  • Publication number: 20210094701
    Abstract: A method for transmitting data between an electric aircraft and a ground station by a data carrier unit, which involves data to be conveyed from the aircraft being stored in the data carrier unit, a connection being made between the data carrier unit and a computing unit of the ground station, and the data to be conveyed being transmitted via the connection. A fundamental aspect is that the data carrier unit is integrated in a battery system of the aircraft and the connection for transmitting the data is made to the computing unit of the ground station when the battery system is replaced. The invention also relates to a data carrier unit, a battery system and an aircraft.

  • Patent number: 10339709
    Abstract: A system and method may model physical geological structures. Seismic and geologic data may be accepted. A three-dimensional (3D) transformation may be generated between a 3D present day model having points representing present locations of the physical geological structures and a 3D past depositional model having points representing locations where the physical geological structures were originally deposited. An indication may be accepted to locally change the 3D transformation for a subset of sampling points in a first model of the models. The 3D transformation may be locally changed to fit the updated subset of sampling points. A locally altered or updated version of the first model and, e.g., second model, may be displayed where local changes to the first model are defined by the locally changed 3D transformation. The transformation may also be used to extract geobodies in the past depositional model.

  • Publication number: 20050167190
    Abstract: In an active noise cancellation system having exhaust noise and anti-noise initiating at sources positioned perpendicular to each other, a noise management arrangement having a noise cancellation enclosure containing a noise cancellation space. The space is in communication with a noise cancellation port and has an exit port coaxial with the noise cancellation port. An opening receives the exhaust noise from an exterior of the enclosure and communicates the exhaust noise into the space and directs the noise towards the exit port, thereby minimizing the exhaust noise that impinges upon the enclosure.
