Abstract:
Una aeronave para transportar una pluralidad de contenedores de carga que comprende una envoltura aerodinámica delantera, una cola de avión y una columna dispuesta entre la envoltura aerodinámica delantera y la cola de avión; la columna está elaborada de una estructura de peso ligero, de manera que la aeronave tiene una rigidez insuficiente para soportar las cargas de doblado y torsión durante el vuelo; un ensamble de carga que comprende una pluralidad de unidades de carga modulares está montado en forma estructural y desmontable sobre la columna para proporcionar la estructura adicional a la aeronave, requerida para que esta soporte por completo las cargas de doblado y torsión de la aeronave durante el vuelo; los soportes pueden ser provistos para acoplar de manera que se puede desmontar el ensamble de carga a la columna de la aeronave.
Abstract:
A fuel-efficient method for transporting cargo to a desired location via an aircraft. The method comprises determining the weight of the cargo capable of being transported in a single container, selecting a container having a sufficient weight capacity to support the cargo based on the determined weight of the cargo, and filing the selected container with the cargo. The filled container is loaded onto a location on the aircraft beam relative to the aircraft's CG based on the weight of the filled container to stay within the acceptable CG range for the aircraft. The filled containers having the greater weight are positioned on the beam at or adjacent to the aircraft's CG and the filled containers having lower weight are positioned farther from the aircraft's CG. The containers provide strength and rigidity to the beam to sustain the bending and torsional loads in flight.
Abstract:
Una aeronave para llevar al menos un contendor de carga rigido incluye una estructura de larguero con un fuselaje delantero unido al extremo delantero de la estructura de larguero y un empenaje unido al extremo posterior de la estructura de larguero; alas y motores se montan en relacion con la estructura de larguero y una guarda aerodinamica crea una bahia de carga capas de recibir contenedores de carga intermodales de tamano estandar; contenedores de carga intermodal de carga ligera y estructura rigida se posicionan dentro de la mayoria de carga y se montan de forma segura sobre esta; la estructura de larguero esta disenada para soportar vuelos, despegues y aterrizajes cuando la aeronave esta vacia pero requiere la mayor resistencia de los contenedores montados de forma segura a la estructura de larguero cuando la aeronave despega; la aeronave se contempla como avion a control remoto.
Abstract:
A mixing container comprising an outer vessel, one or more inner vessels, and a lid. The outer vessel comprises a bottom, an open mouth and a peripheral sidewall between the open mouth and the bottom. The one or more inner vessels each have an end, an open mouth and a peripheral sidewall between the end and the open mouth. The lid is configured to be removably coupled to the open mouth of the outer vessel and the lid comprises an outer surface and an inner surface coupled to the ends of the one or more inner vessels. A seal is formed between the open mouth of each one of the one or more inner vessels and the bottom of the outer vessel when the lid is coupled to the open mouth of the outer vessel.

Abstract:
An aircraft for carrying at least one rigid cargo container includes a beam structure with a forward fuselage attached to the forward end of the beam structure and an empennage attached to the rearward end of the beam structure. Wings and engines are mounted relative to the beam structure and a fairing creates a cargo bay able to receive standard sized intermodal cargo containers. Intermodal cargo containers of light construction and rigid structure are positioned within the cargo bay and securely mounted therein. The beam structure is designed to support flight, takeoffs and landings when the aircraft is empty but requires the added strength of the containers securely mounted to the beam structure when the aircraft is loaded. The aircraft is contemplated to be a drone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing baked goods and a mold apparatus having a cavity in a desired shape for use in said method, the mold apparatus comprising a gap that allows for venting of vapor produced during heating or baking of a mixture in the mold apparatus but does not allow any significant amount of the mixture to escape from the cavity of the mold apparatus via the gaps.
