  • Patent number: 11767116
    Abstract: A seatbelt detection system detects seatbelt use in each seat of a passenger aircraft to produce safety-compliance data. A computer system, which is communicatively coupled to the seatbelt detection system, receives sensor data from a plurality of sensors in an aircraft cabin; and employ an artificial intelligence (AI) program to train on input data comprising at least one of safety compliance data, aircraft system data, cabin environment data, cabin operations data, or aircraft operations data; and the AI program is configured to minimize a summed error of predictions of seatbelt compliance.

  • Patent number: 11666788
    Abstract: A wide-area wildfire suppression system uses a network of geographically distributed water sprayers, and includes at least one wind sensor and a fire-suppression controller communicatively coupled to the water sprayers and the at least one wind sensor. The at least one wind sensor detects wind direction and communicates wind-direction information to the fire-suppression controller, which uses the wind-direction information to activate at least one of the water sprayers upwind of an asset or area to be protected. Parameters of the water spray, such as flow rate, droplet size, spray pattern, spray direction, spray elevation, or aeration, can be adapted based on wind direction or wind speed.
