Publication number: 20220057214Abstract: Flight control systems, flight control methods, and aircraft navigation systems and methods are provided. A method for estimating a sound level at a geographical location including determining, by an aircraft navigational processor, an initial navigational route, estimating, by the aircraft navigational processor, the sound level at the geographical location in response to a first sound pressure wave estimated to be generated by the aircraft at a first point along the initial navigational route and a second sound pressure wave generated by the aircraft at a second point along the initial navigational route, determining, by the aircraft navigational processor, an alternate navigational route in response to the sound level exceeding a noise limit at the geographical location, and displaying, by a user interface, the alternate navigational route and an alert indicative of the sound level exceeding the noise limit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2020Publication date: February 24, 2022Applicant: Gulfstream Aerospace CorporationInventors: Robert O'Dell, Robert Cowart

Patent number: 10164868Abstract: A physical host executes a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that instantiates a source virtual machine (VM). In response to the VMM receiving from the source VM a packet specifying a first destination address of a destination VM and a second destination address of a default gateway, the VMM determines whether the packet can be communicated to the destination VM without the packet being routed by the default gateway. In response to the VMM determining that the packet can be communicated to the destination VM without the packet being routed by the default gateway, the VMM forwards the packet to the destination VM such that the packet bypasses routing by the default gateway.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Cowart, David Hadas, Daniel J. Martin, Bruce Ratcliff, Renato Recio

Patent number: 9878778Abstract: A system for controlling a pressure field around an aircraft in flight is disclosed herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, the system includes, but is not limited to, a plurality of pressure sensors that are arranged on the aircraft to measure the pressure field. The system further includes, but is not limited to, a controller that is communicatively coupled with the plurality of pressure sensors. The controller is configured to receive information that is indicative of the pressure field from the plurality of pressure sensors. The controller is also configured to determine when the pressure field deviates from a desired pressure field based on the information. The controller is also configured to transmit an instruction to a movable component onboard the aircraft that will cause the movable component to move in a manner that reduces the deviation.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Gulfstream Aerospace CorporationInventors: Timothy Conners, Michael Knight, Robert Cowart

Publication number: 20090070463Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for performing preliminary cause-based classification of events in a computer or networked computer system. Methods are provided in which, based on an event message, cause-based preliminary classification of an associated event is performed. The result of the preliminary classification is used to facilitate subsequent cause-based analysis, such as root cause analysis, relating to the event. Methods are provided in which preliminary classification is performed using a database including a catalog associating event messages with appropriate preliminary classifications of events associated with the event messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Cowart, Ray Jenkins
