Publication number: 20240140349Abstract: An assembly includes a dash and a deployable panel supported by the dash. The deployable panel is moveable relative to the dash from an undeployed position to a deployed position. The deployable panel has a proximal end at the dash in the deployed position and a distal end spaced above the dash in the deployed position. An airbag is supported by the dash and is inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag abuts the deployable panel when the deployable panel is in the deployed position and the airbag is in the inflated position. A tether extends from the airbag to the deployable panel in the undeployed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Eric Axel Smitterberg, Russell Joseph Mihm, Johnathan Andrew Line, Chuck R.

Patent number: 11932387Abstract: A tailsitter aircraft includes an airframe, a thrust array attached to the airframe and a flight control system. The thrust array includes propulsion assemblies configured to transition the airframe from a forward flight orientation to a VTOL orientation at a conversion rate for an approach to a target ground location in a forward flight-to-VTOL transition phase. The flight control system implements an adaptive transition system including a transition parameter monitoring module configured to monitor parameters including a ground speed and a distance to the target ground location. The adaptive transition system includes a transition adjustment determination module configured to adjust the conversion rate of the airframe from the forward flight orientation to the VTOL orientation based on the ground speed and the distance to the target ground location such that the airframe is vertically aligned with the target ground location in the VTOL orientation of the forward flight-to-VTOL transition phase.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Textron Innovations Inc.Inventors: John Robert Wittmaak, Jr., Russell C.

Patent number: 10885475Abstract: A method and system may provide automated passenger seat assignment procedures for an airline. A server device may determine passengers for a departing flight who are eligible to receive seat assignment notifications. When an eligible passenger is next in a standby or upgrade queue, the server device may transmit an electronic communication such as an email, short message service (SMS) message, push notification, etc., to the passenger's network-enabled device. The electronic communication may indicate that a seat assignment is available and may provide instructions for accepting or declining the available seat assignment. If the user accepts, for example, by transmitting an electronic reply message to the server device accepting the available seat assignment, the server device may transmit an electronic boarding pass to the user corresponding to the available seat assignment.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: UNITED AIRLINES, INC.Inventors: Adam Lang, Russell Robert Grigg, Susan Wright-Mckeever

Patent number: 10114369Abstract: A method for determining if an individual integrated circuit was manufactured using an individual instance of tooling includes collecting from the individual integrated circuit first data representing at least one attribute that varies as a function of the tooling used to manufacture the individual integrated circuit and second data identifying the integrated circuit as having been manufactured using the individual instance of tooling. The first data is compared to a signature of the individual instance of tooling identified by the second data. The signature is derived from the at least one attribute measured from a population of integrated circuits that were manufactured using the individual instance of tooling. The individual integrated circuit is identified as having been manufactured using the individual instance of tooling identified in the second data collected from the individual integrated circuit if the first data correlates to the signature by a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: MICROSEMI SOC CORPORATIONInventors: G.
