    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for improving pilot situational awareness during brown-over-brown display situations. An image is rendered, on a display, that includes one of, or both, rendered terrain and rendered sky. A sky veil is at least selectively rendered on a portion of the display. The sky veil, when rendered, is rendered at least partially transparent and in a manner that portions of the sky veil that overlap with rendered sky are not discernable, and rendered terrain is viewable through portions of the sky veil that overlap with terrain.

    摘要: A wireless transmission method includes providing a commanding node and a plurality of sub-networks. Each of the sub-networks includes at least one responding node. Time slots are assigned to the sub-networks such that time slots assigned to each sub-network are interleaved in time with time slots assigned to at least one other sub-network. Within each time slot, at least one acknowledgement packet is transmitted from the at least one responding node before a command packet is sent from the commanding node within the time slot. Each at least one acknowledgement packet indicates whether or not a most recent command packet from the commanding node was correctly received by the responding node.

    摘要: Void-free planarization of sub-micron and deep sub-micron semiconductor devices results from depositing a layer of silicon-enriched oxide over a conventionally fabricated device and its metal traces. Conventional layers of TEOS-based oxide and SOG are then applied over the layer of silicon-enriched oxide. The silicon-enriched oxide has an index of refraction of at least about 1.50, a dangling bond density of about 10.sup.17 /cm.sup.3, and is typically about 1,000 .ANG. to 2,000 .ANG. thick. Because it is relatively deficient in oxygen atoms, the silicon-enriched oxide releases relatively few oxygen atoms when exposed by the etching process and does not greatly accelerate the SOG etch rate. Further, the silicon-enriched oxide itself has an etch rate that is only about 75% that of stoichiometric TEOS-based oxide. As such, the silicon-enriched oxide acts as a buffer that slows the etch-back process as the etching approaches the level of the metal traces, thus protecting the metal traces against exposure. In addition, the silicon-enriched oxide advantageously promotes stability and reliability of the underlying device. The silicon-enriched performs an shield-like function by neutralizing charges that could influence the underlying semiconductor device. In practice, the silicon-enriched oxide can extend hot carrier lifetime by about one order of magnitude.

    摘要: A communication method for a wireless communication network in a vehicle is disclosed where the network includes a plurality of sensor nodes and a receiving node. The method includes wirelessly transmitting first sensor data from a first sensor node and second sensor data from a second sensor node using first and second frequency channels, and receiving the first and second sensor data at the receiving node. The method can include rearranging the order of transmitting sensor data, and aggregating sensor data at the sensor nodes. The method can include testing the quality of the wireless links; and using the links with the best quality whether indirect or direct links. The receiving node can simultaneously receive data from more than one node using different frequencies. The nodes can transmit data in parallel using different frequencies. The network can include helper nodes. The wireless communication network can be designed as a tree.

    摘要: A wireless communication method has computer-implemented steps including identifying a location of a dead spot region within an expected route of a vehicle. The vehicle has a loss of wireless connectivity within the dead spot region. Lengths of time before the vehicle will arrive at the dead spot region and before the vehicle will exit the dead spot region are estimated. Audio content and/or video content are accessed from at least one source inside the vehicle and/or at least one source outside the vehicle such that playing of the content is uninterrupted while the vehicle is within the dead spot region, the accessing being dependent upon the estimated lengths of time.
