Abstract: A method for verifying a target attribute of a company profile record for a procurement application. It is ascertained that a database stores the company profile record including the target attribute and a validity attribute associated with the target attribute. The validity attribute has a VALID or INVALID value respectively indicating that the target attribute in the company profile record has a valid or invalid value within the database. It is insured that the database stores a first and second user profile record, that a first user of a requisition transaction corresponds to the first user profile record, that the first user profile record includes the target attribute having a value identical to a value of the target attribute of a first company profile record associated with a first company represented by the first user, and that the validity attribute of the first company profile record has the VALID value.

Abstract: A system and method for dividing a flight path into flight segments, wherein the flight path comprises a route between an aircraft takeoff and a runway landing; receiving a historic transit time and real-time transit time of a target aircraft class, for each flight segment of a current flight; determining a differential time for each flight segment by comparing the real-time transit time and the historic transit time; applying the differential time to each flight segment to adjust an estimated transit time for each flight segment; determining an estimated ON time for the aircraft by adding together all of the estimated transit times from each flight segment of the flight path; and determining an estimated IN time for the aircraft based on the estimated ON time and an estimated ON to TN time. The system includes a calculation engine for performing the steps of the calculation.

Abstract: A wirelessly controlled LED lighting system comprising: an LED lighting device further comprised of an LED circuit board with one or more light-emitting diode (LED) chips and an antenna attached to said LED circuit board; an LED drive current source; a wireless radio controller attached to said LED Drive current source; associated packaging, heat-sink and optics; embedded software; and a wireless internet gateway system further comprised of a gateway system device, a control device and application software.

Abstract: A volatile organic compound purge system is provided for a motor vehicle. The purge system includes a blower and a computing device. The computing device is configured to operate in a shipping mode whereby the blower is periodically operated to draw fresh air into and purge volatile organic compounds from an interior of the motor vehicle as the motor vehicle is being shipped from a first point to a second point.

Abstract: Apparatus for use with a camera module having an imager and adapted for mounting on the inside surface of a vehicle window. The apparatus comprising structures sized and positioned to block reflections that might otherwise impinge on the imager from below the module, while still permitting the flow of air onto the window surface within the imager's field of view.

Abstract: A fabric is provided having a defined pattern of hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions that extend entirely through the thickness of the fabric so that the defined pattern is identical on the inner and outer surfaces of the fabric. The defined pattern is configured so that the hydrophilic regions are all in communication or interconnected so that moisture, such as perspiration, can wick not only from the inner to the outer surface of the fabric but also throughout the surface of the fabric and in several directions on the fabric so that the surface area of the wetted hydrophilic regions increases. The defined pattern may be further configured so that none of the hydrophobic regions are in communication.

Abstract: Maintaining a three dimensional stereoscopic effect may include determining a distance between a position of a virtual camera and a first center of interest of a three dimensional image, calculating a scaling factor based on the distance, and compensating for a parallax setting associated with a second center of interest within the three dimensional image by applying the scaling factor when generating the three dimensional image to maintain the three dimensional effect.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for allocating departure slots at an airport. One embodiment of the disclosure of this application is related to a method including calculating an estimated takeoff time (“ETT”) based on airport data and flight plan data, allocating a departure slot time for the at least one flight based on the ETT, and populating the allocated departure slot time in an allocation grid. Another embodiment of the disclosure of this application is related to a system comprising a user interface displaying information related to flight plan data and airport data received from an airport network, and a departure allocation module calculating an estimated takeoff time (“ETT”) for the first flight based on the airport data and the flight plan data, allocating a departure slot time for the flight, and populating the departure slot time in an allocation grid via the user interface.

Abstract: A boom, most commonly used in conjunction with a cement truck to deliver cement a great distance from the cement truck to the work site, is adapted to be used with a truck mounted vacuum extraction system. In this instance, the boom is used in a completely backwards fashion. Instead of being connected to a pump, which pumps material to a work site, the boom is connected to the vacuum extraction vacuum blower in order to bring debris at the excavation site to the debris tank of the vacuum extraction system. The boom is able to reach up, over, under, or around barriers that stand in the way. In addition, the boom can also reach through or go under existing structures to reach the excavation site.
