  • Publication number: 20220340265
    Abstract: A vortex generator, includes a vane, mountable on an aerodynamic surface of an aircraft, and an actuator that rotates the vane between a stowed position and a deployed position. The actuator includes a linear actuator, composed at least in part of a shape memory alloy (SMA), that when thermally activated facilitates rotation of the vane between the stowed position to the deployed position. Thermal activation of the SMA is caused via one or more of joule heating, conduction, and induction in response to one or more of an electronic command signal and a wireless command signal. The electronic command signal and the wireless command signal may be transmitted in response to ambient conditions, aircraft flight conditions, and aircraft mission.

  • Publication number: 20200234244
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for providing profiles with limited permission level functionality in the network. In response to receiving a request to post the new employment listing, a collaboration system updates a permission list of the employment listing to provide a first user account with an administrator permission level in relation to the employment listing. The administrator permission level provides a first function and a second function in relation to the employment listing. The collaboration system receives a request to tag a second user account to the employment listing and updates the permission list to provide the second user account with a limited permission level in relation to the employment listing. The limited permission level provides the second user account with permission to perform the first function in relation to the employment listing but does not provide permission to perform the second function.
