Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses provided for predicting a Mach Tuck situation. The method includes generating a flight plan for the aircraft of at least one supersonic flight path segment in accordance with a flight plan criteria entered via an input interface wherein the aircraft traverses at least one supersonic flight path segment at an airspeed approaching or exceeding a supersonic airspeed; predicting based on an impact of a weather condition forecast to occur at a selected region of the supersonic flight path segment while the aircraft is operating at the airspeed approaching or exceeding the supersonic speed that an overpressure condition will occur causing an aerodynamic effect to the aircraft that results in the aircraft exceeding an operating limitation causing the Mach Tuck situation; and modifying the flight plan in a manner to lessen the impact of the weather condition forecast to occur to prevent the Mach Tuck situation.

Abstract: A slag door for a melting furnace for the production of steel is suitable to be associated with an aperture provided in a lateral wall of the melting furnace and to cooperate with a slag channel provided inside the melting furnace itself.

Abstract: A filtration assembly filters diesel fuel used by a diesel engine and includes a filter element disposed within a housing. The housing includes an unfiltered fuel inlet and a filtered fuel outlet. The filter element disposed within the housing receives fuel from the fuel inlet. The filter element defines a peripheral wall sealably engaging filter media defining an unfiltered side and a filtered side of the filter element. The unfiltered side is enclosed with an impermeable barrier affixed to the peripheral wall and the filtered side is enclosed with a permeable water diffuser through which filtered fuel passes. A water separator assembly is disposed externally to the filter element receiving filtered fuel from the water diffuser. The water separator assembly includes water separator media preventing water from passing into the separator. The separator assembly interconnects to the filtered fuel outlet providing filtered, dewatered diesel fuel to the diesel engine.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dampening oscillations of an elevator car retains the active control of an elevator system in the presence of displacement. This active control may be maintained via the use of an actuator that tailors Lorentz force relative to the level of displacement along a non-linear continuum.
