  • Patent number: 12109261
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel engineered influenza hemagglutinin (HA) proteins, related polynucleotide sequences, and vaccine compositions including nanoparticle compositions. Relative to a wildtype HA protein, the engineered HA proteins are stabilized via substitutions of one or more conserved residues in the HA2 ectodomain with hydrophobic residues. The invention also provides methods of using such vaccine compositions in various therapeutic applications, e.g., for preventing or treating influenza viral infections.

  • Publication number: 20210312819
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve aircraft traffic control. An example apparatus includes a network interface to obtain air route traffic (ART) data associated with aircraft flying in airspace sectors during a first time period, a database controller to generate a first database entry by mapping extracted portions of the ART data to a first database entry field of the first database entry, and ART sector services to execute machine learning (ML) models using database entries to generate first aircraft traffic counts of the airspace sectors during the first time period, in response to selecting a first ML model of the ML models based on the first aircraft traffic counts, execute the first ML model to generate second aircraft traffic counts during a second time period, and transmit the second aircraft traffic counts to a computing device to cause an aircraft flight plan adjustment.

  • Patent number: 10943492
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for transmitting four-dimensional trajectories to an aircraft. Four-dimensional trajectory information for a four-dimensional trajectory for a flight of an aircraft is received. The four-dimensional trajectory information includes trajectory change points describing the four-dimensional trajectory. A subset of the trajectory change points that describe a shape of the four-dimensional trajectory is selected. A message containing the subset of the trajectory change points is created in a format used by an aircraft computer system in the aircraft. The message is transmitted to the aircraft computer system.
