Publication number: 20230251443Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber ribbon. The optical fiber ribbon includes a plurality of subunits each having a subunit coating surrounding at least one optical fiber. The subunit coating is made of a first material. The optical fiber ribbon also includes a plurality of bonds intermittently formed between adjacent subunits of the plurality of subunits. The plurality of bonds are made of a second material. Each bond of the plurality of bonds has a unique longitudinal position along a length of the optical fiber ribbon such that no other bond of the plurality of bonds is located at the unique longitudinal position. Further, each bond of the plurality of bonds includes a diffusion zone comprising a mixture of the first material and the second material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Arash Abedijaberi, Ronald Steven Black, David Wesley Chiasson, Darin Gregory Howe, Gregory Alan Mills

Patent number: 11650969Abstract: A tree structure represents a terrain area as nested polygons organized in a parent-child relationship, each polygon associated to a specific geographic location. The tree structure defines at least one parent node and a plurality of child nodes, some being leaf nodes containing a height value. A processor uses a distance measure to change the tree structure topology assessing whether all leaf node children of a first parent node lie outside a predetermined distance from an aircraft runway, and if so, converting the first parent node into a leaf node by storing in the first parent node a height value representing the greatest of the respective height values of the leaf node children and by removing the leaf node children; and iteratively repeating for each remaining parent node until it has been determined that every remaining parent node in the data structure cannot be pruned without violating accuracy requirements.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Gulfstream Aerospace CorporationInventor: Gregory Howe

Patent number: 11299266Abstract: A wing for an aircraft includes, but is not limited to, a wing body having a wingtip, a leading-edge, and a trailing edge. The wingtip comprises an outboard-most portion of the wing body. The leading-edge is disposed along a forward portion of the wing body and is configured to cause a vortex to extend off the trailing edge at a location inboard of the wingtip when the aircraft is flown sub-sonically at a predetermined angle of attack. The trailing edge is disposed along an aft portion of the wing body and has an aft-most region disposed inboard of the wingtip at a position that corresponds with the location where the vortex extends off the trailing edge.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Gulfstream Aerospace CorporationInventors: George Hicks, Donald Howe, Gregory Howe, Joe Gavin

Publication number: 20080262848Abstract: A speech applications server is arranged to provide a user driven service in accordance with an application program in response to user commands for selecting service options. The user is prompted by audio prompts to issue the user commands. The application program comprises a state machine operable to determine a state of the application program from one of a predetermined set of states defining a logical procedure through the user selected service options, transitions between states being determined in accordance with logical conditions to be satisfied in order to change between one state of the set and another state of the set. The logical conditions include whether a user has provided one of a set of possible commands. A prompt selection engine is operable to generate the audio prompts for prompting the commands from the user in accordance with predetermined rules. The prompt selected by the prompt selection engine is determined at run-time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2006Publication date: October 23, 2008Inventors: Eric Shienbrood, David Pelland, Gregory Howe, Robert Adamsky

Publication number: 20060212515Abstract: An applications server is operable to provide a plurality of user driven services by running an application program. The application program is arranged to provide the services in response to user commands for selecting service options. The applications server comprises in accordance with the application program a state machine able to determine a current state of the application program from one of a pre-determined set of states defining a logical procedure through the user selected service options. The states of the state machine includes for each of the modular services, one or more states associated with one or more forms within the service. Each form defines a state of a user interface for providing the services to the user, and each state includes one or more sub-states called situations, defining the commands to be recognised and the predicates to be satisfied to select that state depending upon the estimated user commands and the session state of the user session.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2006Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: Eric Shienbrood, David Pelland, Gregory Howe, Robert Adamsky
