Abstract: A nacelle for a jet engine having a selectively operated reverse thruster which redirects air flow to a cascade during a reverse thrust operation, the nacelle including a fancowl panel configured as a stationary partial cover for a jet engine; and a translating cowl panel configured to move transversely during a reverse thrust operation so as to expose a cascade for emitting reverse thrust airflow. In exemplary embodiments, a moveable automatic translating panel, or a rotatable hinge panel, or an extension portion of the fancowl is used to preserve clearance with an aircraft wing in a nacelle clearance area.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a safety valve chamber housing can include depositing a chamber housing material, and thereby gradually building up the chamber housing and forming a chamber in the chamber housing enclosed by the chamber housing material, the chamber being bounded by only a single solid structure of the chamber housing. A safety valve can include a piston, and a chamber housing having a piston bore and a chamber formed therein, the piston bore being in communication with the chamber, the chamber being enclosed by only a single chamber housing material. A well system can include a safety valve connected in a tubular string, the safety valve including a chamber housing with a chamber in communication with a control line, inner and outer walls of the chamber housing being made of a continuous chamber housing material.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to a failsafe subsurface controlled safety valve. In one embodiment, a failsafe subsurface controlled safety valve assembly includes: a tubular housing; a closure member disposed in the tubular housing, wherein the closure member is movable between a closed position and an open position; an operating piston operable to move the closure member between the closed position and the open position; and a trigger piston operable to move the closure member from the open position to the closed position.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel Rauwolfia alkaloid derivatives of formula (I) combinations of Rauwolfia alkaloid derivatives and a mitochondrial inhibitor, e.g. metformin, and the use of Rauwolfia alkaloid derivatives in combination with mitochondrial inhibitor for the treatment of cancer and for achieving clinical immunosuppression. The invention also relates to a fluorescence-based method for predicting the sensitivity of a cancer cell towards a compound of formula (I).

Abstract: Design information representing an electrical circuit is received and an electrical circuit condition requiring test is identified. A design verification test is determined, and evaluated for effectiveness in exercising the identified electrical circuit condition. Electrical circuit conditions include faults such as speed paths, races, coupling events, noise events, and voltage and temperature sensitivities.

Abstract: A detergent tablet in order to be readily dispensed from the detergent dispenser of an automatic dishwasher should be of a generally elliptical shape to a modified generally elliptical shape. This is a shape where a cylinder having a rectangular cross-section contained within the tablet shape has a diagonal dimension that is a minimum for such a shape. This is a diagonal of a cross-section along the minor axis of the tablet. This shape can be defined by the equation: ( x a ) p + ( y b ) p = 1 where 2a is the length of the major axis, 2b is the length of the minor axis, and p in an exponent having a value of between about 1.5 to about 25 extending to a shape where the sides disposed along the major axis are parallel and the sides defined by the minor axis have a defined radius.

Abstract: A camping-type container for a liquified gas fuel. The inventive container comprises: a container body formed of a transparent material such that a user can see the liquid level of the liquified gas fuel in the container; a top end structure provided on the top end of the container body; and a discharge valve provided in the top end structure, the discharge valve being a valve of the type attachable to a camping-type appliance.

Abstract: A garment which may be employed as a robe or alternatively, as a towel, is disclosed. The garment comprises a generally rectangular piece of toweling material having a predetemined length and width wherein the length is greater than the width. A narrow slit extends in the direction of the length approximately midway across the width of the garment, thus providing an opening for the head of a wearer when the garment is worn as a robe. The article further includes a second piece of material which is attached to the garment and which serves as a hood when the garment is employed as robe. The second piece of material is sized and configured so as to allow it to cover the slit when the garment is used as a towel, such as a beach towel, to minimize user discomfort due to sand contact. Fasteners may be employed to releasably connect the sides of the garment when it is used as a robe.
