Abstract: A support box apparatus includes longitudinal members that span forward to aft and transverse members that span inboard to outboard between the longitudinal members. The longitudinal members and the transverse members are formed of composite honeycomb sandwich panels. The support box apparatus also includes attachment components configured to couple the longitudinal members or the transverse members to structural components of an aircraft, electrical wiring attached to the longitudinal members or the transverse members, environmental control system (ECS) ducting attached to the longitudinal members or the transverse members, and life support lines attached to the longitudinal members or the transverse members.

Abstract: A flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) device includes a common flexible substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A printed circuit is coupled to the first surface of the common flexible substrate. A battery is coupled to the second surface of the common flexible substrate. At least one via connects the battery to the printed circuit through the common flexible substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for spares management in a data center context. The described system may provide fully integrated dashboards and spares control mechanisms that visually displays the status of all spares activity including the ability to set alarms to monitor items to avoid potential supply disruptions. The system may also automatically monitor and balance the distribution of spares between multiple data centers.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for treating bedbug infestations, that involves filling the lower portions of the void spaces inside a wall with a thick and stable foam, to form a foam barrier inside the walls, allowing the foam barrier to collapse over time to coat portions of the interior of the wall with residual foam. The foam may contain a non-repellant pesticide, but certain foams are effective in treating bedbugs even if the foam does not contain any pesticide.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes mobile systems and methods for capturing, auditing, and transferring inventory information in contexts such as large data centers. In some cases, a mobile device is configured to manage inventory information in a data center. The mobile device may include a number of pre-configured workflows for capturing inventory information, receiving new inventory, auditing existing inventory, and/or transferring inventory from one place to another.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recycling plastic waste to produce a wood substitute material for use in manufacture of garden products. A mixture of one or more types of plastic materials is extruded in a partially plasticised condition so as to allow gases formed by the extrusion process to escape from the surface of the extrusion to create a simulated wood. Holes (9) formed in the surface of the extruded plastic material by escaping gases are elongated by passage of the extrusion through a finishing die (7) downstream of the extruder (5) to form a rough textured surface similar to sawn wood and the plastic material is set to retain the shape and configuration of the textured surface by cooling in a water bath (8) downstream of the finishing die (7).
