Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to display systems in the flight deck of an aircraft, and also to methods for providing such displays. More particularly, the displays and methods of the present disclosure are configured to integrate airport surface lighting information with information received from multiple air traffic control (ATC) communication channels, for purposes of increasing aircrew situational awareness and preventing runway incursions.

Abstract: A display system and method for an aircraft are provided. The display device includes a processing unit configured to receive arrestor bed information associated with a runway and to generate display commands based on the arrestor bed information; and a display device coupled the processing unit and configured to receive the display commands and to display symbology representing the arrestor bed information.

Abstract: An aqueous, heat and cold stable, non-alcoholic or slightly-alcoholic microemulsion based antimicrobial mouthwash composition with improved antimicrobial efficacy. The composition comprises a unique water-soluble matrix composite, at least one water-immiscible or water-insoluble antimicrobial agent, and optionally, a preservative or preservative system, a weak carboxylic acid, a coloring agent and other additives. Examples of antimicrobial agents include menthol, thymol, eucalyptol and/or methyl salicylate. A process for preparing the oral care composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for shared cache coherency for a chip multiprocessor or a multiprocessor system. In one embodiment, a multicore processor includes a plurality of processor cores, each having a private cache, and a shared cache. An internal snoop bus is coupled to each private cache and the shared cache to communicate data from each private cache to other private caches and the shared cache. In another embodiment, an apparatus includes a plurality of processor cores and a plurality of caches. One of the plurality of caches maintains cache lines in two different modified states. The first modified state indicates a most recent copy of a modified cache line, and the second modified state indicates a stale copy of the modified cache line.

Abstract: A method is provided for efficiently solving the matching problem in content-based publish-subscribe systems. Subscribers may define arbitrary boolean predicates as conditions to subscribe to the published event. The subscribers and their predicates can be organized in the form of a virtual Direct Acyclic Graph (DAG) such that a traversal of the DAG yields one or more matching subscribers. The present invention improves upon the conventional method of linearly matching individual subscribers against an event.

Abstract: A switch assembly which has a mount (12), an elongate member (14), a switch (16) and a fulcrum (18). Pressing on elongate member (14) provides a force to actuate switch (16). Elongate member (14) is resilient or, alternatively, is resiliently biased to return to an unactuated position. Fulcrum (18) is movable along a length of elongate member (14). Positions of fulcrum (18) along the length enables variation of the force to actuate switch (16). As a result of this variation, different tactile feel of the switch assembly can be provided depending on position of fulcrum (18) relative to switch (16). Fulcrum (18) can also be positioned along elongate member (14) to provide a locking position that prevents switch (16) from being actuated.
