Abstract: A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a propeller gimbal operably coupled to the body of the UAV at the forward end and the propeller gimbal is configured to pivot the propeller about a gimbal pivot axis to change a propeller angle. A controller of the UAV may be configured to control an attitude of flight of the UAV by controlling operation of the motor, the propeller gimbal, and the control surface assembly. The controller may be further configured to determine in-flight trajectory modifications that may require high maneuverability via high angle-of-attack attitudes of flight that are implemented via the propeller gimbal and trajectories determined from a dynamics model of the fixed-wing UAV.

Abstract: A technique facilitates connection of tubulars along a tubing string via a linear motion. A first tubular is provided with a first connector end having a non-circular transverse cross-section, and a second tubular is provided with a second connector end having a corresponding non-circular transverse cross-section. The non-circular cross-section and the corresponding non-circular cross-section are designed to matingly engage when the first and second tubulars are moved linearly toward each other to form a tubing string. A seal is provided to seal the first connector end with the second connector end once linearly engaged. A locking mechanism may be employed to linearly lock the first connector end with the second connector end.

Abstract: Curable compositions having desirable attributes such as rapid curing rates and enhanced physical properties are prepared using admixtures of one or more (meth)acrylate-functionalized compounds and one or more reactive comonomers, such as 1,1-diester-1-alkenes (e.g., methylene malonates), 1,1-diketo-1-alkenes, 1-ester-1-keto-1-alkenes and/or icatonates.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to intelligently and dynamically controlling both changes made within EUC applications and the control rules associated with such changes. A similarity index is calculated/assigned for each data entry field (i.e., cell/intersection) and the controls implemented when a changes to data in the entry fields occurs is based on the similarity index. In other embodiments, a change to data entry fields dynamically prompts analysis of the change based on historical approval and/or denial patterns specific to the EUC application, the data entry field(s) and/or the user of the application. In response to the analysis the control rules may be dynamically updated, and applied to the current change. In other embodiments, inputs, such as reviewer's comments, are the basis for determining a need to update existing controls or add new controls associated with data entry field(s) and the conditions associated therewith are determined and applied.

Abstract: A protective enclosure for electrical components includes a body having front and end openings, the body further including front, rear, and two side panels. A door selectively closes the front opening. An end cap closes the end opening. A ledge surrounds the end opening, the ledge lying perpendicular to the front, rear, and side panels, and a plurality of apertures are provided along the ledge. A gasket provides a seal between the end cap and ledge. A plurality of fasteners embedded into the end cap engage with a plurality of clips assembled onto the ledge at the plurality of apertures so as to form a permanent, one-time-use closure that compresses the gasket and maintains compression thereof in response to nothing more than movement of the end cap toward the ledge in a single installation direction perpendicular to the ledge.

Abstract: A system of solar thermal collectors and an HVAC controller draw heated air through a solar thermal absorbing needle-punched propylene geotextile with limited permeability to air flow, into the interior of poultry livestock house. In various embodiments, the poultry livestock house is divided into zones. Groups of collectors are joined with breather holes on opposite sides of the collectors and solid sides on the ends of each group. Groups of collectors serve each zone of the poultry livestock house. In an embodiment of the system the Environmental Optimization System (“EOS”) provides a system for the intelligent control and monitoring the broiler poultry livestock structure environment through the utilization of a variety of environmental and livestock behavior sensors, apparatus for controlling the thermal collection and existing interior heating/air conditioning/ventilation (“HVAC”) systems, and Internet or cloud based intelligent control and monitoring capabilities of the system.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.
