Abstract: A device for connecting to the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, the device having at least one grooved aperture for manipulating airflow through the device as the airflow moves into the intake manifold of the engine. The grooved aperture consists of a series of concentric and parallel grooved sections, each section having a minor diameter and a major diameter and incrementally increasing diameters therebetween, such that each section forms a frustum, such that the length of the aperture has a grooved internal surface that provides structure for manipulating the airflow through the device.

Abstract: A system for virtually experiencing an aircraft includes a trailer, an aircraft fuselage, a cabin module, a head mounted display, and a controller. The aircraft fuselage is disposed in the trailer and defines an interior with a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is substantially unfurnished. The cabin module is disposed in the second portion and includes furnishings. The head mounted display is configured for movement within the interior. The controller is configured for generating a virtual aircraft interior based on a position and an orientation of the head mounted display relative to the interior of the aircraft fuselage and for controlling the head mounted display to display the virtual aircraft interior.

Abstract: A clip for retaining the connection of a socket fitting to a plug fitting of a receptacle connector. The clip includes a first connection end, a second connection end, and an elongated retaining portion. The first connection end include a tube aperture configured to be rotatably connected to one of a first tube and a second tube through having the tube inserted through the tube aperture. The second connection end includes a tube connector configured to be selectively connected around the other of the first tube and the second tube. The elongated retaining portion includes a first retaining end and a second retaining end, the first retaining end fixedly connected to and configured to bend in relation to the first connection end, and the second retaining end fixedly connected to and configured to bend in relation to the second connection end.

Abstract: A spacing block (12) having the grooved aperture(s) (10) that manipulate the incoming air charge of internal combustion engines for which it is retrofitted. The grooved aperture (10) consists of an opening of a minor diameter with a helical shape having a 45 degree slope and a flat bottom major diameter spaced at approximately 0.25″ itch diameter. This creates a 45 degree screw pitch through the thickness of spacing block (12). At the top and bottom of grooved aperture (10) consists of two chambers of 45 degrees starting at the major diameter and ending at the minor diameter of the helical shape.
