20140195515 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR QUERYING AND DISPLAYING DATA USING INTERACTIVE THREE-DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATIONS - Methods and systems for querying data, and displaying the query results using an interactive representation in three spatial dimensions are disclosed. Query or search results are analyzed and displayed in an interactive three-dimensional representation using a plurality of nodes, representing aspects of the search results, and links connecting the nodes, representing strength of relation between the connected nodes. The inventive methods and systems allow users to manipulate the three-dimensional representation to view the search results from different angles. The inventive methods and systems also allow users to activate sub-applications from any node, to filter or browse data results, and/or to update all nodes linked to any activated node. | 07-10-2014 |

20120119017 | Aircraft Wing Extension and Nozzle System - A system and method to control flight of an aircraft. The aircraft having an engine with a rotatably nozzle assembly configured to create forward propulsion and yaw control of the aircraft. The engine exhaust passing through the nozzle is redirected with a valve disposed within the nozzle. Lift is created with a lift system carried by the wing of the aircraft. Additional lift is created during flight with a retractable wing extension disposed within the wing of the aircraft. | 05-17-2012 |
20120312916 | Propulsive Anti-Torque Nozzle System with Rotating Thrust Director for a Rotorcraft - The system of the present application includes a duct for receiving airflow from within a duct portion of a tailboom. The airflow is a mixture of fan driven air and engine exhaust. The system includes a fixed nozzle assembly with an anti-torque nozzle, a pro-torque nozzle, and a thrust nozzle. A rotating thrust director is located upstream of the fixed nozzle assembly. The rotating thrust director located is configured to selectively redirect airflow into one or more of the anti-torque nozzle, the pro-torque nozzle and the thrust nozzle. | 12-13-2012 |

20150073711 | Landmark Identification from Point Cloud Generated from Geographic Imagery Data - Systems and methods for identifying prominent landmarks in a geographic area are provided. More particularly, geographic imagery data, such as panoramic images captured by a camera from a perspective at or near ground level, can be analyzed to identify landmarks depicted in the geographic imagery data. For instance, structure-from-motion techniques can be used to generate a point cloud of tracked features that are located a threshold distance away from one or more camera perspectives associated with the geographic imagery data. Landmarks that are visible from multiple camera perspectives and that are visible from greater distances relative to one or more camera perspectives can be identified as prominent landmarks in a geographic area. A geographic information system can use the prominent landmarks for a variety of purposes, such as for use in providing travel directions, for rendering landmarks in an emphasized style, and/or for constructing/displaying a three-dimensional model of the landmark. | 03-12-2015 |

20160067047 | FEMORAL STEM AND POST SYSTEM FOR HIP PROSTHESIS - A femoral stem for use in hip replacement surgery, specifically hip replacement surgery in dogs and similar animals but also inclusive to implants used in humans. More particularly, the invention is directed to a femoral stem that includes a lateral bolt or post that protrudes through the cortex or wall of bone opposite the neck of the femoral stem. The lateral bolt or post reduces the occurrence of subsidence in implanted femoral stems. The lateral bolt or post provides an anchor point on the cortex or wall of bone as opposed to relying solely on the compression of the femoral stem against the wall of the bony canal of the femur being implanted. | 03-10-2016 |
