Flap side edge noise mechanisms have been addressed in a large number of studies during the last decades. A specific vortex system emanates from the flap side edge due to the static pressure difference between the upper and lower flap surfaces. Such pressure difference leads to a merging between the two vortex systems that are generated on the upper and lower edges of the flap side contour. The present invention intends to show the application of a perforated blade seal (21) at the lower (11) and/or upper (8) side edges of the control surface contour, such as a flap (3), with the purpose of acting as a vortex generator, making difficult for the lower vortex system to move upwards and merge with the upper vortex system. The perforated blade seals (21) are preferably arranged on the inboard and outboard edges of high lift flaps (3).

A sheet-supply device includes a pair of stopper members provided to a bottom plate of a hopper portion so as to move between a protruding position where upper surfaces of the stopper members protrude from a surface of the bottom plate and a retracted position where upper surfaces of the stopper members retract from the surface of the bottom plate, and a position change mechanism moving the stopper members between the protruding and retracted positions. By changing a timing of ascending the stopper members to the protruding position according to a type of the sheets to be fed, an appropriate resistance is applied to all of the sheets in the hopper portion except a topmost sheet during a sheet feed operation, thereby preventing a multi-feed problem. The stopper members moves up and down several times via the position change mechanism at a time between after the sheet feed operation is completed and before a next sheet feed operation starts, thereby positioning the sheets, which may cause the multi-feed problem, at a predetermined sheet holding position.

A birdfeeder which operates with a perch that is controlled by the use of magnetic force that allows certain smaller birds to freely feed while inhibiting larger birds and small animals, such as squirrels, from feeding is provided. The birdfeeder has a plurality of movable pivoted perches which move from a first position to a second position. In the first (horizontal) position, a small bird may sit on the movable perch and reach an opening in a food hopper while the weight of a larger bird or animal will force the movable perch downward into the second (non-horizontal) position wherein the perch is moved away from the opening in the food hopper. A magnet located on an end of the movable perch secures the perch in the first position until the weight of a larger bird or animal causes the movable perch to pivot to the non-horizontal position.
