Abstract: Systems and methods to identify a query parameter in an incoming flight voice or data communication to respond to a request. A processing system configured to: in response to receipt of a clearance message, decode the clearance message to determine whether the clearance message contains a command instruction or clearance data for a flight, and to present the command instruction to a pilot as notice to execute the command instruction or if available, obtain at least one query parameter from the clearance data to configure in a query operation to present in response to a pilot question about the command instruction. In response to receipt of the voice or data communication, determine further an intent within the voice or data communication of a question or instruction voiced by applying an acoustic model for tagging identified parts about the question or instruction voiced with query parameters in response to the pilot.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and system for communication in an edge network that interconnects with eNodeB (4G) (108) or gNB (5G) (116). A light mobile core with an IP interface interconnects the edge network with eNodeB (4G) (108) or gNB (5G) (116). Mobile traffic is offloaded at the edge either fully or partially, rather than have the full data ripple through the entire 4G or 5G network to one of the following: Internet, MEC (Multi-Access Edge Compute) platform or a specialized edge cache or edge compute node. The system maintains conformance with 3GPP standards and does not disrupt the S1 interface between eNodeB (108) and EPC (Evolved Packet Core) in 4G networks, and does not disrupt the N3 interface between gNB and core in 5G networks. The system described herein provides the full functionality of 4G or 5G mobile core, and comprises control plane and data plane components.

Abstract: An elevator provides for lifting and disconnecting an electronic device from a chassis circuit board and the subsequent removal of the device from a chassis slot. A sliding element between the device and the slot includes tracks within which travel followers associated with the electronic device. Motion in a first direction the tracks causes the tracks to move with respect to the followers, raising the device away from the circuit board. In a fully raised position, the device is disconnected and may be removed from the slot. Motion in the opposite direction causes the relative motion between the track and follower to lower the device toward the circuit board. In a fully seated position, the device is connected to the circuit board.
