Abstract: A thermally stable component formed of a tempered aluminum alloy casting which reduced costs is provided. The aluminum alloy typically has an elongation of at least 8% after casting, which is preferred for self-piercing rivet processes. The aluminum alloy leaves a casting facility in the as-cast (F temper) condition. The cast aluminum alloy is then shipped to another entity, such as an OEM, and is subjected to an artificial aging process, such as on the OEM's existing paint line, rather than at the casting facility. The artificial aging process typically includes electrodeposition coating and curing. The components that can be formed by the reduced cost method include lightweight automotive vehicle components, including structural, body-in-white, suspension, or chassis components, such as front shock towers, front body hinge pillars, tunnels, and rear rails.

Abstract: Provided is a method of transportation information exchange that includes receiving first data from a first aviation data source, such that the first data is provided in a first data format type and determining, based on a set of routing rules, a first aviation consumer of at least a first portion of the first data. The method further includes processing the first portion of the first data into a second data format type associated with the first aviation consumer and providing the first portion of the first data in the second data format type to the first aviation consumer.

Abstract: An aircraft analysis application retrieves transponder data that is output by a transponder mounted on an aircraft. The transponder data is indicative of locations of the aircraft over a period of time. The aircraft analysis application maps the locations of the aircraft indicated by the transponder to a jurisdictional map identifying boundaries of a plurality of jurisdictions. The aircraft analysis application computes a fractional portion of time spent by the aircraft in a first jurisdiction in the plurality of jurisdictions based upon the locations of the aircraft indicated by the transponder and the jurisdictional map. The aircraft analysis application generates a jurisdictional status report that comprises a graphical indication of the fractional portion of time spent by the aircraft in the first jurisdiction.

Abstract: A taxability status system determines a taxability status for aircraft according to selected jurisdictions including a state or a county. The system receives traffic control system information, transponder data and assessor data to provide a taxability status report and updated reports in order to assess and verify where taxes have or have not been paid. The system further determines gap related information that can be identified within the traffic control system information as a result of mismatching departure and arrival data at airport jurisdictions.

Abstract: In some examples, a gimbaled monoclamp can include a housing including a first opening, a second opening, and a pivot point, a clamp disposed at least partially in the housing and including a first pad and a second pad to extend through the first opening and the second opening, respectively, and a pin extending through an opening in the clamp into the pivot point to couple the clamp to the housing in a gimbaled manner.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to print media stacks. In some examples, a device may include a sheet channel to guide a sheet of print media within the sheet channel above and separated in a vertical direction from a stack of printed media when the sheet of print media exits a print path of a printer. The device may include a plurality of clamps to control alignment of the sheet of print media on the stack of printed media when the sheet channel moves outboard from the sheet of print media to allow the sheet of print media to fall onto the stack of printed media, wherein the plurality of clamps sequentially pin the sheet of print media to the stack of printed media from a middle portion of the sheet of print media outward.

Abstract: Example described herein relate to a print shoes. For instance, a print shoe can include a body including a first surface, a first arm extending from the first surface and including a first mounting mechanism to couple to a spring, and a second arm extending from the first surface in a position substantially coplanar with the first arm, where the second arm includes a second mounting mechanism to couple to the spring and dispose the first arm a distance away from the second arm when coupled to the spring.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for determining a taxability status for a vehicular asset, such as an aircraft. The techniques include obtaining traffic control system information for the vehicular asset, detecting gaps in traffic control system information for the vehicular asset, and recording the gaps, computing a primary location for the vehicular asset based on the traffic control system information, and creating a vehicular asset taxability status report for the vehicular asset, where the report includes the primary location and gap information.

Abstract: An example system includes an advancement mechanism to drive print medium into a stacking region, a clamping mechanism, and a controller. The clamping mechanism includes a trailing edge clamping arrangement in a trailing edge portion of the stacking region and at least one downstream clamping arrangement in a downstream portion of the stacking region, the downstream portion being downstream of the trailing edge portion. The controller is to sequentially actuate the trailing edge clamping arrangement and the at least one downstream clamping arrangement when the advancement mechanism transports a print medium into the stacking region.
