Abstract: A method includes selecting a landing waypoint on a runway and selecting a starting waypoint based on a location/heading of an aircraft relative to the runway. The method includes selecting additional waypoints between the starting waypoint and the landing waypoint. The starting and additional waypoints include latitude, longitude, and altitude variables. A sequence of waypoints from the starting waypoint to the landing waypoint via the additional waypoints indicates a desired location for the aircraft to traverse. The method includes generating location constraints for the starting and additional waypoints and generating an objective function for optimizing at least one of the variables. Additionally, the method includes generating a solution for the objective function subject to the location constraints. The solution includes latitude, longitude, and altitude values for the variables.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to methods and systems for the timely processing of records exchanged between service provider systems and responsible entity systems by a records management and processing system. More specifically, the records management and processing system can maintain a set of rules defining conditions for processing records and associated actions to affect that processing upon satisfaction of or failure to satisfy the conditions of that rule. Updates to some or all of these records can be received from a data update service. The records management and processing system can apply the rules to the records and assign tags to the records based on the received update information and the conditions defined in the applied rules. The records management and processing system can then process the updated records according to workflows for processing the updated records based on the assigned tags and applied rules.

The assembly includes a scratch post, wherein the scratch post includes a proximal end attached to the mounting plate, wherein the proximal end includes a proximal surface formed to fit against the post-facing surface and a third attachment mechanism that attaches to the second attachment mechanism, a distal end opposite the proximal end and facing away from the vertical surface, a support structure connecting the proximal end to the distal end, and a fibrous covering coating the support structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to provide a linguistic-based approach to evaluating repetition in content of an electronic document. The approach of the present disclosure is about detecting terms/words/phrases that are likely to be perceived as being repetitious by native speakers of a language rather than just identifying the occurrence of identical words or strings in a document as done by traditional language checks. Processing of the present disclosure detects and evaluates terms or phrases using positive linguistic evidence derived from evaluation of linguistic relationships between words in a string in syntactic ways. This results in more accurate and efficient determination as to whether a term is truly repetitious at the linguistic level as compared with traditional language checks.

Abstract: An editor service receives a textual input. The editor service provides the textual input to a rule-based grammar checker to obtain a grammar checker result. The editor service also provides the textual input to a machine learning (ML) fluency model that checks the textual input for errors and provides a ML model result. The editor service aggregates the grammar checker result and the ML model result and generates an editor service output based upon the aggregated results. A representation of the editor service result is provided to the client computing system for surfacing through a user interface.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a display and an avoidance system. The avoidance system is configured to determine a first predicted trajectory of the aircraft, determine a second predicted trajectory of an additional aircraft, and determine a conflict zone volume based on an intersection between the first predicted trajectory and the second predicted trajectory. The conflict zone volume indicates a predicted volume of airspace in which the aircraft and the additional aircraft experience a loss of separation. The avoidance system is configured to render a conflict zone on the display based on the conflict zone volume. The rendered conflict zone graphically represents the conflict zone volume on the display.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamic contact ingestion are described. A system may interpret a voice command received from a first device based on contact data or other information associated with a second device connected to the first device. For example, when a data connection is made between the first device and the second device, the first device may receive the contact data and send the contact data to a remote system. The remote system may temporarily associate the contact data with the first device, enabling the remote system to interpret a voice command received from the first device using the contact data. The remote system may use the contact data to perform disambiguation, enabling the remote system to initiate outbound calls, announce inbound calls, and/or the like. When the second device is disconnected from the first device, the remote system may remove the association between the contact data and the first device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing recorded data from one recording device, or a subset of recording devices to identify redactions that should be made to the recorded data. The identified redactions may be in accordance with a redaction policy. The identified redactions may be applied to recorded data recorded by other devices that recorded data the same incident. The redactions may be made to recorded data that was not analyzed prior to performing the redactions, so the redactions identified in one recorded data are performed in other recorded data that was not used to identify the types of redactions that should be made. Applying redactions to data that was not analyzed to determine what types of redactions should be made reduces the amount of time required to analyze recorded data for redaction.
