An actuator is attached to the nozzle, and the actuator is configured to selectively rotate the nozzle via the ball and socket joint about a first axis normal to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A rocket and method are also disclosed.

Abstract: In some examples, a plurality of nodes may each host a respective logical database (LDB) that includes database data that references external resources stored in a storage system. Further, each node may maintain, for each external resource referenced by the respective LDB on that node, a reference count of a number of references in the respective LDB to each external resource and a timestamp associated with the reference count. In response to addition of a reference to a particular external resource in a particular LDB, a node that hosts the particular LDB may be programmed to increment the reference count and update the timestamp for the particular external resource. Similarly, in response to removal of the reference to the particular external resource in the particular LDB, the node hosting the particular LDB is programmed to decrement the reference count and update the timestamp for the particular external resource.

Abstract: A network distribution, point (1) for operation as a node in a telecommunications system intermediate between a remote access server (41) and a plurality of individual termination points (1) served from the remote access server (41) by respective digital subscriber loops (30), in particular at an optical fibre/copper wire interface (17), incorporates a dynamic line management system (18) for processing data relating to the capabilities of each of the digital subscriber loops (30), and generating a pro file of each digital subscriber loop (30) for transmission to the remote access server (49) to allow control of the transmission of data to the individual termination points.

Abstract: A method and molding system for hydraulic blow molding of a container from a preform. The method precharges the molding medium within a fill head unit to a precharge pressure. During the injecting of the molding medium into the preform, the method further increases the pressure of the molding medium to a pressure greater than the precharge pressure.

Abstract: A method of displaying a battery life for a warming cart battery is provided. The method includes the steps of detecting with a processor that a warming cart battery voltage is out of range of a predetermined threshold, determining with a processor an operation state of each of a plurality of periphery warming cart devices, and automatically setting a battery scale of a warming cart battery based on which of the plurality of periphery warming cart devices are in an active operation state.
