Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to transferring a file via a video-out port. A sending computer device may generate a plurality of bitmap images based on the file. The sending computer device may scan the bitmap images as frames to a video-out port. A receiving computer device may receive, via a video-in port, the plurality of video frames. The receiving computer device may convert each of the video frames to a bitmap image including a header portion and a data portion. The receiving computer device may reconstruct the data file based on the data portion of each bitmap image according to the header portions.

Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a storage device for transferring a file. The storage device may include a data store storing a plurality of bitmap images representing portions of a data file. Each bitmap image may include at least a portion of the data file and header information for the portion of the data file. The storage device may also include a video-out port and a processor configured to scan the bitmap images as frames to the video-out port. A computer device for accessing a file from the storage device may receive, via a video-in port, the plurality of video frames and reconstruct the requested at least a portion of the file based on the data portion of each bitmap image according to the header portions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for upgrading passengers from commercial airline flights to private aircraft flights are disclosed. The problem of having a return flight of a private aircraft without revenue generating passengers is solved by selecting a commercial airline flight which best overlaps the return flight of the private aircraft, and offering commercial airline passengers booked on the selected commercial airline flight an opportunity to upgrade to the private aircraft flight. Commercial airline passengers willing to upgrade pay an incremental fee which may be used to offset the cost of the return flight of the private aircraft. Commercial airline passengers may be selected based on their participation in commercial airline marketing programs such as those based on total accumulated miles flown.
