Patent number: 11971728Abstract: A hierarchical modular arbitration architecture for a mobile platform guidance system is disclosed. In embodiments, the architecture comprises a hierarchy of arbitration layers, each arbitration layer narrower in scope than the layer above (e.g., mission objective arbitrators, route arbitrators, path arbitrators). Each arbitration layer includes one or more objective-based arbitrators in communication with one or more applications or modes. Each arbitrator receives control input (e.g., from the pilot, from aircraft sensors) and control signals from the level above, selecting a mode to make active based on decision agents within the arbitrator layer which control mode priorities and sequencing (e.g., some flight objectives may involve multiple arbitrators and their subject applications coordinating in sequence).Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Rockwell Collins, Inc.Inventors: David L Lempia, Jack Jordan, Bryan M. Krawiec, John D. Anderson, Amy Lindaman, Christopher M. Boggs

Publication number: 20140174684Abstract: Expandable microspheres formed by suspension polymerization using a shot growth method are provided. The microspheres are formed of a continuous, gas impermeable shell surrounding a blowing agent. The shell includes a first polymer layer formed from primary monomers and a second layer that includes a chemically reactive monomer or a high Tg monomer. To form the microspheres, the primary monomers are polymerized in a reaction vessel to an approximate 90% polymerization, at which time a secondary monomer that is either a monomer having a Tg of at least 85° C. or a chemically reactive monomer, is added to the reaction vessel to drive the polymerization reaction to completion. The outer layer thus contains either a larger amount of the high Tg monomer or a chemically reactive monomer that possesses the ability to covalently bond a cationic species. The microspheres may be used in papermaking processes to increase the paper bulk.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2014Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANYInventors: YAOLIANG HONG, KOSARAJU KRISHNA MOHAN, VICTORIA LAURENTIA DIMONIE, MARK FAGAN, ANDREW KLEIN, ERIC SCOTT DANIELS, BRIAN BOYARS, PETER M.
