Abstract: An ultra lightweight tubular sign frame entirely made from polyvinyl chloride otherwise known as PVC. This material is very strong, yet extremely lightweight. Tubular sign frame is comprised of hollow tubing and hollow fittings that can be assembled by hand in just minutes. It's an upright design and completely free standing allowing it to be easily transported in a vehicle or stored in a garage. Tubular sign frame is designed to hold, exhibit and display two dual sided, double stacked separate sign boards one above the other. This unique design concept ensures the tubular sign frame to stand tall and achieve maximum visibility. Pre-drilled holes at the top of the frame are supplied to insert mini flags to further enhance and maximize exposure of the complete tubular sign frame. The design also has removable threaded cement-filled stands which can easily be attached or detached from the frame in seconds.

Abstract: High-temperature thermochemical energy storage materials using doped magnesium-transition metal spinel oxides are provided. -transition metal spinel oxides, such as magnesium manganese oxide (MgMn)3O4, are promising candidates for high-temperature thermochemical energy storage applications. However, the use of these materials has been constrained by the limited extent of their endothermic reaction. Embodiments described herein provide for doping magnesium-transition metal spinel oxides to produce a material of low material costs and with high energy densities, creating an avenue for plausibly sized modules with high energy storing capacities.

Abstract: A new compact, scalable, self-contained, highly efficient computer system comprised of stackable microchips within a thermal vessel. The power fed to this computer system is simultaneously transmitted directly & via a tuned resonance frequency to and through each stacked microchip and regulated via several feedback sensory coils. Inductive transceiver coils established within the microchip condition and redistribute power to its adjacent chipset. Fiber optics & power cables are located within the photonic tubular core to allow gated communication between stacked microchips. Alignment and separation of said microchips is maintained by controlled magnetic & electromagnetic poles.

Abstract: Aircraft passageway storage units are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a storage assembly to be supported on a floor of an interior of a fuselage of an aircraft. The storage assembly has a corner to be adjacent a passageway of the interior of the fuselage, and the passageway is to extend around the corner. The example apparatus also includes a door coupled to the storage assembly. The door extends from a first side of the storage assembly to a second side of the storage assembly and defines a portion of the corner. The door is to cover an opening of a compartment of the storage assembly when the door is in a closed position, and the opening is to extend from the first side to the second side.

Abstract: A slam latch mechanism employs an actuation lever rotatable from a first position to a second position and having a prong extending therefrom. A bolt, resiliently retractable from an extended position with the actuation lever in the first position, has a land with a slip surface engaging the prong in the second position to retract the bolt. A dampener extends from the slip surface by a margin to engage the prong in the first position to prevent metal to metal contact by the prong and slip surface with the actuation lever in the first position.

Abstract: A digital television terrestrial satellite conversion apparatus comprising a transformer assembly that houses a matching transformer, and an insulator assembly. A bolt assembly has mounting means to mount the transformer assembly and the insulator assembly onto a satellite dish assembly. Means to increase a digital radio frequency signal exists by reflective gain from a rear of an array for receiving terrestrial digital and high-definition broadcast signals by the satellite dish assembly. A bridge coaxial cable extends from the matching transformer. The bridge coaxial cable transmits the terrestrial digital and high-definition broadcast signals.

Abstract: An in-space spacecraft servicing system (10) includes a servicing spacecraft (22) and a propellant module (24). The servicing spacecraft includes a client servicing system (136), as well as navigation avionics (108) for independent flight operation and a servicing propellant tank (170). The propellant module moves the servicing module from an upper stage drop off location and releases it in proximity to a client spacecraft (16) for a servicing mission. It has a propellant tank (172) with capacity for multiple missions and is used to refill the servicing spacecraft's propellant tanks between missions. Either or both the servicing spacecraft and the propellant module may have navigation avionics. The servicing spacecraft also has a universal docking adaptor (70) for different client spacecraft, and can convert a client spacecraft from non-cooperative to cooperative.
