20120177892 | Method for Manufacturing a Thin Film Structural System - A method for manufacturing a thin film structural system including a thin film structure includes depositing a reinforcing material in a liquid form in a predefined pattern on a thin film membrane, and transforming the reinforcing material in the predefined pattern to form a reinforcing element connected to the thin film membrane. The reinforcing material may be deposited in a melted form and solidified by cooling, may be transformed by a light or laser induced chemical reaction, or may be deposited and solidified such that the reinforcing element is at least partially embedded in the thin film membrane. The predefined pattern may redistribute loads around a damaged portion of the thin film structure, or define a hinge, a folding line, a stiffening feature. The reinforcing element may be electrically, optically or thermally conductive, to communicate with a device included in the system. The system may be a space structure. | 07-12-2012 |

20130002453 | FLIGHT DECK HAVING A DUAL-VIEW DISPLAY AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME - A flight deck for an aircraft having a first display associated with a first pilot and displaying a first image comprising a first set of flight information for the first pilot and a second display associated with a second pilot and displaying a second image comprising a second set of flight information for the second pilot. The second display is a dual-view display simultaneously generating a third image along with the second image, with the second image viewable by the second pilot, but not the first pilot, the third image viewable by the first pilot, but not the second pilot, and the third image containing a subset of information from the second set of flight information. | 01-03-2013 |
20130002454 | METHOD OF OPERATING A SYNTHETIC VISION SYSTEM IN AN AIRCRAFT - A method of operating an aircraft comprising a cockpit with a flight deck having at least one flight display, a pilot's seat facing the flight deck, and a synthetic vision system producing a synthetic image for displaying on the at least one flight display. | 01-03-2013 |
20130238173 | METHODS FOR DERATED THRUST VISUALIZATION - Methods of illustrating one or more derated takeoffs of an aircraft on a runway where such illustrations are on a flight display in a cockpit of the aircraft and are based on various information and may allow pilots to make more accurate decisions related to derated takeoffs and full thrust takeoffs of the aircraft. | 09-12-2013 |
20140300496 | METHOD OF OPERATING A SYNTHETIC VISION SYSTEM IN AN AIRCRAFT - A method of operating an aircraft comprising a cockpit with a flight deck having at least one flight display, a pilot's seat facing the flight deck, and a synthetic vision system producing a synthetic image for displaying on the at least one flight display. | 10-09-2014 |

20140106976 | Compressed Sensing for Simultaneous Measurement of Multiple Different Biological Molecule Types in a Sample - A method and apparatus for simultaneously determining multiple different biological molecule types in a sample include labeling each different biological molecule type in a biological sample with a unique combination of a plurality of labels. Each different biological molecule type is selected from a population of M different biological molecules types. The plurality of labels is selected from a population of L different labels; and, M is greater than L. Measurements are obtained of relative abundances of the L different labels in the sample. Relative abundance of up to M different biological molecule types in the sample are determined based on the measurements and a method of compressed sensing. | 04-17-2014 |
