Publication number: 20210034053Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring, communicating and safeguarding the health and alertness of a pilot during operation of an aircraft. The state of the pilot is monitored using biometric sensors. A pilot state data processor of an onboard computer system determines whether the value of any health/alertness parameter has exceeded a specified threshold or not. The onboard computer system further includes an automatic control processor that automatically transfers control authority from the pilot to the autopilot and then issues an unfit pilot alert. Then a real-time audio/video/data connection is established between the pilot onboard the aircraft and a remote medical professional. The remote medical professional evaluates the medical fitness of the pilot and determines whether the pilot automated mitigations should be continued (pilot unfit for duty) or removed (pilot fit for duty).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2019Publication date: February 4, 2021Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Mark Ivan Nikolic, Lisa C.

Patent number: 10124925Abstract: A self folding box with a carrier for packing of pizza, as well as a tool for forming the box, comprises a box (A) with a lower part (1) of the box and a cover (2) of the box, wherein on a bottom (1.1) of the lower part (1) of the box is placed a carrier (4) for two slices of pizza quarter. Lateral sides (1.2, 2.2), auxiliary sides (1.8, 2.8) and an opposite side (1.5, 2.5) are made around bottom (1.1, 2.1) both of the lower part (1) and the cover (2) of the box (A). The lateral sides (1.1, 2.1) and the auxiliary sides (1.8, 2.8) are mutually connected and locked by means of tongues (1.3) entering slots (1.10). The opposite side (1.5, 2.5) is locked in a slot (1.7) in the bottom (1.1, 2.1) by means of a tongue (1.6). The carrier (4) comprises two pads (3) for one slice of pizza quarter, which are superposed one on another, so that the tongues (3.3, 3.4, 3.6) of the sides (3.2) of the upped pad (3) enclose from outside the sides (3.2) of the lower pad (3), while the trapezoidal tongues (3.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Inventor: Ivan Nikolic

Patent number: 9738378Abstract: A system and method for braking an aircraft. A processor unit identifies an operating condition of the aircraft. The processor unit displays available modes indications on a display device on the aircraft. The available modes indications indicate modes of operating an automatic braking system on the aircraft that are available for selection by an operator based on the operating condition of the aircraft. The processor unit receives a mode selection from an operator interface. The mode selection indicates a selected mode of operating the automatic braking system that is selected by the operator from the available modes. The processor unit displays on the display device a selected mode indication indicating the selected mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Mark Ivan Nikolic, Joseph A.

Patent number: 9471176Abstract: Touch or proximity sensors are integrated into control devices such as knobs, dials or wheels incorporated in a user control panel. A control output processor detects whether any of the sensors are outputting signals indicating that a control device is being touched (or nearly touched) by a user. The control output processor causes an associated display area to be highlighted or otherwise modified on a display screen to indicate to the user which control device is being touched. This feature allows for “no-look” interaction with control panels, and keeps the user's eyes focused on the relevant displays where the control devices produce effects. This allows users to preview and verify that the correct control device is being manipulated prior to taking any (potentially erroneous) control actions.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Mark Ivan Nikolic, Stephen Minarsch
