Abstract: Disclosed is a motorized transport system comprising: a transport line comprising: a first cable; a second cable, wherein the first and second cable are made of a second conductor; and, an insulation layer, wherein the insulation layer is made of an insulator; wherein the insulation layer bonds the first cable to the second cable, insulates the first cable from the second cable, and, does not allow the first cable to contact the second cable; a plurality of line anchors fastened to the transport line; a power means for supplying an electric current to the first and second cable; and, a chassis comprising: a housing; a first motor; at least one first cable pulley; at least one second cable pulley; a junction box; a first internal power supply link; a first cable pulley-junction box link; a junction box-second cable pulley link.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section communicating with and disposed downstream of the compressor section relative to a direction of airflow, and a gas turbine section communicating with and disposed downstream of the combustion section relative to a direction of airflow. One of the sections has a wall defining an opening to access an airflow through the sections. A bleed diffuser assembly is disposed over the opening, and includes a housing including inlet and outlet ends. A diffuser having inlet and outlet ends is movably disposed within the housing. An actuator is coupled to the diffuser for moving the diffuser generally toward the inlet end of the housing and into an operative position when the actuator is energized. A biasing member is provided for urging the diffuser generally toward the outlet end of the housing and into a retracted position when the actuator is de-energized.

Abstract: A system for generating accessory power from a gas turbine engine is provided by the present invention. The system includes an electronic control device for monitoring at least one parameter which provides information about an incipient change in power demand, a control valve operated by the control device for supplying bleed air from the engine during a transient state in response to the at least one monitored parameter, and a pneumatically operated device for receiving the bleed air and for generating power to operate equipment onboard an aircraft. The pneumatically operated device may be an air turbine or a pneumatically integrated generator.
