Abstract: A system for urban air mobility monitors flight separation for compliance with a safe separation distance. A reference formation airspace is established for a reference air taxi based on minimum longitudinal, lateral and vertical parameters. When penetration of the reference formation airspace is detected, a penetration airspace is established. A centroid of the penetration airspace is determined and a target separation to the centroid is supplied to the air taxi to reestablish safe separation. The extent of separation is also safely contained by the presence of virtual air taxis whose positions on the periphery of the penetrated airspace serve to limit potential penetration of surrounding air taxi air spaces.

Abstract: A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interaction between different parameters of an aircraft flight. Specific applications effectively support improved flight safety and greater fuel efficiency. Proxy values of flight metrics are defined and scaled so the axes of the array contain corresponding indicators resulting in a matched array and an embedded, unique alignment vector showing the relationships between different flight variables. The flight alignment system may be used with flight data that contain discontinuities and nonlinear reversions. Wherever values intersect, flight alignment system indicators can depict proximity to the alignment vector, as well as the direction and extent of adjustments to either or both selected flight metrics to achieve and maintain controlled flight.

Abstract: A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interactions between management and a plurality of employees in an organization. Axes contain proxy values of employee and manager expectations scaled to yield a matched array and an alignment vector containing cells representing target alignment between employee and manager expectations. A scatter plot of multiple employee positions portrays the pattern of talent alignment and distribution, representing the talent architecture for the organization. The talent architecture is characterized by multiple static and dynamic metrics that identify normative opportunities to improve organization alignment, and measure organization talent management performance, especially in relation to the reference and general alignment vectors of the array.

Abstract: This disclosure details retention assemblies for connecting panels or other components of automotive vehicles. An exemplary retention assembly may include a polymeric panel and a combined snap assembly and fastener boss that is molded-in the polymeric panel. The retention assembly may be utilized to connect an additional structure, such an another panel, to the polymeric panel for establishing a vehicle assembly. The combined snap assembly and fastener boss packages both snap and fastening features within a common packaging space of the retention assembly, thereby reducing assembly complexities and costs.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interaction of two variables moving in tandem to achieve a target outcome: e.g., a chemical reaction balancing heat and pressure to produce a desired compound, or an aircraft changing speed over angles of attack. Underlying system operating variables are represented in the display as proxy values of X and Y, scaled so the range and interval of X- and Y-axes are the same. The resulting display is a “matched array” of all possible X, Y intersections, including a unique and clearly-delineated “alignment vector” of those cells in which proxy values of X equal proxy values of Y, the jointly-optimal values of the underlying system operating variables. Wherever X and Y intersect, indicators depict the operating variable values, their proximity to optimal on the alignment vector, and the direction and extent of adjustments needed to achieve optimal system performance.

Abstract: A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interaction between airspeed and angle of attack of an aircraft during various stages of flight. Proxy values of airspeed and angle of attack are defined and scaled so the axes of the array contain corresponding indicators resulting in a “matched array” and an embedded, unique “alignment vector” of cells where the underlying airspeed and angle of attack combinations are consistent with controlled flight. Wherever the proxy values intersect, indicators depict proximity to the alignment vector, and the direction and extent of adjustments to either or both airspeed and angle of attack needed to achieve and maintain controlled flight.
