Abstract: An autothrottle for an aircraft that includes a power-control input (PCL) manually movable by a pilot along a travel path to effect a throttle setting that controls engine power of the aircraft. The autothrottle determines a control-target setting for a throttle of the aircraft and dynamically adjusts the throttle according to the control-target setting, including moving the PCL to achieve the control-target setting. A virtual detent is set and dynamically adjusted at positions along a travel path of the PCL corresponding to the control-target setting. The virtual detent is operative, at least when the autothrottle is in a disengaged state for autothrottle control, to indicate the control-target setting to the pilot via a haptic effect that applies a detent force opposing motion of the PCL in response to the PCL achieving the position of the virtual detent.

Abstract: Prospective fault adaptation for project management includes generating a project in a project management system according to a timeline of different overlapping tasks and interdependent, a cost to completion and a count of human resources required to complete the tasks at or below the cost to completion. An indication of a prospective fault condition is received in connection with a task in the project. The prospective fault is then quantified and an adjustment computed to the timeline, cost to completion, count of human resources or scope. The adjustment is compared to a threshold value indicative of an acceptable project outcome. Finally, a visualization of the project is generated in the project management system including the flag and an alert representative of the comparison.
