  • Publication number: 20180100438
    Abstract: Systems and methods for starting an engine on an aircraft are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to an integrated starter for starting an engine on an aircraft. The integrated starter includes an air turbine starter. The integrated starter includes a starter air valve integrated with the air turbine starter. The integrated starter includes a controller configured to control the starter air valve. The starter air valve can be movable between a first position and at least a second position to regulate the flow of fluid into the air turbine starter. An output torque of the air turbine starter can be dependent at least in part on the flow of fluid into the air turbine starter.

  • Patent number: 9767132
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, and methods for identifying and visualizing duplicative records via a social network. In various implementations, a first data object may be created and stored in a first database system, where the first data object includes a plurality of data fields capable of storing a plurality of data values. In some implementations, a trigger function may be executed in response to creating the first data object, where the trigger function causes one or more servers in a second database system to determine if one or more existing data objects stored in the second database system include one or more data values that match data values included in the first data object. In various implementations, feed items may be generated in response to determining that a match exists, where the feed items provide one or more users with an indication of the determined match.

  • Patent number: 9542428
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, and methods for identifying and processing duplicative records in one or more database systems. In various implementations, a first data object may be created and stored in a first database system, where the first data object includes a plurality of data fields capable of storing a plurality of data values. A trigger function may be executed in response to creating the first data object, where the trigger function causes one or more servers to determine if one or more existing data objects stored in the second database system match the first data object, and where the trigger function further causes one or more servers in the first database system to retrieve one or more data values from the one or more existing data objects. The retrieved one or more data values may be stored in one or more data fields of the first data object.

  • Publication number: 20160378756
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for performing actions in response to information updates provided in an information feed. In one implementation, an information update is selected for comparison with a data record creation rule. The data record creation rule may specify a data record creation operation for creating a data record based the selected information update. The selected information update may be capable of being displayed in an information feed. A determination may be made as to whether the selected information update includes information satisfying a trigger condition associated with the data record creation rule. When the information in the selected information update satisfies the trigger condition, the data record creation operation may be performed to create the data record. The data record creation operation may identify information to include in the data record.

  • Publication number: 20150026600
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for performing actions in response to information updates provided in an information feed such as a news feed capable of being displayed on a display device. In one implementation, an information update to be displayed in the information feed is received. The information update may be stored in a feed table for inclusion in the information feed. In some implementations, an indication of activation of a response request rule is received. The response request rule may be configured to create a response request related to an identified information update to request information from one or more recipients. The response request may be stored, accessed and presented in association with the identified information update in an information feed.

  • Patent number: 8368887
    Abstract: A rotation detection kit, comprising: a beam source; a receiver comprising at least one beam intensity sensor; a polarizer device for location in the path of a beam emitted from the beam source and received by the beam sensor; and a modulator. The modulator is configured to modulate at least one of i) the beam source and ii) a beam emitted by the beam source to create a discretely varying polarization orientation thereby defining first and at least second temporally spaced beam portions. The temporally spaced beam portions are incident on the polarizer device and the beam sensor and have substantially identical profiles and at least an initial common propagation axis toward the polarizer device.

  • Patent number: 8345240
    Abstract: A rotation detection kit, comprising a source for generating at least a first polarized beam emitted along a propagation axis, a receiver comprising at least a first beam intensity sensor and an analyzer. The analyzer comprises a first polarizer device for location in the at least first polarized beam between the source and at least first beam intensity sensor. The first polarizer device is configured such that the receiver can measure rotation between the source and the analyzer about a first axis that is non-parallel to the propagation axis based on the at least first beam intensity sensor's output.

  • Publication number: 20120086544
    Abstract: Various embodiments described or referenced herein are directed to different devices, methods, systems, and computer program products for following data records in an information feed in an on-demand service environment. The modification of a first parameter value associated with a first parameter may be determined. The parameter may be one of a plurality of parameters associated with a data record. A rule including information indicating the first parameter, a first parameter test value, a first comparison operation, and one or more data records to which the first rule applies may be identified. The first comparison operation may be performed, including comparing the modified first parameter value with the first parameter test value. When the modified first parameter value conforms to the first parameter test value, the modified first parameter value may be provided in a first information feed associated with the first data record for display on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20070129987
    Abstract: A method for identifying forms required for a business transaction and providing a packet containing the required forms to a requestor is provided. The method includes storing a set of rules in a first memory region accessible by a server, and storing for each of a plurality of tasks at least one address corresponding to at least one form associated with the task in a second memory region accessible by the server. A computer displays a user interface that prompts the requestor to provide answers to a sequence of questions. The sequence of questions is determined according to the set of rules, and at least one subsequent question of the sequence of questions is based on an answer to a previous question of the sequence of questions. The server determines a task being handled by the requester, based on the answers to the sequence of questions, and identifies a set of forms necessary for the determined task based on information stored in the second memory region.

  • Patent number: 6442591
    Abstract: A method and system for automatic electronic mail address maintenance in a data processing system coupled to an electronic mail distribution system. An electronic mail processing application is utilized to process electronic mail transferred to or received from the electronic mail distribution system. Each time an electronic mail item is processed within the electronic mail processing application, electronic mail addresses are automatically retrieved and stored within the data processing system. Group or alias address are resolved by automatically accessing the electronic mail distribution system to obtain the appropriate electronic mail address. The retrieved electronic mail addresses may then be displayed by a user together with or separate from an existing address list. These automatically retrieved electronic mail addresses may then be viewed alphabetically, in data sequence or by frequency of transmission or receipt to or from designated electronic mail addresses.
