Patent number: 11416651Abstract: Systems, methods and program products for administering and modifying a simulation that incorporates the use of biometric data collection and computer-based predictive modeling techniques to reliably identify changes in the stress level of simulation participants while predictively adapting the simulation environment to manage each participants' stress levels within a pre-set or desired range. Each participant may have their biometric data collected and continuously monitored by wearing a computing device comprising biometric sensors, camera systems and audio recording devices. As the participants biometric data changes, the system monitors the participant for changes in stress level and maintains a desired stress level in the participant by modifying the adjustable properties of one or more virtual objects or computer-accessible real physical objects of the simulation environment to increase or decrease the stress level of the simulation on participants.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Melanie E. Roberts, Roslyn I. Hickson, Olivia J. Smith, Manoj Gambhir

Patent number: 11108854Abstract: A computer-implemented method for implementing an overlay network on peer-to-peer network to enable resource allocation that accounts for attributes and statuses of one or more nodes therein is provided. The computer-implemented method includes registering one or more nodes with the overlay network and executing overlay registration routing of the one or more nodes by building a routing table to cause node types to know about each other. Overlay sorting is executed between the node types based on corresponding characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Timothy M.

Patent number: 10319241Abstract: Disclosed is a novel system and method for adjusting a flight path of an aircraft. The method begins with computing a flight path of an aircraft from a starting point to an ending point which incorporates predicted weather effects at different points in space and time. An iterative loop is entered for the flight path. Each of the following steps are performed in the iterative loop. First lift data is accessed from a fine-grain weather model associated with a geographic region of interest. The lift data is data to calculate a force that directly opposes a weight of the aircraft. In addition, lift data is accessed from sensors coupled to the aircraft. The lift data is one or more of 1) thermal data, 2) ridge lift data, 3) wave lift data, 3) convergence lift data, and 4) a dynamic soaring lift data. Numerous embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy M. Lynar, Olivia J.

Publication number: 20170083840Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining a set of data indicating a local condition in a geographic location of a crop to be harvested. A moisture content of the crop to be harvested is estimated, based on the set of data. The moisture content is balanced against at least one economic constraint in order to maximize a monetary value of the crop to be harvested, using an optimization problem. A plan for harvesting the crop to be harvested is generated by solving the optimization problem. The plan includes a recommended window of time within which to harvest the crop to be harvested.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Inventors: TIMOTHY M.
