Publication number: 20260028134Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for data intelligence based aircraft parameter adjustment in association with parabolic flight. Embodiments include receiving records of one or more completed flights, the records including temporal relationships among: velocity values; inputs that were provided to an aircraft control system; and pitch values. Embodiments include training a machine learning model based on the records to output an indication of a control system input to achieve a target pitch change when provided with velocity data and pitch data. Embodiments include using the machine learning model to determine an input to provide to a control system of an aircraft when a given velocity value and a given pitch value are detected. The control system of the aircraft may manipulate a control surface based on the input after detecting the given velocity value and the given pitch value during execution of a parabolic maneuver by the aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2025Publication date: January 29, 2026Inventor: Robert WARD

Publication number: 20200214799Abstract: An intra-oral simultaneous bilateral inter arch isolation appliance features a generally W-shaped body having first and second cheek retractor wings, and first and second transitions respectively joining the cheek retractor wings to a tongue crib of generally U-shaped configuration with an open posterior end. In a patient worn position, each cheek retractor wing runs buccally along a respective half of a patient's dental arches to retract and isolate buccal mucosa, while the transitions curve posteriorly around the rear molars between the maxillary tuberosity and retromolar pad to carry the tongue crib inside the dental arches, where it shields and isolates the tongue. Commissure cradles at anterior ends of the cheek retractor wings hook around the patient's oral commissures at terminal ends of the appliance. Inner passageways within the body accommodate fluid extraction and/or light transmission through the appliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Randeep Chana, Robert Ward
