Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for recovering flight plan data for a bypassed segment of a flight plan aircraft. The method comprises loading an initial flight plan onto a Flight Management System (FMS) that is located on board the aircraft. The active flight plan includes multiple waypoints located along the active flight plan. A modified flight plan is created and executed that bypasses at least one of the waypoints located along the initial flight plan. The bypassed flight data is stored in the memory of the FMS. A restored flight plan is created later by retrieving the bypassed flight data from the FMS memory and loaded onto the FMS. The restored flight plan is then executed by the FMS.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for defining and rendering a trajectory of an aircraft include a processing system that causes a three dimensional trajectory depiction to be rendered on a display device. The trajectory depiction includes at least one trajectory element indicator that corresponds to at least one trajectory element of a flight plan. The processing system also receives one or more user interface commands that indicate selection by a user of a selected trajectory element indicator and user-initiated movement of the selected trajectory element indicator from a first display position to a second display position. The processing system determines one or more modified characteristics of a trajectory element corresponding to the selected trajectory element indicator in response to the user-initiated movement, and causes a modified trajectory depiction to be rendered. The modified trajectory depiction includes the selected trajectory element indicator rendered at the second display position.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the preparation of detergent builder Zeolite-A from Kimberlite tailing generated as solid waste during diamond mining is disclosed. The process comprises, reacting an acid treated Kimberlite tailing with alkali solution to obtain sodium silicate and reacting it with alkaline aluminum source at room temperature and crystallizing at higher temperature to obtain Zeolite-A. The product is useful as builder in detergent formulation.

Abstract: A new process is described for the preparation of free flowing hydrated amorphous silica from kimberlite tailing—a waste in diamond mining. The process comprises treating of kimberlite with acid, further reacting it with alkali solution to obtain soluble metal silicate solution, which is subsequently neutralized with mineral acid to polymerize silica as insoluble precipitates. The products is useful in rubber, paints as abrasive etc.
