Patent number: 11978348Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention are provided to generate a plurality of flight trajectories that do not conflict with other aircraft in a local area. Interventions by an air traffic control system help prevent collisions between aircraft, but these interventions can also cause an aircraft to substantially deviate from the pilot's intended flight trajectory, which burns fuels, wastes time, etc. Systems and methods of the present invention can assign a standard avoidance interval to other aircraft in the area such that a pilot's aircraft does not receive an intervention by an air traffic control system. Systems and methods of the present invention also generate a plurality of conflict-free flight trajectories such that a pilot or an automated system may select the most desirable flight trajectory for fuel efficiency, speed, and other operational considerations, etc.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: DOUBLE BLACK AVIATION TECHNOLOGY L.L.C.Inventor: Richard Shay

Patent number: 11368318Abstract: A method for identifying a group of users from a number of users includes receiving, for each user of the number of users, response data including motion data characterizing motion of the user during a prescribed time period occurring after issuance of a challenge to the number of users, processing the motion data of the number of users to identify a first subset of the number of users with substantially matching motion data, and forming the group of users to include the first subset of the number of users.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Robert Cunningham, Richard Shay
