Patent number: 11429631Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to obtain a sequence of transformer rules. The transformer rules specify a set of data elements arranged according to a first structured data format, and structural changes to be performed on the data elements that convert the data elements into a second structured data format. The processor receives a block of data from a file arranged according to the first structured data format. The processor executes the sequence of transformer rules to perform the structural changes to the block of data. When executing the particular transformer rule, the processor applies an adapter associated with the transformer rule to modify values in the block of data specified by the particular transformer. The processor then provides for display or storage the block of data as converted into the second structured data format by the sequence of transformer rules.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventors: Khosrow Jian Motamedi, Fernando Ros, Douglas Andrew Bell

Publication number: 20220212783Abstract: A multimode clutch assembly is positioned in a powertrain of a rotorcraft. The clutch assembly includes a freewheeling unit having a driving mode in which torque applied to the input race is transferred to the output race and an overrunning mode in which torque applied to the output race is not transferred to the input race. A bypass assembly has an engaged position that couples the input and output races of the freewheeling unit. An actuator assembly shifts the bypass assembly between engaged and disengaged positions. An engagement status sensor is configured to determine the engagement status of the bypass assembly. In the disengaged position, the overrunning mode of the freewheeling unit is enabled such that the clutch assembly is configured for unidirectional torque transfer. In the engaged position, the overrunning mode of the freewheeling unit is disabled such that the clutch assembly is configured for bidirectional torque transfer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Applicant: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: Douglas Andrew Goodwin, David Andrew Prater, Eric Stephen Olson, David Bryan Roberts, Chia-Wei Su, Michael David Trantham, Charles Eric Covington

Publication number: 20210097547Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, a user-recognition device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The user-recognition device may then display a first graphical element indicating a target location for placing the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. Additionally, the user-recognition device may determine locations of the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. The user-recognition device may then display a second graphical element indicating the locations, such as when the locations are not proximate to the target location. Additionally, the user-recognition device may display instructions for moving the portion of the user to the target location. Based on detecting that the location of the portion of the user is proximate to the target location, the user-recognition device may send data representing the portion of the user to a remote system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2019Publication date: April 1, 2021Inventors: Nichole Stockman, Korwin Jon Smith, Douglas Andrew Hungarter, Joshua Adam Cowan, Jared Corso, Rajeev Ranjan, Prithviraj Banerjee, Matthew Christopher Smith
