, in cross-section the support beam has five side faces, a forward face, upper face, lower face, upper rearward face, and lower rearward face. The upper face, lower face, upper rearward face and lower rearward face are each provided with a corresponding groove. The grooves are disposed peripherally of the support beam and each groove extends longitudinally of the support beam to support at least one dashboard module in a selected one of a plurality of positions. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: The present invention includes free-standing, shaped ceramic-bearing bodies useful in fluid sensors, filters, and catalyst devices. The invention also includes methods and processes for using such devices. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, shaped metallic foils are converted into free-standing, porous rutile foils having an open pore structure by oxidation at an elevated temperature. The exposure of such foils to increasing concentrations of reducing gases such as carbon monoxide results in an increase in the steady-state electrical resistance. The resultant ceramic-bearing bodies may be used as effective sensors of reducing gas species in such applications as automobile and industrial emissions.
