Abstract: An approach is disclosed for directing an aircraft. A first yoke is connected to a second yoke by a connection element where a first input force applied to the first yoke is added to a second input force applied to the second yoke to form a resulting force and where the resulting force is applied to an aircraft control surface used for directing the aircraft. When a difference between the first input force and the second input force exceeds a predetermined value, the second yoke is disconnect preventing the second input force from contributing to the resulting force.

Abstract: Transportation sharing based payment systems and methods are described herein. An example system includes a processor configured to ascertain a current user of a transportation asset and routing information of the transportation asset. The processor may link a funding source of the current user to a payment platform and direct the current user to a merchant location based on the routing information by using an incentive to purchase an item at the merchant location. The processor may further determine that the transportation asset has arrived at the merchant location and upon receipt of an indication from the current user of an intent to purchase the item associated with the incentive, complete a financial transaction associated with a purchase of the at least one item. The financial transaction may be completed directly through the payment platform without the use of the funding source.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for detecting blood alcohol level. The system for detecting blood alcohol level comprises a receiver configurable to receive an input video of an eye of a user and a processor configurable to: stabilize the input video; analyze the input video; based on the analysis, detect a horizontal gaze nystagmus level; and based on the horizontal gaze nystagmus level, determine an equivalent blood alcohol level of the user. The system outputs data associated with the equivalent blood alcohol level via an interface. Additionally, the system comprises a screen configurable to display a moving object. The input video captures eye movements of the user following the moving object. To illuminate the eye of the user, the system may generate red light.

Abstract: Provided are computer implemented methods and systems for auctioning asset backed securities. An online multi-stage auction system is provided based on peer-to-peer lending approach, where individual borrowers may sell shares in asset backed securities to partially finance the asset backed security or facilitate loans to purchase the asset backed securities. The auction system provides for a number of auctions to be held sequentially over a predetermined period of time. Lenders are provided with an option to sell their shares during each of the auctions. The total amount of shares allowable to be sold by lenders per auction should not exceed a predetermined threshold amount, otherwise the shares are sold in installments at subsequent auctions.
