Abstract: There is provided a support pin assembly for full size determinant assembly of an aircraft structure. The support pin assembly includes a clevis having a clevis body with a first clevis lug and a second clevis lug, the clevis configured for mounting to an assembly jig. The support pin assembly further includes a first bushing disposed within the first clevis lug, a second bushing disposed within the second clevis lug, and a pin slideably disposed within the first bushing and the second bushing. The pin includes a shoulder portion with a pin groove, and a part support portion configured to fit through a hole in a part of the aircraft structure. The support pin assembly further includes a sleeve bushing slideably disposed over the part support portion, a retainer element coupled to the part support portion, and a gauge assembly configured for coupling to the pin groove.

Abstract: An ultrasonic instrument includes a body, an actuation assembly, a shaft assembly, and an end effector. The actuation assembly includes an activation member that is operable to move in a first direction to select a mode of operation. The shaft assembly extends distally from the body and includes an acoustic waveguide. The end effector includes an ultrasonic blade that is in acoustic communication with the acoustic waveguide. The activation member is operable to move in a second direction to activate the end effector in a mode of operation selected by movement of the activation member in the first direction.

Abstract: There is provided a support pin assembly for full size determinant assembly of an aircraft structure. The support pin assembly includes a block having a vertical bore and a horizontal bore; a bushing within the horizontal bore; a barrel nut having a cylindrical body within the vertical bore and a barrel nut hole; and a pin. The pin includes an insertion portion within the bushing, an interface element, and an extending portion having at least one protruding circumferential portion having two or more flat surface portions on opposing sides to enable rotation of the pin. The at least one protruding circumferential portion is positioned within a hole in a frame section of the aircraft structure, and provides nominal adjustment of the pin, so that with any binding condition of the pin, the pin is released by rotating the pin via the two or more flat surface portions.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an absorbent article which is prefastened by the manufacturer and refastenable by the wearer of the absorbent article. The method can include fastening the side panels of an absorbent article in which the side panels of the absorbent article are of different widths.

Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure, a method of generating a graphical user interface is disclosed. The method includes monitoring a plurality of elements of a computer system and collecting data related to a monitored characteristic of each element of the plurality of elements. The method also includes analyzing the collected data at a first time to identify a pattern and analyzing the collected data at a second time to determine whether the collected data has deviated from the identified pattern. The method further includes generating an alert record in response to a determination that the collected data has deviated from the identified pattern and storing the alert record. Additionally, the method includes generating graphical display information related to the alert record.

Abstract: A method and model for originating mortgages is provided that includes a team of members for originating a mortgage having a first team member who supervises a second and third team member and provides home buying consulting services preferably as a licensed real estate agent and mortgage consulting services to a home buyer. The second team member is primarily responsible for the mortgage loan coordination. The third team member is primarily responsible for the mortgage loan processing. The first team member is compensated for providing the mortgage consulting services.

Abstract: An exhaust muffler (20) for an internal combustion engine (25) includes a tapered tube (28) and an outer tube (40) axially aligned with and surrounding the tapered tube (28) so that an annular passage (42) is formed between the tapered tube (28) and the outer tube (40). The tapered tube (28) has an exhaust inlet end (30) for receiving exhaust gases (76) from the engine (25) and an exhaust outlet end (34). The outer tube (40) has an air inlet end (50) for receiving air (49) external to the engine and an air outlet end (52). The external air (49) flows in the annular passage (42) toward the air outlet end (52). The flow of the external air (49) creates a low pressure region (54) downstream of the exhaust outlet end (34) to accelerate the receipt of exhaust gases (76) from the engine, and elliptical holes (62) in the tapered tube (28) allow the smooth flow of exhaust gases (76) from tapered tube (28) to mix with the external air (49) to achieve effective noise attenuation.
