Publication number: 20170277185Abstract: An aircrew automation system that provides a pilot with high-fidelity knowledge of the aircraft's physical state, and notifies that pilot of any deviations in expected state based on predictive models. The aircrew automation may be provided as a non-invasive ride-along aircrew automation system that perceives the state of the aircraft through visual techniques, derives the aircraft state vector and other aircraft information, and communicates any deviations from expected aircraft state to the pilot.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2017Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: Jessica E. Duda, John Tylko, David Mindell, Fabrice Kunzi, Michael Piedmonte, John Allee, Joshua Torgerson, Jason Ryan, James Donald Paduano, John Brooke Wissler, Andrew Musto, Wendy Feenstra

Publication number: 20170197236Abstract: Systems and methods for drawing high aspect ratio metallic glass-based materials are provided. Methods of drawing a high aspect ratio metallic glass-based material are premised on stably drawing high aspect ratio metallic glass-based material from a preform metallic glass-based composition, accounting for the relationships between: the desired formation of an amorphous structure that is substantially homogenous along the majority of the length of the drawn high aspect ratio material; the desired final geometry of the drawn high aspect ratio material; the nature of the force that is used to draw the molten metallic glass-based composition; the velocity at which the high aspect ratio material is drawn; the viscosity profile of the material along its length as it is being drawn; and/or the effect of temperature on the metallic glass-based material.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2017Publication date: July 13, 2017Applicant: Metal Morphing Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas M. Hodges, John Brooke Delfini

Patent number: 9377538Abstract: A radiation detection apparatus (2) is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing (20), a window (26) at least partially transparent to electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range and a photomultiplier tube (24) for generating an electrical output signal dependent on the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation. A resiliently deformable optical coupling (28) is located between the window and the photomultiplier tube for allowing at least some electromagnetic radiation passing through the window to enter the photomultiplier tube, and a scintillator element 8 converts gamma radiation into visible light in the first wavelength range entering the photomultiplier tube.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: JOHNSON MATTHEY PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANYInventors: Stephen John Brookes, Colin Cunningham
