  • Publication number: 20250250941
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine defines an axial direction and a radial direction and comprises a turbomachine having an unducted primary fan, a core engine a combustor casing enclosing a combustor and defining an outer surface, a core cowl surrounding at least a portion of the core engine. The outer surface of the core cowl defines a peak cowl diameter (D) in the radial direction, and the outer surface of the combustor casing defines a maximum combustor casing diameter (d) along the radial direction. The core engine defines an overall core axial length (L) along the axial direction and an under-core cowl axial length (L1) along the axial direction. The gas turbine engine defines a core cowl diameter ratio (CDR) equal to the peak cowl diameter (D) divided by the maximum combustor casing diameter (d) and a core cowl length ratio (CLR) equal to the under-core cowl axial length (L1) divided by the overall core axial length (L). The CDR is between 2.7 and 3.5 and the CLR is between 0.25 and 0.50.

  • Patent number: 12382259
    Abstract: A system and method for the real-time management of a device, and more particularly to the establishment and enforcement of policies or rules associated with the feature or functions that may be performed with the device, such as making and receiving calls, exchanging data, playing games and music, sending and receiving email, accessing web sites, and paying for goods and services. If a child or employee is using the device, there may be a need to regulate how that device can be used and to determine who will pay for what goods or services. In addition to providing all of the features associated with a device, service providers need to be able to establish and enforce rules (policies) regulating how and when that device can be used and who will pay for a good or service requested by the user of the device.

  • Patent number: 12372510
    Abstract: An improved system and apparatus for testing thermal fluids in which the condition of a heat transfer fluid is measured. The system includes a sample vessel with a sample inlet for receiving a sample of heat transfer fluid from the heat transfer system and a sample outlet for returning the sample of heat transfer fluid to the heat transfer system, a heat transfer fluid condition monitor in fluid contact with the sample vessel measures one or more physical parameters of the heat transfer fluid and a control system which controls operation of the condition monitor and the sample vessel and which analyses the measured physical parameters of the heat transfer fluid. The system provides for predictive maintenance which is significantly more cost effective than preventative maintenance. It also ensures, as far as possible, that preventative maintenance can also be carried out while the system is running in normal production mode.

  • Patent number: 12373477
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of responding to a query in a developer tool using semantically related keywords in relevant code chunks. A user-generated query regarding a location of an element in a codebase of a software development project is received. The codebase is parsed into code chunks. Semantically related keywords, including keywords from the user-generated query and other keywords that are semantically related to the keywords, are identified. Relevant code chunks are selected from the code chunks based on satisfaction of a relevancy criterion regarding the user-generated query. Execution of an instruction is triggered, which causes a visual representation of a response to the user-generated query to be generated. The execution of the instruction causes the visual representation to include at least portions of the relevant code chunks and further causes at least a subset of the semantically related keywords to be highlighted in the portions.

  • Publication number: 20250237032
    Abstract: Aspects of a method for stabilizing geotechnical environments involves the use of a substantially planar geogrid featuring primary and secondary nodes, non-continuous ribs terminating at secondary nodes, continuous ribs intersecting at primary nodes, and a compressible cellular layer. The method includes trapping varied aggregate within confinement elements formed by the nodes and ribs, and compressing the aggregate against the compressible cellular layer. This compression embeds the aggregate into the cellular layer, effectively locking it in place and enhancing the stability of the geotechnical environment. The design of the geogrid and the interaction between the aggregate and the compressible layer provide improved load distribution and resistance to environmental stresses and trafficking.

  • Publication number: 20250231046
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides computer-implemented methods, systems, and devices for estimating the likelihood that a map feature still exists. A computing device accesses a plurality of data records representing instances in which the map feature is observed. The computing device determines a frequency at which the map feature is observed based on the plurality of data records representing instances in which the map feature is observed. The computing device determines an elapsed time between a most recent instance in which the map feature was observed and a current time. The computing device estimates a likelihood that the map feature currently exists in the real world based, at least in part, on the frequency and the elapsed time. The computing device determines that the likelihood that the map feature currently exists is below a predetermined likelihood threshold. The computing device alters geographic map data to remove the map feature.

  • Publication number: 20250230620
    Abstract: An expanded multilayer integral geogrid includes a plurality of oriented strands interconnected by partially oriented junctions having an array of openings therein that is produced from a coextruded or laminated multilayer polymer starting sheet. The integral geogrid has a multilayer construction, with at least one inner layer thereof having a structure that is expanded relative to at least one other layer of the multiple layers. By virtue of the expanded inner layer structure, the expanded multilayer integral geogrid provides for increased layer compressibility under load, resulting in enhanced material properties that provide performance benefits to use of the expanded multilayer integral geogrid in soil geosynthetic reinforcement, and economic benefits compared to a like integral geogrid without an expanded inner layer structure.

  • Patent number: 12360788
    Abstract: Techniques for expanding capabilities of a computing shell, which exposes services provided by an OS and which is separated from a kernel of the OS, by enabling a command line interface (CLI) of the shell to have context aware capabilities. An event in which a command is entered in the CLI is detected. The CLI displays a command decoration that is selectable and that, when selected, triggers display of a menu comprising a command suggestion. The command suggestion is generated based on a context associated with the command. In response to selection of the command decoration, the menu is displayed. This menu includes the command suggestion. In response to selection of the command suggestion, the computing shell automatically executes the command suggestion.
