Abstract: A modular tow link for linking two golf carts includes a bracket assembly including a tow bracket, towed bracket, and bar link. The tow bracket mounts to a front tow hitch of a tow cart, the towed bracket mounts to a front tow hitch of a towed cart, and the bar link couples between the tow bracket and towed bracket to couple the same. The bar link may be vertically pivotable and laterally restrained at the respective bar couplings. The tow link may also include a steering lock including a steer bar having a first end and a second end configured to couple between the towed bracket and a steering control link of the towed cart to lock a front wheel orientation of the towed cart relative to the towed bracket. The steer bar may be provided with a selectively adjustable length.

Abstract: Aircraft pitch control systems and methods are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, an aircraft pitch control system comprises a movable horizontal stabilizer and an elevator movably coupled to the horizontal stabilizer. The elevator is electronically geared to the horizontal stabilizer.

Abstract: A system and a method for improving a stall margin of an aircraft during a climb phase of flight are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises using data indicative of a phase of flight of the aircraft and data indicative of an angle-of-attack, and automatically commanding a deployment of leading edge slats movably attached to wings of the aircraft when the following conditions are true: the aircraft is in a climb phase of flight; and the angle-of-attack equals or exceeds a predefined deployment angle-of-attack threshold value.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a sensor supported by a sensor arm and a wiper blade. The sensor includes a cylindrical windows having an obstructed portion and a viewing portion. The wiper blade is attached to the sensor and movable across the viewing portion from a resting position contacting the obstructed portion.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a sensor supported by a sensor arm, a fan mounted in a position that is fixed relative to the sensor, and a duct. The sensor includes a cylindrical window defining an axis. The duct is positioned to deliver air from the fan toward the cylindrical window. The duct has an opening extending along an arc of a circle centered on the axis.

Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method for importing information stored in a tag-based markup language file into a computer modeling software package, and exporting changes in the information back to the file. There is also provided a system, and associated instructions for carrying out the method.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for assessing component health for reconfigurable control are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of operating a product includes monitoring a first diagnostic information of a component of the product, and monitoring a second diagnostic information of a system that includes the component. The first and second diagnostic informations are then combined, and based at least partially on the combined first and second diagnostic information at least one of the component and the system are reconfigured.
