Abstract: A computer based system for remapping prime class seat bookings is disclosed. The system remaps prime class bookings a floor class, or if the floor class is closed, into a higher, displacement class. Via remapping, airline systems, such as inventory management systems, revenue management systems, and the like, may better account for the true value of prime class bookings.

Abstract: A method of training a neural network to approximate a forecasting error of a passenger-demand forecasting model that includes calculating, using the forecasting model, a historical passenger demand forecast for each key level in a set of key levels and for each departure date in a set of historical departures dates; applying a dropout model to the historical passenger demand forecasts to create a training sample; training, using the historical passenger demand forecasts and the training sample, the neural network, to approximate forecasting errors associated with the forecasting model; calculating, using the forecasting model, a future passenger demand forecast for each key level in the set of key levels and for each departure date in a set of future dates; and approximating, using the trained neural network, the forecasting error associated with the future passenger demand forecasts for the second set of departure dates.

Abstract: A misconnect management system models the movement of passengers, bags, and crew through flights and airports. In various embodiments, a misconnect management system identifies potential misconnected passengers and provides recommendations and input configured to support decision makers, such as ramp controllers and operations controller, in evaluating hold/no hold decisions for a flight. Via use of the misconnect management system and associated methods, misconnected passenger numbers may be reduced, expenses associated with missed connections may be reduced, and organizational efficiency may be improved.

Abstract: A method of verifying that a user is authorized to access a secured area via an entry point includes receiving at a first computer and from a user device associated with the user, check-in request information that includes: a membership number associated with the user and a travel event; and a lounge location. The method also includes generating a time stamp for the receipt of the check-in request; verifying that the membership number is a valid membership number; and verifying that the time stamp is within a predetermined window of time. The method also includes sending, in response to the verification, instructions from the first computer to a second computer positioned near the entry point to display a window that includes user information associated with the user.

Abstract: A method of displaying an electronic report on a GUI that includes receiving a user identifier and an authentication identifier associated with a user gaining access to a first application; displaying, on the GUI, a first window associated with the first application; displaying, via the first window, a listing of monitored flights; receiving, via the first window, a request; accessing, using the first application, a second application and a third application that are different from each other and the first application; updating the displayed listing of monitored flights using information accessed from the second and third applications; wherein a flight has a delay greater than two hours; and receiving, via the first window, a request for the electronic report for the flight; displaying, on the GUI and via a second window, the electronic report for the flight that includes information from each of the second and third applications.

Abstract: Passenger information messages (“PIMs”) are generated using table-driven segment systems and methods. Message segments may be paired with token names. Passenger information associated with an airline flight are substituted for the token names. The passenger information and message segments are arranged to generate a PIM for the airline flight.

Abstract: A method of monitoring and reporting aircraft turnaround activities at an airport gate that includes monitoring the airport gate using a first camera that has a first field of view associated with the airport gate; generating, using the first camera, first image data capturing a first activity within the first field of view; receiving, by processor(s), the first image data; identifying, by the processor(s), the first activity captured in the first image data; comparing, using a computer application, aspect(s) of the first activity with a predetermined schedule; and displaying, on a graphical user interface remote from the first camera and using the computer application, an alert indicating that the first activity does not comply with the predetermined schedule; wherein the processor(s) include a machine learning processor.

Abstract: A computer-based system for unobscuring and/or unconstraining demand is disclosed. Via use of the system, actual airline seat bookings may be restated in an unobscured and/or unconstrained form, facilitating improved demand forecasts for subsequent seat bookings. In this manner, seat protects may be better allocated to align with actual demand, thus increasing revenue.

Abstract: A system that includes a depth perception camera to estimate or otherwise measure the dimensions of a proposed carry-on item to determine whether the proposed carry-on item complies with limitations associated with a user. The system is configured to enable checking the proposed carry-on item and receiving payment for the checked item when the item exceeds the limitations associated with the user. Displayed to the user are dimension lines associated with the maximum dimensions of the limitations and/or the captured dimensions of the proposed carry-on item.

Abstract: A method that includes: receiving, by a processor(s), a user identifier and an authentication identifier that are associated with a user of a computer gaining direct access to information within a first application; displaying, on a GUI of the computer, a first window associated with the first application; displaying, on the GUI and simultaneously with the first window, a second window associated with a second application to initiate a chat session; after displaying the first and second windows, receiving by the processor(s), a user input associated with an information request; identifying, using the processor(s) and the second application, contextual inputs associated with the session and/or the user; accessing, using the processor(s) and the second application, a third application; identifying, using the processor(s) and the second application, information relevant to the information request within the third application; and displaying a response to the first information request in the second window.

Abstract: A tool for torquing a regulator onto a cylinder of a portable cylinder assembly. The tool includes a nut and a socket. The nut is configured to fit around a body of a regulator of a portable cylinder assembly. As such, the nut has a first set of grooves that avoids one or more valve assemblies on the body of the regulator. The socket has a cavity extending therethrough such that the cavity consists of three sections: a top section, a middle section and a bottom section. The top section of the socket is configured to be coupled to a device that applies a torque force on the socket. The middle section of the socket is configured to avoid a case of the regulator which is disposed above the body of the regulator. The bottom section of the socket is configured to be coupled to the nut.

Abstract: The system determines even-spaced quantiles for network optimization. The system may utilize authorization level to expected network conversion. The system may be used in connection with yield management systems, inventory control systems, or revenue management systems.

Abstract: A system according to which a network of physical sensors are configured to detect and track the performance of aircraft engines. The physical sensors are placed in specific locations to detect an exhaust gas temperature, vibration, speed, oil pressure, and fuel flow for each aircraft engine. The performance of each aircraft engine is then viewed in combination with oil consumption associated with that aircraft engine and the routine maintenance program associated with that aircraft engine to route the aircraft and move the aircraft, in accordance with the routing, to a specific location. The sensors efficiently track the performance and physical condition of the engines. Moreover, a listing of identified “at-risk” engines is displayed on a screen of a GUI in a manner that allows for easy navigation and display. Data point(s) that triggered the identification of each “at-risk” engine are easily accessible and viewable.
