Publication number: 20230215039Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed towards systems and methods for estimating vehicle attitude information using position data of stars and astronomical objects in the sky. Considerable advantages may be realized by equipping vehicles with low-cost star trackers adequate for filtering images based on statistical-based techniques, which could provide a robust and reliable attitude determination. The methods described herein provide algorithms to reduce the amount of processing capacity and memory for finding stars and astronomical objects. In some instances, the provided systems and methods allow the prediction of the next location of the stars and/or other astronomical objects to enhance the search by looking for them at the predicted location. The algorithms may be applied in real-time and are suitable for movable platforms with limited resources such as satellites and spacecraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Florian Pignol, Manuel Diaz Ramos, Matias Grana

Patent number: 11572834Abstract: Gas turbine engine including a nacelle and an engine core within the nacelle. The engine core defines a principal rotational axis along its length. The engine core and nacelle define a bypass passage therebetween. The gas turbine engine further includes a cooling system including a cooling duct, which duct defines an inlet for receiving bypass air from the bypass passage at an upstream location and an outlet for discharging the bypass air at a downstream location. The cooling duct extends, relative to the principal axis, axially and circumferentially around a section of the engine core. The cooling duct comprises: first portion that extends at least axially relative to the principal rotational axis; second portion downstream of the first portion that extends circumferentially around the engine core relative to the principal rotational axis; and third portion downstream of second portion that extends at least axially relative to the principal rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE PLCInventor: Manuel Diaz Brito

Patent number: 10587520Abstract: Computer connectivity is dependent on network availability. When networks are offline, relocating systems and data to an available network is an inefficient, time consuming, and error prone process. A system and method is disclosed for instant IP sharing and relocation between geographical locations by combining BGP announcement in one or multiple locations and applying stateless NAT to the IP traffic. Thereby, IP traffic is redirected to the desired location and delivered to the final device using the shared/relocated IP address. This system and method allows a single IP address to actively respond to network requests from numerous locations which can be spread around the globe.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: THE VIKI GROUP, LLCInventors: Manuel Diaz, Chris Kurzweg, Jonathan Ham
