Patent number: 11958592Abstract: Systems and methods for mechanically rotating an aircraft about its center-of-gravity (CG) are disclosed. The system can enable the rear, or main, landing gear to squat, while the nose landing gear raises to generate a positive pitch angle for the aircraft for takeoff or landing. The system can also enable the nose gear and main gear to return to a relatively level fuselage attitude for ground operations. The system can include one or more hydraulically linked hydraulic cylinders to control the overall height of the nose gear and the main gear. Because the hydraulic cylinders are linked, a change on the length of the nose cylinder generates a proportional, and opposite, change in the length of the main cylinder, and vice-versa. A method and control system for monitoring and controlling the relative positions of the nose gear and main gear is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: JetZero, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Whitlock, Joshua B. Long, Cristina Donastorg, Brendan Kennelly, Mark A. Page

Patent number: 11939043Abstract: Systems and methods for mechanically rotating an aircraft about its center-of-gravity (CG) are disclosed. The system can enable the rear, or main, landing gear to squat, while the nose landing gear raises to generate a positive angle of attack for the aircraft for takeoff or landing. The system can also enable the nose gear and main gear to return to a relatively level fuselage attitude for ground operations. The system can include one or more hydraulically linked hydraulic cylinders to control the overall height of the nose gear and the main gear. Because the hydraulic cylinders are linked, a change on the length of the nose cylinder generates a proportional, and opposite, change in the length of the main cylinder, and vice-versa. A method and control system for monitoring and controlling the relative positions of the nose gear and main gear is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: JetZero, Inc.Inventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 11934447Abstract: Methods for enhancing compatibility of a document of an entity with an organization's database on a computer server. Methods may include using a computer hardware processor to digitize a document from a first format into a digital format, such as bytes, when the first format may not be compatible with the database. Methods may further include using a computer hardware processor to convert the document from a digital format into a second format, where the second format of the document may be compatible with the organization's database. Methods may include using a computer hardware processor to populate the database on the computer server with data from the document in the second format. Methods may further include storing the populated database and the document in the second format on the computer server.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: James Siekman, Aubrey Breon Farrar, Sr., Mohamed Faris Khaleeli, Patricia Ann Albritton, Sheila Page, Mark Alan Odiorne, Marcus R.

Publication number: 20240086395Abstract: Methods for enhancing compatibility of a document of an entity with an organization's database on a computer server to facilitate detection of a fraudulent submission. Methods may include receiving a populated document in a first format from the entity, using a processor to digitize the document into a digital format, such as bytes, and further into a second format, where the first format may not be compatible with the database and the second format may be compatible with the database. Methods may include using the processor, optionally running a statistical model, to determine an entity identifier, a predicted value of a data field in the document, and whether there is a difference between the value in the predicted data field and a corresponding value in the populated document. Methods may include implementing a corrective action, such as raising a fraud alert at the organization, when there is a difference.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: James Siekman, Aubrey Breon Farrar, SR., Mohamed Faris Khaleeli, Patricia Ann Albritton, Sheila Page, Mark Alan Odiorne, Marcus R.

Patent number: 11926410Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a drag recovery scheme. In various examples, a recovery engine is placed within a vortex flow of air caused by the impingement of air upon a nacelle of a main engine. The propeller of the recovery engine can use the vortex flow of air to provide additional thrust the aircraft, thus reducing the load on the main engines or providing an increased velocity.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: JetZero, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.

Publication number: 20230415885Abstract: An electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft including a teetering propulsor assembly is provided. Teetering propulsor assembly may include a propeller that includes a hub and blades. Hub of propeller may be mechanically connected to a teeter mechanism of propulsor assembly that may be configured to allow the propeller to pivot about a teeter axis relative to the electric aircraft. Thus, teeter mechanism allows for a rotational axis of propeller to move during teetering of propeller. Teeter mechanism may include one or more springs that reduce teetering or prevent teetering of the propulsor at certain rotational speeds of propeller.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: BETA AIR, LLCInventors: Daniel Spira, Kyle Brookes, David Churchill, Mark Page

Publication number: 20230320676Abstract: This disclosure relates to detecting prostate cancer. A processor receives image data indicative of a computed tomography scan comprising a spatial sequence of two-dimensional cross-sectional images. The processor then applies a neural network to the image data by calculating three-dimensional convolutions in one or more convolutional layers of the neural network and evaluating an output layer. A first dimension of the convolutions is defined in space along the spatial sequence of the two-dimensional cross-sectional images. The three-dimensional convolutions comprise convolutions along the first dimension. The output layer is connected to the one or more convolutional layers in the neural network, and has an output value that is indicative of a probability of detecting prostate cancer in the computed tomography scan. Three-dimensional convolutions in the neural network provide a more accurate probability of detecting prostate cancer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Next Generation AI Pty LtdInventors: Mark PAGE, Peter BROTCHIE

Patent number: 11697500Abstract: Technologies for providing emergency egress routes for a blended wing body aircraft are described herein. In some examples, the emergency egress routes are through a side cabin bulkhead and aft one or more cargo holds. In some examples, the blended wing body aircraft has wings that are high geometry wings. In these examples, the emergency egress routes do not penetrate an aft spar, reducing weight and increasing the integrity of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Blended Wing Aircraft, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Whitlock, Brendan Kennelly, Mark A.
