  • Displaying weather-based flight information in vertical profile
    Patent number: 11054280
    Abstract: Displaying weather-based information for a flight path is disclosed. A data processing system receives a flight path and retrieves weather-related raster-based forecast data along the flight path. The data processing system then generates a vertical profile for the flight path for all altitudes along the flight path and all flight times along the flight path. The weather-related raster-based forecast data is then converted by the system into polygonal bands that are superimposed by the data processing system onto the vertical profile, resulting in a modified vertical profile. The modified vertical profile is then displayed by the data processing system with a selector in a graphical user interface (GUI) for selecting a flight time of the flight times along the flight path.

  • Exercise Device
    Publication number: 20140274603
    Abstract: An exercise device is provided. The exercise device has an upper bar and lower bar pivotally joined together by a spring housing. The bars resist movement towards each other by the force of a spring within the spring housing. The exercise device is configured to be mounted under a chair such that it may be utilized while a user is seated in the chair.
