An engine system that produces all required thrust for an aerospace vehicle from takeoff through space operation utilizing a turbo ram rocket exhaust nozzle and M-Spike rocket consisting of airbreathing and non-airbreathing propulsion apparatuses. The airbreathing system consists of a turbine engine, a ramjet or scramjet, and the non-airbreathing system is a rocket motor. The turbine engine consists of a turbojet or turbofan configuration. The air breathing turbine, ramjet or scramjet feature an air inlet mechanism, and combustion fuel. The non-airbreathing rocket system includes separate oxidizer system, and either a separate or same source of combustion fuel as the turbine. Airflow velocities in the turbine bypass duct, and burner system, include subsonic and supersonic velocities for ramjet or scramjet operation. The rocket engine utilize either cryogenic or a non-cryogenic fuel and oxidizer system.

A control system (80-1, 80-2) is provided for a grain dryer (10) having a path (22, 24) along which grain is conveyed from an entry opening (28) between first (12, 14) and second (18, 20) walls provided with second openings through which drying air can flow. A source (16) on the side of the first wall opposite the grain provides a flow of air through the first wall, through the grain and through the second wall to dry the grain. The grain dryer (10) further comprises metering rolls (30, 32) between the walls (12, 18, 14, 20) adjacent the end opposite the entry opening (28) to control the movement of the grain along the path (22, 24). The control system includes a first moisture probe (80-1) positioned remote from the metering rolls (30, 32), a second moisture probe (80-2) positioned adjacent the metering rolls (30, 32), and a microcomputer (150). The first (80-1) and second (80-2) moisture probes and the metering rolls (30, 32) are coupled to the microcomputer (150) for control of the metering rolls (30, 32) based upon the outputs of the moisture probes (80-1, 80-2).

A motorcycle helmet, snowmobile helmet, or other apparel worn by riding a vehicle is coupled with a brake light assembly. The brake light assembly includes a receiver circuit for receiving an encoded radio frequency (RF) signal from a transmitter located on the vehicle. The receiver circuit turns on the brake light for a predetermined amount of time after the brake signal is received. The transmitter is turned off for a second predetermined amount of time after the encoded signal is transmitted. The second predetermined amount of time is less than the first predetermined amount of time. The second predetermined amount of time is advantageously a pseudo random of time. The radio-controlled brake light system advantageously increases noise immunity and spurious illumination of the brake light in response to signals from other riders or operators.
