Title: Flight management system and method of updating flight calculations
Inventor: STEFAN ALEXANDER SCHWINDT
IPC: G08G5/00
Filed: 2018-11-12
Abstract: A method of updating flight calculations for an aircraft 14 comprises automatically collecting aircraft traffic information including position, type and/or mass, from at least one 10 of a network of other aircraft operating in a nearby region or a ground station 64. Real-time weather data is also collected. A vortex 86 with a vortex magnitude to be encountered by the current flight path 84 of the aircraft 14 is predicted and the vortex magnitude compared to a predetermined threshold for the aircraft 14. If it is determined that the vortex magnitude satisfies the predetermined threshold then an advisory alert or suggested alternative flight path is displayed on a system of the aircraft 14. The advisory alert may indicate a predicted time of traversal of the current flight 84 path and the vortex 86. The weather data may be collected from a sensor on board the aircraft 14. The alternative flight path may include determining a Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP). The vortex properties and its interaction with the flight path 84 may be predicted based upon the weather data and/or a rate of dissipation of the vortex 86.

Title: Method for the attenuation of multiple refelections in shallow water settings
Inventor: AMARJEET KUMAR
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2017-10-12
Abstract: A method for attenuating multiple reflections from marine seismic signals includes estimating a multichannel prediction filter by minimizing energy between detected seismic signals and seismic signals representing water layer multiple reflections in combination with forcing a sparsity constraint on the estimated multichannel filter. Near offset seismic signals not present in the detected seismic signals are reconstructed by convolving the detected seismic signals with an inverse of the multichannel prediction filter. The multichannel prediction filter is convolved with the reconstructed near offset seismic signals to obtain a final multiple reflection model. The final multiple reflection model is subtracted from the detected seismic signals to obtain multiple reflection attenuated seismic signals.
