Abstract: A control system and methods for controlling the position of one or more engine-mounting links of an engine-mounting linkage system are provided. In one aspect, an engine-mounting linkage system includes one or more engine-mounting links that each have an adjustable inclination angle. An inclination angle of a link may be adjusted by an actuator of the control system. One or more controllers of the control system can control the actuator and thus the inclination angle of the link by determining a control command based at least in part on an output received from one or more sensors of the control system. The controllers can then cause the actuator to change the inclination angle of the link based at least in part on the determined control command.

Abstract: Engine-mounting linkage systems may include a plurality of engine mounting links configured to couple an engine frame to an engine support structure of an aircraft. The plurality of engine-mounting links may include a forward link that is connectable to a forward frame portion of the engine frame and the engine support structure, and an aft link that is connectable to an aft frame portion of the engine frame and the engine support structure. The engine mounting linkage system may include an actuator that is connectable to the engine support structure and one of the plurality of engine-mounting links, or to the engine support structure and the engine frame. The actuator, when actuated, changes an inclination angle ? of at least one of the plurality of engine-mounting links.

Abstract: Systems and methods for securitizing the revenue stream of a product are disclosed. A system for securitizing the revenue stream of a product includes a primary market allowing a company to sell a percentage of the revenue of a product of the company to an investor, wherein the percentage of revenue stake in the product comprises issued shares; the bundling of the issued shares into various investment products; a secondary market providing liquidity for issued or bundled shares allowing the investor to trade these shares or bundles; retail market where these sales take place; wherein a transfer of the issued share from the company to the investor provides financial capital for the company without relinquishing an ownership stake in the company itself, and wherein when the product is sold, the investor is entitled to a percentage of revenues generated by sales of the product according to the issued shares.

Abstract: The present invention provides particles for the presentation of haptens for the purpose of eliciting an immune response. The amino acid sequences of the monomers which make up the particles are derived from duck hepatitis B virus core protein. The particles may also deliver nucleic acids. The nucleic acids may be delivered for the purpose of enhancing an immune response, or for other purposes such as gene therapy.
