Abstract: A method of assembling an aircraft assembly having a first member and a second member includes drilling at least one first opening through the first member, the at least one opening having a first diameter, and drilling at least one second opening through the second member, the at least one second opening having the first diameter. The method also includes forming a chamfer on the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening, the chamfer having a chamfer diameter, and positioning the first and second members to align the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening. The method further includes drilling the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening to a second diameter, wherein the second diameter is greater than the first diameter.

Abstract: A spill-resistant container is disclosed including a cup and a cap. The cup includes an inwardly projecting ledge and a plurality of spaced apart recesses. The cap includes a cover portion having a plurality of spaced apart openings. The inwardly projecting ledge between each of the plurality of spaced apart recesses is disposed on a plane that is formed at an angle to horizontal. The peripheral lip is disposed on a plane that is formed at the same angle as the plane of the inwardly projecting ledge. Rotation of the cap with respect to the cup causes the peripheral lip of each of the plurality of spaced apart openings to form a seal against the inwardly projecting ledge.

Abstract: A spill-resistant cap has an annular sidewall, a center portion, a plurality of spaced apart openings, and a plurality of baffles formed over the plurality of spaced apart openings. The annular sidewall has a lip engaging portion adapted for engaging a cup, and a lower end. The center portion closes the lower end of the annular sidewall to cover the opening of the cup, such that the annular sidewall and the center portion together form an upper reservoir. The plurality of spaced apart openings extend through the upper reservoir. Each of the plurality of baffles is formed over one of the plurality of spaced apart openings.

Abstract: A spill-resistant container is disclosed including a cup and a cap. The cup includes a cap-engaging portion adjacent a lip surrounding an opening, and an inwardly projecting ledge adjacent the cap-engaging portion that includes multiple spaced apart recesses. The cap includes a cup-engaging portion and a cover portion. The cap has multiple spaced apart openings extending through the cover portion, wherein each of the openings corresponds to a different one of the recesses in the ledge of the cup.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing valve for controlling the flow of a fluid through a through-conduit has a retainer and a dispensing valve body. The retainer has an upwardly extending plug. A dispensing valve body is bounded by an exterior surface, an interior surface, a valve perimeter, and a dispensing orifice perimeter. The dispensing valve body is shaped to fit within the through-conduit such that the valve perimeter forms a sealing relationship with the inner surface, and the dispensing orifice perimeter fits securely around and seals against the upwardly extending plug.

Abstract: Disclosed is a business method involving removable and replaceable third party paid public advertising using novel advertising sites in locations that are unconventional for advertising previously to generate an unprecedented revenue stream that potentially benefits three parties: (1) the solicitor of the advertising who places said advertising in the unconventional sites, (2) the owner of those sites, and (3) the advertiser who obtains additional business from the unique advertising approach.
