Abstract: Ice detection test apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed. In some cases, ice detection and precautionary system shut-down event reduction systems and related methods are provided. The system utilizes a turbine engine ice detection apparatus that includes and engine pressure simulation device, an air moving device, and a first air pressure sensor associated with the engine pressure simulation device. The embodiment further includes an ice monitor controller that receives inputs from the first air pressure sensor and at least one second sensor located adjacent a turbine engine intake. The ice monitor controller performs comparisons of inputs from these sensors against each other and stored values to determine actual icing conditions then generate warnings on a display to an operator. The exemplary control section has multiple modes including manual, semi-manual and automatic.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing a civic organization in which members are enlisted for advancing a common interest together with charitable organizations enlisted to be partners with the civic organization. Points are awarded to members based upon meritorious conduct such as service to one of the charitable organizations. Members may advance within the civic organization in response to the awarding of points. Members may receive benefit opportunities from rewards partners offering goods and services to members.

Abstract: Conversion arrangement for kayak with stabilizer, keel, rudder, and rudder pedals. A functional accessory arrangement for converting a kayak that will use the same kites as the kite surfer's use for propulsion, the conversion includes a rudder, keel and stabilizer, the stabilizer is designed to keep the kayak upright even if the kite is 90 degrees to the vessels beam and it allows the kayak to tack into the wind.
