  • Patent number: 10926861
    Abstract: In an example, a puck configured to be embedded in a structure of a rotorcraft creates a cavity in the structure and includes an attachment post for coupling a component to the structure in which the puck is embedded. A puck cover can be configured to cover the cavity in the structure and the puck cover can include a top cover surface to cover the cavity, a center support, and plurality of extensions, where the plurality of extensions coupled with the attachment post.

  • Patent number: 10853716
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated mathematical chatting. The systems and methods convert any identified non-numerical inputs into vectors and then perform the mathematical equation utilizing the vectors instead of the nonnumeric inputs along with any other identified numeric inputs to obtain a numerical vector result. The systems and methods decode the numerical vector result into a result feature and then search one or more databases for output based on the result feature. The systems and methods provide the selected output from the one or more databases in response to the mathematical query.

  • Patent number: 10807733
    Abstract: A storage system is provided in one example embodiment and may include a storage device that may include a plurality of outer walls; and a liner that covers one or more of the outer walls, wherein the liner comprises a woven material that is puncture-resistant. A storage device is provided in another example embodiment and may include a plurality of outer walls, wherein at least one of the outer walls comprises a woven material that is puncture-resistant. A vehicle is provided in another example embodiment and may include a fuel system that includes a fuel cell. The fuel cell may include a plurality of outer walls, and at least one of: a puncture-resistant liner covers one or more of the outer walls; and one or more of the outer walls comprises a woven material that is puncture resistant.

  • Patent number: 9940104
    Abstract: Source code statements are automatically generated from a profile including variable code elements and methods. The profile is built from an existing code base that has identified variable code elements that differ when used in different versions of the source code statements. A developer may define values for the variable code elements which are then used by the methods in the profile to automatically generate corresponding source code statements.

  • Patent number: 9454454
    Abstract: Tools and techniques assist developers with the detection of memory leaks by using correlation of data type memory usage trends. In particular, investigations of memory leaks can be prioritized without always resorting to the use of bulky and performance-degrading memory dumps, by using these tools and techniques to identify leaky correlated data types. Data about a program's memory usage is processed to identify memory usage trends over time for respective data types, and the trends are searched for significant correlations. Correlated trends (and hence their corresponding data types) are grouped. Memory usage analysis information is displayed for grouped data types, such as the names of the most rapidly leaking data types, the names of correlated data types, leak rates, and leak amounts in terms of memory size and/or data object counts. Memory usage data may also be correlated with processing load requests to indicate which requests have associated memory leaks.
