Patent number: 11919617Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for splicing airframe components. One embodiment is a method for assembling an airframe of an aircraft. The method includes forming a first skin of a first circumferential section of fuselage, the first skin including a distal portion comprising a lip and a shoulder, aligning a second skin of a second circumferential section of fuselage with the shoulder such that the lip overlaps the second skin, and affixing the first skin and the second skin together via a circumferential splice.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Patrick J. Macko, Byron James Autry, James R. Kendall, Samuel James Knutson, Brian T. Peters, Michael J. Bailey, Matthew S. Stauffer, Steven Wanthal, Santiago M. Mejia, Sara Murphy

Patent number: 7412707Abstract: A system for processing a batch which is distributed into a plurality of independent segments. A preferred embodiment of this invention calls for implementation on a symmetrical multiprocessing platform, however, the invention is also applicable to massively parallel architectures as well as uniprocessor environments. Each segment comprises a plurality of discrete events, each discrete event comprising a plurality of sub-events to be processed. The system operates to process each discrete event within each segment sequentially and each sub-event within each discrete event sequentially. The plurality of segments may be processed on an uniprocessor, an SMP system or an MPP system. By balancing the number of discrete events in each segment using a “coarse grain” approach, a flexible but efficient use of processor availability is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2003Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Inventors: Michael S. Peters, Clayton Walter Holt, David J. Arnold, Jr.

Patent number: 6417526Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor device having a rectifying junction (5) which is situated between two (semiconductor) regions (1, 2) of an opposite conductivity type. The second region (2), which includes silicon, is thicker and has a smaller doping concentration than the first region (1) which includes a sub-region comprising a mixed crystal of silicon and germanium. The two regions (1, 2) are each provided with a connection conductor (3, 4). Such a device can very suitably be used as a switching element, in particular as a switching element for a high voltage and/or high power. In the known device, the silicon-germanium mixed crystal is relaxed, leading to the formation of misfit dislocations. These serve to reduce the service life of the minority charge carriers, thus enabling the device to be switched very rapidly.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1999Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Adam R. Brown, Godefridus A. M. Hurkx, Michael S. Peter, Hendrik G. A. Huizing, Wiebe B. De Boer
