Abstract: The bush and shrub protective cover is a structure that is adapted to protect landscaping against physical injury from harsh weather conditions including, but not limited to snow, ice, heavy rain, hail, and high winds. The bush and shrub protective cover comprises a plurality of legs, a top cap, and a plurality of sides. The plurality of legs form the base upon which the bush and shrub protective cover is built. The plurality of legs support the top cap and the plurality of sides. The top cap has holes that allow water to flow through the top cap to the protected plants. The top cap is also formed with grooves to route excess water away from the protected plants. Each of the plurality of sides is formed with a plurality of wind flaps to control air flow through the bush and shrub protective cover.

Abstract: A method of operating a network node of a network, a network node, a network system, a computer-readable medium, and a program element A method (300) of operating a network node (101-104) of a network system (100), comprising the steps of generating (305) a signal to be transmitted, selecting (310) one of a plurality of communication channels (105-108) of the network system (100) for transmitting the signal, and, in case that the selected channel (105-108) is not ready for transmitting the signal, selecting (345) another one of the plurality of communication channels (105-108) for transmitting the signal.

Abstract: A system and a method according to the invention reduce wake turbulence of an aircraft in that a component affixed to the extremity of the wing of an aircraft disturbs the rolling action of the air in the region of the outer wing by periodic hingeing movements.

Abstract: To control and particularly steepen the landing glide path of an aircraft, a respective aerodynamic component mounted on each wingtip includes a fixed plane member and a pivotable control element pivotally connected to the fixed plane member. The pivot axis is perpendicular to the major plane of the wing. The pivotable control element can be selectively pivotally deflected about the pivot axis relative to the fixed plane member, so as to thereby increase the overall drag without influencing the overall lift of the aircraft. This achieves a fine adjustment that is superimposed on the basic landing configuration established by the setting of the flaps, spoilers, engine thrust, etc. By increasing the drag without influencing the lift, this steepens the landing glide path slope.

Abstract: A method for improving the precision of wind tunnel measurements provides a correction to reduce the influence of a suspension device. A model, such as an aircraft model, is held by the suspension device in a wind tunnel and has multiple suspension wires. By attaching one or more sleeves to each suspension wire, a plurality of measurements with identical model configuration are capable of providing data for extrapolating corrected measurement values for a plurality of aerodynamic characteristic variables measurable in a wind tunnel. Examples of sleeves include a slit along the sleeve length and an inner diameter of the sleeves selected such that the sleeve is capable of being pressed onto and removed from a suspension wire or a sleeve of lesser outer diameter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving the precision of wind tunnel measurements, particularly to correct the influence of a suspension device, wherein a model, particularly an aircraft model, being introduced into a wind tunnel on the suspension device, which has multiple suspension wires, and at least one sleeve being attached to each suspension wire, having the following steps: performing at least two measurements with identical model configuration with at least one effective diameter and/or with the suspension wire diameter in each case to ascertain at least two raw measured values and ascertaining a corrected final measured value for the model from at least two measured values.

Abstract: Centrally controlled wireless networks require reliable communications between the central controller and each of the stations within the wireless networks. The structure of a wireless network is often dynamic, or ad-hoc, as stations enter and exit the network, or are physically relocated. The selection of the central controller for the network may also be dynamic, either because the current central controller desires to exit the network, or because the communication between the current central controller and one or more of the stations is poor. This invention discloses a method and apparatus for assessing the quality of the communication paths among all stations in the network. This assessment is useful as a continual monitor of the quality of the network, and can be utilized to select an alternative central control station based upon the quality of communication paths to and from this station. Additionally, the quality assessment can be utilized to establish relay communication paths, as required.
