  • Patent number: 8612126
    Abstract: A system and method for receiving, from a data source, at least one type of information for a plurality of aircraft, calculating efficiency data based on the received information, distributing the efficiency data to users of the system and storing the calculated efficiency data, the efficiency data including an average separation between arriving aircraft, an arrival rate an airport, an elapsed time from a point of interest to an arrival of the aircraft at an airport, a comparison of an actual base leg initiation to an optimal base leg initiation for an aircraft and a comparison of an estimated time for passing fixed points on an arrival path and the actual time for passing the fixed points.

  • Publication number: 20130052903
    Abstract: An electrodeless plasma lamp and method of forming a seal on an electrodeless bulb for use in the plasma lamp are described. The method may include providing a section of tube, cutting the tube to length, and sealing a first point on one end of the tube in a rounded fashion to form a first end of the electrodeless bulb. The cross-sectional diameter of an opposite end of the tube is reduced to form a tail on the electrodeless bulb. The tail is open to an interior portion of the bulb where the interior portion forms a cavity. One or more fill gases are injected into the cavity of the bulb. A first portion along the tail of the bulb is sealed thereby forming a truncated tail. A second point on the tail, intermediate between a terminal portion of the tail and a portion of the bulb containing the cavity, is sealed. The second point is sealed with a plasma torch by using an inert-gas element with a minimum of hydrogen gas.

  • Patent number: 7778768
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing airport delays using passive radar information and analytics. The system includes (a) a data receiving arrangement receiving, from a data source, at least one type of information for a plurality of aircraft; (b) a data processing arrangement calculating efficiency data based on the received information; and (c) a data distribution arrangement organizing efficiency data into a displayable file and distribute the file to users of the system.
