This optical velocimeter may be installed in an aircraft to measure the true airspeed and the angles of attack and of sideslip of the aircraft. Alternatively, the velocimeter may be mounted in a wind tunnel to measure the velocity of the airstream passing through the wind tunnel. In either case, the points of reference for measurement are the large number of aerosol particles that are entrained in the air and are assumed to have the same velocity as the oxygen and nitrogen molecules of the air i...

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for facilitating printing to a local printing device. In one arrangement, the system and method pertain to directly communicating with the local printing device, and obtaining identification information regarding the printing device including a network address of the printing device as a result of the communication with the local printing device so that a print path can be established with the printing device via a network.

Various systems, methods, and programs embodied in a computer readable medium for printing using a dynamic print path are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises the steps of rendering a document in a computer system into a print ready file without a specification of a destination printer upon which the document is to be printed, specifying the destination printer to which the print ready file is to be transmitted to print the document, and, transmitting the print ready ...

A method and apparatus measure the accuracy of and optically calibrate a scan mirror. Both the method and apparatus may operate over a wide range of environmental conditions. The environmental conditions may include variations in pressure from a vacuum to several atmospheres. Similarly, large variations in temperature may be accommodated. The apparatus includes a laser source, a plurality of facet mirrors and a detector. The laser source projects a beam onto a reflective surface of a rotatable s...

This invention provides a composition containing a sized liposome comprising a lipid and an induce; the sized liposome has a diameter of at most about 1 micoron and the induces is present in an amount effective to induce interdigitation-fusion of the sized liposome. Also provided herein are interdigitation-fusion liposomes and gels, and methods of making the same.
