Abstract: An aircraft that includes a hybrid-electric propulsion system is provided. In one aspect, the hybrid-electric propulsion system includes at least one propulsor that includes a gas turbine engine and an electric machine mechanically coupled with a spool of the gas turbine engine. When idle operation is commanded, electrical power is provided to the electric machine to cause the electric machine to apply torque to the spool and fuel provided to the engine can be reduced. Thus, the electric machine is controlled to provide a power assist to maintain the engine at the commanded idle speed whilst reducing fuel consumption.

Abstract: A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having an access opening providing access to the interior. A tub can be located within the interior and can at least partially define a liquid chamber. A drum is rotatably mounted within the liquid chamber and at least partially defines a treating chamber. A clothes mover is located within the treating chamber and rotatable about a vertical axis. The clothes mover can include a base and a barrel.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns an explosive device, such as a mine, which comprises a flexible enclosure having a pair of separate chambers formed therein. Substantially non-explosive liquids, which when mixed form a liquid explosive material, are respectively disposed in the chambers in separated relation to each other. A closure member is initially disposed so as to block an opening which provides communication between the chambers. Upon removing a latch mechanism holding the closure member in place,the closure member is moved away from the opening to permit mixing of the non-explosive liquids, thereby forming the liquid explosive material and arming the explosive device. A pressure-responsive igniter mechanism is disposed within the enclosure so as to be subject to the pressure condition of the liquid explosive material.
