Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a propulsor section including a rotor and blades, a gear train, a compressor section and a turbine section. A static structure includes a first case and a second case. The first case includes a first engine mount location. The second case includes a second engine mount location. The first engine mount location is axially near the gear train.

Abstract: A system and method for managing, routing and controlling devices and inter-device connections located within an environment to manage and control the environment using a control client is presented. A user provides commands via the control client to a server that maintains a representation of the environment and the devices within the environment. The server provides commands to devices present within the environment in response to user commands and other events, including events from the environment. The commands cause the devices in the environment to adopt specific desired states thereby causing the environment and the devices within the environment to create desired connections by and between the devices and to otherwise control and effect the environment.

Abstract: An electronic battery tester for testing a storage battery is provided. The tester includes a pair of Kelvin connectors that can electrically couple to terminals of the battery. Also included, is a source that can apply a time varying forcing function to the battery through the Kelvin connectors. A sensor that electrically couples to the Kelvin connectors can sense a response of the storage battery to the applied forcing function and provide a response signal. An analog to digital converter digitizes the response signal. Processing circuitry converts the digitized response signal into multiple Fourier components and determines noise in the response signal from a subset of the multiple Fourier components.

Abstract: A labeler for the near-perfect manual placement of self-adhesive labels onto compact disks which has a positioning cone with an elongated stock member, a flat surface with a diameter greater than that of the elongated stock member, and a point on an end of the positioning cone opposed from the elongated stock member. The labeler also has a positioning plate with a positioning hole in the center, a surface area upon which a self-adhesive label can be placed and a side area to add strength to the positioning plate. The labeler further has a cylindrical base with a flat lip member upon which the positioning plate can rest substantially flat, a flat bottom to keep the cylindrical base substantially flat when used on a substantially flat surface, a wall to keep the flat lip member lifted substantially off of the substantially flat surface and a hollow cavern into which a substantial portion of the positioning cone can fit. A method for affixing a label to a compact disk using the labeler is also described.

Abstract: A labeler for the placement of self-adhesive labels onto compact disks, having a positioning cone with a cylindrical extension, a flat surface with a diameter greater than that of the cylindrical extension, and a tapered end opposite the cylindrical extension, a positioning plate having a central positioning hole, and a surface upon which a self-adhesive label can be placed, and a base supporting the positioning plate, having a hollow space below the positioning plate.

Abstract: A construction element having a high strength to weight ratio, particularly useful in the fabrication of a boat hull, the construction element comprising:A first face layer of resin impregnated glass fiber cloth or glass fiber matting;An intermediate stiffening member comprising a laminate of:A. a flexible top sheet, preferably of paper;B. an intermediate foam layer, bonded to the top sheet; andC. a flexible bottom sheet, preferably of paper, bonded to the intermediate foam layer on the side opposite the top paper sheet; the laminate having:I. a first series of spaced slits extending through the top sheet and intermediate foam layer but not through the bottom sheet;Ii. a second series of spaced slits parallel to the first series of spaced slits and extending through the bottom sheet and intermediate foam layer but not through the top sheet, the second series of spaced slits being offset from the first series of spaced slits;Iii.

Abstract: A modular mobile communication console for two-way radio equipment used in vehicles such as automobiles, buses, trucks, boats, among others. The console provides theft-proof mounting adjacent the driver for communication equipment including controls, speakers, microphones and walkie-talkies and auxiliary items such as portable lights and switches for other equipment. The modular concept for mounting pieces of equipment to the console provides for installation convenience and for easy access to the equipment within the console for repair or replacement.
