  • Publication number: 20230121283
    Abstract: A system and method are capable of ensuring that one or more text strings will be able to be fully rendered in a target area of a user interface or a target area of a graphics file. The system and method determine the number of pixels of first and second reference text that fit in the target area in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, respectively, determine the number of pixels of string text in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and compare the number of pixels in the horizontal direction of the first reference text and the vertical direction of the second reference text respectively to the number of pixels in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the text string that is desired to be rendered in the target area to determine whether the text string will fit in the target area.

  • Patent number: 8209351
    Abstract: A method for displaying data in an avionics communications system is disclosed. The method generates an ARINC 661 definition file and a user database from one or more user-defined inputs for a communications management function of an aircraft. To convey information relating the one or more user-defined inputs with at least one display of the aircraft, the method links one or more display attributes of the user database with the ARINC 661 definition file. Based on user interactions with the at least one display, the method updates display data of the at least one display using the contents of the ARINC 661 definition file and the user database.

  • Patent number: 7499881
    Abstract: Compensatory ratio hedging is a methodology whereby an amount of a bond that is hedged by a swap varies during the life of the swap, per a predetermined schedule, such that the change in the swap's mark-to-market dollar value is equal to the change in the bond's market value caused by an equal change in interest rates. The amount of bond being hedged by the swap will vary over a predetermined period of time to compensate for the differences in swap and bond valuation drivers. This methodology establishes a hedge such that an interest rate change has a similar dollar impact on the swap mark-to-market value and the bond mark-to-market value thus curtailing some reporting implications of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

  • Publication number: 20070294154
    Abstract: A method of providing a financial recommendation for a business entity includes providing a first set of constraints for a first set of financial categories having at least two spending categories. Predicted values for each of a plurality of financial categories that include at least the first set of financial categories are provided for at least a portion of a business cycle. The predicted values provided satisfy the respective first set of constraints. Based on at least one of the predicted values, at least one financial indicator value associated with at least one period of the business cycle is calculated. If the at least one financial indicator value satisfies the at least one desired financial rating for at least the portion of the business cycle, then at least one of the predicted spending values is provided as a first set of recommended future spending values.

  • Publication number: 20050181787
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing changes to Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) defined messages without initiating regulatory requirements. The system receives a message formatted according to ASN.1 compatible encoding rules, such as Basic Encoding Rules (BER) or Packed Encoding Rules (PER) and decodes the received message based on a previously stored configuration information file (CIF). In addition, the system encodes ASN.1 defined messages, which are to be sent, using ASN.1 compatible encoding rules based on the information stored in the CIF. The messages are transmitted and received according to a datalink protocol, such as the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) protocol or the Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) protocol. In addition, the CIF also defines processing (beyond encoding/decoding) associated with the message.
