摘要:
In an implementation, a selectable integrated circuit interface includes selectable integrated circuit interface configurations that can each interface an integrated circuit. A selection circuit generates a selection signal to select an individual selectable integrated circuit interface configuration, and logic couples a clock signal and data to a selected integrated circuit interface configuration.

The method of landing a flying wing type aircraft in a crosswind includes the steps of disengaging the nose landing wheel upon impact with the runway so that it is free to castor; and thereafter, engaging the nose wheel after a specific time period after the nose wheel impacts the runway such that the nose wheel is steerable. The system for landing a flying wing type aircraft in a crosswind on a runway includes a steering system for steering the nose wheel, the steering system having a first condition wherein it controls the angular position of nose wheel and a second condition wherein the wheel is free to castor. A control system for moving the steering system from the first condition to the second condition upon the wheel contacting the runway and to move the steering system back to the first condition after a specified time after the wheel contacts the runway.

A modular lighting system for lighting a work area is disclosed. The system includes a power supply with power outlets for powering LED fixtures. The power supply preferably operates at or below a fixed power output level, such as to illuminate the work area using less than 0.2 Watts per square foot of energy. The lighting system also includes an occupancy sensor and/or a light level sensor for controlling lighting levels in the work area in response to detection of a person, ambient light levels and/or a combination thereof. The lighting system can also include computer unit with a micro-processor and a memory unit for running software or firmware the executes lighting programs, stores light usage histories and/or provides system reports to a remote computer by a wireless means and/or over a computer network.

The invention is a system for controlling an aircraft, the aircraft having a longitudinal axis, vertical and horizontal axis and right and left wings and right and left ailerons mounted on the right and left wings. In detail, the system includes a right stabilizer mounted to the right wing, the right stabilizer canted from the right wing such that the outer end thereof is down and deflectable about an axis of rotation parallel to the span axis of the stabilizer. A left stabilizer is mounted to the left wing, the left stabilizer canted from the left wing such that the outer end thereof is down and deflectable about an axis of rotation parallel to the span axis of the stabilizer. A control system is provided to simultaneously deflect the right aileron and stabilizer downward and the left aileron and stabilizer upward to turn left and to deflect the right aileron and stabilizer upward and the left aileron and stabilizer downward to turn right.

A hammock stand is described that can be assembled from a plurality of tubular members. The tubular members are of similar dimensions and to some extent interchangeable. This allows the stand, in disassembled form to be contained in a relatively small box for shipping and storage.
摘要:
A structure is described for supporting a hammock. It includes an arc shaped stand formed of a bottom, mid section and two end sections. The stand is attached to foot supports which extend perpendicularly outward therefrom. Each foot support is attached by means of a saddling wedge, which stabilizes the joint. The joint is secured by means of a bolt which extends through aligned apertures in the joint.
