  • Patent number: 12025026
    Abstract: A ram air turbine rotor comprises at least one intra-flow path shroud structure coupled between rotor blades, along a radial position between a support disc and an outer rim. The shroud structure includes shroud sectors each coupled between a respective pair of blades. The sectors each include a first edge adjacent to leading edges of the respective pair of blades, the first edge including a first curved segment, and a second edge adjacent to trailing edges of the respective pair of blades, the second edge including a second curved segment. The curved segments are each partially defined by a respective ellipse having a semi-major axis and a semi-minor axis. The semi-major axis is a portion of a spanwise distance between the respective pair of blades. The semi-minor axis is a portion of an axial distance between the leading edge of one blade and the trailing edge of an adjacent blade.

  • Patent number: 11087247
    Abstract: Systems and methods of dynamic optimization for data quality control in crowd sourcing tasks to crowd labor are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for dynamically monitoring results received from workers for a task distributed for evaluation via a job distribution platform, incrementally assigning additional workers to the task using the results and continuously monitoring additional results to assign any additional workers if needed to meet a quality metric for the task.

  • Publication number: 20200160250
    Abstract: Systems and methods of a job distribution platform for aggregating performance data in a worker profile for workers in performing crowd sourced tasks are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of generating and storing performance data when a worker performs one or more tasks distributed online to their respective computing devices by a job distribution platform which crowd sources tasks over a network to remote workers. The tasks can span current jobs and a history of previous jobs distributed to the worker and the job performance data for the worker is collected for current and previous jobs. New jobs can be assigned to a worker selected based on performance data of the worker. Other types of worker information may also be tracked and generated for multiple workers in various worker pools (channels), for example, psych questions or other more subjective data collected from a worker or contributor in addition to performance.

  • Patent number: 10282198
    Abstract: Mechanisms to persist object relations are provided. A project is defined as a series of interrelated objects having dependencies and relationships with one another. The dependencies and relationships are maintained via a storage organization for files that define the objects within a project storage environment for the project. Thus, the dependencies and relationships are not maintained via hardcoded instructions or references that are included within the files.

  • Patent number: 9449298
    Abstract: Techniques managing complex dependencies in a file-based team environment are provided. A software module is represented as an object. The object is defined via a file. The file includes relationships, and some of the relationships define dependencies to other objects. In some cases, attributes for the object are also included in the file and are defined via references to still other objects. The relationships and the attributes are carried with the object via the file.

  • Patent number: 8505627
    Abstract: A technique enhances hydrocarbon fluid production. The technique utilizes a well with a plurality of lateral wellbores positioned to facilitate removal of well fluid from a hydrocarbon reservoir. A separator is disposed in the well to receive well fluid that flows from a lateral production leg. Operation of the separator separates well fluid into an oil component and a water component to enable production of the oil component. The water component is injected into the reservoir in a manner that drives well fluid trapped in the reservoir into the lateral production leg.

  • Patent number: 8341190
    Abstract: Mechanisms to support multiple name space aware projects are provided. Multiple roots of a project declare multiple namespacing mechanisms. Resources of the project can utilize each of the multiple namespacing mechanisms. In some cases, a particular resource of the project can override and use a foreign namespace that is associated with a different project hierarchy even while that particular resource resides within a project hierarchy associated with the original project and even while the project hierarchy does not declare, at the root, the foreign namespace.

  • Publication number: 20120216174
    Abstract: Mechanisms to support orphaned and partially configured objects are provided. A project includes a variety of objects. At least one object is designated as an orphaned object. The orphaned object lacks complete configuration details. Other objects of the project depend on the orphaned object and yet the other objects can load and process within the project as if the orphaned object was fully configured and available.

  • Patent number: 8229974
    Abstract: Mechanisms to support fine-grain namespacing are provided. When an object is to be loaded within a processing environment, a specific namespace for that object is dynamically resolved during the load. That namespace can be dynamically resolved via object inheritance, via specific object-attribute declaration, and/or via consultation with a namespace object.
