Abstract: A telescoping aircraft door is disclosed having first and second panels that slide relative to one another to extend and retract as the door closes and opens, respectively. The first panel is hinged to the door frame in a traditional manner, and the second panel is fixed to the door frame by a linkage that limits the arc of the second panel. By selecting the location and length of the linkage, the relative movement of the two panels can be predictably controlled to reduce the depth of the door when closed and the length of the door when opened.

Abstract: FIG. 7 shows a camera system (700) that operates to time-stamp video content captured from multiple cameras (740) relative to a recorded and time-synchronized location of a portable tracking unit (722). The position of the cameras (740) is known to the system. Based on the time and position data for each uniquely identifiable tracking unit, an editing suite (770) automatically compiles a composite video made up from time-spliced video segments from the various cameras. Video or still images captured by the cameras (740)are cross-referenced against the client address stored in database (760) and related to the assigned, uniquely identifiable tracking unit (722). A server (750) is arranged to use the client address to send reminder messages, which reminder messages may include selected images taken by the composite video. Alternatively, a client (720) can use the client address to access the database and view the composite video.

Abstract: A method of receiving and replying messages with a hands-free device includes a step of application installation; a step of connection; a step of communication; a step of analyzing the notification message; and a step of voice replying. With the method, text messages sent between mobile devices can be converted into voice messages, so that the user does not have to fetch the mobile device and read the text message, which improves the driving safety when communication is conducted during driving. The user also replies with voice message, which further improves drive safety. Furthermore, the method will prompt the message sending end to install an application program when there is no application program at the message sending end, consequently all potential contacts can be ensured to install the application program.
