  • Publication number: 20250131833
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for optimizing air traffic control managing using a Quantum Annealing-based iterative path planning technique and algorithm that involves both classical and quantum computation components. The classical component can calculate the distances between aircraft and the target destination from a set of new, possible properties, such as aircraft location. The quantum component can select from the new, possible properties to minimize the distance of the aircraft to the target destination while ensuring adequate separation between aircraft. The algorithm can utilize qubits to represent maneuverability options for aircraft. The maneuverability options may be partitioned into a set of multiple qubits per aircraft. Each set may include a plurality of qubits that are representative of the sub options. The algorithm can utilize Quadratic Unconstrained Boolean Optimization (QUBO) to find the lowest cost-energy maneuverability option.

  • Publication number: 20250130908
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for storing operational information related to operation of a non-volatile array are described. For example, the operational information may be stored in a in a subarray of a memory array for use in analyzing errors in the operation of memory array. In some examples, an array driver may be located between a command decoder and a memory array. The array driver may receive a signal pattern used to execute an access instruction for accessing non-volatile memory cells of a memory array and may access the first set of non-volatile memory cells according to the signal pattern. The array driver may also store the access instruction (e.g., the binary representation of the access instruction) at a non-volatile subarray of the memory array.

  • Patent number: 12276628
    Abstract: A device for measuring conductivity of a fluid. The device including a chamber and at least two electrodes. The chamber includes an inlet, an outlet, an upper surface, and a lower surface that runs separate from the upper surface. The fluid enters the chamber through the inlet and flows out of the chamber through the outlet. Moving along a length of the chamber from the inlet to the outlet or from the outlet to the inlet, a distance between the upper surface and the lower surface changes in at least one dimension of the chamber. The two electrodes are configured to measure electrical voltage in the fluid that enters the chamber through the inlet and flows out of the chamber through the outlet.

  • Patent number: 12269591
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for path planning for UAVs. A set of UAVs is logically arranged into a plurality of swarms, each having a swarm-leader UAV. A first path planning algorithm is applied to determine navigation instructions to steer the swarm-leader UAVs towards respective destinations for the swarms and to deconflict the swarm-leader UAVs from one another. A set of second path planning algorithms is applied to determine navigation instructions to steer non-swarm-leader UAVs in each swarm toward their respective swarm leaders and to deconflict the UAVs from other UAVs in the swarm. Separate QUBO path planning algorithms may be used for the first path planning algorithm and the set of second path planning algorithms. If merging criteria for combining two swarms are met, a single QUBO may be used to control all non-swarm-leader UAVs in merged swarms.

  • Patent number: 12253367
    Abstract: A navigation system can identify locations of interest at a route destination. Those locations of interest at the destination can fall within a predetermined distance of the destination or those that are responsive to a query that includes the destination as a parameter. The navigation system can receive a selection of an identified location of interest near the destination, and update a route to terminate at the identified location of interest rather than the original destination. Information identifying the origin and destination for the route can be collected at a first user device and the route can be displayed at a second user device. Additional information is then received from the first user device (such as a selection of an identified location of interest near the destination). This additional information received at the first user device is used to update the route that is displayed on the second user device.

  • Publication number: 20250083071
    Abstract: A tank recirculation assembly comprising a recirculation line that draws fluid from the lower portion of a tank; and a pump that directs the recirculated fluid vertically toward and into the upper portion of the tank. The assembly comprises piping, pumping process and/or nozzles that spray the recirculated fluid across the surface oil inside of the tank. Recirculation is incorporated to enhance the recovery of more and cleaner oil by spraying as much of the surface area of the oil recovery zone to keep it clean. The then dispersed fluid travels down through the pad and reacts to help disperse and remove the interface that conglomerates in between the oil and water interface.

  • Publication number: 20250001496
    Abstract: The nozzles of a MHD liquid metal ejector/printhead can be clogged by contaminants in the liquid metal. Typically, these contaminants are in the form of small particles of aggregates of particles, such as metal oxides, that are insoluble in the liquid metal. Possible cleaning methods include mechanically removing the clogging material, such as by using a physical device to dislodge the clogging material and remove it; chemically removing the clogging material, such as by using selected chemicals/flux to chemically react with the clogging material; using ultrasound to break/remove the clogging material; and providing reversed and/or oscillating flow of material through the nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20240403942
    Abstract: The techniques, methods, systems, and other mechanisms described herein include processes for determining if customized content should be generated, what information to include in the customized content, and when to provide the customized content. In general, a computing system determines that a user intends to travel to a physical venue. The computing system can determine if an entity associated with the physical venue has a web page. The computing system can determine various aspects of a predicted route of travel from the user's present location to the physical venue. The computing system can use location information indicating the user's current location and determine one or more routes of travel to the physical venue. The computing system can compare one or more determined aspects of the predicted route to threshold values to determine if customized content should be generated and presented to the user.
