Abstract: An approach for identifying slot exchanges for flights among a schedule of an aircraft operator includes acquiring existing slot assignments and flight schedules for flights operated by any airline that participate in a slot exchange program for a particular controlled airspace. Cost values are assigned to slots of the aircraft operator based on various criteria, such as any difference between flight times of particular flights and corresponding assigned slots. An optimization is performed to identify any alternate authority issued slots that, if assigned to flights of the aircraft operator, result in reduced cost values. Slot exchange requests are issued for the alternate authority issued slots in a manner that facilitates acceptance of the request without user intervention, by either the send or receiving airline. Flight schedules and assigned slots may be represented on a common display.

Abstract: This disclosure describes various modules that can provide ultra-precise and stable packaging for an optoelectronic device such as a light emitter or light detector. The modules include vertical alignment features that can be machined, as needed, during fabrication of the modules, to establish a precise distance between the optoelectronic device and an optical element or optical assembly disposed over the optoelectronic device.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a monolithic spectrometer (1) for spectrally resolving light (R). The spectrometer (1) comprises a body (2) of solid material having optical surfaces (3, 4, 5, 6, 8) arranged to guide the light (R) along an optical path (E1, E2, E3, E4) inside the body (2). A collimating surface (4) and focusing surface (6) are part of a single surface having a continuous optically functional shape. The surfaces (3,4,5,6,8) of the body (2) are arranged to have a third or fourth part (E3, E4) of the optical path between a grating surface (5) and an exit surface (8) cross (C) with a first part (E1) of the optical path between an entry surface (3) and a collimating surface (4).

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a measuring probe (10) for non-invasive in vivo measurement of blood analytes (33) by Raman spectroscopy. The measuring probe (10) comprises a housing (20) having a skin engaging surface (21). The housing (20) comprises a first optical system (1, 3, 4) arranged for providing source light (11) to the skin engaging surface (21) for penetrating a subject's skin (31) by said source light (11) for interacting with the blood analytes (33). The housing (20) further comprises a second optical system (5, 6, 2) arranged for capturing scattered Raman light (12) from the blood analytes (33) for measurement of the blood analytes (33). The first optical system (1, 3, 4) is arranged for providing the source light (11) as a collimated beam (1c) onto the skin (31).

Abstract: A physiological parameter measurement and motion tracking system including a control system, a sensing system, and a stimulation system is disclosed. The sensing system includes one or more physiological sensors including at least brain electrical activity sensors. The stimulation system includes one or more stimulation devices including at least a visual stimulation system. The control system includes an acquisition module configured to receive sensor signals from the sensing system, and a control module configured to process the signals from the acquisition module and control the generation of stimulation signals to one or more devices of the stimulation system. The control system further includes a clock module and the control system is configured to receive content code signals from the stimulation system and to time stamp the content code signals and the sensor signals with a clock signal from the clock module.

Abstract: A pouch includes a seamless body having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, with a substantially flat, planar base at the first end. First and second opposing walls extend upwardly from the planar base to form an elongate mouth at the second end. Each of the opposing walls includes an upper wall portion and a lower wall portion. The upper wall portions extend to the elongate mouth and the lower wall portions extend to the planar base. The first and second opposing walls have a varying thickness. An elongate closure mechanism, adjacent to the elongate mouth, provides a resealable closure for the pouch. The seamless body stands independently in an upright position upon the planar base when the body is in an expanded position. The pouch, being both flexible and collapsible, can be folded into a substantially flat condition.
