Patent number: 12067890Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2020Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Markus F.

Patent number: 12067892Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2023Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Academy of Voice LLCInventor: Emily Anna Bridges

Patent number: 12067894Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Inventor: Haresh Lalvani
