Publication number: 20220081129Abstract: Systems and methods for forecasting aircraft engine operational data are provided. The forecasted data can be used for use with predictive analytics, for example. In one aspect, a method is provided. The method includes receiving engine data associated with an engine. The engine data includes data points for various operational parameters. The method further includes determining forecasted data points for the operational parameters. The forecasted data points for a given one of the operational parameters are determined by applying one or more regression techniques to the data points associated with the given one of the operational parameters. The forecasted data points can be input into various types of models, such as a cumulative damage model. For instance, using the forecasted data points, a cumulative damage model can generate a plurality of forecasts and can output a cumulative probability distribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2020Publication date: March 17, 2022Inventors: Joshua Luke Wiedemann, Craig Miller Kuhne

Publication number: 20210248551Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for advantageously forecasting an inventory of a product having a particular duration (e.g., video content). The technique can include determining the particular configuration (e.g., maximum number of impressions, maximum amount of time permitted) of breaks identified within an impression log. Based on the number of breaks and the configurations of the breaks, the technique can forecast a future inventory of the product. In some implementations, the disclosed technique can identify an amount of a previous break that was not filled with video content. These forecasts can enable product sellers to better communicate with their customers, negotiate supply contracts, price their products, plan for business operations, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: Xandr Inc.Inventors: Craig Miller, Charles Douglas Cosman, Thomas Evenson, Eric Smith, Calvin Legh, Thomas Shields, Aaron Martin
