Ground-based controller for selectively curating content provided by in-flight entertainment systems
Patent number: 12301891Abstract: A ground-based content controller for managing content provided by an in-flight entertainment (“IFE”) system operating on an airplane can include a ground-based content processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory computer readable medium can be communicatively coupled to the ground-based content controller and store program code executable by the ground-based content processor to perform operations. The operations can include retrieving information associated with a passenger of the airplane. The operations can further include determining content targeting rules based on the information. The content targeting rules can be used to select content to be made available to the passenger on the airplane. The operations can further include transmitting, prior to takeoff, the content targeting rules via a radio access network to an on-board content controller on the airplane.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: Thales Avionics, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Yves Couleaud, Tracy Decuir, Jerry Thomas -
Patent number: 12209120Abstract: The present disclosure provides activatable binding polypeptides (ABPs), which contain a target binding moiety (TBM), a masking moiety (MM), and a cleavable moiety (CM). The present disclosure provides activatable antibody compositions, which contain a TBM containing an antigen binding domain (ABD), a MM and a CM. Furthermore the present disclosure also provides ABPs which contain a first TBM, a second TBM and a CM. The ABPs exhibit an “activatable” conformation such that at least one of the TBMs is less accessible to target when uncleaved than after cleavage of the CM in the presence of a cleaving agent capable of cleaving the CM. The disclosure further provides libraries of candidate ABPs, methods of screening to identify such ABPs, and methods of use. The disclosure further provides ABPs having TBMs that bind VEGF, CTLA-4, or VCAM, ABPs having a first TBM that binds VEGF and a second TBM that binds FGF, as well as compositions and methods of use.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, CytomX Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Sean Daugherty, Nancy Stagliano, Jerry Thomas, Kathryn Kamath, James W.

Patent number: 11961123Abstract: A system for managing advertisements in an in-flight entertainment (“IFE”) system operating on an airplane can include an inventory processing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory computer readable medium can be communicatively coupled to the inventory processing device to cause the inventory processing device to perform operations. The operations can include determining an inventory of targeted advertisements for future flights. The operations can further include receiving a request to use a portion of the inventory for advertisements associated with an advertiser. The operations can further include transmitting instructions to an IFE controller on-board the airplane to cause the IFE controller to provide the advertisements during targeted advertisement opportunities during a flight.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: THALES AVIONICS, INC.Inventors: Jean-Yves Couleaud, Peter Hong, Jerry Thomas, Tracy Decuir, Cecile Andre

Patent number: 10893318Abstract: A vehicle chatroom server includes at least one network interface configured to communicate with passenger terminals, at least one processor connected to communicate through the at least one network interface, and at least one memory storing code that is executed by the at least one processor to perform operations. The operations include obtaining passenger information and characterizing potential passenger discussion interests based on the passenger information. The operations identify a grouping of passengers who satisfy a common interest rule based on the potential passenger discussion interests. The operations then communicate with passengers in the grouping through a computerized chatbot module providing natural-language text and/or computer synthesized speech that is provided to the passengers in the grouping to invite to a discussion-focused chatroom hosted by the chatroom server. Related methods and computer program products are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Thales Avionics, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Yves Couleaud, Jerry Thomas
