  • Patent number: 11645594
    Abstract: In an example, a method is performed by a computing system that is one of a group of computing systems involved in facilitating a manufacturing of an aircraft. The method comprises generating a plurality of manufacturing task work statements (MTWSs), each MTWS being associated with a task involved in the manufacturing and comprising smart contract data and computer code. The method also comprises receiving system state information indicating (i) a schedule according to which the aircraft is to be manufactured, (ii) resources available for use in executing the MTWSs, and (iii) one or more aircraft certification requirements with which the tasks involved in the manufacturing of the aircraft are to comply. The method also comprises executing the MTWSs based on the system state information and storing, in a blockchain-based distributed ledger accessible by the group of computing systems, an end state result of the execution of each MTWS.

  • Patent number: 9998919
    Abstract: A method for establishing credentials for securing text message communications. The method includes receiving, at a text messaging hub executing at a server device, a text message from a user, the text message being directed to a service number and including (1) a user number and (2) a request to establish a secure credential for communicating with a text messaging application. The method also includes transmitting, by the text messaging hub executing at the server device, an initiation message to the user, the initiation message includes a user-specific system number to which the user is to direct future text messages.

  • Patent number: 9665817
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can receive, at a computing device, a uniform resource locator (URL) for a web page and an image. A number of pixels corresponding to a desired resolution for encoding the image is determined and the image is converted to a modified image having the desired resolution. The technique can then generate a two-dimensional barcode by: (i) generating first data representative of the modified image, (ii) appending the first data to either an end of the URL to obtain a first modified URL or after a terminator bit of the two-dimensional barcode, (iii) generating second data representative of the second modified URL or the URL, and (iv) generating third data representative of an error correction code (ECC) based on the first data and the second data, wherein the two-dimensional barcode is generated based on the first data, the second data, and the third data.

  • Patent number: 9551790
    Abstract: A method including placing first and second measurement devices proximate first and second aircraft doors, respectively, and determining a first position of the second measurement device relative to a second position of the first measurement device. The method includes placing first and second pluralities of reflective devices inside the aircraft proximate the first and second doors, respectively. The method includes measuring first and second distances from the first and second measurement devices to the first and second pluralities of reflective devices, respectively, and measuring second distances from the second measurement device to the second plurality of reflective devices. Based on a determined position of the second measurement device and further based on the first distances and second distances, third distances are determined between each of the first and second pluralities of reflective devices. The third distances provide a measurement baseline for points on a fuselage and wings.

  • Patent number: 9286887
    Abstract: A method and apparatus derive a dynamic grammar composed of a subset of a plurality of data elements that are each associated with one of a plurality of reference identifiers. The present invention generates a set of selection identifiers on the basis of a user-provided first input identifier and determines which of these selection identifiers are present in a set of pre-stored reference identifiers. The present invention creates a dynamic grammar that includes those data elements that are associated with those reference identifiers that are matched to any of the selection identifiers. Based on a user-provided second identifier and on the data elements of the dynamic grammar, the present invention selects one of the reference identifiers in the dynamic grammar.

  • Patent number: 9177238
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can receive, at a computing device, a uniform resource locator (URL) for a web page and a plurality of images. A number of pixels corresponding to a desired resolution for encoding the images determined and the images are converted to modified images having the desired resolution. The technique can then generate an animated two-dimensional barcode using a plurality of two-dimensional barcodes generated for the plurality of images, respectively. A specific two-dimensional barcode can be generated by: generating first data representative of the modified image and appending the first data to either an end of the URL to obtain a first modified URL or after a terminator bit of the two-dimensional barcode. The two-dimensional barcode can then be generated using the first and second data and third data representative of an error correction code (ECC) and that is based on the first data and the second data.

  • Publication number: 20140250048
    Abstract: A relational event history is determined based on a data set, the relational event history. Data is populated in a probability model based on the relational event history, where the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, where the set of sequential decisions includes at least two decisions as to recipients of a relational event, where the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics that relate to one or more of senders, modes, topics, or recipients of relational events. A baseline communications behavior for the relational event history is determined based on the populated probability model, the baseline including a first set of values for the one or more statistical parameters, and departures within the relational event history from the baseline communications behavior are determined.

  • Patent number: 8058266
    Abstract: The present invention describes linking a therapeutic agent to a compound which is known to be naturally concentrated in a tissue affected by, or that is causing, a disease, to create a prodrug for treatment of the disease. Embodiments of the present invention include a new class of carotenoid-linked drugs to treat such blinding retinal disease such as age-related macular degeneration, retinoblastoma, and diabetic macular edema. For example, the present invention comprises a method for the treatment of a disorder of the eye comprising linking a therapeutic agent to a xanthophyll carotenoid to create a prodrug, and administering a therapeutically effective amount of the prodrug to an individual in need of treatment. Provided are prodrugs for treatment of retinoblastoma, cystoid macular edema (CME), exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, or inflammatory disorders.
