  • JOINT AUTONOMOUS REPAIR VERIFICATION AND INSPECTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230052634
    Abstract: An autonomous or semi-autonomous cell for inspecting composite parts, verifying repairs made to such parts, and facilitating repairs to composite parts. The cell employs automated inspection, damage assessment, and repair systems. An industrial robot automatically attaches to a set of interchangeable inspection and repair end effectors to carry out the inspection, verification, and repair processes. The cell can be equipped with fixtures for supporting a rotorcraft blade and rotating the blade within the cell so that the robot can access the entire blade. Processes are provided for performing inspections, tracking the inspection data for parts in a database, and carrying out repairs. Over time, a software applicant can use the inspection data to train a machine learning model for recognizing damage to the composite part based on inspection images.

  • Physical layer shielding of wireless communications
    Patent number: 11575413
    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to shield transmissions from being received and the information contained in them recovered by unwanted devices. Multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) techniques are employed, and in particular the spatial dimension aspects of those techniques. Shield nodes are controlled to transmit in a way to obscure the downlink streams transmitted by a wireless access point that are intended for a particular client device to anything outside of the shielded area, and also to obscure uplink streams from one or more client devices to the wireless access point to anything outside of the shielded area but allowing the uplink streams to be well received by the wireless access point.

  • Determining optimum software update transmission parameters
    Patent number: 11563650
    Abstract: Optimum software update transmission parameters are determined and used for transmitting a software update from a host to servers of a computer network. The software update is transmitted while the servers are live and required to meet certain quality of service requirements for tenants of the computer network. Transmission parameters for transmitting the software update are adjusted and updated based on service performance data. Based on iterative adjustments, optimum transmission parameters may be determined. Additionally or alternatively, machine learning is used to generate a model that determines predicted optimum transmission parameters. The predicted optimum transmission parameters may be initially used for transmitting a software update, while the transmission parameters continue to be adjusted throughout transmission.
