Abstract: A method of suppressing contrails emitted by a propulsion system of an aircraft. A first fuel composition is fed into the propulsion system for a predetermined period. The expiry of the predetermined period is detected with a timer. Upon expiry of the predetermined period, a second fuel composition is fed into the propulsion system. The second fuel composition is more prone to cause contrails than the first fuel composition. Contrails generated by the propulsion system are detected as the second fuel composition is fed into the propulsion system. If a contrail is detected, the steps of the method are repeated.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for a junction box includes a face plate having left and right edge margins and a central opening. The face plate includes a first set of indicia adjacent a top edge of the central opening and a second set of indicia adjacent a bottom edge of the central opening. Each set of indicia includes ruler graduations indicating a distance from the left edge margin of the face plate to the respective ruler graduation.

Abstract: An acoustic tee mounting clip is configured to couple a ceiling bracket to a ceiling member. The acoustic tee mounting clip comprises a body having a lower portion, an upper portion, a first arm, and a second arm. The upper portion transitions to the lower portion through an offset connection portion being angled inward such that a portion of the lower portion is more inward relative to a portion of the upper portion. The upper portion comprises a first bent portion, a second bent portion, and a first cut-out, the first cut-out being disposed between the first bent portion and the second bent portion. The first and second arms are respectively disposed at distal ends of the first and second bent portions, wherein the first arm and the second arm bend outward from the distal ends and are configured to be fastened to a horizontal surface of the ceiling bracket.

Abstract: A method of contrail suppression. Data is generated with a sensing system onboard a first aircraft during a flight of the first aircraft. The data includes atmospheric information indicative of an atmospheric condition and/or contrail information indicative of a presence or absence of contrails generated by the first aircraft. A second aircraft is operated to perform one or more contrail suppression measures on a basis of the data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling processing of a substrate within a process chamber, comprising: performing statistical analysis on measurements of deposition profile of at least one previously processed substrate processed in the process chamber, wherein the deposition profile is based at least on modulating a power parameter of at least one power supply affecting a magnetron in the process chamber; determining, based on the statistical analysis, a model of the deposition profile as a function of at least the power parameter; fitting the measurements of deposition profile to the model; determining a power parameter setpoint for the at least one power supply using the fitted model based on a desired deposition profile of an unprocessed substrate; and setting the power parameter setpoint for processing the unprocessed substrate.
