Abstract: Training a compressive encoder is provided. The method comprises calculating a difference between a current state of an aircraft and a previous state. The current state comprises a reduced state wherein the value of a specified parameter is missing. The difference is input into compressive layers of a neural network comprising an encoder.

The current state and learned value are concurrently fed into hidden layers of a fully connected neural network comprising a decoder. An action applied to the aircraft is input into the hidden layers concurrently with the current state and learned value. The hidden layers, according to the current state, learned value, and current action, determine a residual output that comprises an incremental difference in the state of the aircraft resulting from the current action.

Abstract: Methods and controllers manage battery capacities of two or more portable power station (PPS) units connected together in a parallel arrangement to produce a total output current, wherein a first PPS unit operates as a voltage source and each of a second or more PPS unit operates as a current source. Each PPS unit communicates with a battery capacity controller (BCC) wherein each PPS transmits a battery capacity measure to the BCC at selected time intervals.

The BCC transmits a control coefficient to each of the second or more PPS units corresponding to the determined amount of output current to be produced by each of the second or more PPS units.
