Abstract: An aircraft structure component (1) for laminar flow including an outer skin (3) having an aerodynamic surface (5), wherein the aerodynamic surface (5) has a leading edge portion (7) and a downstream portion (11) adjacently downstream from the leading edge portion (7), wherein the downstream portion (11) of the aerodynamic surface (5) comprises a paint layer (13) or a foil layer that is not present in the leading edge portion (7), so that a border line (15) is formed between the leading edge portion (7) and the downstream portion (11) by the beginning paint layer (13) or foil layer, and wherein the outer skin (3) comprises an attachment surface (17) to which the paint layer (13) or the foil layer is attached.

Abstract: An aerodynamic audit system is provided for performing an audit process of an aircraft using a computing device via a network. An inspection module inspects at least a portion of the aircraft for locating and measuring any aerodynamic defects present by generating an inspection list having a predetermined inspection path. A display device displays the inspection path and accepts a measurement of any located aerodynamic defect. A fuel penalty estimation module calculates an estimated fuel penalty of the aerodynamic defect based on the measurement of the corresponding aerodynamic defect. A defect correction analysis module analyzes the aerodynamic defect based on a cost and benefit assessment. A findings collection module generates an audit report based on the inspection and analysis of the aerodynamic defect. A database stores data associated with the aerodynamic defect and the corresponding fuel penalty based on the cost and benefit assessment.

Abstract: A healthcare system includes an event notification system (ENS) and a real-time location (RTL) system. The ENS operates to receive event messages from an event generation device that includes the identity of a clinical event instance, the location of the clinical event source and timestamp information associated with the event, and it operates to receive tag message information that includes the identity of a caregiver associated with the tag, the current location of the tag and timestamp information. Alert message logic operates on the clinical event information and the tag information to determine whether an alert message should be sent to a caregiver currently attending to a patient.
