John Desmond Whelan - Burien WA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707769, 707E17014

Abstract:

A system comprising an associative memory, an input module, a query module, and a display module. The input module is configured to receive a value within a first perspective of the associative memory. The query module is configured to perform an open query of the associative memory using the value, perform the open query within at least one of an insert perspective and a second perspective of the associative memory. The at least one of the insert perspective and the second perspective has as many or more category associations for the value relative to the first perspective. The display module is configured to display a result of the query and to display a list of one or more potential ambiguities that result from the open query.

US Classification:

705306

Abstract:

A system, method and computer program product are provided in order to determine the value of a parcel based upon a number of different attributes and keywords relating to a number of features of the parcel. In the context of a system, a receiver module is configured to receive one or more attributes of the first parcel and one or more keywords of the first parcel. Each keyword may include a category type and a corresponding value. The system may also include an associative memory configured to compare the one or more attributes and one or more keywords of the first parcel with attributes and keywords, respectively, of a plurality of other parcels in order to determine a plurality of similar parcels. Further, the system may include an assessment module configured to determine the value of the first parcel based upon the prices of the plurality of similar parcels.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715738

Abstract:

A computer based method for utilizing static content in a dynamic environment to provide at least one defined functionality is described. The method includes identifying at least one function to be associated with the static content and the dynamic environment, identifying at least one state for each identified function, defining, in a computer memory, each identified state within a page object, the page object also defining within the computer memory page states and output attributes associated with output templates within the page object, creating, in the computer memory, output templates for each identified state, creating presentation pages and logic objects in the computer memory for each function, and creating engines to be executed by at least one computer processing device, each engine representing a function, the engines operable to use a corresponding page object to direct data traffic among the defined states within the computer memory.

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711108, 711E12001

Abstract:

A system including an associative memory including a plurality of data and a plurality of associations among the plurality of data. The plurality of data is collected into associated groups. The associative memory is configured to be queried based on at least indirect relationships among the plurality of data. The system also includes an input device in communication with the associative memory, the input device configured to receive an input criteria. The system also includes an optimizer in communication with the input device and the associative memory. The optimizer is configured to generate, using the associative memory, a multi-dimensional criteria file from the input criteria. The optimizer converts the input criteria to numerical representations associated with expert weights and generates the multi-dimensional criteria file to include an optimized plurality of criteria relevant to the input criteria.

G06F 9/455
G06F 9/50

Abstract:

A method performed by a computing system configured to process distributed flight data is described. The computing systems obtains distributed flight data from a communication system operating externally from the computing system. The computing system creates a record identifying the distributed flight data in a queue of the computing system. The computing system processes the distributed flight data identified in the record of the queue using a plurality of virtualized environments (VEs) of the computing system, each VE of the plurality of VEs comprising a task scheduler and a containerized application that operates to process the distributed flight data. The computing system further provides processed flight data to a plurality of different client communication systems operating externally from the computing system.

Abstract:

A method includes determining a comparative valuation for an asset including one or more objects. Specification data for the asset is retrieved, and comparable objects including two or more attributes are generated. Each attribute includes an attribute category and an associated attribute value. Comparison weights are received for attribute categories, and analogous object data is retrieved for analogous objects that are each analogous to the comparable object. The analogous object data includes attributes that are each analogous to one of the attributes of the comparable object. Each analogous attribute includes a category, a value, and a valuation. A comparative valuation for the object is output based on the associated attribute values for the comparable object, the associated analogous attribute values for each analogous object, the valuation of each analogous object, and the comparison weights. The comparative valuation for the asset is output based on the comparative valuations for each object.
