Abstract: Aspects of the invention provide a method of constructing a patch for use in reconstruction of tubular anatomical structures, the method comprising: a) providing by a system including a processor and a graphical user interface acquiring a digital image of a tubular structure; b) displaying the digital image on the graphical user interface; c) segmenting by the system the digital image; d) generating by the system a three dimensional rendered model of the tubular structure based on the segmented digital image and displaying the three dimensional model on the graphical user interface; e) defining by the system an axial central line through the tubular structure; f) identifying by the system one or more incision points on a surface of the model; g) identifying by the system the diameter of the tubular structure, taken from the central line, at each of a plurality of cross sections through the tubular structure; h) simulating by the system one or more cuts through the tubular structure corresponding with the iden

Abstract: Test rigs and methods for performing functional tests on a cabin management system (CMS) of a passenger cabin of an aircraft or other mobile platform are disclosed. In some embodiments, a test rig comprises a plurality of components of the CMS functionally integrated in a manner representative of the installation of the components in the passenger cabin; and a framework supporting the functionally integrated components. The layout of the components on the framework is non-dimensionally representative of the installation of the components in the passenger cabin.

Abstract: A transport system suited for transporting a turbine engine mounted to an engine docking unit is provided. The transport system is capable of adjusting the attitude of the docking unit in at least the lateral and longitudinal directions relative to the engine to facilitate the loading and unloading of the turbine engine to and from the transport system.
