B64G 110

US Classification:

244172

Abstract:

An orbit transfer vehicle for transporting cargo between a low Earth orbit and a higher Earth orbit having a body and an engine operably coupled to the body. A reaction control system is further provided and is operably coupled to the body. The reaction control system having a plurality of thrusters capable of maneuvering the orbit transfer vehicle. The orbit transfer vehicle further includes an energy absorbing panel operable to gather energy and an energy storage device operable to store the energy. Still further, a payload interface mechanism is provided having a payload container area and a payload retaining device. The payload retaining device is connectable to the cargo. Lastly, a controller for autonomously controlling the engine, the reaction control system, and the payload interface mechanism to control the orbit transfer vehicle so as to transport the cargo between a low Earth orbit to a higher Earth orbit.

International Classification:

B64G 114

US Classification:

244162, 244158 R

Abstract:

A returnable and reusable space vehicle including a main body separate from and releasably mounted to a booster rocket assembly. A crew compartment module is provided that is separate from and releasably mounted to the main body. A propellant system is operably coupled to the crew compartment module so as to propel the crew compartment module from the main body during an emergency procedure. An orientation control system is coupled to the propellant system such that the orientation control system maintains the crew compartment module in a predetermined attitude during the emergency procedure. A pair of aerodynamic lifting wings extend from the main body to provide aerodynamic lift the the main body to permit the main body to return from the orbit and land.

Abstract:

An improved telephone call filtering method that allows the user to program multiple time periods into a stand alone device or voicemail system so that the user is not disturbed by the telephone ringer during those user-defined time periods. Incoming calls during those user-defined periods are filtered with a custom greeting recorded by the user stating the privacy requested and the call is then transferred to voicemail without the telephone ever ringing. The user has the option to allow incoming callers to bypass voicemail for emergency calls by pressing a predetermined button on the caller's phone in order for the user's phone to ring.

Jon R. Carpenter - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709219

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a method and system for reviewing script file(s) to provide a quantified quality score. The system includes a server system, a processing module, and a data storage module. The server system is configured to receive the script files from a writer and assign these script files to multiple readers for analysis. The processing module is operatively coupled to the server system for processing the analyzed script files by the plurality of readers. The processor checks the status of individual reviews of the plurality of readers before generating a final score. The data storage module is operatively coupled to the server system and the processing module for storing the script files and the reviewed script files.

B64B 1/20

Abstract:

An aerial vehicle including a collapsible and inflatable vehicle body capable of being filled with a lighter than air gas so as to make the vehicle semi-buoyant or 100% buoyant at a predetermined altitude in an atmosphere above a solar system body. The vehicle body has a shape suitable to provide aerodynamic lift. The vehicle may include a propulsion device coupled to and extending from the vehicle body, where the device provides power to aerodynamically lift the vehicle above the 100% buoyant altitude to a higher altitude where the vehicle can maintain that altitude through the aerodynamic lift and vehicle buoyancy. The vehicle is configured to be deployed/inflated from a collapsed and stowed configuration to a deployed/inflated configuration in an orbit above the atmosphere of the solar system body, and is configured to enter the atmosphere in the inflated configuration and descend without propulsion.
