Abstract: A power train for a vehicle may include at least two power sources configured to supply power for propelling the vehicle. Each of the power sources may include a power source output shaft. The power train may further include a transmission including at least two transmission inputs operably coupled to the at least two power source output shafts, and a single transmission output shaft configured to supply power to a propulsion member. The power train may also include a controller configured to control operation of the at least two power sources, and the controller may include a full-authority digital electronic controller (FADEC).

Abstract: A molded composite structure and a method of manufacturing a molded composite structure are disclosed. In one embodiment, an aircraft wing panel and a method for manufacturing an aircraft wing panel are disclosed. In another embodiment, the method of manufacturing a molded composite structure uses a resin transfer molding process.

Abstract: An orange-yellow-emitting zinc sulfide-based electroluminescent phosphor is described wherein the phosphor has a brightness of greater than 10 foot-Lamberts. More particularly, the phosphor has a brightness of at least about 13 foot-Lamberts and an x color coordinate from about 0.51 to about 0.56 and a y color coordinate from about 0.42 to about 0.48. The zinc sulfide phosphor is activated with manganese, copper, chlorine, and a metal selected from gold and antimony.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems providing a voice-based interface to credit report retrieval systems allowing users to order credit report data using a telephone or similar device. The present invention provides novel functionality and process flows directed to handling a request from a caller for a credit report, while providing a secure and easy-to-use voice interface. In one embodiment, the functionality associated with the present invention allows a customer to access his/her credit score via a telephone or other suitable voice-based device, and have a credit report mailed to his/her address. The use of a voice interface, instead of a traditional graphical user interface associated with web-based services accessible over a client computer, marks a departure from traditional credit reporting product channels and provides an opportunity to access a large market of consumers who do not regularly access the Internet.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating analysis of expected interest rates and, in some embodiments, other conditions and circumstances associated with a variety of different loan types. In one embodiment, the present invention allows for a network-based application allowing users the ability to assess for what loan interest rates they are eligible based on current interest rate data and credit analysis scores that are used to determine qualifications for one of a variety of interest rates. In one embodiment, the present invention enables a web-based loan rate analysis system that combines credit score analysis with analyses of collateral and debt/income to offer users the ability to learn for what loan interest rates they are eligible when purchasing or refinancing a home.

Abstract: A system for controlling fluid flow to an approximate constant rate is disclosed. The system includes a housing, a flow control element, a cutout formed in the flow control element, a valve element, and a spring. The housing has an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The ends are arranged and configured to receive piping. The flow control element is operatively positioned within the housing with the flow control element having an upstream end and a downstream end with a cutout formed therein. The fluid flows in the inlet and through the cutout into a larger chamber within the housing before exiting the outlet end of the housing in normal flow. A valve element is disposed within the housing adjacent and upstream of the flow control element. The valve element is positioned within the housing by a spring means which urges the valve element toward the outlet.
