Methods and systems for using manifolds learning of airline network traffic to detect airline network traffic disruptions. In an embodiment, a computer processor transmits a request for abnormal airline network traffic simulation data to a simulation device, receives the abnormal airline network traffic simulation data, and generates, utilizing a manifolds learning process, simulated abnormal airline network traffic manifolds representation data. In some embodiments, the process may next include transmitting a request for current airline network traffic data to a current network traffic computer, receiving the current airline network traffic data, and generating a current airline network traffic dataset. In some implementations, the current airline network traffic dataset is then mapped to the abnormal airline network traffic manifolds representation, a determination made that a threshold number of data points of the current airline network traffic dataset maps to the abnormal airline traffic manifolds representation, and then an alarm is transmitted to an operator device indicating that a disruption of airline network traffic is imminent.

A tool implement with integrated stake puller providing a working tool and a stake puller member for pulling a concrete foundation stake from the ground. A tool implement, such as a hammer, a crowbar, or a mallet, forms a primary body including a handle and a tool head being a respective hammerhead, head of a crowbar, and mallet head. A C-shaped stake puller member is disposed in one of a first position and a second position on the handle and, alternately in a third position on the tool head depending on the type of tool head. Each stake puller member has a puller mouth including a smooth-surfaced inner side, concave top and bottom sections disposed on opposite sides of the inner side, and disposed on each of the top section and the bottom section in a position parallel to each other and perpendicular to the respective handle and alternately tool head.

Systems and methods for generating a position reference grid and relative positioning of an object are presented. Radiation is emitted towards a digital micro-mirror device including a plurality of micro-mirrors. Additionally, one or more of a plurality of micro-mirrors are modulated such that at least a portion of the radiation reflected from the plurality of micro-mirrors is projected on to a designated location in a designated pattern representative of a position reference grid. The radiation reflected from the plurality of micro-mirrors is detected. Further, the detected radiation is interpreted as location coordinates in the position reference grid. Additionally, the location coordinates are communicated to the object moving in relation to the digital micro-mirror device for positioning the object at a designated position in the position reference grid.
