20080263679 | STORING INFORMATION IN CLOSED COMPUTING DEVICES - Mechanisms for securely storing unsigned information in closed computing devices are disclosed. Unsigned media entities, such as independently developed games, can be stored in a closed computing device, such as a gaming console. The storing of media entities can include preventing any content, whether residing on the closed console or remotely, from accessing the unsigned media entities. In this aspect, unsigned media entities can be isolated from such content on a per unsigned media entity basis (the media entity being the unit of isolation). Moreover, the media entities can be stored in directory structures that logically isolate the unsigned media entities from any other content. The closed computing device can also use a directory structure to guarantee that a specified signed loader can load unsigned media entities. Once stored, the media entities can also be secured from tampering by using a unique hardware key associated with the closed computing device. | 10-23-2008 |

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 |
