Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and aircraft for aircraft taxiing are provided. A particular method determines a location of an aircraft relative to a taxiway having a curved section. The method determines a first nose gear steering angle to steer the aircraft through at least a first portion of the curved section. The first nose gear steering angle is selected to cause nose gear of the aircraft to depart a taxiway centerline. The first nose gear steering angle is selected to keep a steering point of the aircraft substantially over the taxiway centerline as the aircraft traverses at least the first portion of the curved section. The steering point is located between the nose gear and main gear of the aircraft.

Abstract: An ocular pressure monitoring system includes a plurality of transducer assemblies that measure externally applied force(s) and/or peri-orbital edema from peri-orbital tissue areas associated with one or both of a patient's eyes. Each of the transducer assemblies has at least one external force transducer and/or one edema transducer, and at least one mounting that is shaped to secure the transducer(s) to at least one peripheral peri-orbital tissue area. A microprocessor is connected to the transducers by leads or telemetrically. A display unit is in communication with the microprocessor for displaying data representative of peri-orbital edema.

Abstract: A pressure impulse for initiating a pressure-impulse initiatable fuse is generated by an electric discharge created in a spark gap between electrodes of mutually opposite polarity. There are used electrodes which are movable relative to one another and voltage is applied to the electrodes when the distance between the electrodes is too great for an electric discharge to take place therebetween, whereafter the electrodes are caused to approach each other at least until a discharge occurs.

Abstract: An electric detonator cap has a casing, which accommodates an explosive detonator charge, an electrically ignitable means for firing the detonator charge, a chargeable and dischargeable electric energy source for igniting the firing means, and an electric circuit arrangement, including a controllable switch means connected between the energy source and the firing means, an electric delay circuit, and a decoder. The energy source is connectable via connecting wires extending out from the casing, to an electric current source for charging the energy source, and the decoder is electrically connectable to said connecting wires and is adapted upon receipt of a specific electric firing command signal supplied through said connecting wires to actuate the delay circuit in a manner to close the switch means after a predetermined delay time.
