Abstract: A method of manufacturing a prosthetic socket having an access port that employs a housing with a cylindrical extension. The method includes the step of molding a shell over a socket model and a mold dummy to form an intermediate port. The method additionally includes the step of trimming the intermediate port along a trim line passing through a cavity defined by the mold dummy to create a circular opening in the shell. The mold dummy has a first diameter generally conforming to a diameter of the cylindrical extension of the housing. The method further includes the steps of passing the cylindrical extension through the opening and securing the access port to the shell.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling shocks on airfoil lower surfaces are disclosed. An airfoil in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes an upper surface portion having an upper surface positioned to face generally upwardly during the level flight, and a lower surface portion having a leading edge region, a trailing edge region and a lower surface positioned to face generally downwardly during level flight. A shock control protrusion extends away from the lower surface and is positioned to generate a shock extending away from the lower surface at a least one flight condition.

Abstract: A property manager layer retrieves from a persistence layer values of properties used by a software application and provides the values to the application at run time. A user interface layer accepts user input to update at least one of the properties. The persistence layer is responsive to the user interface layer to update the properties based on the user input. The user interface layer notifies the property manager layer that the at least one of the properties has been updated. The property manager layer notifies a property listener for the software application if any updated property value is used by the software application. The property listener modifies at least one program variable in the software application that is dependent on an updated property value without restarting the software application.
