Patent number: 11282399Abstract: Autoland systems and processes for landing an aircraft without pilot intervention are described. In implementations, the autoland system includes a memory operable to store one or more modules and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The processor is operable to execute the one or more modules to identify a plurality of potential destinations for an aircraft; calculate a merit for each potential destination identified; select a destination based upon the merit; and create a route from a current position of the aircraft to an approach fix associated with the destination that accounts for the terrain characteristic(s) and/or obstacle characteristic(s).Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Garmin International, Inc.Inventors: Scott K. Haskins, Noel J. Duerksen, Benjamin N. Patel, Eric Tran, Joseph Lombardo, Clayton E. Barber

Patent number: 10663991Abstract: A method for determining parameters for one or more air-cooling mechanisms for a computer system. A current operating temperature of a system component within a particular system is determined. A maximum operating temperature of the system component is obtained. A difference value between the maximum operating temperature and the current operating temperature is computed. A parameter of an air-cooling mechanism of an environment, which includes the system component, is selected and modified based on the difference value between the maximum operating temperature and the current operating temperature.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Sanjeev Sondur, Eric Tran-Le, Kenneth Gross, Kalyan Vaidyanathan
