摘要:
A system and method for enabling a user to transact an anonymous on-line transaction, wherein a form of on-line payment is requested at a transaction interface is disclosed. The method may include providing an anonymous user interface that enables a user to initiate an on-line payment, accessing a first profile comprising user data when the user activates the form of on-line payment, generating a second profile linked to the first profile wherein, the second profile comprises anonymous data, and communicating the anonymous data from the second profile to the transaction interface to enable completion of the transaction.

A method of inspecting a repaired metal alloy part to analyze a microstructure of the metal part includes placing a replicating material on a surface of the metal part to create an inverted replica of the microstructure. The replicating material is then removed from the surface. An image of the inverted replica on the replicating material is magnified in order to evaluate the microstructure for incipient melting and areas of boride concentration. This inspection method facilitates that evaluation without causing any destruction to the metal part.

A method of determining a depth of intergranular attack (IGA) on a surface of a metal part includes applying a replicating material on a second surface of the part that is essentially perpendicular to and intersects with the surface of interest. The replicating material is used to create an inverted replica of the microstructure of the second surface. Lengths of the cracks replicated on the replicating material are measured in order to determine the depth of intergranular attack on the surface of the part. In some embodiments, a fixture device may be temporarily attached to the metal part to maintain an edge of the second surface.
摘要:
A figurine and swing combination useful for various purposes where the figurine is adapted to be received on the swing and retained thereon by a fastener which allows defined relative movement between the figurine and the swing. Also cords are attached to the swing adjacent opposite ends thereof. The cords extend upwardly through cooperative apertures in the figurine to further attach the figurine to the swing yet allow relative movement between the swing and the figurine.

Birdfeeder arrangements for feeding birds or other animals which include an enclosure of selected configuration defining a generally vertical hopper, a cover for the hopper, and at least one opening located below the top of the hopper so that granular material placed in the hopper flows by gravity through the opening, and so material which flows out of the opening, and where a generally horizonal surface is provided immediately adjacent the outlet to receive the granular material and support the material which has flowed out of the hopper at the angle of repose of the material.

The core engine of a mixed exhaust turbofan aeroengine is provided with a conical afterbody. The normal outlet guide vanes which remove residual swirl from the turbine exhaust gases are dispensed with and replaced by ducts within an afterbody having entries which receive the hot gases in the same manner and at the same angle as the passages between the guide vanes would have done. The hot ducts, whose aspect ratio is preferably transformed between their upstream and downstream ends, extend through the afterbody in substantially straight paths to avoid aerodynamic losses, and intersect its conical surface to form preferably slot-like nozzles from which the turbine exhaust gases issue as flattened jets. The exhaust jets partake of the original axial and tangential/swirl velocity components of the turbine gases, plus a radial component (consequential upon the orientation of the ducts) to achieve good penetration of the bypass stream. Satisfactory mixing between the bypass stream and the jets is achieved because of the radial and tangential velocity components and because the bypass stream flows in sheets between the jets. No net swirl in the mixed stream through the propulsion nozzle is ensured by counter-swirling of the bypass stream before mixing commences.
