  • Publication number: 20240184560
    Abstract: A computer hardware system includes a machine learning engine and a hardware processor configured to perform the following executable operations. A stake in a software product is converted into feature development tokens to be stored in the digital wallet. A description of a plurality of proposed product features for the software product and previously-stored within a blockchain are forwarded to a usage user via a usage user portal. A plurality of the feature development tokens are allocated, using the usage user portal, to a selected one of the proposed product features. The digital wallet and the blockchain are updated based upon the allocating. An objective analysis is performed on the plurality of proposed product features using the machine learning engine. The blockchain is updated based upon a delivered one of the plurality of the proposed product features.

  • Publication number: 20240160556
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product is indicated to provide a solution to a user problem. In one embodiment, this comprises receiving a request from a user for a resolution to a user problem and obtaining a solution to a problem like the user problem from a knowledge-based repository and identifying a source associated with the similar problem. Other solutions are obtained from additional sources like the user problem. A final solution is provided to the user problem by incorporating information from the solutions from the repository and other sources. Information is incorporated to provide a complete resolution to the user problem through the final solutions. A search for any related updates is provided to determines when a similar update needs to be incorporated into the final solution in a future date based on information from the related updates.

  • Publication number: 20240103492
    Abstract: A method for data transfer from a legacy system to a modernized application alternative to the legacy system is provided. A Robotic Process Automation (RPA) agent monitors incoming legacy payloads. The RPA agent creates an integration pathway from the legacy system to the modernized application alternative to the legacy system. The RPA agent intercepts the incoming legacy payloads using any of payload injection, cancellation, or workflow interruption by integrating the RPA agent at a User Interface (UI) or an Application Programming Interface (API) level. The RPA agent captures the incoming legacy payloads. The RPA agent executes a determination of heritage, modernized, or mixed origination. The method also includes installing, through the integration pathway under a control of the RPA agent, portions of the legacy system corresponding to the incoming legacy payloads into the modernized application alternative to the legacy system responsive to the determination of heritage, modernized, or mixed origination.

  • Publication number: 20240073365
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to web conference contact routing. An indication of a first participant device of a web conference attempting to contact a second participant device of the web conference can be received, where the second participant device is designated as a screen sharer within the web conference during a time of the contact and where the contact is configured to be received on a display shared in the web conference. Two or more candidate devices for routing the contact from the first participant device to can be identified. A candidate device of the two or more candidate devices for routing the contact from the first participant device to can be selected using a set of selection criteria. Contact from the first participant device can be routed to the selected candidate device instead of the display of the second participant device shared in the web conference.

  • Patent number: 10429844
    Abstract: Various methods can, for example, depict information for use by a pilot or other individual in an aircraft. In an exemplary embodiment, the method may include providing, in a hardware display, a graphical vertical profile displaying an aircraft to the pilot of the aircraft. This method may further include providing, in the vertical profile, an indication of the relative speed of at least one other aircraft and a graphical indication of a clearance window for vertical maneuvers for the aircraft of the pilot. Further embodiments of the present invention concern systems and software for implementing the related method embodiments of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 8504220
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enhance existing ITP (In-Trail Procedure) algorithms by providing additional information to the flight crew. The additional information may enable the flight crew to appropriately modify own aircraft airspeed, and thereby, ground speed, in order to qualify for ITP procedures.

  • Publication number: 20110267206
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method. The method includes receiving data representing a position of a host aircraft, and based on the position of the host aircraft, receiving data extracted from a database representing an elevation of at least one of a terrain and an obstacle surrounding the host aircraft. The method further includes displaying, on a display, information including the position of the host aircraft and the extracted data, and identifying a subset of the displayed information as relevant for situational awareness. Further, the method includes displaying, on the display, an indicia of a maximum elevation within the subset of the displayed information.

  • Publication number: 20110270473
    Abstract: A vertical profile for an in-trail procedure can provide a pilot with enhanced situational awareness. Such a vertical profile may be able to provide a graphical indication of a clearance window for change in altitude procedures, as well as the underlying bases for such a window. A method can include providing, in a hardware display, a graphical vertical profile displaying an aircraft to a pilot of the aircraft. The method can also include providing, in the vertical profile, an indication of the relative speed of at least one other aircraft and a graphical indication of a clearance window for vertical maneuvers for the aircraft of the pilot.

  • Patent number: 7437245
    Abstract: A system for enhancing flight safety of a host aircraft receives an adjustment value from a portable memory device; determines a working value of a parameter in accordance with the adjustment value; and provides an advice for threat avoidance in accordance with the working value of the parameter, a terrain database, and an expected climb gradient capability of the host aircraft. The adjustment value may describe an adjustment to at least one of: an aircraft capability parameter, a flight crew capability parameter, a mission parameter, a threat detection technique parameter, a threat advice parameter, or a threat avoidance parameter. Threats include a risk of colliding with other aircraft, colliding with terrain, and encountering adverse weather conditions.
