  • Patent number: 10970989
    Abstract: A proximity alert device may include a processor, non-volatile memory, a user input device, a radio transceiver, and primary memory that stores program instructions. When executed by the processor, the program instructions may perform a method that includes loading a configuration value from the non-volatile memory and setting a transmission power level of the radio transceiver to a configuration power level; pairing with a protected device that has a corresponding radio transceiver; receiving input from the user input device to adjust the transmission power level up or down; in response to receiving the input, and based upon that input, adjusting the transmission power level up or down, and saving to the non-volatile memory the adjusted transmission power level as a calibrated power level; detecting a loss of connection with the paired protected device; and, in response to detecting the loss of connection, triggering an alarm.

  • Patent number: 10943194
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for obtaining product related information. Information related to a product obtained from a plurality of different sources is transformed into processed product data with a plurality of levels. Callouts and contexts are identified in the processed product data. A product-to-chemical continuum is generated by creating callout-context pathway segments between the plurality of levels of the processed product data based on the callouts and contexts identified. A query request for product information is transformed into a set of context search parameters, which is used to traverse the product-to-chemical continuum through the callout-context pathway segments that span the plurality of levels. The product information that matches the set of context search parameters is extracted from the product-to-chemical continuum. The callout-context pathway segments reduce processing resources and time needed to obtain the product information.

  • Publication number: 20200342772
    Abstract: An aircraft navigational system for a multiengine aircraft can include a flight planning module configured to receive two or more navigational points defining a route and determine if a first degraded operation ceiling is high enough to travel along the route based on obstacle data defining relative location of one or more obstacles and one or more obstacle clearance standards. The module can be configured to receive a status and/or performance limitation of an electric motor system of the aircraft. The module can be configured to determine if the electric motor system is or will be able to provide temporary additional power to produce a second degraded operation ceiling for at least a required time based on the status and/or performance limitation of the electric motor system if the first degraded operation ceiling is not high enough to permit travel along the route.

  • Patent number: 10594049
    Abstract: A connector includes a cable tray configured to receive and retain a cable in a stable position and couple with a top cap configured to create an electrical connection with the cable as the top cap is manipulated in a predetermined manner while coupled with the cable tray. An upper surface of the cable tray is configured to receive the cable (e.g., while the cable is generally parallel with the longitudinal axis of the cable tray). The cable tray also includes a finger extending beyond the first end for some distance longitudinally. The finger includes a protrusion that protrudes to some extent in a transverse direction so that a cable-accommodating gap is defined between the protrusion and the first end. The protrusion is configured to bear against the cable and retain the cable in the stable position when the cable is inserted between the protrusion and the first end (before, during and/or after an electrical connection is established).
