Abstract: A centerbody assembly includes a center tube, a forward bulkhead, an aft bulkhead, at least one baffle, and an outer skin. The center tube extends circumferentially about an axial centerline. The center tube extends between and to a first axial tube end and a second axial tube end. The forward bulkhead is mounted to the center tube at the first axial tube end. The aft bulkhead is mounted to the center tube at the second axial tube end. The at least one baffle extends axially from the forward bulkhead to the aft bulkhead. At least the forward bulkhead, the aft bulkhead, or the at least one baffle include one or more thermal beads. The outer skin circumscribes the center tube, the forward bulkhead, the aft bulkhead, and the at least one baffle to form an acoustic cavity radially inside the outer skin.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a sound-absorbing exhaust center plug for an aircraft gas turbine engine comprising a center plug adapted for attachment within an exhaust nozzle of the engine. The center plug comprises an outer skin, and at least one cavity within the center plug and the at least one cavity extending between a forward bulkhead and an aft bulkhead, where the aft bulkhead is canted inwardly. The outer skin includes a plurality of outer skin openings providing an acoustic pathway through the outer skin and into the at least one cavity.

Abstract: A method of detecting serous ovarian cancer, particularly early stage serous ovarian cancer is described. The method uses up to sixteen compounds found in the blood serum of a person, and determines that changes of some portion of these sixteen compounds can determine the presence of serous ovarian cancer in a women with up to 100% accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity.
