Abstract: A combined cycle propulsion system (CCPS) module combines a low-speed propulsion system (LSPS) such as a turbojet and a high-speed propulsion system (HSPS) such as dual mode ramjet engines with a mid-speed propulsion system (MSPS) such as a ejector ramjet engine to close a thrust gap between the upper operation limit of the LSPS and the lower operation limit of the HSPS in a flight vehicle. A cooling system ensures thermal protection of the non-operating LSPS during MSPS or HSPS operation by cooling tapped air from the MSPS or HSPS using a heat exchanger and expansion in a turbine/generator and directing cooled tapped air into the LSPS.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a multidimensional forecast are provided. In one technique, multiple segments are generated, each comprising a different set of attribute values. For each segment, a set of prior content requests for the segment is determined based on historical data, a forecasted number of content requests is determined based on the set of prior content requests, and the forecasted number of content requests is stored in association with a set of attribute values corresponding to the segment. A request is received to forecast performance of a content delivery campaign based on a particular set of attribute values. In response to receiving the request, multiple segments that share the particular set of attribute values are identified. The forecasted number of content requests associated with each segment of the multiple segments are aggregated to generate aggregated performance data. A portion of the aggregated performance data is caused to be displayed.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for flood hazard zone modeling. In one implementation, one or more relevant stream segments are identified from an input stream network. One or more cross profiles are defined for one or more selected points on the relevant stream segments, with the selected points located within a flood hazard area. A high resolution flood level elevation map is generated by interpolating flood level elevation from the selected points. A flood depth map is generated having a flood depth value for each of the selected points computed as a difference between the high resolution flood level elevation map and a terrain elevation. One or more flood zones are defined in the flood depth map. The flood zones have a positive flood depth for a return period.

Abstract: An orthodontic system comprises a prefabricated attachment applied to the labial or lingual side (or both) of one or more teeth, and a set of clear aligners. The prefabricated attachment comprise a base member sized and shaped to cover substantially the entire surface of the tooth to which it is attached, which provides a large adhesive surface area and hence superior adhesion. One or more attachments—sized and shaped smaller than the base member, and formed of a harder material—are affixed to the base member. The attachments, which may assume a wide variety of shapes, provide superior frictional fit to the aligner, thus increasing the amount of corrective force the aligner can apply to the teeth. In some embodiments, the attachments may have an undercut portion; an aligner may be formed to have a corresponding protrusion mating to the undercut, providing a firmer grip between the aligner and the tooth.
