Abstract: An aircraft wing box is disclosed having a first cover, a second cover, a partition extending between the first and second cover and configured to provide a fuel tight boundary between the first and second covers, a first joint coupling the partition to the first cover, and a second joint coupling the partition to the second cover. The first joint is a slip joint configured to inhibit fuel leakage across the slip joint whilst permitting relative movement between the partition and the first cover.

Abstract: An aircraft wing box is disclosed having a fuel tank with a fuel-tight boundary, upper and lower covers, forward and aft spars, and a partition including an inboard portion, an outboard portion, and a third portion between the inboard and outboard portions. Each cover is attached to each spar, the inboard portion of the partition is joined to each cover and joined to one of the spars, the outboard portion of the partition is joined to each cover and joined to one of the spars, each cover is joined to the partition. The inboard part, outboard part and third part of the partition are integrally formed as a single-piece; and the single-piece provides part of the fuel-tight boundary of the fuel tank.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium comprising instructions for providing a survey to a user comprises accessing a web site by the user, determining if the user is qualified to partake in a survey related to the web site, tracking the user's interaction with the web site when the user is qualified to partake in the survey, presenting the survey to the user based on the user's interaction, receiving responses to the survey, tracking the user's further interaction with the web site, determining if a page unload event followed by a page load event occurs within a period of time, determining if the user has left the web site when the page unload event followed by the page load event does not occur within the period of time, presenting a static first portion of an additional survey to the user, and presenting a dynamic second portion of the additional survey to the user based on at least one of: the user's further interaction with the web site, the user's interaction with the web site, and the user's re

Abstract: A method is provided for selectively providing power to at least one component of a vehicle-based receiver module for determining the presence and validity of a transmitted RF signal. The RF signal is a request signal for activating a respective vehicle accessory function. Power is provided to a receiver for a first period of time. The receiver is operated to receive any RF signal that may be present from a remote transmitting device. A received signal strength indicator (RSSI) associated with operating the receiver is determined. A determination is made whether the RSSI is greater than a first predetermined threshold. The power is terminated to the receiver after the first period of time if the RSSI is not greater than the first predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The color level in milkfat is reduced by heating milkfat to 200 degrees C. and 300 degrees C. for a period of less than tern minutes, preferably using an intimate thermal contact between the heater and the milkfat. The heater may in one embodiment have a heated inner core which may include a plurality of longitudinal or spiral or other grooves of channels on its outer surface to provide elongate flow paths for the milkfat.
