Rosemary's Baby(1968)A young couple move into a new apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbors and occurrences. When the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins controlling her life. For more about Rosemary's Baby and the Rosemary's Baby Blu-ray release, see Rosemary's Baby Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on October 4, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Director: Roman Polanski Writers: Roman Polanski, Ira Levin Starring: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans, Ralph Bellamy » See full cast & crew Rosemary's Baby Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. The following text appears inside the booklet provided with this Blu-ray disc: "Approved by director Roman Polanski, this new digital transfer was created in 4K resolution on a Scanity film scanner from the original 35mm camera negative. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, splices, warps, and jitter were manually removed using MTI's DRS and Pixel Farm's PFClean, while Image Systems' Phoenix was used for small dirt, flicker, and scratches. Transfer supervisors: Lee Kline, Maria Palazzola. Colorist: Sheri Eisenberg/Colorworks, Culver City, CA. Additional color correction: Gilles Granier/LTC, Paris. Audio supervisor: Ryan Hullings. Audio restoration: Gene Park." The new and approved by director Roman Polanski high-definition transfer is very strong. Not only are detail and clarity dramatically improved, but color stability is vastly superior (a quick comparison with the out of print R1 DVD release, which Paramount Pictures produced in 2003, reveals a massive gap in quality). Furthermore, there are various close-ups of Rosemary's changing face throughout the film that are so good that actually there is an abundance of easy to see details and textures now that are nowhere to be seen on the DVD release. Shadow definition is also greatly improved. What pleases the most, however, is the very solid organic look the film has. There isn't even a whiff of edge-enhancement, while grain is evenly distributed and well resolved from start to finish. It is also easy to see that the folks at Criterion have carefully cleaned up the film as it is virtually spotless (only the opticals in the very beginning show some inherited rougher spots). Lastly, excluding a few extremely light artifacts, compression is also very strong. To sum it all up, much like Criterion's highly anticipated release of David Fincher's The Game, Rosemary's Baby has been given a complete makeover and the final result is indeed mighty impressive. Fans of the film are in for a very, very special treat. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). Rosemary's Baby Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: English LPCM 1.0. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. The lossless track opens up the film far better than the lossy track found on the R1 DVD release. The sound is thick, well rounded, and there is a very good range of nuanced dynamics. It is also pretty easy to tell that depth is far better. There is no background hiss, pops, cracks, dropouts or distortions.

NASA's commercial trio: Winning strengths outlined BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: September 10, 2012 NASA cited SpaceX's flight experience with the Dragon spacecraft and Boeing's methodical approach to designing a crew capsule in its decision to award the companies $900 million to develop a human-rated commercial spaceship, according to a document released last week.
The 21-month agreements with Boeing, SpaceX and Sierra Nevada were signed to fulfill NASA's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability, or CCiCap, phase of the commercial crew program, which aims to develop a privately-owned human space transportation system to deliver astronauts to the International Space Station by 2017. "It is a capability that includes the spacecraft, the launch vehicle, the ground operations, as well as the flight operations," said Ed Mango, NASA's commercial crew program manger, during the Aug. 3 announcement of the CCiCap winners. The selection document, which details the strengths and weaknesses considered in NASA's decision, was signed by Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for the space agency's human exploration and operations directorate. "I find SpaceX's ability to leverage its existing Falcon/Dragon cargo system with incremental targeted design upgrades reduces the overall scope of the development effort going forward," Gerstenmaier wrote. SpaceX plans up to 25 flights of the Falcon 9 rocket before the launcher's first crewed mission. Nine unmanned Dragon cargo flights are scheduled before astronauts fly in the capsule, according to SpaceX. According to the selection document, the flight heritage of Falcon 9 and Dragon is a "strong technical advantage" and will reveal what parts of the spacecraft and ground systems need additional work.
"This approach did a good job of tying the milestones to completion of certification and qualification activities and will allow for greater review and understanding of technical products prior to advancing to later development milestones," Gerstenmaier wrote. Boeing and SpaceX received agreements worth up to $460 million and $440 million, respectively. NASA will make payments upon the completion of predetermined design and testing milestones. In the statement, Gerstenmaier wrote that SpaceX's proposal had the lowest overall development cost of the winning bids, and Boeing's corporate investment was less than any of the firms. NASA's strategy for commercial crew development focuses on cost-sharing between the government and private industry. Boeing's agreement includes 19 milestones with significant progress in the CST-100 capsule's propulsion system, avionics and wind tunnel testing. SpaceX will work on the Dragon capsule's side-mounted abort system, test the abort system with on-pad and in-flight demonstrations, upgrade the Falcon 9 rocket with more powerful engines, and culminate in a critical design review. The SpaceX agreement includes 14 milestones. SpaceX is targeting a mid-2015 crewed Dragon test flight, and Boeing's schedule calls for a piloted CST-100 demo mission in late 2016.
Sierra Nevada will also conduct atmospheric landing tests of a Dream Chaser test article. In his decision to award Sierra Nevada less than half the amount received by the other CCiCap winners, Gerstenmaier highlighted the complexity and risk of the Dream Chaser's design, which could cause delays and cost growth. But NASA kept Sierra Nevada in the program due to the unique Dream Chaser concept. The winged lifting body would return to Earth for a runway landing, giving crews and science payloads a smoother ride than capsules. CST-100 and Dream Chaser flights would blast off aboard United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rockets from Cape Canaveral, Fla. All three systems approved for government funding would carry up to seven astronauts on each flight. In addition to the Liberty proposal by ATK, NASA received bids from Spacedesign Corp., American Aerospace Inc. and Space Operations. Those three proposals were not considered because they were late or did not meet fundamental criteria set for the competition, according to the selection statement. |

Reese Witherspoon [1] gets down and dirty in the official trailer for Wild, which was released on Thursday. In the clip, Reese — who portrays author Cheryl Strayed [2] in the big-screen adaptation — hikes the Pacific Crest Trail on an epic journey of self-discovery after losing her mother to cancer (Cheryl's mom, Bobbi, is played by Laura Dern). While in the grieving process, Strayed is also going through a divorce and turns to drinking, drugs, and promiscuity to cope. Even if you haven't read the book — which you definitely should — it's still pretty emotional watching Witherspoon as a woman crumbling under the weight of her own struggles. Watch the trailer below now, and let us know: are you excited to see Wild?

Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) tapped former SAP (NYSE:SAP) chief Leo Apotheker for its vacant CEO spot on Thursday as the worldŌĆÖs largest tech company by revenue looks to turn the page on its controversial ouster of Mark Hurd.
H-P, which has been searching for a new CEO for three weeks, also named Ray Lane, a former Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) president and chief operating officer, as its new non-executive chairman of the board.
Apotheker spent more than 20 years at SAP, including a tenure as the business software makerŌĆÖs CEO. HeŌĆÖs credited with transforming SAPŌĆÖs research and development operations and its technology platforms.
ŌĆ£Leo is a strategic thinker with a passion for technology, wide-reaching global experience and proven operational discipline -- exactly what we were looking for in a CEO," Robert Ryan, lead independent director of H-PŌĆÖs board, said in a statement. "After more than two decades in the industry, he has a strong track record of driving technological innovation, building customer relationships and developing world-class teams."
Apotheker succeeds Cathie Lesjak, H-PŌĆÖs chief financial officer who took over on an interim basis after Hurd left the company. Hurd was pushed out in the wake of an ethics scandal that shocked Silicon Valley and recently joined Larry Ellison at Oracle.
Lesjak, who wasnŌĆÖt considered a candidate for the top job, is expected to continue serving as CFO and a member of H-PŌĆÖs executive committee.
H-P had said it was looking at a number of internal and external candidates to replace Hurd, with Reuters recently reporting it was rejected by a pair of IBM (NYSE:IBM) senior execs. Analysts had expected H-P to seriously look at a number of in-house candidates, including Todd Bradley, Ann Livermore and Dave Donatelli.
ŌĆ£H-P has a powerful mix of businesses, products and services, one of the most innovative cultures in the industry, and an accomplished management team who have played a critical role in its success," said Apotheker. "I am deeply honored to be joining the more than 300,000 dedicated H-P employees."
Lane, a former Oracle senior exec, had been serving as a managing partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
ŌĆ£I am excited to join the board of this pioneering company, and look forward to working closely with Leo -- and the rest of the board and senior management team -- as they capitalize on the changes taking place across the industry," Lane said.
After being briefly halted, H-P's shares rose slightly in extended trading on Thursday, gaining 0.5% to $42.27. The stock tumbled in the wake of the Hurd ouster and is down nearly 18% year-to-date.

a turbofan engine including a fan section, a compressor section, a combustion section, turbine section and nozzle section, said turbine section having a low-pressure turbine portion coupled to and driving said fan section and a high-pressure turbine portion coupled to and driving said compressor section, said engine having a selectable operating point wherein a portion of the power generatable by said low-pressure turbine at a selected operating power setting is extracted to drive said fan section;
a lift fan;
a drive shaft means coupling said fan section to said lift fan;
clutch means for detachable coupling said fan section to said lift fan; and
means to shift said selectable operating point of said engine to a second operating point at the selected power setting increasing the power extracted by said low-pressure turbine portion of said turbine section;
such that power extracted by said low-pressure turbine portion and applied to said fan section can be increased without changing the selected power setting.
The invention relates to the field of propulsion systems and, in particular, to a propulsion system for vertical and short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft.
The efficiency of a propulsion system for an aircraft is maximized when the velocity of the exhaust gases equals the forward velocity of the aircraft. Thus, during takeoff, landing and hovering it is obvious that a helicopter, which provides a small incremental velocity to a large mass of air, is more efficient than a jet aircraft, which provides a large incremental velocity to a small mass of air. However, a helicopter, because of its very large diameter rotor, has a limited forward velocity, certainly not much over two hundred miles per hour. Thus, most V/STOL aircraft are compromises. For example, the AV-8A Harrier V/STOL aircraft utilizes a turbofan engine for both hover and cruise propulsion. As with a helicopter, the large fan provides significant thrust for vertical lift in hover, but its correspondingly large frontal area increases the drag of the aircraft and limits its maximum speed to just barely above supersonic speed.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,474,345 "Tandem Fan Series Flow VSTOL Propulsion System" by R.G. Musgrove, a jet engine with a small fan, which is capable of providing supersonic performance, is modified to provide vertical lift. The basic engine fan is split to provide fore and aft fans connected by means of a common drive shaft. The fans are centrally mounted in a duct located within the aircraft along its longitudinal axis. In normal wing borne flight (herein after referred to as normal flight), the fans operate in series with the fan exhaust mixing with the turbine exhaust and exiting through a nozzle located at the rear of the aircraft. In the vertical mode of operation, a diverter is positioned downstream of the forward fan and is movable to a position for diverting the exhaust from the forward fan downward relative to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, while simultaneously opening an auxiliary inlet for permitting the introduction of air to the aft fan. An aft diverter is located in the nozzle which is also moveable to a position for diverting the exhaust from the aft fan and engine core downward. Thus, for vertical flight the diverters are actuated causing the exhaust from both fans and the core engine to be directed downward fore and aft of the center of gravity of the aircraft.
However, the tandem fan engine has less thrust in the vertcial takeoff and landing mode of operation than it has in the normal flight mode of operation. The thrust is larger in cruise because airflow passes through both fans, and thus, the core is supplied with air that is raised to a higher pressure level; whereas, in the vertical mode the core engine airflow passes through only the aft fan. Consequently, the tandem fan concept is not an efficient design for a V/STOL aircraft.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,791,783 "Convertible Aircraft Engine" by R.E. Neitzel, a turbofan concept is disclosed for converting almost all the power used by the engine fan to shaft horsepower to drive a helicopter rotor. Guide vanes located on both sides of the outer portion of the engine fan can be actuated to block off air flow through the fan duct while still allowing air flow into the engine core. A gear mounted on the forward end of the fan shaft is coupled to a drive shaft which in turn drives the rotor. Such a system provides maximum efficiency during takeoff and landing and also during normal flight. However, if high speed flight is to be accomplished the rotor must be stopped (x-wing concept) or stopped and stored. The former concept severely limits the top speed of the aircraft, while the latter causes a severe weight penalty and requires a complex folding and storing system.
Thus, it is a primary object of the subject invention to provide a propulsion system for an aircraft.
It is another primary object of the subject invention to provide a propulsion system for V/STOL aircraft.
It is a further object of the subject invention to provide a propulsion system for supersonic V/STOL aircraft.
It is a still further object of the subject invention to provide a propulsion system for V/STOL aircraft having improved efficiency in both the takeoff, landing and supersonic flight modes.
An additional object of the subject invention is to provide a propulsion system for a V/STOL aircraft that is very efficient at high speeds and which has sufficient thrust during landing and takeoff.
The invention is a propulsion system for a V/STOL aircraft. In detail, the invention comprises a turbofan engine mounted within the airframe having the fan face coupled to the inlet duct. The engine is a mixed flow type having fan, high pressure compressor, combustion, turbine and exhaust nozzle sections. The turbine section includes a high-pressure turbine portion which drives the high pressure compressor section and a low pressure turbine portion which drives the fan section. The inner portion of the fan section is in front of the high pressure compressor section and, thus, acts as a low pressure compressor section. Since the fan section is connected by a first shaft to the low pressure turbine portion and the high pressure compressor is connected to the high pressure turbine portion by a hollow shaft rotatably mounted about the first shaft, they are often referred to as spools. Thus, in the turbofan engine thus far described, it is referred to as a two spool engine. Furthermore, the high pressure compressor section, combustion section and high pressure turbine portion are, collectively, referred to as the core or core engine.
In this type of engine, the turbine exhaust produces a significant portion of the total thrust thereof and, preferably, has a common fan and turbine exhaust nozzle section exiting (mixed flow) at the rear of the aircraft when operated in the normal flight mode. The exhaust nozzle section is designed to divert exhaust flow either horizontally for normal flight or vertically downward for takeoff and landing, and intermediate positions therebetween when transferring from vertical to horizontal flight and visa versa. A vertically mounted lift fan assembly, having a lift fan rotor, is positioned forward of the engine and connected by a drive shaft to the front of the engine fan. A clutch is mounted in the drive line between the lift fan assembly and engine for disconnecting the lift fan rotor from the engine. Power to drive the lift fan rotor is obtained by increasing the engine core exhaust nozzle area( exhaust nozzle section exit cross-sectional area). This allows more power to be extracted from the turbine exhaust during V/STOL operation. The excess power is absorbed by the lift fan rotor which is "clutched in" during takeoff and landing and the transition to and from normal flight. By doing so, the operating point of the engine is shifted so that more power is applied to the lift fan rotor which is more efficient at these lower speeds. The lift fan exhaust duct assembly is equipped with a vectoring system to deflect the thrust from a vertical direction in vertical flight to an aft vectoring direction during transition to and from normal flight. After transitioning to horizontal flight, the operating point of the engine is returned to its normal cruise mode of operation which is more efficient at higher speeds.
To control the power extracted from the low-pressure turbine section, a mechanism is provided for varying the exhaust nozzle exit cross-sectional area. Depending on the particular design of the turbofan, it may be desirable to add one or more additional turbines to the low-pressure turbine section in order to extract the additional power. It is important to note that only the low-pressure turbine section will sense the reduction in back pressure caused by an increase in nozzle exit cross-sectional area; thus, the high-pressure turbine portion driving the high-pressure compressor section will sense little or no decrease in back pressure.
If the engine is operated during normal flight as a mixed flow turbofan engine, it can also be operated as a separate flow engine in the vertical flight mode of operation by blocking off the fan duct with a plurality of doors which divert the fan section exhaust to roll control nozzle assemblies. The roll control nozzle assemblies consist of a pair of ducts which connect to the fan duct aft of the fan section and extend outward therefrom, terminating in downward directed variable cross-sectional area roll control nozzles. Valves located in the ducts at the fan section duct wall open to admit fan exhaust to the individual roll control nozzle assemblies which are differentially controlled to develop roll control forces. Pitch axis control power for the aircraft in the vertical and transitional flight regimes is achieved by thrust modulation between the lift fan assembly and the engine core turbine exhaust. This is accomplished by variable inlet guide vanes located just upstream of the lift fan rotor and the variable cross-sectional area exhaust nozzle section. As the angle of the inlet guide vanes are varied, the power to drive the lift fan rotor is varied. Alternatively, the lift fan assembly nozzle cross-sectional area may be varied to provide the same effect. Changing the thrust produced by the lift fan rotor requires that the power extracted by the low pressure turbine portion to correspondingly change. This, of course, can be accomplished by changing the nozzle section exit cross-sectional area. While modulating the lift fan rotor and engine core exhaust thrust levels for pitch control, the sum of these thrusts remain essentially constant.
Thus, for takeoff the lift fan rotor is "clutched in" and the engine exhaust nozzle assembly is positioned to divert the exhaust downward and the nozzle section exit cross-sectional area is increased so that additional power is extracted from the turbine exhaust by the low-pressure turbine section and applied to the fan section and lift fan rotor. Therefore, the fan section to core airflow ratio (commonly called the engine bypass ratio) will have been increased significantly resulting in a higher thrust-to-horsepower specific ratio. After takeoff, the exhaust nozzle section is adjusted back to a position where the exhaust is directed along the longitudinal axis, which is accomplished slowly as the aircraft gains speed. The operating point of the engine is returned to its normal position, when the fan rotor is de-clutched, by decreasing the nozzle section cross-sectional area. The actual transition points, rates of nozzle cross-sectional area change and nozzle diversion angle change, etc. will vary with the design of the particular aircraft and engine used.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings in which the presently preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for purposes of illustration and description only and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
Illustrated in FIG. 1 is a planform view of a V/STOL aircraft incorporating the subject propulsion system.
Illustrated in FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the aircraft shown in FIG. 1 taken along the line 2--2, particularly illustrating the subject propulsion system.
Illustrated in FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the nozzle section of the propulsion system shown in FIG. 2.
Illustrated in FIG. 4 is a view looking forward from the rear of the propulsion system shown in FIG. 1.
Illustrated in FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the aircraft shown in FIG. 1 taken along the line 5--5.
Illustrated in FIG. 1 is a conventional V/STOL type aircraft, generally indicated by numeral 10, having a longitudinal axis 11. The aircraft 10 includes a fuselage 12 with a nose 14, tail 16, wings 18A and 18B, vertical stabilizer 20, and horizontal stabilizers 22A and 22B. Other features include a cockpit 24, engine inlets 26A and 26B which join to form an engine inlet duct 28. The subject propulsion system, generally indicated by numeral 30, includes a turbofan engine 31 having an inlet 32 in communication with duct 28 and an exhaust nozzle section 34 at the tail 16. The turbofan engine 31 is coupled to a vertically mounted lift fan assembly 36 by means of a drive shaft 38. Additionally illustrated are control nozzle assemblies 40A and 40B which are coupled to the engine 30 and exit to either side of fuselage 12 on the under side of the wings 18A and 18B, respectively. A further explanation of the function of the roll control nozzle assemblies 40 will be subsequently provided.
Illustrated in FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the aircraft shown in FIG. 1 particularly illustrating the propulsion system 30. As previously stated, the propulsion system 30 includes the turbofan engine 31, and as depicted it is a two-spool mixed flow type wherein the fan and turbine exhausts are mixed together in a common duct and exit through a common nozzle. In detail, the engine 31 includes a fan section 46 comprising fans 48A and 48B located within a fan duct 50 defined by a cylindrical wall 51. The fans 48A and 48B are attached to a rotatably mounted drive shaft 52 and also to drive shaft 38. The opposite end of the drive shaft 52 is attached to a low-pressure turbine portion 56 of a turbine section 58. The low-pressure turbine portion 56, for purposes of illustration, incorporates two turbines 59 and 60. However, as will be subsequently discussed, in some instances only one or more than two may be necessary.
Rotatably mounted about the drive shaft 52 is a hollow drive shaft 62 attached at one end to a high-pressure compressor section 65 and at its opposite end to a high-pressure turbine portion of turbine section 58 and as illustrated comprising a single turbine 66. A combustion section 74 is positioned between the high-pressure compressor 65 and high-pressure turbine 66. The fan section 46 and turbine section 5B exhausts join together within a common duct portion 75 and exits out the exhaust nozzle section 34 during the normal flight operation. The high pressure compressor section 65, combustion section 74 and turbine section 58 is typically called the core.
The exhaust nozzle section 34 is designed to divert the exhaust from a horizontal direction aligned with the longitudinal axis 11 (best seen in FIG. 1) for normal flight to a vertically downward direction (90 degrees) for takeoff and landing. Still referring to FIG. 2 and additionally to FIG. 3, which is an aft view of the aircraft shown in FIG. 1, it can be seen that the nozzle section 34 includes a plurality of rectangular telescoping sections 78A, 78B and 78C rotatably mounted at their ends about a pivot point 79. Thus, when the nozzle is retracted, it has a generally rectangular shaped cross-section and when extended, indicated by numeral 34', diverts the exhaust 90 degrees to a downward direction. Such nozzles are old in the art and thus, need not be discussed in further detail.
An extendable and retractable slidable plate 80 is located at the bottom of the nozzle section 34. When the telescoping sections 78A-C are extended during takeoff and landing the nozzle section cross-sectional area can be varied by moving the plate 80 either inward or outward and in so doing varies the back pressure within the common duct portion 75 of the duct 50. Since the flow is subsonic within the common duct 75, the power extracted from the engine core exhaust by the low-pressure turbine portion 56 is a function of the pressure differential and the associated temperature change across the low-pressure turbine portion 56. Furthermore, the pressure and temperature of the combustion products leaving the combustion section 74 and passing through the high pressure turbine 66 and entering the low-pressure turbine portion 56 is constant for a specific engine power setting; thus, power extraction increases as the pressure in duct 75 is reduced. The decrease in back pressure has little or no effect on the high-pressure turbine 68, thus, there is no effect on the compressor section 65. The additional power extracted from the turbine exhaust by the low-pressure turbine portion 56 is applied to the lift fan section 36 as now described.
Primarily referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that the lift fan assembly 36 comprises a vertical duct 90 which extends from the top 92 of the aircraft, having an entrance 93 covered by a plurality of moveable doors 94, and an exit 96 at the bottom 97 of the aircraft, covered by a plurality of doors 98. The doors 94 and 98 are moveable from fully retracted positions, indicated by numerals 94A and 98A, during normal flight to fully opened positions, indicated by numerals 94B and 98B, for takeoff and landing. Mounted within the duct 90 is a gearbox/transmission assembly 102 coupled at one end to a lift fan rotor 106 and to the shaft 38 at the other end via a clutch 108. A set of variable inlet guide vanes 109 are mounted on top of the lift fan rotor 106 which are used to control the power extracted therefrom. Thus, with the clutch 108 engaged, any additional power extracted from the engine 31 low-pressure turbine portion 56 is applied to the lift fan rotor 106.
In the vertical mode of operation, the engine 31 can operate in a separate flow cycle mode allowing the engine fan section 46 bypass airflow to be routed to nozzles located in the aircraft's wings 18A and 18B to produce reaction roll control power. Still referring to FIG. 2 and additionally to FIG. 5, which is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along the line 5--5, showing the left and right roll control assemblies 40A and 40B, respectively, it can be seen that the fan section 46 exhaust can be blocked off by a plurality of doors 112. These doors 112, which are mounted on the duct wall 51 are moveable inwardly so as to block off the fan section 46 exhaust. Left and right roll control ducts 114A and 114B, respectively, are connected to the duct wall 51 just downstream of the fan 48B and extend outward from the longitudinal axis 11 and terminate in left and right downward directed variable cross-sectional area roll control nozzles 116A and 116B, respectively. Control valves 118A and 118B control the flow into the ducts 114A and 114B, respectively, while nozzles 116A and 116B control the rate of flow for roll control.
Thus, the vertical or short takeoff procedure would begin with the starting of the engine 30. The nozzle section 34 is adjusted such that the turbine exhaust is directed downward, the clutch 108 is engaged, the doors 94 and 98 are positioned in the fully opened positions 94B and 98B. The doors 112 are extended so that the fan section 46 exhaust is diverted to the roll control nozzle assemblies 40A and 40B and the control valves 118A and 118B are opened. The slidable plate 80 is adjusted so that the engine operating point is shifted such that more power is extracted by the turbine portion 56 (turbines 59 and 60) which is transferred to the fan section 46 and lift fan assembly 36; however, the additional power is only absorbed by the lift fan rotor 106. As engine power is increased, the aircraft will gain altitude on the thrust from the lift fan rotor 106, fan section 46, whose exhaust is diverted to the roll control nozzles 116A and 116B and also from the turbine exhaust exiting out of the nozzle section 34.
Thus, it is readily apparent that the engine has a selectable operating point wherein a portion of the power generatable by the low-pressure turbine, at a selected operating power setting, is extracted to drive the fan section. Furthermore, the means to shift this selectable operating point of the engine to a second operating point, at the selected power setting, increasing the power extracted by the low-pressure turbine portion of the turbine section such that additional power extracted thereby is also applied to the fan section without changing the selected power setting, can comprise: a) a means to change the cross-sectional exit area of the nozzle section changing the back pressure aft of the turbine section; or means to divert the fan section exhaust from the nozzle section; or a combination of both. Note that all of these means to shift the operating point are located aft of the fan section. The fan section continues to produce thrust even during shifting from the first to the second operating point of the engine at a selected power setting. Furthermore, when the lift fan is clutched in, the thrust produced by the fan section remains constant because the additional power is absorbed by the lift fan.
An added benefit of diverting the fan section 46 exhaust is that the back pressure in the common duct portion 75 is further reduced; thus, this feature can be used in conjunction with the slidable plate 80 to control the power extracted by the low pressure turbine portion 56 of the turbine section 58. In fact, in some instances, it maybe possible to modulate the doors 112 and valves 118A and 118B to control the back pressure in the common duct portion 75 so that the need for the slidable plate 80 is eliminated.
The pitch of the aircraft is controlled by use of the variable inlet guide vanes 109, which can be used to control the airflow to the lift fan rotor 106 and, thus, raise or lower the thrust produced thereby. These guide vanes are used in conjunction with the slidable plate 80 which appropriately controls the power extracted from the low pressure turbine portion 56 so as to match the power requirements of the lift fan rotor 106. While modulating the thrust produced by the lift fan rotor 106 and the power extracted from the turbine exhaust of the engine core, the total sum of the thrust of the lift fan assembly and exhaust nozzle section remains essentially constant.
After sufficient altitude is reached, the telescoping sections 78A, 78B and 78C are slowly retracted allowing the turbine exhaust to move toward alignment with the longitudinal axis 11 of the aircraft producing a forward thrust. The lift fan exit doors 98 are also rotated aft toward the partially closed position to vector the exhaust thrust rearward. These doors 98 and telescoping sections 78A-C are modulated to control the resultant thrust at the desired angle as a function of aircraft forward speed during transition to normal flight. After sufficient aerodynamic lift is produced to maintain the altitude of the aircraft, the lift fan assembly 36 is de-clutched, lift fan doors 94 and 98 are closed (to positions indicated by numerals 94A and 98A), the doors 112 are retracted, valves 118A and 118B are closed, the telescoping sections 78A, 78B and 78C are fully retracted and the slidable plate 80 is repositioned so that the engine operating point is returned to its cruise mode of operation. For vertical or short landing the procedure is reversed.
While the invention has been described with reference to particular embodiment, it should be understood that the embodiments is merely illustrative as there are numerous variations and modifications which may be made by those skilled in the art. Thus, the invention is to be construed as being limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
The invention has application in the aircraft industry and, in particular, to industries making propulsion systems for aircraft.

PM to inaugurate Rs 325-cr highway at Panipat
New Delhi, April 3 The Rs 325-crore state-of-the-art highway will pass right through the heart of city and will be executed by the L&T Panipat Elevated Corridor Pvt Ltd with a negative grant of Rs 96.4 crore (net present value) on the built-operate-transfer (BOT) basis. The contract agreement for the project was signed on July 27, 2005 and the preliminary ground work is on. The construction period for the highway is about three years with the concession period of 20 years. This means that the six-lane between 86.0 km and 96.0 km on the NH-I will be ready for use by 2009. The project constitutes providing six-lane highway for thorough fare with an elevated structure over most of the central built-up section covering the congested crossing at Gohana road, Sanauli road, Assand road crossings and going up to the Skylark tourist complex where Haryana Mini Secretariat is likely to come up. The other features of this access-controlled six-lane highway include separate two-lane peripheral road with paved shoulders on either side for the local traffic. The elevated structure will have 3048-m viaduct and 360-m ramps, covering central built up at the Panipat section, including the Gohana, Sanauli and Asand road crossings, besides the bus stand and up to the Skylark tourist complex, an official spokesperson of the NHAI said. Two underpasses at 87.365 km and 93.600 km with 5.5-m vertical clearance and 20-m effective span to accommodate four-lane divided carriage-way with a median and 1.5-m footpath on the either side will be provided for pedestrians. Besides this a new bridge covering peripheral roads and the main carriage-way over the existing gunda nullah crossing near the PWD rest house will also be constructed along with signalised junctions for the Gohana and Sanauli road crossings, the Railway road, bus stand, Devi mandir road and the Assand road crossing with thorough traffic going elevated stricture. Widening, construction and reconstruction of culverts drains ducts for services have also been planned along with a multi-lane toll plaza. |
Workers to protest during PMs visit
Panipat, April 3 Talking to TNS here today, general secretary of th Indian Federation of Trade Unions P. P. Kapoor said an 8-point memorandum would be submitted to the PM. The TWU had decided to organise a rally on Circus Ground, the venue where the PM would address a public rally. Meanwhile, former Union Minister I. D. Swami has urged the Centre to ensure the timely completion of the elevated highway at Panipat. Talking to the reporters, here today, the senior BJP leader said the delayed execution of the project had led the agencies to incur double the price. He said the project when finalised during his tenure as MP, the cost was Rs 200 crore of the 4 km elevated path. |
Poll rolls with photos for all 90 constituencies Chandigarh, April 3 This will make Haryana the first state in North India and the second after Kerala where the electoral rolls will have the photographs of the voters. At present, two Assembly constituencies of Haryana, Ambala Cantt and Baroda, have electoral rolls with the photographs of the voters. These electoral rolls were used during the last Assembly elections. A spokesman of the Haryana Election Department said here today the electoral rolls having the photographs of the voters would be displayed at the offices of the Deputy Commissioner, District Election Officer, Subdivisional Officer(Civil), Deputy Election Officer,Tehsildar and District Public Relations Officer concerned besides post offices, patwarkhanas, panchayat ghars and municipalities from April 4 to 25 to enable the voters to verify their particulars. He said errors, if any, could be got corrected by filling Form 8 and submitting it to the Electoral Registration Officer concerned. Objections to the names of those persons who had died or become ineligible to vote because of other reasons and for registering as voters could be filed on the relevant forms from April 4 to April 25 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily with the Electoral Registration Officer concerned. |
Youth admits killing girlfriend
Yamunanagar, April 3 After allegedly killing Tarwinder Kaur (20), a BA (III) student of Hindu Girls College, Jagadhri, he had tried to end his own life. He is admitted to the PGI, Chandigarh. An official of the district police is at the PGI waiting for Rakesh to recover. In a handwritten document, Rakesh, stated that had he not killed Tarwinder, the latter would have eliminated him. The body of Tarwinder was found in a Jagadhri hotel. She had reportedly rented the room along with Rakesh (who had signed as Amit in the hotel logbook) on Saturday. Police sources said she had been frequenting the hotel with Rakesh during the past several years. The sources said Tarwinder had left her Patri Mohala residence (Jagadhri) on Saturday on the pretext of returning books to the college library. When she did not return in time, her parents started search for her. Meanwhile, the hotel staff noticed a body in the room and informed the police. The body was later identified as that of Tarwinder. On Saturday evening, Rakesh was found lying in Amadalpur village after he apparently tried to end his life. The police today registered a case under Sections 302 and 309, IPC, against Rakesh. |
Scam in liquor vend allotment alleged
Hisar, April 3 Stating that the new excise policy, introduced by the Hooda government, had proved to be a failure, Prof Singh maintained that the governments move to open more vends and allow free flow of liquor from other states would lead to clashes and upsurge in crime. Addressing a news conference here today, the former minister pointed out that contrary to the claims of the government, no increase had been registered in the revenue earned through licence fee for liquor vends. He also condemned the reported decision of the authorities concerned to allot vends to selected parties at the considerably reduced rates. Accusing the Hooda regime of breaching the faith of state Assembly, Prof Singh asserted that by stating that the states high court could be located anywhere, the Chief Minister had forgone Haryanas claim over Chandigarh. The INLD leader even charged the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre with having a pro-Punjab stance and neglecting Haryanas interests. In view of the impending elections to the Punjab Assembly, the Centre is trying to give an edge to the Punjab Chief Minister, Capt Amarinder Singh, at the cost of the interests of Haryana, he added. Prof Singh maintained that the Centre could start the work on the completion of the SYL canal, but instead of doing so, it was purposely dilly-dallying the matter and misleading the Haryana people on the issue. |
Case solved with contract killers surrender
Jhajjar, April 3 The accused is currently lodged at the Moti Nagar police station in Delhi, police sources said here today. He would be brought here on transit remand, for which a police team had been sent to Delhi. According to DSP Balwan Singh Rana, Sanjay Tyagi (38), a resident of Sector 6, Bahadurgarh, around 12 cases of murder had been registered against Tyagi in Haryana alone. The police said he had been hired for Rs 10 lakh to kill the cable operator, Ashok Sharma, last month. He was also involved in a double murder case in Chhudani village and executing the murder of a trader, Vijay Aggrawal, in Karnal. He had also shot a Haryana policeman and another murder accused around five years ago in Bahadurgarh. In all, 16 cases of murder were registered against him in Haryana and Delhi, besides around 30 other cases of dacoity, theft and attempt to murder. The police had received a tip-off about his hideout in Sector 6, Bahadurgarh, and it raided on the premises on March 25, but he managed to give them a slip. |
Cong seeks MCs reply on bad roads
Ambala, April 3 Former Ambala Cantt MLA and Vikas Parishad chief Anil Vij today said a vigilance committee comprising Congress municipal councillors had found that the roads constructed were of questionable quality. "It has come to our notice that an understanding had been worked out between MLA D.K. Bansal and MC President Neelam Sharma. The people of Ambala Cantt would like to know about the status of the allegations levelled by the Congress MCs," he said. The poor quality of roads had been highlighted after 10 municipal councillors had offered to tender their resignation over the matter. They had expressed their displeasure with the construction work. Following it, a meeting between Mr Bansal and Ms Neelam Sharma took place. Mr Bansal said Ms Sharma assured that good quality roads would be constructed. "It is a serious issue and the quality of the construction of roads needs to be closely monitored," he said. Ms Sharma said she had directed the officials concerned to take samples and forward them for testing in laboratories. |
Dharna by property dealers
Yamunanagar, April 3 The property dealers who had gathered at the secretariat were of the view in the law regarding the rates of registration of land, the district administration had no role. Mr Deepak Sondhi, President of the association, said that the officials concerned misguide people who go to them for registry of land. The rates have been hiked between three and five times. In past the hike used to be between five and 10 per cent, said Mr Sondhi. He said that this year municipal bodies would carry out assessment of house tax and the unprecedented hike in rates would increase the burden of common man. Meanwhile, woman residents of Burkalan village of Chhachhrouli block who are holding a dharna against the cancellation of the newly allocated liquor vends in their village today submitted a memorandum to the administration during the weekly khula darbar today. Activists of the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh under the leadership of Mr Ran Singh Roadchappar raised slogans against the Centre of its proposed move to import 15 lakh quintals of wheat. |
Lovers commit suicide
Rewari, April 3 They were admitted to the Civil Hospital at Narnaul where they failed to respond to the treatment and died. Wards of two neighbouring families of CRPF personnel they had developed liking for each other. When parents of the girl recently arranged her engagement somewhere else, it led to frustration which made them take the extreme step. The bodies, were handed over to respective families after the post-mortem examination in civil hospital at Narnaul. |
Khula Darbar discontinued
Yamunanagar, April 3 Only on first Monday of a month, the darbar will be held at secretariat and during the remaining Mondays darbars will be held in different development blocks of the district. Deputy Commissioner Sukriti Likhi announced this while chairing the weekly Khula Darbar at the secretariat today. She said the decision had been taken for the benefit of the people as now they could avail the benefits of the darbar in their neighbourhood.

2010 Vinho Verde Harvest Report: High Quality Despite Variable Weather Conditions
NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — The Vinho Verde Regional Viticultural Commission (CVRVV) is happy to announce that the harvest period, which ended in late October, has resulted in a 2010 vintage characterized by balance and quality.
After a cold and wet winter in the Vinho Verde region, bud-break was slightly later than usual, and the water in the soil led to increased vigor and a good rate of bud-break. Variable weather conditions followed bud break, but higher temperatures in the second week of May sparked earlier-than-usual flowering in Alvarinho, Avesso and Borracal. Flowering of other varieties quickly followed.
High temperatures preceded the earlier-than-usual start to the veraison period. Despite beginning early, the duration of veraison was longer than most, due to high temperatures in July and August that caused water and heat stress.
Just before harvest, which began in early September, high temperatures and extremely low rainfall allowed the grapes to develop a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity.
"Vintners in Vinho Verde are very pleased with the 2010 harvest which provided the balance that makes Vinho Verde wines so crisp and vivacious," said Manuel Pinheiro, Executive President of the CVRVV.
The 2010 harvest yielded approximately an 8% higher quantity than the 2009 harvest.
About The Vinho Verde Regional Viticultural Commission
The Comissao de Viticultura da Regiao dos Vinhos Verdes (CVRVV- Vinho Verde Regional Viticultural Commission) was created in 1926 to regulate the production and marketing of Vinho Verde. It is an inter-professional organization with the objective of defending the regional and national heritage that makes up the Vinho Verde Controlled Appellation of Origin (CAO) and the Minho Geographic Indication (GI).

O'Fallon Man Honors Mother-in-law With Win
Juan Cuellar believes his deceased mother-in-law may have been watching over his family last weekend. On Saturday, Cuellar took his family to visit the grave site of his wife's mother, Daisy. They left yellow roses and said some prayers in her name. The next day, on Mother's Day, he purchased a Missouri Lottery "The Price is Right" Scratchers ticket and won $25,000.
"I think my mother-in-law sent us some help," said Cuellar. "I definitely do."
Cuellar, 57, is a construction contractor and said that work has been slow this year. He encouraged his wife, Barbara, to ask for a blessing while visiting her mother's grave. Cuellar bought the winning ticket while taking his own mother home after hosting Mother's Day lunch. He went to Circle K, 2035 Highway K, in O'Fallon, to purchase a newspaper and a Lottery ticket.
"I usually buy the 'Crossword' (tickets). But this one just caught me and looked different, you know," Cuellar said of "The Price is Right" ticket.
Later, Cuellar said he scratched the ticket in tandem with his wife.
"My wife was around, and she started scratching it," recalled Cuellar. "I kind of said, 'Hey, that's my ticket!' I did one, and then she did one, and we kept uncovering stuff."
"It really was kind of miraculous."
"The Price is Right,"
a $3 game that officially began May 1, features a top prize of $50,000.

UAF investigates improper injections by students
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - University of Alaska Fairbanks officials are reviewing procedures after students in a medical assistant program were told to inject each other with a solution not approved for human use.
Reports say a clinical procedures instructor in the university's Community and Technical College had students repeatedly inject others with a solution intended to only be used on training pads. About 30 students in two classes were involved. It's not known how many injections students received, but logs show the average student got about 10 injections each. Officials say those logs may be incomplete. Students have complained of a burning sensation after the injection. Some also had skin irritation. The instructor has been placed on paid investigatory leave. UAF also is investigating why complaints weren't escalated to administrators. |

Once a year in September there is a lottery to drive through Denali National Park. If you don't have this lottery pass you have to ride in school buses in order to see Denali. Our dear friends, the Dekays, were so generous and gave us one of their lottery passes. I hear they are hard to get so we were very fortunate. We had amazing weather, beautiful views of Denali, a nice, free cabin to stay in, good friends, and good wildlife viewing. This was by far my best Alaska experience.

Escape to Paradise
Okay, it wasn't Hawaii, but it sure was a wonderful escape from winter! We were able to spend some time with my brother Ryan and his wife Jessica and Kaleb the first week. The next week we met up with Erica and her boys Dawson and Isaac and Trisha and Naomi (all cousins). It was so much fun and Matthew and Drew loved being with their cousins. We also saw Brandee and Jeremy Hubbard which was wonderful. Disneyland truly is magical and I cannot wait until our next trip in 2011 when all the new rides will be comleted.
