  • Publication number: 20180200627
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for generating, transmitting, and sharing playable digital games and advertisements (e.g., “posts”) are disclosed herein. According to particular embodiments, the disclosed system facilitates the creation of playable digital games and advertisements by transforming digital media and gameplay instructions into a platform-agnostic format operable to be transmitted through one or more advertising networks or media platforms and playable on computing devices receiving the digital game or advertisement. The platform-agnostic format of the post allows for it to be transmitted through virtually any digital media or advertisement platform and appropriately displayed/played at any receiving computing device/platform.

  • Patent number: 9910561
    Abstract: A method for highly efficient and parallel data transfer and display with event alerting includes employing an aggregation server to receive and filter multiple Internet data feeds, including an event list, streaming each Internet data feed to an input device as a streamed data segment, displaying each data segment in an interactive stacked ticker display on the remote computing device, determining a location of the input device, displaying an event alert in the interactive stacked ticker display if the input device location comes within a threshold distance of an event location, and enabling a user to purchase tickets to the event corresponding to the event alert.

  • Patent number: 9625832
    Abstract: A planar motor system comprises a platen with a first planar motor component and a stage with a second planar motor component. The stage can move along a first cardinal axis or a second cardinal axis. The planar motor system further comprises a drive system. When the drive system is energized in a first drive configuration, it applies a first force and a second force. The first force and the second force are not parallel to any cardinal axis. A vector sum of the first force and the second force is parallel to the first cardinal axis. When the drive system is energized in a second drive configuration, it applies a third force and a fourth force. The third force and the fourth force are not parallel to any cardinal axis. A vector sum of the third force and the fourth force is parallel to the second cardinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20060249626
    Abstract: A single piece co-cured composite wing is disclosed. The wing has a flying surface and structural members. In one embodiment the structural members may be a plurality of spars. The spars may have various shapes to increase the buckling strength. The spars may be wave shaped, such as a sinusoidal shape. The flying surface and the structural members are co-cured in order to form a single piece, integral wing structure. A process for manufacturing a single piece co-cured wing is also disclosed. The process may include laying out composite sheets for the flying surface of the wing. Then, the composite material of the spars is arranged around a plurality of pressurizable forms. Finally, the composite material is cured in a clamshell frame. A single piece co-cured composite structure is also disclosed that includes an outer skin, and inner skin, a frame, and a stringer.

  • Publication number: 20050211843
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite structure is disclosed herein. The process uses a frame and selectively pressurizable forms. The forms define the interior members of the composite structure and frames define the exterior surface of the composite structure. Composite material is wrapped around the forms and the forms and composite material are placed in the frame. Selective forms are then pressurized and the composite material is co-cured together. A single piece co-cured fuselage incorporating a plurality of stiffeners is also disclosed in the application. The stiffeners are co-cured to the fuselage and may be in various patterns. The patterns may include an iso-grid pattern, and ortho-grid pattern, and a hoop-grid pattern.

  • Patent number: 5526500
    Abstract: Pipeline structure that is arranged to allow 1.5 cycle access time for both data and instruction cache without imposing additional instruction step delays than that imposed by data and instruction cache that have 1 cycle access time. Half cycle pulses are produced to allow execution of various instructions in 0.5 cycles. A bypass signal is generated to allow data from a current load instruction to be available for a second subsequent instruction even though the access time for data cache is 1.5 cycles. Additionally, a branch address is available for a third subsequent instruction even though instruction cache access time is 1.5 cycles. The present invention shows the initiation of an instruction step for each cycle and 1.5 cycle access time for cache memory. The present invention can also be implemented by implementing an instruction every 2 cycles and providing 3 cycle access time for cache memory.
