Google releases update YouTube interface for iOS app, following Android's leadPocket-lint
Google has updated the official YouTube for iOS app on Tuesday, bringing a slew of new features to the table in the app's biggest update yet. The update for iOS comes after Android's YouTube app received the same notable features on Monday, improving the video viewing across both platforms. In a blog post, the company explains the update by calling it "more Youtube in your YouTube apps".
Most notably, YouTube for iOS gained multitasking abilities so you can watch Miley Cyrus's twerking video a bit easier. Users can now send any video to a small preview screen in the bottom right by swiping down and pressing the down arrow in the top left. Alternatively, users can just press the back button. Users can therefore navigate and watch video simultaneously, resume full screen by tapping the preview, or exit the preview by swiping to the side. Sliding to the side will even fade the video's volume.
Just like the Android app, you'll also find an update to the user interface of YouTube for iOS, adding a sleeker look that Google has begun deploying across its mobile apps. A slide-out navigation gives you access to several categories across YouTube, the ability to sign-in to your YouTube account, and access to settings. Search and navigating around videos are in typical YouTube fashion, and with the update, you can now search and browse channels for playlists.
Expanding on Chromecast functionality, you'll now find you can choose what to watch next. A preview screen will appear when your devices are connected and you select a video, with options to play the video or queue it up to watch next.
The YouTube for iOS update is now available on the App Store. Read more about the Android update from Monday.

USC spring preview: Teamwide injury update
The following USC players will miss part or all of spring practice or will be limited because of injuries, according to the soon-to-be released spring prospectus:
** WR Kyle Prater "likely will miss spring drills with a foot injury."
** OL Khaled Holmes "could be limited because of a shoulder injury."
** OT Kevin Graf (shoulder) and C Abe Markowitz (foot) "likely will miss spring drills while recuperating from injuries."
** DE Wes Horton "could be limited in spring drills while rehabbing a foot injury."
** DL Armond Armstead "could miss spring drills due to a medical condition."
** DT Christian Tupou "likely will miss spring drills while recuperating" from last year's knee injury.
** MLB Devon Kennard "likely will miss spring practice while healing from a hip injury."
** OLB Shane Horton "is rehabbing from a hip injury and could miss spring drills."
** S Drew McAllister "could be limited in spring drills" because of last season's hip injury.
** CBs T.J. Bryant and Torin Harris "likely will miss spring practice while recuperating from shoulder injuries."
The biggest challenge will be finding enough healthy offensive linemen to run proper drills.
And before anyone gets in a panic over this long list, remember: It's only spring. The season is still almost six months away.

MORAGA, Calif. — Jennifer Hamson's 16 kills weren't enough to pull off a win for the No. 11 Cougars, who drop to 15-1 after a 3-1 (25-15, 25-11, 19-25, 26-24) loss to Saint Mary's Saturday.
Hamson hit .419 against the Gaels (8-7, 3-1 WCC) and had four blocks. Freshman outside hitter Alexa Gray had 12 kills and three blocks, helped out by Heather Hannemann's 43 assists. Tia Withers had 10 digs to lead the team. Warner led in blocks with eight.
UTAH STATE VOLLEYBALL: At Arlington, Texas, a season-high 17 kills from Josselyn White and 11 kills from Shay Sorensen led the way in the Aggies' 3-0 (25-14, 25-22, 27-25) sweep of UT Arlington.
WEBER STATE VOLLEYBALL: At Bozeman, Mont., Rebecca Fuchs had a double-double with 11 kills and 11 digs, but it wasn't quite enough to lift the Wildcats in a 25-23, 25-11, 25-19 loss to Montana State.
SUU VOLLEYBALL: At Portland, Ore., the Thunderbirds (7-10, 3-3 Big Sky) jumped on Portland State early, capturing the first set 25-18, but were unable to maintain its momentum and eventually suffered a four-set loss.
WESTMINSTER VOLLEYBALL: At Salt Lake City, the Griffins (12-6, 5-2 Frontier) defeated Carroll College (Mont.) with a 25-19, 23-25, 25-23, 23-25, 15-9 win.
SLCC, USU-EASTERN VOLLEYBALL: At Taylorsville, the No. 6-ranked Bruins (18-4, 3-1 SWAC) defeated Utah State University-Eastern (10-10, 1-2) in straight sets 25-15, 25-8 and 25-14.
BYU, UVU MEN'S SOCCER: At Provo, after a slow start, the Cougars pulled a resounding win over the Wolverines with a score of 4-1.
Defender Sterling Hancock headed in a pass from James Bindrup, giving the Cougars a 1-0 lead in the 35th minute. Toni Niccoli followed up quickly, scoring in the 36th minute. After two consecutive shots from Doug Clark, Niccoli cleaned up, finding the back of the net off a half-volley with four minutes to go, taking BYU into the half up 3-0.
Colby Bauer took the Cougars up to a 4-0 lead when he plowed past three defenders and scored in the 63rd minute.
Jonathan Luce scored for the Wolverines in the waning minutes of the game.
WESTMINSTER MEN'S SOCCER: At Salina, Kan., the Griffins (6-4-1) fell to No. 18 Kansas Wesleyan (5-2-2) by a score of 3-2.
BYU CROSS COUNTRY: At Springfield, Ore., led by junior co-captain Jared Ward, the No. 3-ranked BYU men's cross country team executed down the stretch to win the Bill Dellinger Invitational.
Oregon's Trevor Dunbar notched the best individual time (23:38), but the Cougars were able to show their depth by scoring five runners within a 20-second frame. When the race finished, BYU had edged the home team 32 to 49 for the victory.
Ward finished second overall and first for the Cougars with a time of 23:40.
UTAH CROSS COUNTRY: At Palo Alto, Calif., making her season debut, senior Amanda Mergaert captured third place to lead the Ute women to their second consecutive fourth-place finish at the Stanford Invitational.
Staying with the leaders throughout the entire race, Mergaert set a four-second personal best performance for the course with a time of 20:23.
UTAH STATE CROSS COUNTRY: At Falcon Heights, Minn., junior Kyle McKenna placed 14th with a time of 25:08.4 in the Merrill Fischbein Men's Gold 8K race at the 27th annual Roy Griak Invitational.
Senior Alex Litzsinger led the USU women, crossing the finish line in 21st-place with a time of 21:56.0 in the Jack Johnson Women's Gold 6K race.

To keep options open, the Muskego-Norway School Board took two steps Monday with regard to the Muskego High School weight room floor that was found late last summer to be in disrepair.
Because one of the options is building a weight room addition, the board will make sure any addition would not close the door on potential long-range plans that might involve expanding the swimming pool or building a field house. The district will hire an architect to explore where such expansions would best be placed. That information should be back to the School Board in about a month.
At this point, the district has no plans to expand the pool or build a field house. A weight room addition is being considered to accommodate future growth.
The other step the board took was to go out for bids to repair the weight room floor. Contractors will give prices for repairing the floor to support classroom use and for reinforcing it enough to support use as a weight room.
As soon as the defects in the floor were discovered, the weight room equipment was moved to smaller temporary quarters where the floor was at grade.

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:
Mary's father, lives with Mary, while their mother moved to another town after
divorce. Bob has many friends, and Mary, a shy pretty girl,
is often the target of their jokes. Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

Joss Whedon once described it as the "Best. Show. Ever. Seriously, I've never gotten more wrapped up in a show I wasn't making, and maybe even more than those ... These guys know what they're doing on a level that intimidates me." And though you might think such praise would be heaped on something like The Sopranos, the best-written show of all time, the beloved writer was actually talking about Veronica Mars.
Starting in 2004, Veronica Mars starred Kristen Bell as the title character, a high school student taking on detective cases from her fellow students while investigating the death of her best friend, under the cautious eye of her private investigator father (Enrico Colantoni), and dealing with everyday life as an American teenager.
Created by Rob Thomas (not the Matchbox Twenty singer), the show ran on The CW, eventually finding itself cancelled in 2007 after a disappointing third season. If the name sounds familiar, it's probably because it was all over the news a couple of months back after raising $5.7 million in a Kickstarter campaign to make a follow-up film written by Thomas soon after the show was cancelled.
My fiancée and I sat through the entire first season of Veronica Mars a couple of weekends ago. Well, she watched the entire season. It was her first Veronica Mars experience. But I managed to catch around half of it. She loved it. So did I. In fact, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed rewatching Veronica Mars.
I think I was mostly impressed by how well the show holds up. Television drama has moved ahead in leaps and bounds since the mid-noughties, yet somehow a high-school drama - from the same network behind incredibly dated shows like 7th Heaven, Roswell and Dawson's Creek - is still as entertaining as it ever was.
A large part of the credit goes to the cast. Kristen Bell is a brilliant lead, bringing a youthful exuberance to the role but managing to capture the more mature aspects of the character; it helped that Bell, and most of the other teens on the show, were aged between 20 and 25 during filming.
Bell had plenty of help though, whether it was Percy Daggs III as Veronica's best friend Wallace, Teddy Dunn as ex-boyfriend Duncan or Francis Capra as Weevil, the leader of a local biker gang - not to mention Amanda Seyfried as Lilly Kane, Veronica's murdered best friend. The Echolls family deserve their own sentence: Jason Dohring's Logan was an antagonist for most of the first season, yet I remember him as one of the best characters on the show, and Harry Hamlin was fantastic as A-list actor dad Aaron. It's been great seeing him on Mad Men this season, too.
Series creator Rob Thomas deserves plenty of credit, too. His knack for producing stories and scripts that were interesting and unique and vastly different from your standard teenage fare, while still capturing the trials of being a teen, has rarely been matched, before or since. No wonder Joss felt intimidated.
The production values of the show also stood out during this re-watch. Checking out Veronica Mars with older eyes, I started to notice how the use of colour and lighting affected the tone of the show and reinforced some of the film noir influences Thomas was clearly trying to go for. It's all very clever.
As to how I feel about the show now, it remains a favourite from the past decade or so. I'm looking forward to re-watching Seasons 2 and 3, even though the third season is a step down from its predecessors. I'm also looking forward to the inevitable feature film. I can't say I'll feel good about a version of Veronica Mars that is detached from the nostalgia that accompanies the show, but it'll still be fun to see these characters together again.
What did you think of Veronica Mars? Were you a fan? And have you watched any episodes recently?

JOAN says she hates the word "foreign" and insists we all belong to the same human family, regardless of where we stay in the world.
The row over whether Scots have been misled by successive UK Governments over the true worth of North Sea Oil has refused to go away with the nationalists today challenging Tory claims that Westminster forecasts were honest.
In 1974 the UK Government commissioned a report into the potential of North Sea Oil and how it might influence support for Scottish independence. The report made clear that an independent Scotland would be far richer than if it remained within the Union.
Without a doubt, the SNP policy of Independence in Europe has set the agenda. In essence, the whole issue boils down to whether Scotland will have a full and equal say in the European policies which will shape our future, or be a province which, at best, will enhance our lobbying ability and, as is likely to be the case, remain as we are, powerless, lacking real influence.
From www
In a major intervention into the independence debate one of Scotland's leading businessmen has posed a series of key questions for the No campaign.
AN independent Scotland would be on course for an instant boom in foreign inward investment like that enjoyed by Eastern Bloc countries following their split from the former Soviet Union, SNP researchers have claimed.
The neo-liberal assault on labour unions over the last 30 years has gone hand in hand with an erosion of workers' rights.
Christopher Crawford's curator insight, August 7, 2013 8:03 PM
About time. Having lived in Scotland for all of my 43 years, the deterioration on rights for workers seems to be inexorable within the UK. Sadly though if Scotland stays within the UK there is no main UK party offering anything of note to rectify the situation. Vote YES in 2014.
The level of debate on Scottish independence has gone through various phases over the years and while the Unionists point to SNP assertions and false claims, successive Labour and Tory governments have consistently lied about a whole variety of issues that have affected Scotland. For many years after World War I, it was impossible to get accurate figures for Scottish was losses, which when they were published, showed exactly why. Scottish regiments suffered higher war losses than those of any other part of the UK - bar none. As a member of the economic committee of the SNP which did much work on the oil situation in the 1970s, under the guidance of Donald Bain, I always followed with interest, the government of the day's figures on oil production and the revenues generated. Gavin McCrone, the government economist published his report during the period of the Wilson government, when Denis Healey was Chancellor. McCrone's report was so damaging to the UK government's case against independence, they kept it a secret for over thirty years. Denis Healey has just admitted they "massaged" the figures; in other words they lied. Healey is now a Lord and as one of the "untouchables" he can now admit he was a liar while in office.
Creating a monetary union between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK requires preventing capital flight
Angus Armstrong explores the practical difficulties of creating a monetary union between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK. Importantly, a common financial infrastructure is required to convince savers and investors that their money will always be safe in an independent Scotland.
Peter A Bell's insight:
Presumably capital flight would be problematic regardless of the direction. So it would be in the interests of the rest of the UK (rUK) to cooperate in implementing measures to deal with the risk.
Yes Scotland today welcomed leading businessman Jim McColl's strong re-emphasis of his support for independence and his belief that a Yes vote is an opportunity to build a fairer and more prosperous country.
Moinul Islam's curator insight, August 20, 2013 9:42 AM
Work From Home. Click http://www.staged.com/video?v=q1Md to view how to earn money from home via Online Earning. After a lot of years finally revealed the secret. Great opportunity and you can work at home Extra income 100% workable.
If you don't like this Government you didn't vote for, then brace yourself for the possible next one. If you think that the Tories governing Scotland with the Liberals is bad, what about the Tories governing Scotland with UKIP?
JIM McColl, one of the country's leading business figures, has warned that a No vote in next year's independence referendum would deal Scotland's prospects a major blow, making it less likely that he and fellow entrepreneurs would want to locate north of the Border.
Peter A Bell's insight:
About time somebody started looking at the implications of a No vote.
See also: What does no really mean?
It's not the first time we've had to raise this subject. But as the rhetoric ramps up from an increasingly nasty and unhappy No camp, we have to ask again – just what is the Labour Party's problem with foreigners?
Below is a short extract from an interview between Margaret Curran and BBC Radio Scotland's Derek Bateman on Good Morning Scotland last week. The whole thing is worth a listen, but this bit jumped ...
Following our visit to the Netherlands and Belgium a couple of days ago, and today's examination of the (non-existent) threat of border controls between an independent Scotland and the rUK, we thought it'd be nice to finish the week with a whistlestop tour of some more of our favourite international borders.
Peter A Bell's insight:
Mockery may be our most powerful weapon against the inane scaremongering of unionist propagandists.

USGBC Opens Building Performance Partnership to Current LEED-Certified Buildings
The U.S. Green Building Council's Building Performance Partnership (BPP) is now open to all current whole-building Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified commercial and residential projects.
Launched last August, this program aims to develop a data collection and analysis methodology that will be shared with LEED building owners and project teams to help them optimize the performance of their buildings, along with helping drive the ongoing development of LEED.
USGBC says the partnership between the organization and LEED project owners will create a comprehensive green building performance database and enable standardization of reporting metrics and analytics to establish new building performance benchmarks.
Participation by current LEED-certified buildings is voluntary. The partnership consists of owners, managers and occupants of buildings of all sizes and types.
The LEED buildings that participate in the partnership will receive annual information on performance, specifically comparing predicted or actual performance at the time of certification with the project's current performance.
The report also will show aggregated data of similar buildings and certification levels, and will act as a case study of a project's strong performance and/or significant improvement.
Currently more than 120 projects are participating in Phase One, which focuses on energy and water. This data-collection effort will be based in Energy Star's Portfolio Manager for LEED-certified commercial projects and Earth Aid for LEED-certified residential projects.
USGBC says no building will be decertified for performance or a performance gap. The information will be used to inform and help projects achieve higher levels of performance.
A study released in October last year by the Center for Neighborhood Technology also found that it was important to continue to collect and analyze energy use data on an ongoing basis in order to understand the impact of changes over time. It also indicated that performance evaluations must take into account changes in building occupancy, use, operations, and maintenance, as well as systems improvements.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Pervasip Corp (OTCQB: PVSP) announced today that it has hired outside marketing firms to contact its subscribers who have installed its free VoX Mobile VoIP App on their Android devices, with the purpose of converting them into paid subscribers.
"With more than 100,000 downloads of our app, we have a significant list of free app users who we can contact and offer our premium product, said Paul Riss, CEO. "We typically have approximately 500 daily downloads from the Google Play and Samsung app stores, and we plan to call these free subscribers and invite them to use our paid-for product. We believe that with a little encouragement, many of these subscribers can be walked through the process of signing up for our premium service, which saves people money on both domestic and international calling."
A free VoX subscriber receives a telephone number and can place calls to other VoX mobile app users, but can only make 60 minutes of calls to phone numbers that are not subscribed to VoX's services. The free subscriber cannot receive calls from non-VoX customers.
Upon buying a paid app, including the "Pay and Go" product, which starts at $1.00 and has no monthly subscription fee, a VoX subscriber can receive phone calls without any inbound calling charges, and make calls to any landline or cell phone in the world. International calling rates are significantly lower than most calling plans, and include the lowest rates among major carriers to destinations such as a cell phone in Mexico, Japan, or Britain.
"We have the name, phone number, email address and time zone of the people who are subscribing for our free app," continued Riss. "We do send them emails and other messages, but these tactics have not produced the conversions that we are seeking. We now have outside professionals who will place a welcome call to our subscribers, educate them about our premium products, and invite them to continuously save money on their mobile phone bill by becoming a paid user."
About VoX Communications:
VoX Communications delivers VoIP and video telephone service anywhere in the world that has a stable broadband connection. It recently entered the mobile VoIP services and applications arena so that its VoIP can utilize any 3G/4G or WiFi connection. VoX differentiates itself through a unique combination of high quality voice services, flexible back-office capabilities and automated provisioning systems that enable a quick turn-up for app users who are looking for a second mobile phone line or low-cost international calling, without using any voice-plan minutes from their mobile phone carrier. It offers a feature-rich, low-cost, high-quality alternative to traditional wireless phone services. For more information, please visit www.voxcorp.net.

New Zealand cartoonists Roger Langridge (Fred the Clown, The Muppet Show), Dylan Horrocks (Hicksville) and Tim Gibson (Moth City) are likely familiar are familiar names to many comics readers, but there are plenty more where they came from. And several of them are showcased in the pages of Faction.
"Faction is a showcase of the best of New Zealand comics," Damon Keen, who edits the biannual anthology with Amie Maxwell, writes in an email to ROBOT 6. "Comic readership here isn't high; most NZers are completely unaware of the huge renaissance comics have gone through of late, or indeed of the local comic scene at all. And internationally, apart from a few bright stars (Tim Gibson, Roger Langridge, Colin Wilson and Dylan Horrocks) NZ comic artist still remain relatively unknown."

The present invention relates to a variable configuration final nozzle assembly which is particularly suitable for use in a combined rocket/ramjet engine.
Rocket/ramjet engine combinations are usually designed for use in missiles so that the engines are disposable. To operate in the two different engine modes, i.e. rocket boost mode for missile take-off and ramjet mode for missile cruise, it is necessary to provide a nozzle of variable configuration to obtain the optimum efficiency from both modes.
Variable area convergent or convergent-divergent nozzles are well known from the field of gas turbine and ramjet engines, but in each case the nozzle may be operated in its different area configurations more than once in the same flight, and many different complex mechanisms have been produced in the past to enable the areas of these nozzles to be varied from one configuration to another and back again at will. These prior variable area nozzles are not therefore suitable for missile applications where minimum cost and simplicity are the main criteria.
Another difficulty with the prior variable area nozzles is that they are operated by a pilots lever, but in a pilotless missile a fully automatic system must be used. This problem has been dealt with in the past in rocket engines and combined rocket/ramjet engines by providing appropriately shaped nozzles for the boost mode and the cruise mode on different parts of the missile, and explosively removing the rocket nozzle when the boost charge is spent to leave the ramjet or cruise rocket nozzle behind with the correct nozzle configuration.
A disadvantage with this system is that if the missile is launched from an aircraft the debris discharged from the missile may damage the aircraft flying behind it.
An object of the present invention is to provide a variable configuration nozzle which can be changed automatically from the rocket boost mode to the ramjet mode without discharging any nozzle parts.
Another object is to provide a variable configuration nozzle which can be changed from a first configuration to a second configuration only, and which is simple in construction and has very few moving parts.
According to the present invention a variable configuration final nozzle assembly for a combined rocket/ramjet engine comprises, a jet pipe, an annular plug disposed centrally within the jet pipe and having inner and outer surfaces over which exhaust gases in the jet pipe flow, and two arrays of nozzle flaps pivoted to the jet pipe at points, one upstream and one downstream of the annular plug, said nozzle-flaps being movable between first and second positions to define nozzle configurations for the rocket boost and ramjet modes of operation of the engine respectively, said nozzle flaps in the first position extending inwardly to contact the annular plug to define convergent and divergent portions of the nozzle and to constrain the exhaust gases to flow through the plug, the radially inner surface of which is shaped to define a fixed throat area for the nozzle in this mode of operation of the engine, said nozzle flaps in the second position lying alongside the jet pipe wall to allow the exhaust gases to flow additionally through an annular nozzle defined between the annular plug and the jet pipe.
The nozzle assembly of the present invention can be built into the missile in its first configuration and locked in that configuration until such time as the second configuration is required, when the means locking the flaps to the annular plug are released and the pressure of the exhaust gas on the flaps pushes them back onto the jet pipe wall. Thus, the only actuating mechanism required is the mechanism to release the locking means.
In a particular, preferred, form of the invention the annular plug is attached to the jet pipe by means of one or more aerofoil struts, the strut or struts and the annular plug being cooled by fuel from the ramjet fuel supply. This has the advantages that the ramjet fuel, or at least a part of it, can be preheated by passage through the hot struts and plug during the rocket boost mode of operation, and that the fuel can be used as the operating medium for the unlocking the flaps of the nozzle when required.
Thus, another preferred feature of the invention is that the annular plug is hollow and contains a piston and cylinder arrangement operated by fuel to move a locking ring attached thereto to release the flaps to allow them to move to the second position.
In an alternative construction, the annular plug may be made from a highly heat resistant material such as carbon, molybdenum or suitably coated ceramic material, and need not be cooled.
The shape of the radially inner and outer surfaces of the annular plug may be different for different engine requirements, but in general the shape of the radially inner surface is dictated by the position of the throat of the boost nozzle where sonic conditions are required, and the angles of the upstream and downstream flaps. The shape of the radially outer surface, however, is dictated by the need to ensure that conditions in the exhaust gas flow around the plug are matched to those of the flow through the plug at the outlet of the plug in the ramjet mode of operation. To this end a throat is defined between the radially outer surface of the plug and the jet pipe wall to produce sonic conditions in the annular nozzle.
The invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectional elevation of the jet pipe and final exhaust nozzle of a missile engine showing the nozzle in the rocket boost configuration;
FIG. 2 is a view as in FIG. 1 showing the nozzle in the ramjet configuration; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the actuating mechanism for the locking ring shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a cylindrical missile engine jet pipe 1 including a variable configuration final exhaust nozzle. The nozzle in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 1 consists of three main portions, a convergent upstream portion 2, a throat portion 3, and a divergent downstream portion 4.
The convergent portion 2 is formed by an array of flaps 10 disposed around the internal surface of the pipe and pivoted thereto at their upstream ends by means of pivots 12. The flaps are trapezoidal in shape and extend inwardly and in a downstream direction from the pivots 12 to contact the throat portion 3.
Similarly, the divergent portion 4 comprises a second array of flaps 14 disposed around the internal surface of the jet pipe and pivoted thereto at their downstream ends by means of pivots 16. The flaps 14 are also trapezoidal in shape and extend inwardly and in an upstream direction from the pivots 16 to contact the throat portion 3.
The throat portion 3 is defined within an annular plug 20 which is supported from the jet pipe 1, by means of three aerofoil shaped struts 22 (only one shown) which are connected to a support ring 24 on the jet pipe. The radially inner surface of the annular plug 20 is shaped to define the throat for the convergent-divergent nozzle formed by the flaps 10, the throat portion 20, and the flaps 14, for the rocket boost mode. The shape of the radially inner surface is in part dictated by the angles required for efficient contraction and expansion of the gas flow through the upstream convergent portion and the downstream divergent portion, respectively, of the nozzle which define the inlet and outlet angles of the throat portion. For example, the included angle of the flow leaving the nozzle throat should not be more than 40�.
Further criteria for the nozzle design are to provide, the optimum area ratios of the outer and inner flows around and through the annular plug in the ramjet mode of operation, and to ensure that the nozzle should be as light as possible and cause the minimum obstruction in the flow.
The annular plug 20 is hollow and is fuel cooled by supply of fuel from the ramjet fuel system which can be conveniently passed through the struts 22 from the hollow ring 24 which forms, or may house, a fuel manifold. This has the advantage that at least a part of the ramjet fuel change is circulating around a circuit including the annular plug as a heater, to warm up the ramjet fuel for starting.
The flaps are held in place in the rocket boost mode of operation by locking rings 26 and 28 respectively on the upstream and downstream ends of the annular plug. The locking rings are each released by the action of a fuel operated piston and cylinder arrangement within the plug body shown in more detail in FIG. 3 and described hereinafter. When the rocket boost mode is finished and the ramjet mode comes into operation the drop in combustion chamber pressure can be sensed to operate a valve allowing fuel into the cylinders for releasing the locking rings 26 and 28.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a cylinder 30 is provided in the annular plug, and two pistons 32,34 are arranged in the cylinder, one connected to each of the rings 26,28. Fuel from the ramjet fuel system is supplied via a fuel line 35, from a manifold 36 to a spool valve 38 having a port 40 for supplying fuel to the cylinder on one side of each piston, a port 42 for returning fuel to the fuel system, and a port 4 for supplying fuel to the other side of piston 34. During the rocket boost mode of operation the spool valve keeps port 40 open and port 44 closed. This can easily be arranged by supplying a pressure from the combustion chamber pressure sensor to one end of the spool. When the boost mode is over and the sensor pressure decays and fuel pressure is arranged to move the spool to close port 40 and open port 44 thus supplying fuel pressure to the other side of piston 34 and moving it along the cylinder to release the flaps 14 from ring 28. When piston 34 reaches the end of its travel it opens a port in the cylinder wall allowing fuel now to pass along a passage 48 to the other side of piston 32 to move it to release the flaps 10 from ring 26. The flaps 14,10 are moved to lie alongside the jet pipe wall by exhaust gas pressure in the nozzle. Filler pieces on the jet pipe wall fill the spaces between the trapezoidal flaps to provide a smooth surface when the flaps are in this position. The above described flap actuation system using ramjet fuel as the power source is just one convenient way in which movement of the flaps can be made fully automatic. Clearly, many other forms of actuation either mechanical or electrical could be employed and would be within the skill of a competent designer.
In the ramjet mode of operation there is thus a second annular nozzle defined between the outer surface of the annular plug 20 and the inner wall of the jet pipe through which the ramjet exhaust flows to the final outlet at the end of the jet pipe. It is important that the flow conditions through the two nozzles defined within and around the annular plug are matched as nearly as possible. A throat 50, therefore, is defined for the annular nozzle by suitably shaping either the outer surface of the annular plug, or the inner wall of the jet pipe, or both, as illustrated in the Figures. In addition, the flow area of the annular nozzle is arranged to be such that at certain key points along the jet pipe the area ratios of the flows through the two nozzles are equal. These points are preferably arranged to be at the planes of the upstream and downstream ends of the annular plug and at the throats of the two nozzles.
Thus, the above described nozzle assembly provides for a variable configuration between the rocket boost and ramjet modes of operation, without the use of complex jack systems, and is fully automatic.
