Abstract: A method and system provides a unique data display tool for use in the investment area and utilizes color coded entries in various data displays to aid in the client's assimilation of investment data and information. More specifically, the method and system uses a plurality of colors that are superimposed over data contained in various data displays. Any one data display may contain a number of different such color overlays. As between different data displays, the same colors would be used for the same data presented in each.

Abstract: The mower front independent suspension assembly in some embodiments of the present invention includes a first suspension arm connected to the front of the lawn mower frame and a second suspension arm connected to the side of the lawn mower frame. In some embodiments, the first suspension arm is connected to the front of the frame at or near the longitudinal center of the frame, while the second suspension arm is connected to the side of the frame a distance from the front of the frame. Also, in some embodiments the cutter deck of the lawn mower is connected to the front independent suspension assemblies for movement therewith.

Abstract: A variable area exhaust nozzle has primary, axially movable flaps tied to an inner unison ring having a box-like cross section and axially movable external flaps tied to an outer unison ring of box-like cross section. The inner and outer rings are concentric, radially aligned, and separated by an engine case. The rings are interconnected by a plurality of pins extending radially from within the outer ring box section to within the inner ring box section through axially extending slots in the case between them. The pins are attached to the rings in a manner preventing relative axial movement therebetween and permitting relative radial movement. When one of the rings is actuated in an axial direction, the other moves axially therewith, the axial actuation force being transmitted by the interconnecting pins. The pins also resist the overturning moment on the rings caused by loads on the nozzle flaps.

Abstract: The neck portion of a rotor blade includes an annular, axially projecting segment integral with the neck and having side edges abutting corresponding segments of adjacent blades to form a segmented annular ring which cooperates with static structure to define an interstage annular seal. Each blade also includes an air dam extending laterally from each side of the root neck and extending radially between the blade platform and the annular seal segment. The air dams of adjacent blades also abut each other to define an annular seal which prevents the axial flow of air across the rotor stage under the blade platforms between the blade root necks. In a preferred embodiment thin strips of silicone rubber are used to seal any gaps between the abutting edges of adjacent blades.

Abstract: Semiconductor material stress sensors are provided where the sensing resistors therein have good electrical stability while being sufficiently protected without degrading sensor performance. This is accomplished through control of the locations of the maximum concentrations of the resistor dopant. The mounting of semiconductor stress sensors on mounts of a different material type in a manner minimizing offset temperature shifts is disclosed.

Abstract: A flow diverter located in a cylindrical duct has two opposite side sections of the duct formed of semi-circular cross-section movable between an open position for flow through said cylindrical duct and a closed position where the side sections cooperate to block flow through said duct, said side sections have the same width and both have ends of semi-circular shape; said semi-circular shape having a diameter equal to the width of the section. Pivots extend outwardly from each end of each section and are mounted for pivotal movement in a mounting structure fixed externally of said duct. Said opposite side sections have a cooling liner which has an overlapping sealing arrangement.

Abstract: A method of etching a submerged semiconductor material structure in which an electrically connected metal mask is utilized to electrolytically etch a semiconductive substrate without damaging the remainder of the structure.

Abstract: A compressor construction is shown, in combination with a jet engine, having a drum rotor with axially broached attachment slots therein. Blade sticks, each having an axial root shaped to fit the attachment slots and a platform which extends the length of the drum are positioned on said drum. Each blade stick has a plurality of blades located thereon, one for each stage of the compressor. A one-piece stator case with fixed cantilevered vanes is positioned over said drum rotor and blade sticks to form the completed compressor. A drum rotor has an integral shaft which is connected to a turbine. A method of assembling the compressor includes an assembly fixture on which the drum rotor can be positioned with the stator case and blade sticks being aligned so that they can be slid into place on the drum rotor.
