Abstract:
A system and method for determining a minimum spacing requirement for each of a plurality of aircraft landings, determining an actual spacing for each of the plurality of aircraft landings, calculating an efficiency score based on the actual spacing and the minimum spacing requirements for the plurality of aircraft landings and displaying the efficiency score to a user.
Abstract:
A system and method for determining a current efficiency score for an airport, receiving a request to compare the current efficiency score with a previous efficiency score, retrieving the previous efficiency score and displaying the current efficiency score and the previous efficiency score to a user. Also, a system having a database storing a plurality of previous efficiency scores for an airport, a calculation arrangement calculating a current efficiency score for the airport and retrieving a previous efficiency score from the database and a data distribution arrangement for generating a displayable file and distributing the current efficiency score and the one of the plurality of previous efficiency scores to a user of the system.
Abstract:
A whole-blood-based substitute composition that is useful in coagulation assays as a standard, reference, control, calibrator, linearity verifier, or training material is prepared by combining a red blood cell lysate that is free of plasma, leukocytes, and platelets with a platelet-free plasma of human origin and an antimicrobial agent.
Abstract:
A method for receiving passive data corresponding to an aircraft in a vicinity of an airport, receiving additional information corresponding to the aircraft and predicting a time of arrival at a gate based on the passive data and the additional information. In addition, a system having a data receiving arrangement receiving passive data corresponding to an aircraft in a vicinity of an airport and additional information corresponding to the aircraft and a gate prediction module predicting a time of arrival at a gate based on the passive data and the additional information.
Abstract:
A system and method for receiving data on an aircraft, the data including a tail number of the aircraft, storing the data in a database, receiving a request including further data, the further data being related to the aircraft, querying the data in the database using the further data and returning the tail number of the aircraft.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for removing excess moisture from the evaporator coils of an air-conditioning system in which the moisture is removed from the evaporator coils by vibrating the coils. The coils may be vibrated by mechanical or acoustic devices such as solenoid plungers and acoustic transducers.
Abstract:
Molybdenum oxide nano-particles. The nano-particles may be made by vaporizing the precursor material to produce a vapor; directing the vapor into an isolation chamber; contacting the vapor contained in the isolation chamber with a quench fluid stream to precipitate nano-particles; and removing the nano-particles from the isolation chamber.
Abstract:
A programmable waveform ballast has a power supply and a waveform generator. The power supply provides, from a power source, a variable power to a discharge lamp. The waveform generator is coupled to the power supply and is programmable to produce a plurality of waveforms. The waveform generator controls the power supply to apply the variable power to the discharge lamp in accordance with a programmed waveform.
