Patent number: 11866199Abstract: Systems and methods for interlining checked bags between two unaffiliated airlines. The traveler may purchase the interlining service and be assured that the checked bags associated with that service will be automatically transferred from their first flight to their next flight. The traveler does not have to collect the checked bag, and then re-check it onto the second flight, which may allow a traveler to say with in the security zone of the airport, where permitted by airport flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Air Black Box Technologies LLCInventors: Nicholas Hance, Andrew Bliesner, Timothy O'Neil-Dunne

Publication number: 20220374787Abstract: A virtual passenger service system may aggregate inventory data from various vendors by interfacing with the passenger service system of each vendor. The inventory data may be maintained in an in-memory, graph-based cache in which the inventory data is represented as a collection of interconnected nodes corresponding to airports, departure dates, airlines, flights, and arrival dates. To prevent data decay, contents in the cache may be refreshed on-demand and in accordance with a dynamically determined schedule. Interline itineraries generated by searching the cache may be refined based on vendor specific pricing, routing, and fare construction rules. The virtual passenger service system may include a machine learning model to support the dynamic pricing of interline itineraries. The virtual passenger service system may further support the partial modification of an interline itinerary, which may be realized without canceling and rebooking the interline itinerary in its entirety.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Matthew Ghourdjian, Hussein Sleiman, Sowjanya Kaligineedi, Priyanka Namburu, Bishistha Shrestha, Hoang Nguyen, Timothy O'Neil-Dunne

Publication number: 20210065001Abstract: A system and method is provided for assessing similarity between audio files, such as music files. The system converts test audio files and training audio files from a first format to a second format that includes audio metric identifiers. The system further generates training a graph database and a test graph database using associations between a first set of converted training or test files and a second set of training or test files. The training graph database is used to train a neural network. The neural network generates a set of associations between the first and second sets of the test audio files as part of creating a neural graph database. The system compares the test graph database to the neural graph database to assess a similarity that is used to update the neural network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2020Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Zachary Miller-Frankel, Neil Dunne

Patent number: 9904964Abstract: Disclosed is a process and system for solving the problem of presenting users aligned travel products from disparate or aligned sources in a single user interface. The system packages travel products by alignment or combination from disparate or un-aligned data sources, driven by the system capability to utilize a configurable logic instruction system incorporated into a database and user interface management platform, which configured to align individual travel product element data types and attributes as well as bundled travel product data types and attributes. In various embodiments configurable logic instructions are created for individual target airlines to capture the explicit and implicit mechanisms by which an individual airline present travel products to users by the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Inventors: Timothy O'Neil-Dunne, Paul Addy

Patent number: 9790708Abstract: A magnetic self-latching device for a gate has a main body with handles on either side for operation or has an arrangement to be remotely actuated. A latching body has a high strength magnet usually provided at the bottom of a cavity which defines a latching shoulder. The latching body is adapted to be fixed to a gate post. The main body, with its housing, can be mounted on the gate frame and incorporates a latch pin which, in the door-closed position, is displaced by magnetic attraction to an extended latching position and against the biasing of a return spring. The gate cannot be opened until actuation of the mechanism occurs, for example by rotating a handle to retract the pin against the magnetic force; the gate can then be swung open. When the handle is released, the biasing spring retains the latch pin in a retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2008Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: D & D Group Pty. Ltd.Inventors: Anthony John Clark, Neil Dunne

Publication number: 20080296915Abstract: A magnetic self-latching device for a gate has a main body with handles on either side for operation or has an arrangement to be remotely actuated, for example electrically. A latching body has a high strength magnet usually provided at the bottom of a cavity which defines a latching shoulder. The latching body is adapted to be fixed to a gate post. The main body, with its housing, can be mounted on the gate frame and incorporates a latch pin which, in the door-closed position, is displaced by magnetic attraction to an extended latching position and against the biasing of a return spring.

Publication number: 20050210938Abstract: A self-latching device is disclosed which is arranged to latch, in a predetermined position, two members which are otherwise movable relative to each other such as a hinged gate. The device comprises a latch arm having a latch element and a manual actuator mounted on one of the members and which is movable between a latched and a retracted position, by upward manual displacement of the actuator, and a retaining element incorporating a permanent magnet mounted on the other member. The latch arm is spring biased into the retracted position but, when in the predetermined position, is caused to move by the magnetic field generated by the magnetic into the latched position wherein any substantial relative movement of the two members is prevented by the latch arm engaging the retaining element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2004Publication date: September 29, 2005Inventors: David Doyle, Neil Dunne, David Calabria, Anthony Clark

Patent number: 6095713Abstract: The present invention relates to engagemnent devices and coupling members for forming a structural frame work for hollow tubes. One form of engagement device comprises a hollow sleeve (1) through which a tube (31) may be passed. The hollow sleeve has a deformable flared portion (2). A further hollow sleeve member (12) is immovable on the outside of the first sleeve and has a surface (13) arranged to co-operate the flared portion to cause it to deform to grip the tube (31). A further engagement device comprises a hollow sleeve portion (100) which is distendable to grip a tube mounted on its surface. A trustoconical wedge (101) is movable within the hollow sleeve potion (100) to cause to distend. A number of engagement devices may be connected together to form coupling members for connecting tubes to form a structural frame work.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1994Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: D & D Group Pty LtdInventors: David Doyle, Neil Dunne, Mark Cumming

Patent number: 5584100Abstract: The hinge comprises a first hinge member (11) and a second hinge member (12). The first hinge member comprises a cylindrical housing (16) having first and second open ends (17 and 18 respectively). The cylindrical housing (16) is located between flange members (26 and 27) of the second hinge member (12). A torsion spring (20) is provided inside the cylindrical housing (16) and one end (21) fits into a recess (22) at end (18) of the cylindrical housing (16) and the other end fits into a recess (36) in a coupling element (30) which is located at the other end (17) of the cylindrical housing (16). The coupling element (30) has a hexagonal engagement surface (39) which engages a matching engagement surface in flange (27).Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1994Date of Patent: December 17, 1996Inventors: David Doyle, Neil Dunne, Mark Cumming
