Patent number: 11775633Abstract: A method of improving integrity of a computer system includes executing certifiable and qualifiable software applications. The certifiable software application is composed of static program instructions executed sequentially to process input data to produce an output, and the qualifiable software application uses a model iteratively built using a machine learning algorithm to process the input data to produce a corresponding output. The certifiable software application is certifiable for the computer system according to a certification standard, and the qualifiable software application being non-certifiable for the computer system according to the certification standard. The method also includes cross-checking the output by comparison with the corresponding output to verify the output, and thereby improve integrity of the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: John Newell Sanders-Reed

Patent number: 7429932Abstract: The present invention greatly enhances the user experience when the user is attempting to “teach” an electronic control device the code set used by a remote control unit. In one embodiment, the user is simply instructed to depress a button on the remote control unit. The electronic control device captures the overall waveform of the transmission corresponding to the code representing the depressed button and matches it against codes found in a code set database. If a unique match is found, the full code set data describing the matched code set is retrieved from the code set database and is used by the first electronic control device.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mark St. John Newell, John E.
