Abstract: A turbine nozzle includes a hollow vane mounted between inner and outer bands. The inner band includes a mounting flange between forward and aft lips. An aft pocket is found in the inner band between the flange and aft lip. And, an impingement bore extends through the flange into the windward half of the pocket and is directed aft toward the opposite leeward half of the pocket for co-rotation with purge flow during operation.

Abstract: A heat transfer apparatus, includes a member defining a wall exposed to fluid flow in a predetermined direction of flow; and a plurality of turbulators disposed on the wall. Each turbulator includes an upright front face which generally faces the direction of flow, and a back face which defines a ramp-like shape tapering from the front face to the wall.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to 2-amino-quinoline derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders. The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of ?-secretase, also known as ?-site cleaving enzyme and BACE, BACE1, Asp2 and memapsin2.

Abstract: This invention is an integrated alphabetic language teaching system that facilitates teaching multiple levels of the arts of writing and reading to individuals aged one year and older. This invention reverses traditional methods of written language development by enabling writing prior and preliminary to reading. This invention initially teaches a set of orthographic graphemic segmental strokes by drawing geometric constructs called instructional entities composed entirely of the same orthographic graphemic segmental strokes that will subsequently be individually taught and practiced, thereby providing a student with a fundamental enabling skill with which the entire sets of 26 majuscule, 26 miniscule, 10 numerals, 14 punctuation marks and the entire lexicon of the English and other alphabetic languages may be constructed.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically authenticating a user to applications in a network environment. After an initial authentication procedure, the user's identity is mapped into a network credential which includes the user's role, and which is formed into a cookie. To gain access to an application requiring authentication, the cookie is provided to a script, and the information contained in the cookie is used to obtain authentication data required by the desired application.

Abstract: An adjustable, flush mounted, over-center hook latch of the type employed to secure aircraft panels. The effective length of the latch arm is adjustable to correct misalignment of the components joined by the latch by moving the pivot axis of the latch arm relative to the fulcrum axis of the latch handle. This is accomplished by a pair of cooperating yoke members, one of which is mounted about the pivot axis and the other about the fulcrum axis and are slidable relative to each other by a driver. By the particular arrangement of the parts, the latch can be adjusted when installed and in its closed position by the driver being engaged with a conventional drive tool extending through a small opening in the latch handle.
