Patent number: 10063588Abstract: The invention proposes a new device and method that allows scanning and downloading the content of a portable storage device (i.e., USB drive) from any computer with a portable storage device plug and a browser without the risk of having the computer infected by virus or malware resident in the portable storage device. The device can be manufactured in a small and portable device.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Enrique Juan Casado Magaña, David Esteban-Campillo, David Scarlatti

Patent number: 9766630Abstract: Determining a descent trajectory described by an Aircraft Intent Description Language (AIDL) is disclosed. An example method includes accessing historical flight data for a recorded flight trajectory, the recorded flight trajectory having been performed by a first aircraft type of multiple aircraft types and for a first airline of multiple airlines; estimating, using a processor, an aircraft intent parameter and an initial condition of the recorded flight trajectory based on an aircraft intent description language (AIDL) representation of the recorded flight trajectory; and mapping, using the processor, the aircraft intent parameter and the initial condition to a combination of the first aircraft type, the first airline, and an identified intended descent procedure.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Enrique Juan Casado Magaña, Luis Pedro D'Alto, Miguel Vilaplana Ruiz

Patent number: 9620023Abstract: A method for modeling aircraft performance including (a) introducing aircraft degradation coefficients in a nominal aircraft performance model of an aircraft and obtaining a degraded aircraft performance model, (b) calculating computed trajectory data in a trajectory computation infrastructure using as inputs aircraft intent which represents trajectory data, weather data, and the degraded aircraft performance model; (c) comparing the trajectory data with the computed trajectory data; (d) obtaining an enhanced aircraft performance model by considering the degraded aircraft performance model as the enhanced aircraft performance model, when the result of the comparison is less than a previously established threshold; and (e) modifying, when the result of the comparison is higher than the previously established threshold, the aircraft degradation coefficients and executing steps (a) to (e) of the method, until the result of the comparison is less than the previously established threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Enrique Juan Casado Magaña

Patent number: 9551989Abstract: A method of extending the operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed. The method comprises detecting that an energy storage device on board the UAV is depleted below a threshold level, landing the UAV at a base station, and initiating operation of the base station to cause a replacement mechanism thereof to remove the energy storage device on board the UAV from the UAV and to replace this with another energy storage device.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David Scarlatti, David Esteban Campillo, Enrique Juan Casado Magana

Patent number: 9135828Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented method of generating an aircraft intent description expressed in a formal language that provides an unambiguous four-dimensional description of an aircraft's intended motion and configuration during a period of flight. A flight intent description is parsed to provide instances of flight intent that span a flight segment, the flight segments together spanning the period of flight. The parsed flight intent is enriched with objectives and constraints according to user preferences, operational context and aircraft performance. The resulting enriched flight intent is converted into a parametric aircraft intent description by ensuring that each flight segment closes all associated degrees of freedom of motion and of configuration of the aircraft. At least some instances of aircraft intent contain a parameter range, and the method further comprises optimizing the parametric aircraft intent by determining an optimal value for the parameter of each parameter range.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Javier Lopez Leones, Enrique Juan Casado Magana, Juan Besada, Guillermo Frontera
