Abstract: A single degree of freedom (SDOF) acoustic liner includes a porous face sheet, a substantially imperforate back sheet generally parallel to and opposing said porous face sheet and defining a thickness therebetween, and an acoustic core layer of contiguous adjacent resonant cavities disposed between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet. The acoustic core layer includes a first resonant cell having a first internal volume therein and a second resonant cell having a second internal volume therein different than the first internal volume. A cell partition wall extends between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet, and separates and seals the first resonant cell from the second resonant cell. In a thickness direction, and perpendicular to a plane generally parallel with the porous face sheet and the substantially imperforate back sheet, the first internal volume overlaps the second internal volume over the cell partition wall.

Abstract: An internal-combustion engine achieves much higher thermodynamic cycle efficiency than it is possible to achieve in other engines of the same type. It achieves this by operating with a much higher expansion ratio, without an increase in effective compression ratio. The engine geometric compression ratio is considerably larger than it is in conventional engines of the same type. It operates unthrottled most of the time, and the control of the volume of the intake air retained in the cylinder is performed by varying the timing of the intake valve closure. Ignition timing is after the top-dead-center most of the time. Suitable coordination of ignition timing control with intake valve timing control insures that the peak combustion pressure and temperature remain within acceptable limits.

Abstract: The Episode Builder according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention is a web-based computer application and its associated architecture that allows health care professionals to define and describe episodes of care. The Episode Builder provides a unique tool for these purposes. Using industry-standard code sets, the Episode Builder describes and defines an episode of care so that the health care professional can create and modify episodes for a variety of purposes. The three main components of the Episode Builder are a configurable and extensive code set management system, a suite of display panels that define the episodes themselves based upon the code sets, and a means to export the episode definition tables thus created to be used as inputs into an analytic program or a claims adjudication engine.
