Malaysia Airlines 'loses contact with plane' (and search effort updates)


Recommended Posts

Do you have the patent number and name of the holders so we can really look it up?

Not to challenge anything, just curious. Because I Googled and found a list of names which claimed to be the patent holders. Now if we know the official document to approve/disprove this theory.

 

I think someone referenced the wrong patent:

Folks, patent transfers don't work like this, they generally transfer to heirs AFAIK. Besides, snopes already debunked this:

EDIT: eh, it doesn't like the linking... so you have to copy the link?

Interesting coincidence -- 4 patent holders were supposed to be on Flight MH 370 -- but their exact names are not on the passenger list:

 

Four passengers not onboard MH370 replaced by standby passengers

 

The mystery behind the four passengers who checked in but did not board the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH 370 was finally ?cleared? after it was revealed that four standby passengers had taken their seats.

 

Following a barrage of questions on the matter, MAS group chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said of the 227 passengers, four who had bought tickets did not turn up to catch the flight to Beijing at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

 

Their places were taken by four people, who were standby passengers, he explained.

 

He, however did not reveal more about the four passengers.

^ As far as I've read, patents can not be inherited until they have been approved.

Transfers can occur at any time in the process:

Besides, Freescale was assigned the patent, so none of the individuals had any legal right to it anyway (they weren't patent holders despite being listed as inventors).

Oil slick sample not connected to Flight MH 370. .....Shocking.

 

 

(CNN) -- A prolonged undersea search for the Malaysian jetliner could cost nearly a quarter billion U.S. dollars if private companies are used, Australia's top transport official said Thursday.

 

Martin Dolan emphasized that the $234 million price tag is a "ballpark rough estimate" of an extended search and salvage mission.

This is the patent in question, the one in the article, along with those that hold it. (Though another patent popped up in the search, but none of those inventors were listed in the manifest either.)

 

The flight manifest

 

So basically Freescale owns the patent rights, 20 or so employees were on the flight in question. Freescale was bought out by Blackstone, which is connected to the Rothschild. (Tin-foil time) Claims are made that 4 of the 20 were patent holders. The problem is, none of the names on the patent were listed in the manifest. On top of that, the article tries to make an issue about when the patent was approved, 4 days after the disappearance. The problem with that is that the patent filed back in Dec 2012, it takes time to get approved. Yet another problem, Freescale had ownership over the patent, meaning the inventors were no longer connected to it, making the conspiracy of killing them off pointless. 

Thanks for the explanation. It seems now we are at zero again.

A mini-submarine searching for the missing Malaysian plane has completed a full mission at its third attempt.

 

Two previous missions to scour the floor of the Indian Ocean for wreckage were cut short by technical problems.

 

The data from the sub's latest mission is being analysed. Previous forays have not shown anything significant.

 

It is searching in the area acoustic signals thought to be from the missing plane's "black box" flight recorders were heard.

 

A sample from an oil slick in the area the acoustic signals were heard in was sent to Perth for testing. However, the JACC confirmed on Thursday that the oil sample was not aircraft engine oil or hydraulic fluid.

(CNN) -- An underwater drone dipped into the ocean Friday for its fifth trip to search for traces of the missing Malaysian plane as relatives of those aboard maintained their demand for answers.

As frustration bubbles over, the Bluefin-21 was busy scanning the southern Indian Ocean seabed. Authorities said the vessel has scanned a total of 110 square kilometers (42.5 square miles) without making any "contacts of interest."

After four dives, "there has been no debris or aircraft wreckage discovered," said Phoenix International Holdings, which owns and operates the equipment under a contract for the U.S. Navy.

The underwater vessel takes two hours to get near the ocean floor and another two hours to return to the surface. It aims to map the ocean floor for 16 hours to retrieve data, which then take four hours to analyze.

Searchers seem to be preparing for the possibility that an underwater drone scan may not yield debris from the plane immediately.

(CNN) -- The underwater drone scanning for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 finished its seventh mission Sunday, having covered about half its intended territory without finding any sign of the missing plane.

 

The Bluefin-21 drone started its eighth mission soon after the previous one ended Sunday morning, surveying the bottom of the southern Indian Ocean for traces of the Boeing 777.

You do wonder if we're even looking in the right place! After all it's just based on calculations which are based on assumptions!

Plane could have done a second u turn as well

 

While I don't disagree with you it could be the wrong area, it's not just based off calculations. They reported 4 pings received from the BB (the original of the 5th was not from a BB).

 

It's a combination of calculations + pings which made them feel they were in the right location.

 

But I honestly don't know if this plane will ever be found.

And how could some debris not wash up on Australia's west coast ... ?

 

Even with a controlled landing on the ocean, some parts would break off.

 

An "object of interest" in the search for missing Malaysian Airlines plane has been recovered on the coast of Western Australia, several hours drive south of Perth, officials said.

 

Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan described the object as appearing to be sheet metal with rivets.

 

"It's sufficiently interesting for us to take a look at the photographs," he said. "We take all leads seriously."

 

The object was picked up near Augusta, some 300 kilometers (186 miles) south of Perth, a source with the Australian Defence Force told CNN.

 

The source also described the object as having rivets on one side with what appears to be a fiberglass coating.

 

When asked about the shape and scale of the object, the source described it as "kind of rectangular," but torn and misshapen.

I am firmly of the belief that either the captain or the first officer killed the other crewmember, kept the door locked, depressurised for long enough to kill the passengers, made it as difficult as possible for investigators to find what happened (possibly the reason for his climb to 45,000ft - maybe attempting to simulate an unanticipated climb to coffin corner followed by stall a'la Air France) and committed suicide by crashing the aircraft. There is precedent, and with the kind of life insurance that pilots get, he may have a very good reason for wanting to hide what happened. This is me jumping to conclusions, of course, but that's the theory that makes the most sense to me. Other alternatives seem to have too many holes in them.

^ The Captain seemed suspicious to me too, but his friends say he would never steal a jet, or kill people.

 

Still, his wife had just left him.

 

The co-pilot was planning to get married.

 

The only thing that makes sense is that the jet was hijacked for profit, or to be used in a future attack -- and there was another qualified pilot on-board.

Confirmed not from the jet liner.

There was something I saw on CNN earlier about a cyclone that had been going on in the same area the plane supposedly crashed. Any chance the plane could have flown right into the cyclone and broke the plane up into many parts?

Planes fly into storms daily. Storms have little effect on aircraft, but if they are big enough, the plane will divert.

To clarify, a plane will never fly into a storm, let alone a cyclone, but using weather radar it can see and avoid storm cells. There is no reason, beyond bad piloting that an aircraft will enter a storm. Doing so is extremely dangerous and has a good potential to lead to a crash. However that's not what happened - the aircraft didn't crash but instead carried on flying for quite some time.

How many times have friends of people that go crazy and kill people said that he was a nice guy and would never do anything like that? In stressful jobs, people have nervous breakdowns, especially if your wife just left with the children. Even the nicest of people can snap. And planning a wedding is stressful! Damn is it stressful.

I saw on CNN today, the one expert says that this is now the right time for Jet debris to be washing up on the western and southern shores of Australia -- if the jet crashed where they believe.

 

He suggests that people should patrol the beaches for plane parts.

^ The jet supposedly would have broken up to some extent, no matter how softly they landed.

 

There would be some pieces floating on top of the ocean, eventually washing up on shore.

 

That is, if the jet even crashed ....

    • First exciting thing to come to Windows in a long time ! This is the kind of things they should focus on, instead of cramming as much AI as they can in everything.
    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
    • Samsung introduces new AI classroom tools and interactive displays at ISTELive 2026 by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced several new education-focused software features and interactive displays for schools during ISTELive 2026, taking place in Orlando, Florida, from 28 June to 1 July. The focus of these updates is on making shared classroom displays easier to use for teachers while giving IT administrators more control over managing devices. One of the key additions is the Samsung Account Management Solution (AMS). In many schools, multiple teachers share the same interactive display throughout the day, which means signing in and setting everything up can become repetitive. With AMS, teachers can log in by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC-enabled ID card. Once signed in, their personalised workspace, including wallpapers, bookmarks, app shortcuts, and files, can be instantly accessed through Home Personalisation. Samsung has also included a screen lock feature, allowing teachers to lock the display if they need to step away briefly. Furthermore, the company is also updating its Education Portal with new tools designed for school IT administrators. The portal will allow IT administrators to register teachers, enrol devices, and manage user access from a central dashboard. Administrators can also link NFC cards to teacher accounts, making sign-ins quicker across shared displays. Another addition is a Tags feature that lets schools organise displays by building or classroom. Those tags can also be used to send emergency notifications to selected Samsung Interactive Displays through compatible platforms such as InformaCast and Raptor. Moreover, the tech giant's AI Assistant is gaining several new features aimed at supporting everyday classroom tasks such as lesson planning and classroom engagement. One of the features is Circle to Search, which lets teachers circle text or images on the display to quickly find related information, videos, or web results without interrupting the lesson. The content can then be brought into Samsung Whiteboard. Another feature, Live Transcript, converts spoken lessons into real-time captions, which could be useful for students with hearing impairments or those in multilingual classrooms. The AI Assistant also introduces AI Summary and AI Quiz. The summary tool creates summaries of recorded lessons, while AI Quiz generates questions based on lesson content so teachers can quickly check how well students are following along. Teachers signed in through Samsung AMS can also return to their previous AI-generated lesson materials without logging in again. Alongside the software updates, Samsung has expanded its Android-based Interactive Display range with three new models: the WAF-S, WAFX-PS, and WAHX-M. The WAF-S and WAFX-PS ship with Android 16, bringing updates to security, accessibility, and overall usability while maintaining compatibility with Google's education services including Google Classroom and Google Drive through EDLA certification. Meanwhile, the new WAHX-M is the biggest addition to the lineup, introducing a 98-inch display for larger spaces such as lecture halls and conference rooms. It will also be available in 65-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch sizes. Samsung says the WAHX-M further includes on-device AI features such as voice commands, text-to-speech, and an AI calculator, alongside support for Samsung AMS and AI Assistant. Samsung AI Assistant has been available since April, while Samsung AMS and the updated Education Portal will begin rolling out in July.
    • It's been $24 (single) or $89 (4-pack) for many days on both Amazon and Walmart as far as I know. That isn't a big discount. If these end up like the 1st gen, the 4-pack will routinely get down around $80, give or take a dollar. I think they have even hit $69 at times.
