Title: Removal of debris from aerodynamic surfaces
Inventor: NICHOLAS DURSTON
IPC: B64D47/00
Filed: 2020-05-28
Abstract: An aerodynamic surface 1 comprising an elastic film 20 covering at least its leading edge region 16. A film stretching and displacement mechanism (e.g. rotatable rollers 21, 22 attached at film ends) displaces and stretches the film relative to the aerodynamic surface along a chordwise direction. The film may comprise a polymer material or silicone. The film may cover an upper skin panel of an aircraft wing box. The leading edge may be formed by a moveable leading edge device surface (e.g. droop nose device, or a slat). The aerodynamic surface may comprise lower 15 and upper 14 slots, wherein the first and second ends of the film extend through the slots into an internal space of the aerodynamic surface. Stretching the film may remove frozen debris 31 (ice or insect contamination) from a contaminated region 30 of an aerofoil surface. The film may thus clean, deice, or decontaminate the region.

Title: Copy source to target management in a data storage system
Inventor: LOKESH MOHAN GUPTA
IPC: G06F12/0868
Filed: 2018-11-29
Abstract: Copy source to target operations may be selectively and preemptively undertaken in advance of source destage operations. In another aspect, logic detects sequential writes including large block writes to point-in-time copy sources. In response, destage tasks on the associated point-in-time copy targets are started which include in one embodiment, stride-aligned copy source to target operations which copy unmodified data from the point-in-time copy sources to the point-in-time copy targets in alignment with the strides of the target. As a result, when write data of write operations is destaged to the point-in-time copy sources, such source destages do not need to wait for copy source to target operations since they have already been performed. In addition, the copy source to target operations may be stride-aligned with respect to the stride boundaries of the point-in-time copy targets. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.

Title: Context aware anomaly detection
Inventor: JOSEPH PAUL WIGGLESWORTH
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2021-06-03
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for context aware anomaly detection includes receiving a signal including real-time data, dividing the received signal into a set of training wavelets bounded by a respective training context, generating a prediction model for the training context by processing the set of training wavelets through a recurrent neural network to identify patterns in a sequence of data of a respective training wavelet. The method includes, in response to execution of a current context that is different from the training context, extracting current wavelets from a signal of the current context, identifying a pairwise match between same dimensions of the current wavelets and a wavelet pattern of the prediction model by aligning sequences of the current wavelet and sequences of the wavelet pattern of the prediction model. Upon determining that a total cumulative distance between the two sequences exceeds a predetermined threshold, an anomaly is identified.
