  • Patent number: 11994409
    Abstract: A computing device is provided comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions are executable to receive a raw aviation information notice that comprises text. A text language analysis model is used to extract metadata from the raw aviation information notice. The metadata comprises aviation operation information that describes a status of a component of an airspace system. Geospatial aviation data is received that corresponds to the component of the airspace system. The aviation operation information is mapped to the geospatial aviation data to thereby generate geometry data for the aviation operation information. The geometry data and the metadata are used to generate an enriched aviation information notice. The instructions are further executable to output the enriched aviation information notice.

  • Patent number: 5512917
    Abstract: An obscuring system for an aircraft gyroscopic instrument includes a liquid crystal light valve constructed so as to be transparent when not powered and opaque when effectively energized. Independent means for energizing the instrument may include a source of electric power or means responsive to gaseous pressure. An electric transformer is arranged so as to energize the liquid crystal light valve in response to a system fault on demand by the user to render the liquid crystal light valve opaque.
