  • Patent number: 8876039
    Abstract: A folding wing for an aircraft comprises first and second inboard wing sections, and first and second outboard wing sections. The first and second inboard wing sections rotate about a centerline hinge, and a centerline spring applies force to the first and second inboard wing sections to rotate the first and second inboard wing sections from a stowed position to a deployed position. At least one of the first and second inboard wing sections translates along the axis of rotation of the first and second inboard wing sections as they move from the stowed to the deployed positions. The first and second outboard wing sections rotate between the stowed and the deployed positions about first and second outboard hinges.

  • Patent number: 6345244
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method, and product associate words, phrases, or other characters (“words”) to be translated with previous translations of such words, if a previous translation exists. The words to be translated, and their identifying attributes (such as, for example, formatting information), are extracted from one or more source files. The previous translations, and their identifying attributes, are extracted from one or more target files. If a previous translation does not exist, the words to be translated, and their attributes, are copied to create a pseudo-previous translation, with attributes. Each word to be translated is associated with a corresponding previous translation based upon commonalities of their attributes. Such words may also be associated based upon their respective locations in their respective files. Each word to be translated, and its attributes, may be stored with a previous translation in a source-target pair record of a source-target pair database.

  • Patent number: 6345243
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system, method, and product are provided to propagate an externally produced translation of a first occurrence of a word, phrase, or other group of characters to be translated (referred to herein as a “translatable source segment”) in a first source file to at least one occurrence of a corresponding target segment in one or more target files of a target project. The corresponding target segment corresponds with a second occurrence of the translatable source segment in any of the one or more source files. The source files may have the same file format, or two or more of the source files may have different file formats. Also, two or more source files may have character formats that are different from each other, and/or they may be written in different languages. In one implementation, the propagator propagates the externally produced translation to all corresponding target segments in the target project that correspond with the translatable source segment.
