Publication number: 20240394154Abstract: A failure of a head is detected, the head reading from and writing to an affected surface of a disk of a disk drive. The failure prevents the head from writing to the affected surface but does not prevent the head from reading from the affected surface. In response to detecting the failure, a remediation is performed. The remediation involves determining spare capacity blocks on other surfaces of the disk drive different than the affected surface, and copying data from the affected surface to the spare capacity blocks via an internal copy function within the disk drive. The spare capacity blocks in place of the affected surface for data storage and retrieval subsequent to the failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: Mohamad El-Batal, Curtis Stevens, David Allen, Jon D.

Publication number: 20240370463Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-program products for entity resolution are disclosed. Entity resolution embodiments include receiving tree data from each of a pair of entities, extracting and/or aggregating feature vectors or metric functions therefrom, and generating similarity scores between the pair of entities. The similarity scores may be weighted using machine-learned weights. The weighted similarity scores are used to generate a combinatorial probability score accounting for combined likelihoods of field values between the pair of entities. A classification of the pair of entities is performed based on the combinatorial probability score, with a genealogical database modified based on the classification.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Ian Stiles, Eugene David Greenwood, Donald Bernard Curtis, Rey Robert Furner

Publication number: 20240326992Abstract: An aircraft landing gear shock absorber strut including an outer cylinder having a bore defining an opening; an inner cylinder having a first end region movably coupled within the bore and a second end region which projects out of the opening. The inner cylinder being arranged to move along a longitudinal axis of the bore between a first condition and a second condition and is biased by a spring force to assume the second condition. A mechanical outstop is arranged to engage an abutment surface of the inner cylinder to limit extension of the shock absorber strut; and a rotatable member drives the out stop axially to move the inner cylinder from the second condition towards the first condition. The rotatable member is arranged such that the spring force cannot rotate the rotatable member to allow the shock absorber strut to extend.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2022Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventor: Ian Robert BENNETT

Publication number: 20240318957Abstract: Perception sensors of a vehicle can be used for various operating functions of the vehicle. A computing device may receive sensor data from the perception sensors, and may calibrate the perception sensors using the sensor data, to enable effective operation of the vehicle. To calibrate the sensors, the computing device may project the sensor data into a voxel space, and determine a voxel score comprising an occupancy score and a residual value for each voxel. The computing device may then adjust an estimated position and/or orientation of the sensors, and associated sensor data, from at least one perception sensor to minimize the voxel score. The computing device may calibrate the sensor using the adjustments corresponding to the minimized voxel score. Additionally, the computing device may be configured to calculate an error in a position associated with the vehicle by calibrating data corresponding to a same point captured at different times.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Derek Adams, Ian Baldwin, Bertrand Robert Douillard, Jesse Sol Levinson
