Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

This disclosure relates to a spacesuit and vehicle port interface(suitport) used in subject ingress and egress relative to the spaceport.... The suitport concept has evolved from concepts for rear entry space suits donned in conventional airlocks. As a result, existing rear-entry suit systems carry all the mechanisms needed to draw the "backpack" portable life support system(PLSS) to the upper torso of the pressure suit and all the levers, cams, and associated hardware used to secure the backpack to the suit to obtain a robust attachment and pressure seal.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
  • Airport Runways and Areas
OBS

When hard braking is applied for slowing down or stopping after an aborted takeoff or emergency stop situation, the tire is locked up and can’t rotate, causing rapid heat buildup. When the tire begins to smoke, rubber debris build up under the tire. As the skid continues, more and more debris cause a barrier to form against the water, preventing it from escaping past the tire. A seal has now been created... heating the water under the tire to a point where steam exists. The steam is strong enough to support the tire and prevent runway contact. Should the skid continue, the tire enters reverted rubber state as more heat, steam and rubber debris continue the process.

Par ailleurs, il peut y avoir aquaplanage dû à la dévulcanisation du caoutchouc lorsqu'une roue bloquée patine sur une piste très glissante recouverte d'eau ou de neige fondante à une vitesse supérieure à 20 nœuds, alors que la chaleur générée par la friction produit de la vapeur qui commence à dévulcaniser le caoutchouc, sur une partie du pneu, pour le ramener à son état d'avant-vulcanisation.

  • Ecology (General)

CONT

As climate fluctuations alter the habitat availability of polar bears, it is crucial that we identify the preferred habitat of polar bears to fully understand their future required needs and appropriately support management of polar bear populations.... the preferred habitat of polar bears typically depends on seal availability[. Therefore], stable annual sea ice, which provides a platform for seals to give birth in the spring, along with the dynamic ice edge in spring and early summer are important factors in polar bear population.

La pauvreté des échanges entre mangrove et lagon est confirmée par l'analyse des abondances des espèces [de poissons] communes aux différents milieux. [...] L'habitat de prédilection de 26 espèces a été défini en fonction des effectifs cumulés par type de milieu. Cet habitat est situé dans la mangrove (11 espèces) ou les récifs coralliens (10 espèces) et plus rarement sur les fonds meubles (5 espèces). [...] Onze espèces ne figurent pas en effectifs suffisants pour déterminer avec précision leur habitat de prédilection.

A sealing component of a blowout preventer that closes the annular space between the pipe and the blowout preventer or wellhead.

Pipe rams, sometimes called "gates", are shaped to fit around drill pipe, so they provide not only an effective seal but act as a support for the pipe should a joint need to be uncoupled.
