Abstract: A graphical user interface renders a display on a display screen that include a preview image described by contents of an input file. When the user is satisfied with the preview image, the input file is automatically converted into a single output scalable vector graphic (SVG) compliant file. Various actions can be performed with the single output SVG compliant file.

Abstract: An aircraft landing gear shock absorber strut including an outer cylinder having a bore defining an opening; an inner cylinder having a first end region movably coupled within the bore and a second end region which projects out of the opening. The inner cylinder being arranged to move along a longitudinal axis of the bore between a first condition and a second condition and is biased by a spring force to assume the second condition. A mechanical outstop is arranged to engage an abutment surface of the inner cylinder to limit extension of the shock absorber strut; and a rotatable member drives the out stop axially to move the inner cylinder from the second condition towards the first condition. The rotatable member is arranged such that the spring force cannot rotate the rotatable member to allow the shock absorber strut to extend.
