Abstract: The instant disclosure is directed to a heterogeneous fiber fluid reservoir for holding and delivering fluid. A reservoir may comprise a rod having a core component and a surrounding component. Each of the core component and the surrounding component may comprise fibers. The core component may have a first property, and the surrounding component may have a second property different from the first property, or the core component and the surrounding component may each have a different value or range of values for the same property. Alternatively, a reservoir may comprise a rod that includes fibers and has a cross-sectional diameter. At least one property of the rod may vary in value along the cross-sectional diameter of the rod. The property may include, for example, fiber bulk density, fiber diameter, fiber material, fiber morphology, fiber surface tension, capillary force, fluid absorption capacity, color, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for inferred information propagation for aircraft prognostics. The method includes receiving, by a processor, an original time-series of data points for a component as an input; preprocessing the input to divide the original time-series of data into subsets of data by applying a time-window over the original time-series of data points; and computing, by the processor, a Mutual Information (MI) value for each pair of variables within each subset of data. The method also includes constructing, by the processor, a sequence of relationship graphs using the computed MI values; clustering, by the processor, each relationship graph; and analyzing, by the processor, the time-ordered sequence of clustered relationship graphs to identify features in the component.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for managing a platform. Sensor information for a platform health of the platform is received from a sensor system for the platform. The sensor information for the platform health of the platform is sent by a computer system into a machine learning model trained using historical sensor information indicating a historical platform health and historical context information corresponding to the historical sensor information in which the historical context information is for a set of operating conditions. A remaining useful life of a component in the platform is received by the computer system from the machine learning model.

Abstract: A fuel injector is disclosed herein. The fuel injector includes an injection line, a control valve, a check rod, a control cavity, a high pressure inlet, and a drain line. The injection line fluidly connects a fuel inlet to an injection cavity. The control cavity is adjacent an upper end of the check rod distal to the injection cavity. The high pressure inlet fluidly connects the injection line to the control cavity. The control valve blocks the flow of fuel from the control cavity to the drain line when the control valve is in a closed position and does not block the flow of fuel from the control cavity to the drain line when the control valve is in an open position.

Abstract: A method is provided for navigation in a tab-based application interface on a touch-sensitive display of a portable electronic device. A start of a touch contact initiating proximate to a first edge of the touch-sensitive display is detected. An end of the touch contact terminating proximate to a second edge of the touch sensitive display is detected. An angular gesture can then be determined when the start of the touch contact and the end of the touch contact are from the first edge being perpendicular to the second edge of the touch-sensitive display. Content associated with a tab on the touch-sensitive display in the tab-based application interface in response to the angular gesture is then displayed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and computer program product for exchanging categorized information nuggets stored in a database accessible to a portable mobile communication device with other similarly equipped portable mobile communication devices. The presence of another portable mobile communication device capable of exchanging categorized information nuggets is discovered and a connection is established. Information nugget category data is exchanged with the other portable mobile communication device to determine whether there are common categories shared by each portable mobile communication device. Information nuggets for common categories are then exchanged with the other portable mobile communication device. The information nuggets can be displayed and saved by the receiving portable mobile communication device. The information nuggets can also be date/time and location stamped to add additional contextual data about the information nuggets.

Abstract: A data processing system executes a plurality of processes in parallel. The processes access shared user records stored in memory serially. One or more data structures are used to track access by processes to the data structures and to the user records. Responsive to a fault occurring in a first parallel process, a signal is given the remaining parallel processes indicating the failure. Responsive to the failure, it is determined if the faulting parallel process had access to one of the data structures. Depending upon the circumstances of access, integrity of the user records may be assumed and the record validated. The data structures themselves can be examined to determine if the contents of memory is reliable. Typically the data structures support use of the memory as a cache.
