Abstract: A gas turbine engine having a fire wall that is configured to provide a fire resistant barrier between a first zone and a second zone in the gas turbine engine, the second zone being hotter than the first zone when the gas turbine engine is in use. The gas turbine also has an actuator that is located in the first zone and is configured to generate a mechanical force when operated, an actuatable device that is located in the second zone and is configured to be actuated by a mechanical force and a mechanical force transmitting device that extends from the actuator to the actuatable device via a hole in the fire wall. The mechanical force transmitting device is configured to, when the actuator is operated, actuate the actuatable device by transmitting a mechanical force generated by the actuator to the actuatable device.

Abstract: A cowl cavity is defined between a core engine cowl and an engine inner casing. A core fairing is provided at the forward end of the engine inner casing and has a radially outer surface which, with the cowl, provides an airwashed surface of a bypass duct. A plenum is provided within the cowl cavity and receives air from bypass flow through openings in the surface. Conduits extend from a partition defining the plenum to distribute air to locations and components within the engine.

Abstract: Transgenic rats are generated which incorporate a primate B1 bradykinin receptor transgene(s) into their genome. This B1 bradykinin receptor gene is expressed in these transgenic rats, which results in binding of compounds which are selective for the primate form (such as the human form) of the receptor and not the rat form of the receptor. Therefore, the expressed transgenes within these transgenic lines mimic antagonist and agonist selectivity of the wild type primate B1 bradykinin receptor. These transgenic animals are useful as a specific receptor occupancy model for modulators of the B1 bradykinin receptor from the human or closely related species, as well as providing for an animal model system for assessment of the pharmacodynamic properties of such a B1 bradykinin modulator(s).

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel means for detecting a low level of liquid in a reservoir. One application for the invention is to provide a way to indicate when the level of windshield washer fluid for a vehicle is at a low level. According to one of its broad aspects, the windshield washer fluid noticeable changes color on the windshield, when it is running low in the reservoir; for example, changing from very light blue to an intense red. There are known electrical and mechanical means for indicating the level of a fluid in a reservoir. However, these indicators of fluid level rely on special equipment such as floats and electrical contacts. An advantage of the present invention, is that it can be used with existing windshield washer reservoirs without the need for additional equipment and/or gauges in the interior of the vehicle.
