Abstract: A computing device and method for managing an account. A computer displays a historical timeline and an event placement timeline. Past events are shown along the historical timeline, and future events along the event placement timeline. The computer suggest a change to the timing of one of the events. The user moves a movable object to the proposed timing to reschedule the event. The settings of the account are modified to automatically execute that event at the new timing.

Abstract: An aircraft landing gear assembly includes a structural member coupled to another part by a joint including engagement formations or a relatively high friction coating arranged such that the joint inhibits pivotal movement of the structural member when the structural member is compressively loaded in an axial manner.

Abstract: A device and method for management of an account. An event placement timeline is displayed. Account events are shown along the timeline. A preferred event time range or “safe zone” is shown along the timeline. The “safe zone” is the portion of the month during which it is safe to schedule certain events, like bill payments, with lower risk of NSF, overdraft or the like. The user moves a movable object into the “safe zone” to reschedule the account event in the “safe zone”, and the settings of the account are modified to automatically execute the account event at that time.

Abstract: A retractable landing gear includes a main strut having an upper end that is configured to connect to aircraft primary structure and a lower end configured to connect to an axle or bogie truck. An articulated stay has a distal end configured to connect to the aircraft structure and a proximal end pivotally connected to a cardan pin member. The cardan pin member has a cylindrical portion with a first recessed annular channel. The cardan pin member is retained in the socket by a ring assembly formed by two semi-annular ring members that slidably engages the first recessed channel. The ring assembly defines a second recessed annular channel. A collar is configured to be positioned over the second recessed channel, and to contract upon a change in temperature to lockingly engage the second recessed channel, to secure the split ring assembly in the first recessed channel.

Abstract: A brake rod assembly for an aircraft landing gear. The brake rod assembly includes a support member, a first brake rod having a first pivot point and a second pivot point, and a second brake rod. The support member is coupled to the first pivot point, the second brake rod is coupled to the second pivot point, and the first and second pivot points are longitudinally spaced apart along a first portion of the first brake rod.

Abstract: A non-naturally occurring microbe capable of growing in a medium comprising methanol is provided. The methanol contributes to a significant percentage (e.g., at least 40%) of the carbon source for the non-naturally occurring microbe, which expresses heterologous methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) and heterologous ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway enzymes. Methods for producing liquid fuels and chemicals by the non-naturally occurring microbe and methods for preparing the non-naturally occurring microbe are also provided.

Abstract: An aircraft landing gear assembly having a main strut configured to move between a deployed condition and a stowed condition, a damping device to oppose movement of the main strut as it approaches the deployed condition, a retraction actuator and a mechanical retraction linkage coupled between the aircraft and the main strut, and a locking device. The locking device is operable to change the retraction linkage between a locking condition in which the retraction actuator can apply a stowing force to the main strut through the retraction linkage to move the main strut from the deployed condition to the stowed condition, and an extensible condition in which the retraction linkage permits the main strut to be deployed by way of gravity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a non-naturally occurring microbe capable of growing in a medium comprising methanol, comprising a heterologous polynucleotide encoding a heterologous methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) derived from a Corynebacterium organism (Cor), wherein the MDH is expressed in the microbe, and wherein the MDH exhibits a Km of no more than 3 mM for methanol. Also provided are uses of the non-naturally occurring microbe for oxidizing methanol and producing a metabolite as well as the preparation of the non-naturally occurring microbe.

Abstract: A tube bending machine for bending a length of a tubular workpiece and an associated tube feeder assembly are disclosed. The tube feeder assembly has a carriage assembly slidably mounted along a rail. A clamp assembly is reversibly mounted to and carried by the carriage assembly. The clamp assembly is adapted to be releasably secured to the workpiece. The clamp assembly and carriage assembly are configurable to align the workpiece central axis along the rail, whereby sliding of the carriage assembly with the workpiece mounted in the clamp assembly carries the workpiece along the rail.

Abstract: Systems for managing content in a cloud-based service platform. A server in a cloud-based environment is interfaced with storage devices that hold one or more stored objects accessible by two or more users. The stored objects comprise folders and files as well as other objects such as workflow objects that are associated with the folders or the files. The workflow objects comprise workflow metadata that describes a workflow as a set of workflow tasks to be carried out in a progression. Processing of a workflow task and/or carrying out a portion of the progression includes modification of shared content objects. The processing or modification events are detected through workflow events, which in turn cause one or more workflow responses to be generated. Workflow responses comprise updates to the workflow metadata to record progression through the workflow and/or workflow responses comprise updates to any one or more of the stored objects.

Abstract: An aircraft landing gear bogie beam including first and second ends and a mounting bearing for connection to an aircraft landing gear main strut between the ends. Each end has a respective axle, and each axle defines a wheel mounting portion on each side of the bogie beam. The bogie beam is arranged to enable the first and second axles to each pivot relative to the bearing about a respective longitudinal axis of the bogie beam by an amount that is sufficient to place a wheel rim of a wheel assembly in contact with the ground in the event of a tyre of the wheel assembly deflating.

Abstract: An aircraft landing gear assembly having a main strut pivotally coupled to an aircraft, a bogie beam pivotally connected to the main strut, a first axle mounted at the first end of the bogie beam and arranged to carry one or more first wheel assemblies and brake assemblies, each first brake assembly being attached to the bogie beam by a brake rod, and a second axle mounted at a second end of the bogie beam and arranged to carry one or more second wheel assemblies and brake assemblies. A double acting actuator is coupled between the strut and the bogie beam to apply a compressive or tensile force to the bogie beam. The ends of the bogie beam are arranged to position the bogie pivot axis below a plane intersecting the axes of rotation of the first and second wheel assemblies when the strut is in the deployed condition.

Abstract: A hydraulic actuator having a body defining a chamber, a piston rod including an annular groove and a piston head slidably housed within the chamber, the piston head having a number of segments each of which has a base portion mounted within the annular groove.
