Abstract: Systems and methods capable for use in the development of high-speed, shape-transitioning, inward-turning inlets for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles, and inlets formed thereby. The systems and methods preferably provide for designing high-speed inlets for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles, wherein unique solutions are defined in each osculating plane of the inlet. Such systems and methods optionally provide an optimization process for tuning the post throat-shock Mach number of the inlet, and/or designs a shock-capture surface using a parallel-streamlines methodology, and/or a double cowl-lip geometry to allow flow to spill overboard.

Abstract: A decorative, electrically lighted wreath has a plurality of color changing, concentric, LED bands of light that compliment interchangeable decorative graphic inserts. The bands and inserts can be circular, elliptical, square, rectangular or any desired geometric shape. The illumination and color of the bands is modified by the user via a controller device, either manually or remotely, to coordinate with the graphic inserts. The decorative wreath device also has means to store the graphic inserts.

Abstract: In a system, method and computer readable medium for managing message delivery, message delivery jobs are dynamically prioritized into a plurality of priority queues based on a delivery timeframe for each job. A delivery manager controls delivery of the message delivery jobs through a number of delivery channels and ports. A priority manager reviews jobs pending in the queues. If the priority manager determines that a message delivery job will not be completed within its delivery timeframe, the priority manager assigns a higher priority to the message delivery job.
