Abstract: Fuselage barrel assemblies and methods of assembling fuselage barrel assemblies are disclosed herein. The fuselage barrel assemblies include a first barrel section and a second barrel section, which is interfaced with the first barrel section to define a barrel joint between the first barrel section and the second barrel section. The fuselage barrel assemblies also include a split longeron, which extends across the barrel joint and is attached to both the first barrel section and the second barrel section. The split longeron includes a first longeron section, which is attached to the first barrel section, and a second longeron section, which is attached to the second barrel section. The split longeron also includes a longeron joint that attaches the first longeron section to the second longeron section. The methods include methods of assembling the fuselage barrel assemblies.

Abstract: Lack of physical display space on a mobile computing device complicates the entry of data since the input elements (usually “keys” on a virtual keyboard) are too small to accurately touch. Using on-screen virtual keyboards usually requires placing the virtual keyboard on the screen so that it does not obscure the underlying input field which further reduces the size of the input “keys”. As described herein, a semi-transparent layer is created representing a virtual on-screen keyboard with the specification of “areas of interest” (areas or bounded portions of the screen) which typically will contain the most important screen content. These areas of interest are given enhanced visibility by increasing the transparency of the virtual keyboard in those bounded areas.

Abstract: Provided herein is a new form of 3-fluoro-7-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxathin 10,10-dioxide, which demonstrates higher stability relative to other forms of 3-fluoro-7-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxathiin-10,10-dioxide. In particular, this new form affords less dosage critical administration of 3-fluoro-7-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxathin 10,10-dioxide relative to other forms. The new solid form of 3-fluoro-7-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxathiin-10,10-dioxide has been determined and is provided herein.

Abstract: A construct for supporting a food item comprises a plurality of divider walls and a plurality of base panels. The divider walls are spaced from one another along a length of the construct. Each base panel is located between a pair of adjacent divider walls and connecting the adjacent divider walls. A microwave energy interactive element may overlie a surface of the construct.

Abstract: A hypodermic needle disposal system includes a housing forming an array of parallel cells, each to receive a tube containing a bonding resin. Each tube includes a rupture seal on its front end. A used needle is directed into a tube to pierce its rupture seal and embed itself in resin. When the resin bonds on the needle, the needle and tube are together removed from the cell for disposal. Tubes are restrained from free movement and from sliding out of their cells by a gravity locking engagement with the housing.
