Abstract:
A processor, software code, and a method for generating warning indicating that flaps are not suitably in a take-off position. A first component is configured to receive a first signal indicative of one of a group of flaps positions, the group including a take-off position. A second component is configured to receive a second signal indicative of an aircraft position. A third component is configured to compare the aircraft position to the contents of a database and to, by the comparison, determine whether the aircraft position is within a runway perimeter. A fourth component is configured to generate an alarm when the aircraft is within the runway perimeter and the flaps position is not the take-off position.

Abstract:
A method for controlling loop bandwidth of a phase locked loop is described. The method includes setting the loop bandwidth to a value, calculating at least one of a phase error and a frequency change that occur subsequent to any setting or adjusting of loop bandwidth, and adjusting the loop bandwidth based on at least one of the phase error and the frequency change
Abstract:
A continuity testing device has a probe element for contacting a conductor. A continuity testing circuit is coupled to the probe element. The continuity testing circuit will indicate continuity when a resistance level below a predetermined set-point is monitored. The continuity testing circuit has at least one of a vibrating or audible sensor to indicate electrical continuity of the conductor. The vibrating and/or audible sensor indicates a strength of the resistance level of the circuit tested by a quality of vibration or sound from the vibrating and/or audible sensor. A grounding wire is coupled to the continuity testing circuit. The grounding wire has a magnetic contact coupled thereto to ground the continuity testing device to any ferrous metallic grounded element. A housing is provided for holding and storing the probe element and the continuity testing circuit.
