  • Patent number: 11755737
    Abstract: Provided is a method for remotely communicating a software management task to certified software from a source to a software management module on an asset via a wireless communications link. The method includes encrypting the communications link between the source and the software management module to form a secure tunnel and verifying credentials of the source via the software management module when a software management task file is communicated. A load assurance check is performed on a portion of the communicated software management task file to confirm integrity of the communicated file when the credentials of the source are verified. Thee software management task is executed immediately when the file integrity is verified, the executing occurring automatically and being devoid of human intervention.

  • Publication number: 20230118644
    Abstract: Systems and methods of planning and scheduling resources of an airline include using machine learning models to generate custom behavioral characteristics for a plurality of operational components of the airline based on operations data. The custom behavioral characteristics are used to define inputs and outcomes in simulations of the operational components of the airline. The simulation outputs performance indicators and a feedback loop captures previously ignored interactions between the operational components of the airline based on the performance indicators and custom behavioral characteristics of inputs and outcomes corresponding to the plurality of operational components of the airline.

  • Publication number: 20230014326
    Abstract: Provided is a method for remotely uploading certified software from a source to a data update module on an asset via a wireless communications link. The method includes encrypting the communications link between the source and the data update module to form a secure tunnel and verifying credentials of the source via the data update module when a software update file is transmitted. A load assurance check is performed on a portion of the transmitted update file to confirm integrity of the transmitted file when the credentials of the source are verified. The uploading of the certified software is immediately activated when the file integrity is verified, the activating occurring automatically and being devoid of human intervention.
