  • Patent number: 11260967
    Abstract: An aircraft hubcap/wheel cover which uses ambient airflow (120 mph-175 mph) to rotate wheels on the landing gear of an aircraft accomplished by using slightly protruding slats, blades, scoops or other air capturing shapes, (once the landing gear has been lowered). These air capturing shapes are integrated as part of the hubcap/wheel cover during manufacture and are directly determined by ground speed applicable to that aircraft with the ultimate purpose being tire longevity. The wheel cover hubcap is a single piece design and has no moving parts.

  • Patent number: 7472161
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for ensuring client access to paired and unpaired response messages. In the method, the server detects one or more unpaired message which are stored in a data structure on the server. The data structure may be created when the server is staffed or automatically when the first unpaired message is identified. The method then uses a communications protocol between the client and server which allows the client to request on or more of the stored unpaired messages. The system of the-present invention uses a request module configured to receive a client request and prepare the client request for a response generator. The response generator receives the client request from the request module and generates an appropriate response. Next, an unpaired message module analyzes the response message generated by the response generator and distinguishes a paired message from an unpaired message. Then, the unpaired message module stores paired messages in an unpaired response data structure.

    Abstract: The present invention is a system for ensuring client access to paired and unpaired response messages. In the system, the server detects one or more unpaired message which are stored in a data structure on the server. The data structure may be created when the server is started or automatically when the first unpaired message is identified. The system then uses a communications protocol between the client and server which allows the client to request one or more of the stored unpaired messages. The system of the present invention uses a request module configured to receive a client request and prepare the client request for a response generator.

  • Patent number: 7209357
    Abstract: A universal modular power supply carrier mounts different sized power supplies within a substantially rectangular body designed for thermal and electromagnetic emissions control. The power supplies are preferably secured within the carrier body. Input connectors may be alternating current or direct current. The output connector may be pin, or blade, and socket with blind mating capability. One or more direct current voltages may be output by the carrier to a motherboard or other electronic circuitry. The universal modular power supply carrier may be contained in a one-size universal electronic equipment cabinet.
