Abstract: A multi-dimensional file visualizer and chooser allows the user to rapidly and effectively view and select their files. The visualizer and chooser is a computer software application that structures different file types and applies 3D GUI visualization technology to allow users an improved ability to visualize and select the file they are interested in. The specific application provides the ability to maintain context among file sources as well as focus on the specific files being examined and/or selected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new method and system for health monitoring of aircraft landing gear. The system includes sensors that are attached to the landing gear structure and equipment (e.g., one or more of brakes, tires, hydraulics, electrical systems and switches) and analyzed to report and alert personnel such as pilots, maintenance personnel, airline operators, ground crew and regulatory authorities of the health of the landing gear and the potential need for service, maintenance or replacement. The system monitors and reports critical health issues as real-time information which can be analyzed in conjunction with an extensive database of information and used to alert pilots or other relevant personnel to the condition of the landing gear and actions that may be required as a result.
