Abstract: A method is provided comprising: obtaining a counterparty contract, the counterparty contract including a contract that is being proposed by a counterparty to a user; performing a segmentation of the counterparty contract to identify a plurality of sentence clusters, each of the sentence clusters corresponding to a different provision in the counterparty contract; generating a plurality of counterparty provision vectors based on the counterparty contract, each of the counterparty provision vectors being generated based on a different one of the plurality of sentence clusters; retrieving a user provision vector, the user provision vector corresponding to a user provision; calculating a plurality of similarity scores for the user provision vector; detecting whether the plurality of similarity scores satisfies a condition that is associated with the user provision; and outputting a notification associated with the user provision when the condition is satisfied.

Abstract: An autonomous energy system for an aircraft with a high voltage network, a main power source, an energy storage, a bidirectional DC-DC converter, and a power control management system connected to: the high voltage network to measure its voltage variations, and to the energy storage and to the DC-DC converter forming an energy buffer module providing/receiving a fixed voltage setpoint to the high voltage network; and being configured so that, when the power control management system detects that the voltage variation (?Vr_network, ?Vd_network) of the high voltage network is higher than preset voltage discharge/charge activation thresholds during a time higher than preset time discharge/charge activation values, the power control management system provides/receives power from the energy buffer module to the high voltage network until a preconfigured condition is met.

Abstract: An articulated mechanism is included in an articulated pointing system. The articulated mechanism includes first, second, and third spherical joints, and a first, second, and third lever. The first and second spherical joints are linked by the first lever. The first lever includes a first projecting portion. The first and third spherical joints are linked by the second lever, the second lever including a second projecting portion projecting in an opposite direction of the first projecting portion. The second and third spherical joints are linked by the third lever, such that the longitudinal axes of the first lever and of the second lever are perpendicular. The articulated pointing system includes a basement platform and a mobile platform joined by two articulated hinges. The hinges are moved by actuators. The articulated mechanism has the first lever attached to the mobile platform and the second lever attached to the basement platform.

Abstract: An automated ply layup system uses a robot and an end effector for selecting plies from a kit and placing the plies at predetermined locations on a tool by further employing cameras for ply location detection, a laser scanner for detection and ply placement within a location on the tool, and compact sensors for compacting plies onto the tool.

Abstract: A preferred utility cart includes an elongated base and push handles on either end. The elongated base is supported at its center by a carriage having a pair of wheels. It is supported at each of its ends by a carriage having a pair of casters. Preferred methods of constructing the carriages are described.
