Abstract: Bleed air systems for use with aircrafts and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a turbo-compressor including a compressor having a compressor inlet fluidly coupled to a low-pressure compressor of the aircraft engine and a compressor outlet fluidly coupled to a first system of an aircraft. The turbo-compressor also includes a turbine inlet fluidly coupled to a high-pressure compressor of the aircraft engine and a turbine outlet fluidly coupled to a second system of the aircraft.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for managing a medical practice. The disclosed method includes establishing a practice profile having at least one of an administrative parameter, a patient requirement parameter, and a surgeon identifier. The method further includes establishing at least one patient profile corresponding to a patient, wherein the patient profile includes at least one of a patient identifier, a patient requirement parameter, a patient requirement parameter due date, and a surgery identifier. A patient requirement completion date is received and stores, and is compared to the patient requirement parameter due date. A pathway to surgery document that includes the patient requirement parameter due date and the patient requirement completion date is automatically generated and electronically delivered to the patient.

Abstract: A web-based system that displays a plurality of web-based data files in a simulated animated format in a cost-effective and reliable manner is described. The web-based system includes a client system including a browser, a data storage device for storing the plurality of web-based data files, and a server system accessible by the client system and coupled to the database. The browser includes a viewer that sequentially displays the plurality of web-based data files to simulate an animation effect. The viewer creates an interactive animation of the web-based data files that is viewable without using additional browser plug-in software.

Abstract: A method of racing a plurality of competitors includes controlling a plurality of race competitors. A plurality of sequential stages for the race are provided. An initial position is associated for each competitor for each stage, and an end position is associated for each competitor for each stage. The respective end positions for the competitors in each stage constitute the respective initial positions for each competitor for the subsequent stage. Each competitor is moved from its initial position to its end position in each stage.
