Abstract: A composite panel suitable for heating an environment includes a face sheet having a 3D woven structure and abutting the environment, and a first core layer positioned on a side of the face sheet opposite the environment. The 3D woven structure includes at least one z-fiber extending in a first direction, the first direction representing a thickness of the face sheet. The woven structure further includes a plurality of weft layers, each having a weft fiber extending in a second direction, and a warp layer disposed between the plurality of weft layers, the warp layer having a warp fiber extending in a third direction. The z-fiber extends along the plurality of weft layers across a full extent of the 3d woven structure in the first direction.

Abstract: An air data probe includes a probe body including a probe wall. The probe body is formed from a first material by direct energy metal deposition. An insert is positioned in the probe wall. The insert is formed from a second material different from the first material. The insert is encapsulated in the probe wall via the direct energy metal deposition. A method of forming an air data probe includes forming one or more thermally conductive inserts, and encapsulating the one or more inserts into a wall of an air data probe via direct energy metal deposition. The air data probe is formed from a first material and the one or more inserts are formed from a second material different from the first material.

The system includes a bidirectional motor, a gearbox, the gearbox having and input shaft operably coupled to the motor and an output shaft; the gear box configured to ratiometrically step down the number of turns at its output shaft relative to its input shaft; a wiper arm for sweeping a surface of a windshield, the wiper arm operably coupled to an output of the gearbox; and a controller in operable communication with the motor, the controller configured to execute an algorithm to control the position and speed of the motor to achieve a configured sweep angle and configured sweep speed for the wiper arm.

Abstract: A windshield wiper system for an aircraft is provided and includes a motor, an output shaft, a wrap spring and crank rocker mechanism (WSCRM) to which the motor and the output shaft are coupled and a controller. By way of the WSCRM, first directional rotation input to the WSCRM from the motor via a two-stage gear reduction is converted such that the output shaft drives wiper blade oscillation through a first sweep angle and second directional rotation input to the WSCRM from the motor is converted such that the output shaft drives wiper blade oscillation through a second sweep angle. The controller is configured to control the motor such that the first directional rotation is continuously or non-continuously input during first or second flight conditions, respectively, and the second directional rotation is continuously input during third flight conditions.

Abstract: A pitot tube includes a substantially cylindrical body portion having an interior defining a flow passage. A tip portion extends along a pitot tube axis from the body portion. The tip portion includes a high thermal conductive insert. The body portion and the tip portion including the high thermal conductive insert are integrally formed.

Abstract: A method of making an article includes placing a high thermal conductive insert in a mold. A liquid metal composition is introduced into the mold into contact with the high thermal conductive insert. The liquid metal composition in the mold is solidified to form a solid metal article with the high thermal conductive insert retained therein, and the solid metal article with the high thermal conductive insert retained therein is removed from the mold.

Abstract: A method and an information handling system (IHS) renders a graphical user interface (GUI) from a remote device using a local storage. An interface controller detects a first event used to initiate access to the GUI at the remote device. The controller requests GUI frame buffer data corresponding to the first event, and GUI change data from the remote device. The GUI change data correspond to respective events that can trigger changes to the GUI. In response to receiving the requested data, the controller provides a first locally-rendered GUI using the GUI frame buffer data. The controller stores the GUI change data in local storage. The controller then detects a second event/interaction via the first locally-rendered GUI and retrieves from local storage a relevant portion of the GUI change data. The controller provides an updated locally-rendered GUI using the relevant portion of GUI change data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering graphics using framebuffer nodes. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to a user via a display coupled to the IHS, where a portion of the display is rendered using a first framebuffer, detect a user' action corresponding to an event handler, retrieve, using a red-black tree, a second framebuffer associated with the event handler, and render the portion of the display using the second framebuffer.

Abstract: A method for managing the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) content of web pages is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes providing a set of web pages organized in a hierarchical structure. Each web page has an SEO content pattern associated therewith. The method establishes an inheritance scheme for the hierarchical structure such that the SEO content patterns of parent web pages are inherited by children web pages. The method further enables a user to override the inheritance scheme for selected web pages such that the SEO content patterns of the selected web pages override the SEO content patterns of their respective parent web pages. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A pitot tube includes a wall that extends longitudinally along an axis. The wall defines an inlet aperture at a longitudinal end of the wall, an outlet aperture opposite the inlet aperture, an interior cavity extending from the inlet aperture to an outlet aperture, a passage extending through and perpendicular to the wall having an outlet along an exterior surface of the wall, and an augmenting feature configured to reduce a static pressure at the outlet of the passage. In another embodiment, a wall defines a passage and an augmenting feature that modifies a flow direction of fluid flowing across an outlet of the passage such that a static pressure of the fluid at the outlet is reduced relative to the wall without the augmenting feature.
