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.

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 and method for providing relevant and timely information associated with a travel itinerary, such as an airline travel itinerary. In an exemplary embodiment, one of a plurality of home screens is displayed on a portable user device when an application is opened on the portable user device.

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: In a computerized remapping system for airline seat bookings, actual airline seat bookings are restated in a remapped form reflecting the value of each leg of the booking from a network perspective, facilitating improved demand forecasts for subsequent seat bookings. In this manner, seat protects and seat pricing may be better allocated to align with actual demand.

Abstract: A crew planning system includes a demand forecasting module and an optimization module. The system forecasts anticipated reserve demand levels, and determines suitable reserve staffing approaches to meet anticipated reserve demand. The forecasting is based upon probabilistic distribution models which take into account variability associated with reserve demand for a particular day. Via use of the crew planning system, reserve staffing expenses may be reduced and/or reserve demand may be met with a higher degree of probability.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for determining a real-time probability iteratively throughout a period of time. The system conducts an upgrade analysis by determining that an expected marginal seat revenue for a sale of an additional coach seat is greater than an expected marginal seat revenue for a sale of an additional first class seat.
