Patent number: 11914583Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a system that utilizes regular expression (regex) to recognize at least portions of characters, words, text, numbers, etc. in a structured or unstructured dataset, any patterns associated therewith, and/or similarities between the determined patterns. In examples, a regex-based pattern recognition platform may receive a dataset and determine whether at least a first regex pattern and a second regex pattern can be identified. The occurrences of the first and second regex patterns and the frequency of those occurrences may reveal something about the dataset itself or any patterns contained therein.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jeremy Edward Goodsitt, Austin Grant Walters, Reza Farivar, Mark Louis Watson, Anh Truong, Galen Rafferty, Vincent Pham

Publication number: 20210089057Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system in an aircraft. The method includes receiving an advance indication of a take-off or landing event to be executed by the aircraft in proximity to a landing area such that the landing area includes an arrangement of a plurality of emitters of electromagnetic radiation. The method further includes, responsive to the receiving, detecting, via a sensor in communication with the computer system, emission states of at least some of the plurality of emitters. In addition, the method includes transforming the detected emission states into an instruction set for the take-off or landing event. The method also includes initiating monitoring of the aircraft relative to the instruction set as the aircraft executes the take-off or landing event in proximity to the landing area.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Applicant: Bell Textron Inc.Inventors: Michael Kevin MCNAIR, Andrew Vincent LOUIS
