20090292405 | WING-BODY LOAD ALLEVIATION FOR AIRCRAFT - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for symmetric and anti-symmetric control of aircraft flight control surfaces to reduce wing-body loads. Commands are sent to symmetrically deploy outboard control surfaces to shift wing air-loads inboard based on airplane state and speed brake deployment. Surface rate retraction on a wing with peak loads is limited to reduce maximum loads due to wheel checkback accompanied by utilization of opposite wing control surfaces to retain roll characteristics. Airloads are shifted inboard on a swept wing to move the center of pressure forward, thereby reducing the tail load required to perform a positive gravity maneuver. In a negative gravity maneuver, speed brakes are retracted, thereby reducing the positive tail load and reducing the aft body design loads. High gain feedback commands are filtered from wing structural modes above one hertz by a set of linear and non-linear filters. | 11-26-2009 |

20120214451 | Remote Application Installation and Control for a Mobile Device - In many cases, it is desirable to remotely install a software application on a mobile device that performs a function without requiring user intervention on the device, such as in the case where a device is lost or stolen. In one embodiment, a method implemented on the mobile device after installation of the software includes: determining an identifier for a computing device associated with the user; performing a function of the mobile device to obtain information regarding the mobile device; and sending the information for delivery to the computing device using the identifier. In one embodiment, software can be remotely installed on a device that, when installed, locates the device and transmits the location to an email address associated with the device so that a user can recover the device if it is lost or stolen. | 08-23-2012 |
20120216292 | User Account Creation Involving a Mobile Device - Mobile devices may often communicate with network (“cloud”) services that require an account. Because it may be undesirable to require user interaction when creating an account, it may be desirable to create an account associating a mobile device to a network service without requiring a user to explicitly enter authentication information, such as a username and password. In an embodiment, data corresponding to a mobile device is obtained to generate authentication information which is then sent to messaging address of a user. In another embodiment, in response to an event, a mobile device obtains an identifier for a user, sends the identifier to a server, where the server transmits one set of authentication information to a messaging address associated with the user and another set of authentication information to the device. | 08-23-2012 |

In an implementation, a mobile application intercepts a request including an identifier associated with an action to be performed by another application on the device and evaluates the identifier to determine when the request should be permitted, blocked, or conditionally permitted. The client may use local data or make a request to a server to evaluate the identifier. In an implementation, server communications are optimized to minimize latency by caching evaluation results on the device, proactively priming the device's DNS cache, optimizing when DNS lookups are performed, and adapting evaluation policy based on factors such as the source of the request, and the currently active network connection. | 12-20-2012 |

20150237327 | Process for creating a three dimensional x-ray image using a single x-ray emitter - A subject, such as a patient, is restrained in a desired position for X-raying a body part of interest and the X-ray emitter is activated to create a beam of X-rays that pass through the subject and into a digital X-ray detector to create an image. Then the X-ray detector is refreshed for another exposure and the X-ray emitter is moved from its first position to a second position and a second X-ray is taken. Computer software manipulates the two images by aligning them, interlacing them and warping one image into the space of the other image. The resulting image can be immediately displayed on a computer or the like or stored as a computer file, such as a JPEG file for later viewing. The images can be viewed as three dimensional images when the viewer wears three dimensional viewing eyeglasses. | 08-20-2015 |

20110067497 | HIGH PRECISION ULTRASONIC CORROSION RATE MONITORING - The invention relates to very precisely measuring changes in thickness of pipe walls to determine corrosion rate prior to any significant corrosion loss. The thickness is determined by ultrasonic testing where many measurements of the wall thickness are taken at the same spot by a fixed sensor and errors associated with noise and temperature changes are substantially eliminated. A highly sensitive receiver converts each reflected pulse to waves that are averaged with other pulse measurements. The resulting average wave is analyzed so that each waveform is analyzed to identify the extrema and inflection points of each reflected pulse. The resulting analysis provides a far more accurate determination of the time between reflected pulses. As a result, a far more accurate picture of corrosion at the location of the wall of the pipe can be determined within weeks with a high degree of confidence. | 03-24-2011 |

20130092171 | MULTI-LUMEN TRACHEAL TUBE WITH PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION - The present disclosure describes systems and methods that utilize a tracheal tube with pressure distribution features. For certain patients, the vocal cords may form a seal with an inserted tracheal tube. A pressure distribution lumen may allow fluid communication between tracheal space above and below the vocal cords. This in turn may reduce the formation of a vacuum seal forming around a suction lumen evacuation port. Accordingly, the disclosed embodiments provide improved suctioning by distributing the pressure around the evacuation port and the space above the vocal cords. | 04-18-2013 |
