Fort Worth-based American Airlines received a patent for a system designed to reduce the time it takes to prepare an aircraft at a gate for its next flight.
The gate monitoring system uses a camera and computer to monitor activity and send alerts when what’s happening doesn’t comply with a predetermined schedule. It was invented by three people: Krunalkumar Patel of Irving, Murali Ande of Flower Mound and James Hill of Fort Worth.
Beyond American Airlines, other organizations with notable patents granted this week include:
- BNSF Railway which had two patents: one for a railroad virtual track block system and one for an image detection and identification system.

Patent Class: [D02G]Abstract: Methods for fabricating coiled polymer fibers and yarns (high-spring-index coiled fibers and yarns). Methods include inserting twist separately into individual fibers or yarns, plying the fibers or yarns by inserting plying twist, setting the ply structure without permanently binding together the fibers or yarns of different plies so that the ply structure is substantially stable against untwist when torsionally untethered, and then unwrapping the plied fibers or yarns so that a high-spring-index fiber or yarn can be obtained. In some embodiments, the unwrapped fibers or yarns are further set so that these are further stabilized. The methods can eliminate the need for a mandrel, and can be quickly applied for applications where high-spring-index thermally-driven artificial muscles are presently employed, such as for presently commercialized comfort-adjusting jackets.

Patent Class: [G06V]Abstract: Examples enable pallet tag tracking and cluster voting for more accurate pallet tag management using images of a selected pallet. A tag manager tracks a pallet through multiple images of the pallet to ensure the same pallet appears in every image. If the pallet tag is absent from all the images, a tag missing confidence score is generated that indicates the degree of confidence that the tag is missing from the pallet and not merely out of view. The score is used to prioritize handling of pallet tag missing exceptions. If the pallet tag is present in the images, optical character recognition (OCR) results for each tag image are aggregated into a tag cluster with a confidence score calculated for each result. A pallet tag identification (ID) number is predicted based on the result having the highest confidence score to ensure the pallet tag ID is complete and accurate.

Patent Class: [H04W]Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a network function configuration system that efficiently, accurately, and flexibly manages network function configurations in a cloud computing system for a 5G (and beyond) telecommunications network. For example, the network function configuration system utilizes configuration snapshots to perform batches of configuration updates atomically to network functions of a mobile packet core that is implemented in a cloud computing system. To illustrate, in a cloud computing system (such as a core network), network functions run in a current state. To modify the configuration snapshot to a desired state, numerous network function configuration changes must often be applied. Rather than applying each configuration change individually, the network function system generates a configuration snapshot that stages the configuration changes and atomically applies them to the cloud computing system together, which provides several technical advantages and benefits over conventional systems, discussed in this disclosure.

Application No., Date, Speed: 17838797 on 06/13/2022 (1464 days app to issue)
Patent Class: [H10W]Abstract: A routable lead frame (RLF) substrate has a conductive layer having first- and second-side traces having first fingers and second fingers, respectively, which are interdigitated with each other. A via layer is over the conductive layer. A first-side conductive via of the via layer is conductively coupled to the first-side trace. A second-side conductive via of the via layer is conductively coupled to the second-side trace. Dielectric molding material is disposed between the interdigitated fingers of the conductive layer and between the first-side conductive via and the second-side conductive via. The fingers and vias form an interdigital capacitor (IDC) useful in impedance matching and filtering.
