Abstract: A landing gear for an aircraft includes a landing strut having proximal and distal ends with the proximal end couplable to the fuselage of the aircraft. The landing strut includes a gas chamber, a liquid chamber, a cylinder and a piston that is movable relative to the cylinder between extended and retracted positions. A wheel is coupled to the distal end of the landing strut. A force sensor is disposed between an extend stop surface of the piston and the chamber. Pressurized gas in the gas chamber biases the piston to the extended position such that the force sensor experiences a preload force. The force sensor is configured to detect a reduction in the preload force during a landing maneuver responsive to contact between the wheel and a landing surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and using geozones (e.g., merchant-specific isochrones) to rank merchants within a delivery service application. The system can obtain data including a merchant location. The method includes generating a geozone for the respective merchant based on the merchant location and an estimated travel time to various subzones. The method includes storing the geozone for the merchant. The method includes ranking one or more merchants based on their respective geozones and a drop-off location associated with a delivery service request. The method includes facilitating the delivery service. The method includes providing progress updates to a user associated with various progress points of the delivery service.

Abstract: An electric ceiling fan that is suitable for safe operation in outdoor conditions and is capable of being subjected to high pressure washing without damage.

Abstract: A system and method for determining leakage in a fluid supply line assembly are provided. The system includes a source of pressurized fluid, a pressurized fluid load, and a fluid supply line coupled to the source and the load. The leak detection system also includes a source isolation valve configured to control a flow of fluid into the fluid supply line from the source, a load isolation valve configured to control a flow of fluid from the fluid supply line to the pressurized fluid load, and a processor communicatively coupled to a memory device. The memory device includes instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to close the load isolation valve and open the source isolation valve to supply pressurized fluid to the fluid supply line, and after a predetermined interval, determine a leakage of pressurized fluid from the fluid supply line.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cover layer for a vehicle interior component includes forming a mold cavity via a first surface and a second surface spaced apart from one another by a distance. The first surface is configured to form a show surface of the cover layer, the second surface is configured to form a rear surface of the cover layer, and the distance is less than or equal to 1 mm. The method of manufacturing the cover layer also includes heating the first surface and/or the second surface, and flowing liquid polyvinyl chloride into the mold cavity to form the cover layer.

Abstract: A vehicle interior component includes a foam layer having a contact surface. The vehicle interior component also includes a cover layer having a contact surface and a show surface. The show surface is configured to face an interior of a vehicle, the contact surface of the cover layer is positioned on an opposite side of the cover layer from the show surface, and the contact surface of the cover layer is in direct contact with the contact surface of the foam layer. In addition, multiple recesses are formed within at least one of the contact surface of the foam layer and the contact surface of the cover layer, each recess establishes a gap between the contact surface of the foam layer and the contact surface of the cover layer at the recess, and the recesses are configured to accommodate gas emitted by the foam layer and/or the cover layer.
