연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

What is claimed is: 1. A conduit for transferring a flowable material, comprising: a wall member at least partially enclosing an inner region, the inner region being adapted to receive the flowable material and to facilitate transfer of the flowable material from a first location to a second location; and a plurality of reflective members being at least one of formed within an outer layer of the wall member and disposed on an outer surface of the wall member, the reflective members being disposed in at least one substantially continuous annular band about the wall member and adapted to at least partially reflect light incident thereon, wherein the wall member includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first concentration of reflective members and the second portion having a second concentration of reflective members, wherein the second portion of the wall member is adapted to be inserted into a receiving receptacle of an aerial refueling system, and wherein the second portion includes the substantially continuous annular band disposed about the wall member at a location corresponding to at least one of a maximum and a minimum insertion length of the second portion into the receiving receptacle for proper operation of the aerial refueling system. 2. An apparatus for transferring a flowable material, comprising: a tank adapted to contain a flowable material; a conduit operatively coupled to the tank and adapted to receive the flowable material and to facilitate transfer of the flowable material between the tank and a second location, the conduit including a wall member; and a plurality of reflective members being at least one of formed within an outer layer of the wall member and disposed on an outer surface of the wall member, the reflective members being disposed in at least one substantially continuous annular band about the wall member and adapted to at least partially reflect light incident thereon, wherein the wall member includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first concentration of reflective members and the second portion having a second concentration of reflective members, wherein the apparatus includes an aerial refueling system, wherein the second portion of the wall member is adapted to be inserted into a receiving receptacle of the aerial refueling system, and wherein the second portion includes the substantially continuous annular band disposed about the wall member at a location corresponding to at least one of a maximum and a minimum insertion length of the second portion into the receiving receptacle for proper operation of the aerial refueling system. 3. An aircraft, comprising: a fuselage; a propulsion system operatively coupled to the fuselage; and an aerial refueling system coupled to the fuselage and including; a tank adapted to contain a flowable material; a conduit operatively coupled to the tank and being adapted to receive the flowable material and to facilitate transfer of the flowable material between the tank and a second location, the conduit including a wall member; and a plurality of reflective members being at least one of formed within an outer layer of the wall member and disposed on an outer surface of the wall member, the reflective members being disposed in at least one substantially continuous annular band about the wall member and adapted to at least partially reflect light incident thereon, wherein the wall member includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first concentration of reflective members and the second portion having a second concentration of reflective members, wherein the second portion of the wall member is adapted to be inserted into a receiving receptacle of the aerial refueling system, and wherein the second portion includes the substantially continuous annular band disposed about the wall member at a location corresponding to at least one of a maximum and a minimum insertion length of the second portion into the receiving receptacle for proper operation of the aerial refueling system. 4. A method of transferring a flowable material, comprising: providing a conduit operatively coupled to a tank containing the flowable material, the conduit being adapted to receive the flowable material and to facilitate transfer of the flowable material between the tank and a second location, the conduit including a wall member having a plurality of reflective members being at least one of formed within an outer layer of the wall member and disposed on an outer surface of the wall member, the reflective members being disposed in at least one substantially continuous annular band about the conduit; illuminating the at least some reflective members with an incident light; reflecting the incident light using the at least some reflective members; and transferring the flowable material through the conduit from the tank to the second location, wherein providing a conduit including a wall member having a plurality of reflective members includes providing a conduit including a wall member having a plurality of reflective glass beads, wherein providing a conduit including a wall member having a plurality of reflective members includes providing a conduit including a wall member having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first concentration of reflective members and the second portion having a second concentration of reflective members, wherein the second portion of the wall member is adapted to be inserted into a receiving receptacle of an aerial refueling system, and wherein the second portion includes the substantially continuous annular band disposed about the wall member at a location corresponding to a minimum insertion length of the second portion into the receiving receptacle for proper operation of the aerial refueling system. 5. The conduit of claim 1, wherein the reflective members include reflective glass beads. 6. The conduit of claim 1, wherein the first concentration of reflective members is greater than the second concentration of reflective members. 7. The conduit of claim 1, wherein the wall member includes a cylindrical wall member. 8. The conduit of claim 1, wherein the wall member includes a flexible aerial refueling hose. 9. The conduit of claim 1, wherein the wall member includes a refueling boom. 10. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the reflective members include reflective glass beads. 11. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first concentration of reflective members is greater than the second concentration of reflective members. 12. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the conduit includes a cylindrical wall member. 13. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the conduit includes a flexible aerial refueling hose. 14. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the conduit includes a refueling boom. 15. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a pump operatively coupled to the tank and to the conduit and adapted to pump the flowable material from the tank to the conduit. 16. The aircraft of claim 3, wherein the reflective members include reflective glass beads. 17. The aircraft of claim 3, wherein the first concentration of reflective members is greater than the second concentration of reflective members. 18. The aircraft of claim 3, wherein the conduit includes a cylindrical wall member. 19. The aircraft of claim 3, wherein the conduit includes a flexible aerial refueling hose. 20. The aircraft of claim 3, wherein the conduit includes a refueling boom. 21. The aircraft of claim 3, further comprising a pump operatively coupled to the tank and to the conduit and adapted to pump the flowable material from the tank to the conduit. 22. The method of claim 4, wherein providing a conduit operatively coupled to a tank includes providing a conduit operatively coupled to a refueling tank of a tanker aircraft. 23. The method of claim 4, wherein transferring the flowable material through the conduit from the tank to the second location includes transferring the flowable material through the conduit from the tank to a receiving aircraft. 24. The method of claim 4, wherein transferring the flowable material through the conduit from the tank to the second location includes pumping the flowable material from the tank.
