Abstract: A method and process of an optimized, derivational risk-based air traffic control system state capitalizing on data exchange and interactive surveillance modalities with satellite functionality. Data interrogation will exchange operationally relevant real-time information amongst users and regulators, and a computer complex wherein data exchanges accumulate for application of risk model criterion and sovereign requirements. The risk model compares optimization of the system state with current state and communicated intent, making value judgments concerning safety and efficiency of the system as a whole and at intervals over time. Intuitive localization “swabs” reflecting collision potential, upset potential and other risks associated with any operation of air traffic control objects, manifest this.

Abstract: A method and process redefining the air traffic control system-state into a derivational, optimized air traffic control environment capitalizing on data exchange and interactive surveillance modalities with satellite functionality is disclosed. Data interrogation will exchange operationally relevant real-time information amongst users and regulators, and a computer complex. Defined Interval (DI) logic makes value judgments concerning safety and efficiency of the system as a whole. The DI risk model compares optimization with current state and communicated intent. Intuitive localizations called “swabs” reflecting the risk associated with any operation manifest this. Solution sets are transmitted for implementation to the pilot, controller, or both, and may be spacing tasks or operational requirements that must be performed within defined boundaries, instead of at fixed separation distances as is required by prior art methods.

Abstract: A suspension for an automatic clothes washer tub which supports the clothes container, agitator and driving mechanism, comprises a combination skate and rocking support device, the machine frame supporting the device for horizontal movement and the device supporting the tub for rocking movements. Connection of the tub with the device is effected by means of oblique cooperating surfaces on the tub support structure and on the device in generally pyramidal orientation and providing substantial stability for the tub in normal operation of the machine. Biasing means between the tub and the frame normally biases the tub and the device toward an equilibrium position.
