The processor unit is configured to determine the value of the status indicator and the value of the location indicator, and to provide immobilisation instructions to a control system of an aircraft to disable an aircraft function when the value of the status indicator is determined to be stolen, and the value of the location indicator is determined to be grounded.

Abstract: A method for excluding an aggressive incompatibility (AI) trait from Agaricus bisporus mushroom strains, wherein the method includes mating a culture of a hybrid mushroom line designated B18287-s82, a representative culture of the line having been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 68168, with a culture of the white mushroom line designated WBL-s290, to obtain an F1 hybrid mushroom strain designated J19109, a representative culture of the F1 strain having been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 68163. Upon fruiting a culture of the new F1 strain designated J19109 to obtain homokaryotic spores therefrom, one obtains cultures of homokaryotic lines from the homokaryotic spores from F1 strain J19109 and selects a culture of a homokaryotic line from the F1 strain J19109. The culture of a homokaryotic line from F1 strain J19109 is mated with a culture of the mushroom line designated J11500-s80, to obtain an F2 hybrid mushroom strain.

Abstract: A water-based graphene dispersion is made by shear stabilization. The method of preparing the water-based graphene dispersion using shear stabilization includes adding a composition containing a graphene powder, a super wetter surfactant and a water dispersible rheology agent into water to form an aqueous mixture; and shearing the aqueous mixture under high pressures to break down the thick layers of the graphene powder to thin layers of graphene platelet particles and to form the water-based graphene dispersion with the graphene platelet particles dispersed in the water-based graphene dispersion. The water-based graphene dispersion is stable without visible phase separation after storage at room temperature for at least one year or even more than one year.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of graphene exfoliation and/or stabilization. Both graphene and silica are mixed in an organic solvent to form a liquid precursor, which is then directed through an orifice formed by a metal cylinder and a flat metal plate. The metal cylinder is pressed against the flat metal plate by a high pressure. The high shear between the metal cylinder and the flat metal plate breaks down the thick layers of graphene to thin layers, which are stably dispersed in the gel formed by the silica.

Abstract: A swing wall assembly is provided. The assembly may have a fixed wall attached to a supporting surface of the space. A geared hinge connects a swing wall to the fixed wall so that the swing wall may be offset from the supporting surface by a caster distance. A caster assembly may protrude from a lower portion of the swing wall by the caster distance so as to be moveable along the supporting surface. The swing wall may be connected to a header by way of a self-aligning lock. A sliding lock may connect the swing wall and or a pod wall that can be operatively associated with the swing wall opposite the fixed wall. The pod wall allows the swing wall assembly to selectively close off different types of spaced within an enclosed space of a recreational vehicle.
