Abstract: Ensuring that the correct wheel bearing is installed in the wheel assembly of an aircraft. A plastic mold is designed to hold only one size of wheel bearing. The mold is labeled with the wheel bearing serial number and the corresponding aircraft model number. Because only one size of wheel bearing fits properly in the mold, it facilitates identification and use of the correct size wheel bearing in the aircraft wheel assembly. The mold can be used to ship wheel bearings to air carriers and to store wheel bearings before installation into aircraft wheel assemblies. The mold also offers protection for the wheel bearing from contamination or damage.

Abstract: Thermal printing provides an advantageous route to producing aircraft placards able to withstand the rigorous conditions existing on aircraft exteriors. A graphic is directly printed onto a substrate such as polyester, vinyl or polycarbonate. The placard is protected by a protective layer of a UV curable ink which contains acrylates and silicone. An optional promoter containing a diisocyante can be added to the protective layer. Ultraviolet radiation is used to cure the protective layer. The resulting thermally printed placard performs equally as well as silk screen printed placards while offering economic and environmental advantages.

Abstract: Computer-implemented security for the travel industry. Travel industry systems can supply passenger, employee, and cargo data to a risk assessment engine that services the travel industry. The risk assessment engine collects data from throughout the travel industry and combines it with data from other government and commercial sources. The risk assessment engine uses the collected data to compute a score that quantifies the potential risk posed by a particular person or package. The score can be used by a variety of systems in the travel industry to adjust a level for screening people and packages that enter a secure travel system. A more comprehensive and accurate scoring system allows the travel industry to conduct more intelligent and efficient screening of people and packages that enter the secure travel system.

Abstract: In a system for recognizing revenue for the sale of services, where the amount of revenue recognized is based upon the use of the services and upon events that can occur before the services are used that can potentially affect the amount of revenue recognized for the sale, a master ticket record processor can receive and process information related to an event, which is associated with a sale of services and which occurs at some time after the sale. A business-related processor can perform additional business-related processing of the event information to derive a business result that can supplement the event information. The master ticket record processor can then store both the business result and the event information related to a sale in a storage device.

Abstract: An airline origin-destination revenue management software system supports decisions to accept or deny request for booking on airline seats by comparing the fare for the request with a minimum acceptable fare predetermined by the system. In order to determine the minimum acceptable fare, the system typically solves an optimization problem that takes as input the airline's flight network schedule, fares and forecasted passenger demands for all products available for booking on the airline's flight network, and available capacity on each of the airline's scheduled flights.

Abstract: A secure barless cover for cargo container portal/opening consisting of flexible, durable, lightweight, weatherproof fabric sized to correspond with the opening, permanently secured across the top edge of opening and incorporating a single, continuous loop cable in conjunction with simple hooks and a single point cable tensioning assembly to secure the cover to the top, bottom and side edges of the container opening. The cover is fitted with grommets and cable pockets along the bottom and sides to allow the cable to weave through the cover from front to back. Continuous looping of the cable is created via use of a cable clamp that enables length adjustment and is secured in place after the cable has been woven through the cover grommets and pockets, hooks and tensioning assembly. Cable exposure to the cover's front is minimal, to allow hooks to hang in easily accessible, strategic positions for attachment to the container opening bottom and sides when securing the cover to the container.
