  • Publication number: 20250094216
    Abstract: A method of managing the execution of software services on an avionics platform including resources for the execution of the services is implemented by an electronic device and includes acquisition of contextual data for a group of software services to be executed, the contextual data including, for each software service: a maximum number of resources used by the service, an operating requirement of the service equal to resistance to breakdown/s or non-resistance to breakdown/s, and, if the operating requirement of the service is equal to resistance to breakdown/s, a number of breakdown/s the service should withstand, computation, from the acquired contextual data, of a context for the group of software services, and launching of the execution of software service/s of the group according to a set of distribution rule/s of the services and depending upon the computed context.

  • Patent number: 11940775
    Abstract: A method for creating metadevices includes receiving, at a computing device, one or more boundary conditions for a metadevice. The method also includes processing, with an inverse-design algorithm stored in a memory of the computing device, the one or more boundary conditions to generate a metadevice structure design that satisfies the one or more boundary conditions. The method also includes converting, by a processor of the computing device, the metadevice structure design into a file that is compatible with an additive manufacturing device. The method further includes providing the file of the metadevice structure design to the additive manufacturing device.

  • Patent number: 11830010
    Abstract: Techniques performed by a data processing system for matching a customer service ambassador (CSA) with a customer include receiving a service request for technical assistance from the customer, analyzing estimated working hours information for the customer and estimated working hours information for each of the plurality of CSAs to produce a compatibility score for each CSA, the compatibility score for a respective one of the CSAs providing an indication of how closely the working hours of the customer and of the respective one of the CSAs align, reordering an available CSA queue identifying the plurality of CSAs based on the compatibility scores of each of the CSAs, and selecting a CSA from the queue to provide technical assistance to the customer.
