  • Patent number: 12631433
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for rotational alignment of platform sections. An aeronautical platform implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a first section; a second section comprising a threaded interface; and a threaded retainer disposed around an end of the first section, that is be coupled to the second section. The threaded retainer is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the first section while rotationally advancing into the threaded interface of the second section. The platform also includes a plurality of alignment pins disposed on the end of the first section and a plurality of alignment holes disposed on the second section. Each of the alignment pins is configured to engage with a corresponding one of the alignment holes to maintain alignment of the first section to the second section as the threaded retainer rotationally advances into the threaded interface.

  • Patent number: 12596978
    Abstract: Through a workflow interface, a document management system enables a user to establish a document workflow. The document workflow establishes a set of document actions for the document management system to perform automatically in response to a request from the user. The user defines the document workflow by selecting from a set of workflow operations and specifying parameters for the selected workflow operation. The user additionally defines an approval workflow operation and a rejection workflow operation that designate document actions in the event that a document is approved or rejected, respectively. The document management system performs at least a portion of the document workflow in an order determined from the workflow interface.

  • Patent number: 12123860
    Abstract: A characteristic of edible oil may be evaluated using a spectrometer. For example, optical reflectance data may be obtained from edible oil in situ in a frying apparatus housing the edible oil, the reflectance data corresponding to a specified range of infra-red wavelengths. A model profile corresponding to the characteristic being assessed may be obtained, such as from a repository housing a secured library of such profiles. The model profile may define a regression vector for use in transforming the reflectance data to generate a value corresponding to the characteristic being assessed. A criterion may be applied to the value to establish a simplified representation of the characteristic for presentation to a user for assessment of oil quality.

  • Publication number: 20240119452
    Abstract: There is disclosed a platform for providing an idle partition of a material extraction claim of a producer to multiple investors. The producer may operate according to differentiating practices with respect to conventional mines. This differentiation may be certifiable through third party metadata. The partition may be scheduled for future production on a material extraction date. The platform may include a transaction processor for processing transactions, a distributed ledger network (DLN) comprising multiple computational nodes connected to the transaction processor, and a producer ledger identically storing the transactions on all of the nodes. At least one digital material unit may be assigned to an investor in exchange for purchasing the future production of the idle partition.
