  • Patent number: 12067849
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a wagering system may receive a stream of state information of a live sporting event in real time and determine initial and possible future states of a first performance parameter of the event based on the stream. After a beginning of the game and before the start of the event, a probability of occurrence is calculated for possible future states of the first performance parameter, based on historical data. During an initial state of the first performance parameter, a signal operative to open a first market for betting on the possible future states based on the probability of occurrence is transmitted. Before an end of the initial state, a signal operative to close the first market is transmitted, and then an outcome of the first performance parameter is determined based on the stream. Payouts of the first market are resolved based on the outcome.

  • Patent number: 12067881
    Abstract: Safety for bicyclists while travelling on a road near to certain motor vehicles is achieved through the use of systems and methods that communicate the physical location of the bicyclist in relation to the motor vehicle. The systems and methods allow a bicyclist to generate a “safety bubble” of an exclusion zone set of location coordinates. The motor vehicle is automatically prompted to navigate away from the exclusion zone. The exclusion zone of location coordinates may be generated based on the bicyclist user's preferences, as well as legal data and road data. By drawing from these several parameters, the exclusion zone may be sized and located so as to best meet the bicyclist's need without unduly impacting traffic flow.

  • Patent number: 12067887
    Abstract: A method and system for developing a flight plan for taking images from an area of interest is disclosed. A series of trajectories is determined. Each trajectory is determined based on a logarithmic spiral curve derived from a range of predetermined basis angles and selecting a constant tangent angle between a radial line from the location of an image sensor to a target location, and a tangent line to the logarithmic spiral curve at the location of the image sensor. A set of trajectories from the series of trajectories is selected. The selected trajectories are scaled to cover the area of interest. The selected trajectories are transformed to coordinates corresponding to the area of interest. The set of scaled and transformed trajectories are stored as the flight plan for taking images of the area of interest.

    Abstract: A method of supporting taxi operation of an aircraft with multiple engines is provided. The method includes receiving information indicating a predicted duration of a taxi operation of a flight of the aircraft and weather conditions at the airport and determining whether a reduced-engine taxi operation (RETO) of the aircraft is permitted based on the predicted taxi duration and the weather conditions. When RETO is permitted, the method further includes determining a fuel savings of RETO in which at least a portion of the taxi operation is performed with less than all of the engines running, relative to a normal taxi operation in which the taxi operation is performed with all of the engines running and outputting a recommendation of RETO or normal taxi operation to a display device onboard the aircraft, the recommendation of RETO when the fuel savings is at least a given minimum fuel savings.

  • Patent number: 12067892
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for vocal training. A user's voice is measured and assessed. Personalized attributes about the user are also acquired including goals of the user. Based on measured aspects of a user's voice, and attributes acquired about the user (based on a combination of user-reported data, mechanically-assessed and/or artificial intelligence-determined analysis), (1) a report is generated about the user's vocal quality and ability, and (2) the user is given individualized feedback, lessons, and vocal exercises specific to the user's voice, vocal ability, voice-comfort-zone boundaries, and the user's goals in a scientific manner in the form of a virtual-vocal coach. The techniques and goals may be given to the user in real time, and/or used to generate new exercises and drills. By constantly measuring and scoring a user's progress, an ongoing-overall-voice strategy is generated to help the user meet the user's ongoing vocal-development goals.

  • Patent number: 12067894
    Abstract: This invention describes a 4-dimensional periodic table of elements (4D PT) based on the 4 known quantum numbers of the atom—n (principal), l (azimuthal), m (magnetic) and s (spin)—which determine the 4D Cartesian co-ordinates (n,l,m,s) of a 4-dimensional cubic lattice. Since the four quantum number combinations of each element are unique by Pauli's exclusion principle, each chemical element occupies a different vertex of this lattice and has a unique location in 4D space and hence in the periodic table. The 4D PT of elements extends to chemical molecules and compounds by adding coordinates of individual elements into composite coordinates of molecules and compounds in a larger expansive PT. The higher-dimensional table of elements and compounds can be represented in any digital media or print media as 2D charts or cards. The 4D PT #can be physically built as 3D model kits comprising nodes and connecting struts or 3D blocks or connected 2D panels.
