Abstract: Cable assemblies for providing electrical communication between hinged sections of an electronic device are described. The cable assemblies can include a cover that covers one or more cables that run through a hinge region of the electronic device. The cable and cover can be drawn over a mandrel of the hinge region. The cover and the portions of the mandrel can be visible to a user at the hinge region of the electronic device. The cover can be sufficiently rigid to guide a path of the cable and protect the cable from bending beyond a prescribed angle during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region. The cover can also be sufficiently rigid to prevent ceasing or folding of the cover and the cable during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region.

Abstract: A fuselage structure is disclosed in which the skin is comprised of layers of a matrix fiber reinforced composite, with the stringers reinforced with the same composite material. The high strength to weight ratio of the composite, particularly at elevated temperatures, and its high modulus of elasticity, makes it desirable for use in airplane structures.

Abstract: A cryogenic fuel tank of a cylindrical design having toroidal surface ends, is suspended in aircraft structure through a central front mount member; and the rear tank is supported by rod elements which extend from a mounting ring about the tank, to mount points rearwardly within the interior of the fuselage. The central front mount member has baffles attached thereto, so as to prevent undue sloshing of the liquid within the tank. The front end of the tank suspension absorbs radial and axial loads, but no bending moments; and the aft linkage suspension arrangement takes primarily radical and torsional loads. Also the aft suspension provides for unrestrained axial and radial contraction and expansion of the outer shell of the tank.
