Abstract: A software-based interactive collection book for mobile devices provides the users a way to connect their customers to products while the products are still being developed. This will allow a user to engage with their customers earlier to drive more sales. This will result in their products being more successful in the market at the time of launch.

Abstract: A method is provided to represent a product development to a plurality of users. The product development comprises a collection of heterogeneous product development data elements manipulable by a plurality of heterogeneous application processes. A rendered three-dimensional virtual room is displayed to the user. The virtual room includes a plurality of walls. The displaying step includes displaying iconic images on the walls. The iconic images correspond to at least some of the product development elements with the visual organization of the displayed iconic images corresponding to a desired visual organization of the product development. Selection input is accepted from the users to select the iconic images and an indication of the input is provided to appropriate ones of the application processes to access and manipulate the product development elements to which the iconic images correspond.

Abstract: A device for starting an aircraft engine which is capable of being started by rotating a propeller connected to the crankshaft of the engine. The device comprises an anchor device for fixedly positioning on the landing surface below the propeller; this anchor device can be held in place by a portion of the aircraft itself; in one case, the nose wheel and in another case, a separate extension arrangement. A holding device is provided for connection to the anchor device for holding the propeller and the crankshaft of the engine against rotation in a proper starting position while a rotative device is provided for connection to the anchor device for placing a biasing force on the propeller for rotating it. The anchor device has forwardly extending arms, or members, with an attaching device fixed below the propeller, the holding device and rotative device are each fixed between the propeller and the attaching device.

The device comprises an anchor for fixedly positioning on the landing surface below the propeller; this anchor can be held in place by a portion of the aircraft itself; in one case, the nose wheel and in another case, a separate extension arrangement. A holding device is provided for holding the propeller and crankshaft of the engine against rotation in a proper starting position while a rotative device is provided for placing a biasing force on the propeller for rotating it. When desired, the holding device is remotely released and the propeller is pulled through the compression stroke by the rotative device and rotated in a manner to start the engine by the rotation of the crankshaft. Each of the holding device and rotative device has a propeller tip cap for connection to the propeller, while the other ends are fixed to the anchor.
