  • Patent number: 11597519
    Abstract: A passenger assistant system includes an artificial intelligence processing unit, a sensor interface, a flight crew interface, a passenger interface, and at least one end effector. The sensor interface couples the artificial intelligence processing unit with at least one sensor configured to provide environmental information regarding a cabin of an aircraft. The flight crew interface couples the artificial intelligence processing unit with at least one flight crew input. The passenger interface couples the artificial intelligence processing unit with at least one passenger input. The at least one end effector is coupled to the artificial intelligence processing unit. The artificial intelligence processing unit is configured to direct the at least one end effector to perform at least one task responsive to information acquired from one or more of the sensor interface, flight crew interface, or passenger interface.

  • Publication number: 20170203203
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a connecting game comprising a plurality tiles or bricks. The game is based on the aspects of building construction wherein the bricks have either a complimentary key or slot configuration. A successful connection is made and points scored when the key of one brick is connected to a slot of a second brick or vice versa. The game may be played horizontally at a beginner's level and for the more advanced player, in three-dimensional space not limited to merely stacking bricks flat but in numerous three dimensional connections and orientations. Each brick is played with the goal of making the most key to slot connections in a single move.

  • Publication number: 20130292905
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a game comprising a plurality of domino—like tiles or bricks. The game is based on the aspects of building construction wherein the bricks have at least one bit and the at least one bit having either a complimentary key or slot configuration. A successful connection is made and points scored when the key of one brick is connected to a slot of a second brick or vice versa. The game may be played horizontally at a beginner's level and for the more advanced player, in three-dimensional space. Each brick is played with the goal of accumulating the highest amount of points possible by making the most key to slot connections in a single move.
