  • Publication number: 20240141792
    Abstract: A fan blade includes an aerofoil portion including a leading edge extending from a root to a tip and defining a blade span therebetween. A leading edge thickness is defined as a thickness of a cross-section at a given radius at a location along a camber line that is 9% of the total length of the camber line from the leading edge. For cross-sections through the aerofoil portion at radii between 50% and 70% of the blade span from a root radius, the leading edge thickness includes a first maximum value. For cross-sections through the aerofoil portion at radii greater than 70% of the blade span from the root radius, the leading edge thickness includes a second maximum value that is between 105% and 125% of the first maximum value.

  • Patent number: 10909174
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, a system that may receive a stream of data content that corresponds with a content classification. A machine learning (ML) model may be selected based at least in part on the metadata and/or content classification. The data content may be inputted to the ML model and an output from the ML model may indicate that data content is associated with the content classification, a start location, and an end location of the stream of data content. The stream of data content may be truncated or cut by removing portions of the stream of data content that fall before the start location and after the end location. The remaining portion of the stream may be stored as a file and provided to the user device.

  • Patent number: 10860860
    Abstract: Computer systems of a multimedia service provider may utilize an artificial intelligence model to automatically match a video content with an existing video title of a catalog, allowing the provider to efficiently and accurately process a high volume of video content being received. The artificial intelligence model may be proceed by analyzing video frames from the video content to extract features and then determining the relevance of a set of features to a particular video title of the catalog. Based on the relevance determination, the computer system may associate the video content with the particular video title. In cases where no match with an existing title is determined, the artificial intelligence model may create a new video title based in part on the extracted features.

  • Patent number: 9153063
    Abstract: A device and method for displaying data simultaneously in two-dimensional and three-dimensional formats. A user selects data to be represented in multiple formats simultaneously. A data rendition server retrieves the data and determines the three-dimensional representations that are possible. The user then selects the three-dimensional representation desired, and the server renders the data to the user in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional formats. The data may be rendered together with static data such as digital terrain data and other static data types. Data representations may be rotated and morphed as desired by the user.

  • Publication number: 20130275176
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, risk associated with a supplier of an organization may be assessed. A supplier associated with an organization is identified for risk assessment. The risk assessment comprises a plurality of questions where each question has a priority level. A plurality of selections for the supplier associated with the plurality of questions is determined. A respective selection of the plurality of selections is associated with a respective question of the plurality of questions. A plurality of values associated with the plurality of selections is determined. A respective value of the plurality of values is associated with a respective selection of the plurality of selections. Using a processor, a risk score for the supplier is calculated according to the plurality of values and the priority level of each of the plurality of questions.
