  • Patent number: 11943355
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for decentralized systems for mitigating climate change are provided. In some embodiments, the compositions comprise: one or more first servers operable to store a plurality of first tokens, wherein each one of the plurality of first tokens is associated with fiscal value; one or more second servers operable to store a plurality of second tokens, wherein each one of the plurality of second tokens corresponds to a unit of voting power; one or more project developer nodes operable to transmit project data corresponding to renewable energy or carbon sequestration; one or more auditor nodes operable to verify an identity, validate credentials, perform a project assessment, generate a smart contract, receive signals, and transmit signals; and one or more steward nodes, wherein each one of the one or more steward nodes is operable to stake tokens for voting power and to distribute voting power.

  • Patent number: 8761970
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for identifying air data for an aircraft. The lift for the aircraft is identified. The number of surface positions for the aircraft is identified. The angle of attack during flight of the aircraft is identified. A synthetic dynamic pressure is computed from the lift, the number of surface positions, and the angle of attack.

  • Patent number: 5710776
    Abstract: A signal selection and fault detection system receives multiple redundant sensor input signals that are processed through an equalizing and selecting network which outputs the midvalue signal. The system provides a variable fault monitoring threshold that provides the ability to detect for oscillatory faults among input signals that are less than 10% of static tracking tolerances for the inputs, while also assuring that nuisance fault detections are very improbable. The system provides a variable equalization rate that assures satisfactory blocking of oscillatory faults under dynamic conditions when signal disagreements are increased by gain tolerances between the input signals, and maintains high signal resolution of the output under such dynamic conditions. The system also provides cross-channel equalization of the selected midvalue signal in all operating channels to assure that all channels provide the same steady state output for only two input operation, while also maximizing fault blocking capability.
