Publication number: 20150381927Abstract: Systems, methods and computer storage mediums reduce an amount of data captured by a plurality of sensors on a vehicle that is streamed to an operator of the vehicle. Embodiments relate to processing the real-time data captured by the plurality of sensors so that required real-time data that is necessary for the operator to adequately monitor the target area is streamed in real-time to the operator while discarding the unnecessary real-time data. The discarded real-time data is replaced by a three-dimensional virtual model that is a virtual representation of the target area. The three-dimensional virtual model is generated based on previously captured data of the target area. The processed real-time data required by the operator is integrated into the three-dimensional virtual model. The processed real-time data that is integrated into the three-dimensional virtual model is streamed to the operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2014Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventors: Chad Lee MOURNING, Scott Larson NYKL

Publication number: 20140136110Abstract: A computer method for determining potential wake turbulence by a first aircraft from wake generated by a second aircraft. The computer method includes receiving a signal generated by the second aircraft at the first aircraft and transforming the signal to a first wake turbulence boundary that represents the wake generated by the second aircraft. An intersection volume, which is representative of a zone of dangerous turbulence interactions, is selected for the first aircraft. Based on a determination of intersection between the first wake turbulence boundary and the intersection volume, issuing a warning flag if an intersection exists or continue generating the first wake turbulence boundary and determining whether interactions exist.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2012Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: OHIO UNIVERSITYInventors: Scott Larson Nykl, Chad Lee Mourning

Publication number: 20090180149Abstract: A computer-implemented service is provided to generate a high-resolution digital image data file suitable for creating a large format item in which the digital image is imbued in an object. A user interacts with a configuration application program to determine configuration parameters for the high-resolution digital image data file. A representation (such as a low-resolution image) is displayed, to the user, of what would result if a high-resolution digital representation of an actual scene is adjusted in view of the at least one configuration parameter. Once the user has completed determination of the configuration parameters, the high-resolution digital image data file is generated from digital image data that is the high-resolution digital representation of an actual scene, adjusted in view of the at least one configuration parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Applicant: FRESCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Jonathan Drake, Scott Larson

Publication number: 20080300982Abstract: Embodiments are directed to enabling the exchange of online favors. In one embodiment, the system may include a client device connected via a network to a favor management platform. The favor management platform may include a favor management server, web server, billing server, and an advertisement server. A user may enter information detailing a favor to be asked or to be offered. The user further may specify the reward for the favor, including non-monetary rewards, such as good will. The user also specifies whom to send the request or offer for the favor. The favor management server generates favor page, with the set of contacts. A notification message regarding the favor page is sent to the set of specified contacts. Once received, a contact may view the favor page, providing comments and/or responses. The user may provide the reward to a contact(s) that satisfy the favor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2008Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: FriendlyFavor, Inc.Inventors: L.
