  • Patent number: 11913799
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for load balancing for map application route selection and output. A user may utilize a device application to map or route between two or more endpoints, such as geo-locations entered or detected by the device. During calculation of a travel route between the endpoints, real-time data, user preferences, and requesting entities may provide criteria data that may cause determination of a particular travel route, where the travel route may be longer than a most efficient route but within a pre-defined variable time or distance allotment and match the criteria data. Use of the route may accrue a form of compensation for the user. The user may view an application interface displaying the route, which may further include one or more executable processes to cause recalculation of the route. Recalculation of the route may require the user to provide credits or compensation.

  • Publication number: 20050150999
    Abstract: The invention relates to an actuator system for a projectile having a first and second pair of opposing steering fins disposed in a transverse plane of the projectile. The first pair of opposing steering fins includes a first fin and second fin. The second pair of opposing steering fins includes a third fin and a fourth fin. The actuator system comprises a first motor assembly configured to control the position of the first pair of opposing steering fins, and a second motor assembly configured to control the position of the second pair of opposing steering fins. The first motor assembly and second motor assembly are mounted axially along an axis of the projectile such that a first portion of the first motor assembly is telescopically received within a second portion of the second motor assembly.
