Abstract: A method, by a restaurant, of improving customer health, promoting hunger relief, and facilitating charitable giving by documenting tax deductible charitable gifts, comprises selling a reduced-portion meal product to a customer at the price of a corresponding full-portion meal product. The excess amount of funds collected (the price less the cost of the reduced-portion meal product) less an operating fee, and any additional funds donated by the customer, are transferred to a charity on the customer's behalf, such as a food bank or other hunger relief charity. A receipt memorializes the sale and documents the charitable donation. A customer may be issued a unique identifier, such as a card, upon the first purchase of a reduced-portion meal product. Upon subsequent purchases, the card identifies the customer and tracks his charitable donations. The customer periodically provided with a summary, such as to document tax deductions claimed for the charitable donations.

Abstract: An aircraft construction having an aircraft engine and an engine nacelle having a wall housing the engine. A cowl door is provided in the wall of the nacelle providing access to the engine to service it. An exhaust duct extends from the engine through the cowl door. The exhaust duct has a first duct section with an outlet end extending from the engine toward the cowl door with its outlet end adjacent the cowl door. The exhaust duct includes a second, separate duct section, having an inlet end, mounted in the cowl door and movable with the cowl door. The inlet end of the second duct section is located adjacent the outlet end of the first duct section, when the cowl door is closed, to have the first and second duct sections together directing exhaust from the engine out of the nacelle. When the cowl door is opened to service the engine, the second duct section moves away with the door making it easier to service the engine.

Abstract: A reservoir fill tube assembly (6) with an anti-leak valve includes a flapper valve (11) attached to the reservoir end (10) of the assembly (6). The valve (11) hangs open when reservoir pressure equals ambient pressure. When reservoir pressure exceeds ambient pressure and the reservoir (5) fluid attempts to exit through the fill tube (7), the flapper valve (11) closes and prevents leakage.
