Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a drag recovery scheme using a boundary layer bypass duct system. In some examples, boundary layer air is routed around the intake of one or more of the engines and reintroduced aft of the engine fan in the nozzle duct in a mixer-ejector scheme. Mixer-ejectors mix the boundary layer flow to increase mass flow.

A system comprises a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to: assign vehicles to support queues based on state data, generate a map display including locations of the vehicles, and generate a state display including the support queues, vehicle manager indicators corresponding to the support queues and state indicators corresponding to the state data.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a brain computer interface (BCI) including a light source subsystem, an interface transmitting light from the light source subsystem to a body region of a user, and a detector subsystem coupled to the interface and configured to receive light signals from the body region of the user. The light source subsystem, the interface, and the detector subsystem are coupled to other electronics providing power, computing functionality, and/or other functionality. The BCI is designed to be worn at a head region of a user and to generate optical signals that can be used to characterize brain activity of the user, where decoded brain activity can be used as inputs to control other systems and/or electronic content provided to the user.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a consolidated polymer film includes a first polymer layer having a first elastic modulus, wherein the first polymer layer comprises a non-melt-processible polymer comprising a polyimide, a poly(amide-imide), a block copolymer of a polyimide or a poly(amide-imide) or a mixture thereof, and a second polymer layer having a second elastic modulus, wherein the second polymer layer comprises a polyimide, a poly(amide-imide), a block copolymer of a polyimide or a poly(amide-imide) or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: Methods and systems for user communication in an online community and/or website are provided. User profile data may be accessed to from a memory. An analysis system compares the user profile data for the user with a time-dependent goal to determine a result. The time-dependent goal may be determined based on an analysis of a set of (successful) users. A user interface system generates a representation of the result for prompting the user to initiate a communication to a different user based on the time-dependent goal. The representation may comprise a metered representation indicating an amount of progress, by the user, toward the time-dependent goal.
