Patent number: 11834192Abstract: A variety of refueling devices, systems and methods are disclosed for use in in-flight refueling. In one example one such device is towed by a tanker aircraft via a fuel hose at least during in-flight refueling, and has a boom member with a boom axis. The boom member enables fuel to be transferred from the fuel hose to a receiver aircraft along the boom axis during in-flight refueling. The device maintains a desired non-zero angular disposition between the boom axis and a forward direction at least when the refueling device is towed by the tanker aircraft in the forward direction via the fuel hose.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Ohad Rix, Joshua Gur, Michael Litvak, Elie Koskas

Patent number: 11726663Abstract: Techniques for providing dependency resolution for lazy snapshots in a storage cluster with a delta log-based architecture. The techniques include creating a dependency relationship between a parent metadata page and a child metadata page, receiving one or more new delta updates of the parent metadata page, and writing, to a metadata delta log, the new delta updates of the parent metadata page as specialized delta update entries that preserve or maintain the new delta update values and their corresponding original (old) delta update values. By preserving or maintaining both the new delta update values and the corresponding old delta update values of the parent metadata page in the metadata delta log, constraints pertaining to the order of de-staging the delta updates of the parent and child metadata pages can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Vladimir Shveidel, Bar David, Michael Litvak

Patent number: 8965519Abstract: Among other things, a stimulation strategy can be customized for a cochlear implant implanted in an individual by testing at least a pair of electrodes selected from an array of electrodes associated with the cochlear implant. Testing the at least a pair of electrodes includes applying a first stimulation to the at least a pair of electrodes using a first pair of pulse trains that are out of phase, and applying a second stimulation to the at least a pair of electrodes using a second pair of pulse trains that are out of phase. A determination is made on whether the at least a pair of electrodes stimulate the same neural population based on a sensitivity of the individual to detect a perceived difference between the two pairs of pulse trains. The one or more electrodes of the array of electrodes are selectively stimulated based on the determination.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Advanced Bionics AGInventor: Leonid Michael Litvak
