Abstract: A cladding system including a panel guide, wherein said panel guide is configured to provide alignment and spacing between panels. The panel guide having a central gap, at least one or more weather strip mounting area, and a mounting extension, wherein said mounting extension is configured to mount said panel guide to the wall. The cladding system further include a U cover that is configured to install in the central gap. The U cover includes a screw cover place holder that is configured to secure a screw cover for covering a fastening screw that is used to secure the panel guide and said U cover to the wall.

Abstract: A system including a panel implement that is configured to protect a wall of a building, in which the panel implement having a plurality of panels including a first panel and a second panel. Each of the plurality of panels has a male end section and a female end section, wherein the male end section of the first panel is configured to lock into the female end section of the second panel. A locking clip engages the male end section to hold the first panel in place against the wall.

Abstract: The invention relates, in various aspects, to systems and methods for providing a current status of a retirement plan of an employer. A server receives a report request transmitted from a client operated by a user. In response to the report request, the server generates a plan health report including the current status of the retirement plan based on employee information related to the retirement plan. The current status of the retirement plan includes information indicating retirement readiness of employees of the employer. The server transmits the plan health report for receipt by the client. The employee information related to the retirement plan is stored in a database.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for managing a investment product that guarantees minimum withdrawal availability during retirement and provides for fee refunds upon termination of an investor's participation in the plan.

Abstract: A pivotable pylon for carrying stores, such as ordinance, sensors and pods external to an aircraft includes an elongated strongback coupled against an external surface of the aircraft and generally parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof. An elongated pivoting structure is pivotally coupled to the strongback for parallel pivotal movement relative thereto. A locking mechanism locks the pivoting structure in a selected one of a plurality of angular positions relative to the strongback. At least one stores rack is coupled to the pivoting structure for receiving and coupling at least one stores item to the pivoting structure. An aerodynamic fairing may be disposed on the pylon to decrease drag. The pylon can be mounted on either side of the aircraft and in any one of a plurality of longitudinal stations, and enables the aircraft to carry stores that are too large for its equipment bays, and to carry an optimal load of stores.

Abstract: A dual function antenna operating at two frequency bands for both the radar uzing function and the telemetry function with a single antenna cavity. A pair of flush-mounted, cavity-backed circumferential slots are located near the base of a missile body and are fed out-of-phase to produce an N=1 mode gain pattern with peaks at nose-on and aft aspects. Each slot is excited by a probe and tee-bar transition. A telemetry band trap circuit is incorporated into the radar band probe and tee-bar to isolate telemetry band energy. A single telemetry probe is inserted into the cavity and spaced apart from the radar probe to excite the antenna at telemetry frequencies.
