Abstract: A furling system adapted for use with an air cushion landing system (ACLS) coupled to a hull of an airship is disclosed. The furling system includes a deployable cover having two lateral edges. The cover is configured to cover at least a first portion of the ACLS when the cover is deployed. The furling system also includes a fairing that has an inlet and is coupled to the hull of the airship. The furling system also includes a pair of cables each coupled to at least one point along respective lateral edges of the cover. The pair of cables is configured to selectably draw the cover into the fairing through the inlet when the pair of cables is activated in a first direction, thereby stowing the cover and exposing the ACLS.

Abstract: A terminal multiplexer structure comprising a plurality of line interface cards and a plurality of trunk interface cards wherein each of the line interface cards is connected to at least two of the trunk interface cards and comprises a switch for switching the connection transmission from the line interface board between the two trunk interface cards.

Abstract: A tool 1 to be installed into a test module 6 of a Bond Test System 5 to provide the capability to directly view a bond shear test. This capability enables a vision system camera 9 coupled to magnifying optics 8 to provide real time viewing, image capture, and vision guided automation for more effective analysis, additional analytic capability and improved ergonomics. This greatly enhances the utility of the shear test function of the Bond Test System 5.

Abstract: An apparatus to attach to a Multifunction Bond Strength Test Machine 1 to incorporate a digital camera 13 with zoom optics 14 and integrating software incorporated in a computer 16, including; A secure and reliable mounting system 15 that attaches the camera 13 and optics 14 to the Multifunction Test System 1, computer with embedded frame grabber circuitry 16 and software controls for the coordination of automatic positioning of test sites 9 under the camera 13 and identification of the specific test sites 9, software for capture and manipulation of the digital image of the test site 18, and software for quantification of image features.

Abstract: Inhibition of ADH-Stimulated osmotic water flow employing anhydro-7-chloro-6-demethyltetracycline (ADC) is disclosed. Also disclosed is the use of ADC in the inhibition of aldosterone-stimulated sodium transport.
