Abstract: The invention provides methods and systems for controlling speed of an aircraft during an autonomous pushback maneuver, i.e. under the aircraft's own power without a pushback tractor. The method includes applying a torque to at least one landing gear wheel of the aircraft, the torque being in a direction opposite to the backwards rolling direction of rotation of the landing gear wheel. The torque applied does not exceed a limit for ensuring aircraft longitudinal stability. For longitudinal stability the torque applied should not cause the aircraft to risk a tip-over event.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a porous silicon (PSi) includes providing a semiconductor wafer; depositing a mask layer on a first side of the semiconductor wafer; patterning the mask layer to expose portions of semiconductor material of the semiconductor wafer; depositing a metal layer onto the patterned mask layer on a second side of the semiconductor wafer; and etching the semiconductor wafer where exposed by patterned portions of any of the mask layer and the metal layer thereby creating PSi regions at a surface of the semiconductor wafer. The method may further include patterning the metal layer prior to etching to form at least one electrode. The etching may include etching the semiconductor wafer with HF, a solvent, and hydrogen peroxide. The metal layer may form a plurality of electrodes segmented from each other.

Abstract: Licensing as a service. A software package is downloaded from the app exchange in response to a download request. One or more licenses are received from a licensing entity by a client electronic device. The one or more licenses are maintained by the licensing entity for tenants of disparate heterogeneous cloud environments and provide the client electronic device authorization to utilize the software package. The licenses received from the licensing entity are assigned to one or more users within the client electronic device so that those users are granted access to the corresponding package. The client electronic device utilizes the software package with the one or more licenses as authorization.

Abstract: Example posture analysis systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a computing system identifies a deviation of a user's posture from a predetermined posture based on visual data associated with the user. The user is informed of the deviation via a graphical image displayed on a display device. The user is then provided with instructions for correcting the deviation via the graphical image displayed on the display device.

Abstract: A brew basket is provided for use in a beverage brewing machine. The brew basket includes a body defining a brewing reservoir that extends along a longitudinal length from an open top to a bottom end having one or more openings. The brewing reservoir has an internally tapered multi-sided three-dimensional (3D) shape. The brewing reservoir having a first cross-sectional area at the open top that progressively narrows along the longitudinal length of the multi-sided 3D shape to a smaller second cross-sectional area proximate to the one or more openings at the bottom end. The open top is configured to receive heated water from the brewing machine during a brewing operation with brewed beverage discharging from the one or more openings. The multi-sided 3D shape of the brewing reservoir configured to receive a filter pack having a generally tapered multi-sided 3D shape similar to the multi-sided 3D shape of the brewing reservoir.

Abstract: A method of engaging a drive system with a rotating wheel of an aircraft landing gear is disclosed. A motor is operated to apply torque to a pinion so the pinion rotates. An engagement command is issued to an actuator at an engagement time, and the actuator operates the actuator in response to the engagement command to move the pinion from a neutral position to a contact position in which it contacts a rotating driven gear at an initial contact time, the rotating driven gear being mounted to a rotating wheel of an aircraft landing gear; then after the initial contact time operating the actuator to move the pinion further to a meshing position where the pinion meshes with the driven gear. A centre-to-centre distance between the pinion and the driven gear reduces as the pinion moves to the contact position and to the meshing position.

Abstract: Techniques and architectures for granular licensing in a computing environment having access to an app exchange that provides a listing of multiple apps available to a remote client electronic device in response to a download request. A registration request corresponding to a software package having multiple modules is received. A license definition is transmitted from the management entity. The license definition includes a license for one or more of the multiple modules. The software package and license definition are registered with the management entity, so that only authorized management entities can store license definitions or grant licenses. The license definitions are stored in a memory associated with the management entity. One or more licenses are transmitted to a client electronic device. The one or more licenses correspond to one or more of the multiple modules of the software package that the client electronic device is authorized to utilize.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a display engine and one or more data files are determined. They are then sent to a website provider's network. The display engine and data are used to provide ASP functionality without contacting the ASP network for every user request. So even if the ASP network is not available, the ASP functionality provided by the display engine and data is always accessible to the website provider. For example, the website provider's network may provide the ASP functionality by displaying data in one or more data files at a user's display device. This is performed without relying on the availability of the ASP network.

Abstract: A method of engaging a drive system with a rotating wheel of an aircraft landing gear is disclosed. A motor is operated to apply torque to a pinion so the pinion rotates and moved from a neutral position to a contact position in which it contacts a rotating driven gear at an initial contact time, the rotating driven gear being mounted to a rotating wheel of an aircraft landing gear. After the initial contact time the pinion is moved further to a meshing position where the pinion meshes with the driven gear. A centre-to-centre distance between the pinion and the driven gear reduces as the pinion moves to the contact position and to the meshing position. The driven gear contacts the pinion in a series of impacts as the pinion moves from the contact position to the meshing position, each impact induces a spike in electromotive force or angular velocity at the motor.
