  • Patent number: 12177528
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing a search result based on an ambiguous voice query. The system comprises receiving an ambiguous voice query relating to an object from a user, retrieving a viewing history of the user for about a list of media assets viewed by the user, determining, from the list of media asset, a media asset that is likely to contain the object based at least in part on metadata of the media asset and the ambiguous voice query, searching content of the determined media asset to identify a segment within the media asset that contains the object, and generating a display of information about the object identified from the segment.

  • Publication number: 20240286762
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an aircraft structural component for an aircraft includes providing a component precursor with a web and a flange. The web has a length, height shorter than the length, thickness shorter than the height, first end proximal to the flange and second end distal from the flange. A force is applied to the component precursor with a magnitude varying along the web height from a minimum at one of the first and second ends to a maximum at another of the first and second ends to increase length of the web to different extents. Then shaping the component precursor includes curving the component precursor into a curved shape having a first radius of curvature at the one of the first and second ends and a second radius of curvature at the another of the first and second ends, the second radius of curvature greater than the first.

  • Publication number: 20240286763
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an aircraft structural component for an aircraft includes providing a component precursor with a web and a flange extending from the web, wherein the web has a length, a height which is shorter than the length, a thickness which is shorter than the height, a first end proximal to the flange and a second end distal from the flange, applying tension to the component precursor in a direction parallel to the length of the web and with a magnitude that varies along the height of the web so as to increase the length of the web to different extents between the first end of the web and the second end of the web, sectioning the component precursor, and releasing the tension to allow shaping of the component precursor into a form required for the aircraft structural component.

  • Publication number: 20240166326
    Abstract: An aircraft structural component includes a flange having a non-planar side and a web having a first end extending from the non-planar side of the flange and a second end distal from the first end and from the non-planar side of the flange wherein the web has a non-planar shape that deviates from a plane normal to the non-planar side of the flange and extending in a longitudinal direction of the aircraft structural component, so that a deviation of the non-planar shape of the web from the plane increases with distance along the web in a direction from one of the first and second ends to the other of the first and second ends, and so that the deviation extends over at least 10 cm of a length of the aircraft structural component.
