  • Patent number: 10318656
    Abstract: Systems, computer readable media, and method concern determining operational parameters of an inventory of components to be included in a battery. The components can include storage components and electrical components. The method includes generating a system of equations that describe suitable combinations of components in locations in a battery design layout for the battery, the system of equations being generated based at least partially on rules and constraints, and includes analyzing the system of equations using integer optimization. The integer optimization can optimizes, based at least partially on the operational parameters, one or more objective functions in the system of equations to determine at least one solution for the battery design layout, and the at least one solution can include a set of the components for the locations in the battery design layout for the battery. The method includes providing, via an interface, the at least one solution.

  • Patent number: 9870711
    Abstract: A flight routing system for determining an alternative route for an aircraft based on an airspace partitioned into a plurality of sectors, and an original flight route having an initial point of takeoff and a destination point is disclosed. The flight routing system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations including determining a plurality of points within each of the plurality of sectors. The plurality of points are each located along an edge of one of the plurality of sectors. The processor also performs operations including determining at least one connecting arc for each sector, where the connecting arc connects a first point with another point within each sector. The processor further performs operations for determining a complete time-based airspace network based on at least a forecast capacity.
