Patent number: 11934872Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring and controlling program flow in an event-triggered system. A program (e.g., application, algorithm, routine, etc.) may be organized into operational units (e.g., nodes executed by one or more processors), each of which tasked with executing one or more respective events (e.g., tasks) within the larger program. At least some of the events of the larger program may be successively executed in a flow, one after another, using triggers sent directly from one node to the next. In addition, the system of the present disclosure may include a manager that may exchange communications with the nodes to monitor or assess a status of the system (e.g., determine when a node has completed an event) or to control or trigger a node to initiate an event.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Peter Alexander Boonstoppel, Michael Cox, Daniel Perrin

Patent number: 11820483Abstract: Described herein are aircraft, comprising rear spar integration assemblies, and methods of manufacturing these aircraft. Specifically, an aircraft comprises a keel beam and a center wing box, comprising a rear spar. The rear spar is attached to the keel beam using a rear spar integration assembly. The assembly comprises a rear spar stiffener, attached to the rear spar, and having a stiffener load axis. The assembly also comprises and a keel beam fitting, attached to the keel beam, and having a fitting load axis. The rear spar stiffener is also attached to the keel beam fitting, e.g., using splice plates. More specifically, the fitting load axis is offset relative to the stiffener load axis along the primary axis of the aircraft. This offset is designed to compensate for a bending moment at the keel beam-rear spar interface, which allows reducing the size and/or the number of fasteners needed.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Daniel Cox, Danilo Vukosav, Evgeniy M. Potupchik, Francisco Del Valle, Ryan Matthew Slater, Timothy Robert Portway

Patent number: 11358699Abstract: Embodiments for aircraft pressure deck. One embodiment is a pressure deck of an aircraft. The pressure deck includes beams extending longitudinally along a fuselage of the aircraft, and a web attached to an underside of the beams, the web including arches between adjacent beams to allow the pressure deck to flex laterally. The pressure deck also includes a box structure between a middle pair of the beams and configured to transfer load forward to a rear spar of a wing of the aircraft and aft to an aft wheel well bulkhead of the aircraft. The pressure deck further includes a first intercostal outboard from the box structure and configured to stabilize a first outboard pair of the beams, and a second intercostal outboard from the first intercostal and coupled between a second outboard pair of the beams via a swing link to allow the second intercostal to flex laterally.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David H.

Patent number: 10938084Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to remedy thermal issues associated with antenna systems. These techniques include implementing heat pipes coupled between an external mast having antenna circuitry mounted thereon and an internal heatsink inside an environmentally-controlled location. This configuration thermally regulates heat associated with active antennas mounted to the mast, which is externally mounted onto the roof of a vehicle. The heat pipes carry heat from the mast down through the roof to the internal heatsink. The aspects described herein allow for car manufacturers to integrate mmWave technology into their vehicles while avoiding large and unsightly cooling mechanisms that would otherwise adversely impact aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Shallu Bhalla, Daniel Cox, Bhagyashree S.
