  • Publication number: 20240094632
    Abstract: Precursor solutions for radiation patternable coatings are formed with an organic solvent and monoalkyl tin trialkoxides in which the water content of the solvent is adjusted to be within 10 percent of a selected value. Generally, the water content of the solvent is adjusted through water addition, although water removal can also be used. In some embodiments, the adjusted water content of the solvent can be from about 250 ppm by weight to about 10,000 ppm by weight. With the appropriate selection of ligands, the adjusted precursor solutions can be stable for at least about 42 days, and in some cases at least 8 months.

  • Patent number: 11816167
    Abstract: An electronic computing system receives a document and identifies steps for processing the document. Each step is associated with a respective machine learning model trained to generate an output. The system subdivides content of the document into a plurality of chunks. For each step and for each chunk, the system applies the respective machine learning model to the chunk to generate an output and a confidence value. The system compares the confidence value to a threshold value. In accordance with a determination that the confidence value exceeds the threshold value, the system stores the output as final output for the chunk and the step. In accordance with a determination that the confidence value does not exceed the threshold value, the system requests user input for the chunk and the step, and the system stores received user input as final output for the chunk and step.

  • Patent number: 11803884
    Abstract: A system is provided for generating compliance manuals from modularized data and taxonomy-based classifications of regulatory obligations. The system comprises a plurality of databases storing regulatory compliance data and a plurality of processors that process the regulatory compliance data to generate business requirements for complying with regulatory obligations and corresponding compliance information related to the business requirements. A taxonomy engine receives business operating parameters related to a first business and identifies a subset of the business requirements and compliance information related to the business operating parameters of the first business. The taxonomy engine further aggregates the business requirements and the compliance information related to the business operation parameters and generates a compliance manual containing the business requirements and the compliance information for use by the first business.

  • Publication number: 20220123957
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for routing data to distributed devices in an aircraft are disclosed. A data routing system includes an aircraft and an equipment communicatively coupled to a control unit. The aircraft includes a control unit, and one or more distributed modules. The control unit is configured to communicate with each of the one or more distributed modules via an engine control bus. The control unit is configured to receive an Ethernet packet from the equipment via an Ethernet connection, translate protocols of the Ethernet packet to protocols for the engine control bus, identify an IP address in the Ethernet packet, and route data of the Ethernet packet to one of the one or more distributed modules over the engine control bus based on the IP address and the translated protocols.

  • Publication number: 20210273947
    Abstract: A server device that includes server elements that receive a modification request to modify a respective access permission level, designated to a client device for a target server element, from a baseline permission level among a permission hierarchy of access permission levels to a different permission level among the permission hierarchy. The server device sends a nonce associated with the modification request to the client device, and receives a signed nonce or nonce signature generated by the client device based on the nonce and a client private key of the client device. In response to determining an authenticity of the signed nonce or nonce signature based on a client public key that is associated with the client private key and trusted by the server device, the server device modifies the respective access permission level designated to the client device for the target server element to the requested permission level.
