Abstract: The kitchenware with semi-opening top is designed in such a way, so that its cover (6) opens without being removed from the main body (1) and apply in 2(a, b), or more positions for temporary release of vapor or foam during the cooking process, turning it to be more effective. This is achieved with the metal protrusions (7,8,9,10) on the utensil's cover (6) that apply on the bases of the main body (2,3,4,5) and the cover (6) remains closed or slightly open in the first scale (b) for less evaporation or more open in the second scale (a) for more evaporation.

Abstract: A camera-based obstacle detection system includes a first camera, a second camera, and one or more processors configured to acquire a first image from the first camera, acquire a second image from the second camera, determine a depth of an object based on a location of the object in the first image relative to a location of the object in the second image, and in response to the depth exceeding a threshold depth value, generate an alert.

Abstract: A helicopter collision-avoidance system is disclosed. An exemplary system includes at least one lamp, such as a light emitting diode (LED) lamp, an incandescent lamp, a halogen lamp, an infrared lamp, or the like; a radar emitter configured to emit a radar signal; a radar detector configured to receive a radar return signal associated with reflections of the emitted radar signal that are reflected from an object; and a radio frequency (RF) system configured to wirelessly transmit radar information associated with the received radar return signal to a radar information receiver configured to receive the wirelessly transmitted radar information. The light module is located at one of a plurality of light positions on an external surface of a helicopter.

Abstract: An airport surface collision-avoidance system (ASCAS). An exemplary system includes sensors (e.g., radar) at light modules about an aircraft, with user interface devices located with airport ground personnel and in the cockpit of the aircraft. The system helps to avoid collisions on the airport surface, i.e., during taxiing clear of airport buildings, during taxiing close to airport buildings, during gate operations (push-back and standing), etc. The system includes components for communicating sensor information to ground service equipment (tug tractor, baggage cart, refueling truck, etc.). The system can determine possible collision for any part of the aircraft (wingtip, tail assembly, engine cowl, fuselage, door, etc).

Abstract: A method for detecting faults in an aircraft is disclosed. The method involves predicting at least one state of the aircraft and tuning at least one threshold value to tightly upper bound the size of a mismatch between the at least one predicted state and a corresponding actual state of the non-faulted aircraft. If the mismatch between the at least one predicted state and the corresponding actual state is greater than or equal to the at least one threshold value, the method indicates that at least one fault has been detected.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for executing a single continuous altitude change by an aircraft to cruise altitude using an electronic flight bag via a flight management system. The method comprises the determination of an altitude change in a flight plan during the cruise phase of the flight plan. Based on the altitude change and a mathematical model of the aircraft an optimum vertical trajectory profile or the aircraft is determined from which an angle of attack (AOA) and a thrust is derived to achieve the optimum vertical trajectory. From the AOA and the thrust, the required aircraft control variables are determined that may be applied to the engines and the control surface actuators of the aircraft.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for nitrating photocleavable compounds comprising a photocleavable group linked to an effector moiety which are capable of releasing the effector moiety on irradiation with light or a group is capable of linkage to an effector moiety. The process employs copper (II) nitrate and acetic anhydride to nitrate substituted indolines at the 7-position. This reaction which proceeds in good yield and selectivity and can be carried out in the presence of the functional groups at the 4-position and/or the effector moiety which is typically linked via an acyl linkage to the heterocyclic nitrogen at the 1-position. These nitration conditions have the advantages of a favourable isomeric ratio of products and leaving the protecting groups intact, thereby giving additional scope for isomer separation.

Abstract: A transducer to measure pressure or temperature comprising a quantity of compressible material such as gas and a quantity of incompressible material such as liquid and proper means (16,17) to detect volume and interface(s) (14) changes of said compressible material induced by pressure or temperature variation. Radiation may be used to detect said changes. Both source (16) and detector (17) of radiation may be separated from said compressible and incompressible materials using appropriate waveguides (10,11) thus allowing for transducer miniaturization. The only deformable element of the transducer is said compressible material, every other part of it being substantially rigid this feature offering robustness and simplicity of construction. Provision is made for the in-situ calibration and flushing of the instrument when required.
