  • Publication number: 20260029115
    Abstract: A light fixture assembly for assembly into a ceiling component channel includes an elongated tray with a base with a first side, a second side and a first opening. The base has first and second longitudinally extending walls extending from the second side. The first longitudinally extending wall has a first coupler. The second longitudinally extending wall has a second coupler extending inwardly toward the first longitudinally extending wall. A first adjustable bracket includes a first portion coupled to the first coupler and a second portion coupled to the second coupler. The first portion and the second portion couple the elongated tray to the ceiling component channel. The light fixture assembly further includes a light assembly. A coupling assembly couples the light assembly to the elongated tray. The coupling assembly is positioned around the first opening and adjacent to the second side of the base.

  • Patent number: 10742766
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for acquiring and transforming existing content (e.g., Hyper Text Markup Language HTML content) for display and execution on multiple platforms and architectures. In one embodiment, capture templates are created to harvest content from disparate content sources on multiple platforms. Data is extracted from the content from the disparate content sources using the created capture templates that drives extracting process. A standardized data stream is generated from the extracted data. The standardized data stream is provided for display on one or more different type of platforms.

  • Patent number: 10451002
    Abstract: A thrust reverser system for a turbine engine includes a support structure, a transcowl, a door, and an anti-rotation structure. The transcowl is mounted on the support structure and has an inner surface. The transcowl is axially translatable, relative to the support structure, between first and second positions. The door is pivotally coupled to the turbine engine, and has a forward edge and an aft edge. The door is rotatable between stowed and deployed positions when the transcowl translates between the first and second positions, respectively. The anti-rotation structure extends from the transcowl and is disposed adjacent to the aft edge of the door when the transcowl is in the first position and the door is in the stowed position. The anti-rotation structure is configured such that door rotation out of the stowed position only occurs subsequent to or concurrently with translation of the transcowl out of the first position.

  • Publication number: 20160084108
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for coupling a nacelle inlet assembly to an engine fan housing structure that provides adequate clearance and access for removing a blisk fan from a turbofan engine. This is accomplished by utilizing a nacelle inlet forward compartment, referred to herein as the “D-lip”and an acoustic liner that are inseparable and removable as an integral unit, providing sufficient clearance for removable of the blisk fan. The nacelle inlet assembly may be slidably coupled to the engine fan housing structure, minimizing assembly interfaces and therefore overall aircraft engine weight.
