Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has an outer housing, an inner housing disposed in the outer housing and forming a gap between an exterior surface of the inner housing and an interior surface of the outer housing, one or more thermal devices disposed in the gap, and an electrical port disposed in or on the outer housing and electrically connected to the one or more thermal devices.

Abstract: An external hook system for a rotary-wing aircraft includes a lower frame interface which accommodates longitudinal and lateral loads and an upper frame interface. A tension member is mountable between the lower frame interface and the upper frame interface to transfer tension loads between the lower frame interface and the upper frame interface.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell (81) includes a drain-side select transistor (86), a source-side select transistor (87), and a storage transistor (88). The drain-side select transistor (86) is adjacent to the drain of the storage transistor (88) to prevent drain-disturb events. The source-side select transistor (87) is adjacent to the source of the storage transistor (88) to prevent source-disturb events. The select gate (152) of the drain-side select transistor (86), the select gate (143) of the source-side select transistor (87), and the floating gate (147) of the storage transistor (88) are formed on a dielectric layer (123) having a uniform thickness.
