  • Patent number: 8199156
    Abstract: Collaborative environments in a geographic information system (GIS) are disclosed. Collaboration between multiple processors can be provided within the GIS. A first processor can stream a scenario describing geo-spatial analysis of the image conducted by the first processor. The scenario can include a set of parameters executed by the first processor for review by a user of a second processor. The user of the second processor can transmit a response back to the first processor. The response can include an addition to the scenario, an edit to the scenario, a comment, or acceptance of the scenario. The server can stream the scenario, and/or the images as well as the response between the first and second processors. The image can include three dimensional data and streaming of data can occur across networks such as the Internet.

  • Patent number: 7535473
    Abstract: Collaborative environments in a geographic information system (GIS). Collaboration between multiple processors can be provided within the GIS. A first processor can stream to a server session list entry describing an edit conducted on an image by the first processor. The first processor can also stream a scenario describing geo-spatial analysis of the image conducted by the first processor. The first processor can also stream images along with an animated window. The server can stream the session list entry, the scenario, and/or the images along with animated window to a second processor. The image can include three dimensional data and streaming of data can occur across networks such as the Internet.

  • Patent number: 5662376
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a force dissipation seat pedestal that is particularly useful in aircraft seat design. The seat includes two rear supports having multi-strip legs, two front supports having unibody legs, and two gussets located proximal the front legs. One end of each leg is pivotally secured to the pedestal. An other end of each leg is pivotally secured to the floor of the aircraft via a hinged floor mount assembly. The front and rear supports and gussets are designed to maintain their shape during normal operation of the aircraft, but to deform during an emergency landing to reduce the forces transmitted to an occupant of the aircraft seat.

  • Patent number: 5482351
    Abstract: A seat including a first portion; a support member borne by the first portion; and a second portion borne by the support member and disposed in space relation thereto, and wherein the seat is borne by the second portion, and wherein the first portion is positioned in force transmitting relation relative to the support member, and wherein force applied to the seat is transmitted through the first portion to the support member thereby causing the support member to deform and thus dissipate some of the force acting upon the seat.

  • Patent number: 4588226
    Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for an aircraft chair in which the chair can be easily and automatically locked in its adjusted or upright position, and unlocked for horizontal swiveling movement. Rotatable cam means are oriented in a locking position such that the chair seat is locked against the base. When the cam means is rotated the brakes are unlocked thereby permitting horizontal or swiveling movement of the chair seat relative to the base.
