    摘要: A panoramic annular lens system (PAL), a unitary video camera and a PC-based software system that unwraps a 360° video image into a seamless, distortion free horizontal image image in real time. The PAL system of the preferred embodiment has a 360° horizontal field of view and a 90° vertical field of view in a 40 mm diameter compact package. The invention is not limited to any particular type of lens system. In fact, there are numerous lens systems for providing a 360° panoramic view. The video camera may be a CCD or CMOS based device having a pixel resolution of either 1280×1024 (high resolution) or 720×480 (NTSC). The unwrapping system is a radiometric ray tracing program carried out using a computer's graphics card capabilities to produce highly efficient regional transformation while minimizing software overhead. The result is real time, high resolution 30 fps conversion from a spherical distorted image to a flat panoramic image in Cartesian coordinates.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the invention provide a function centric data system that reduces avionics system weight and power requirements. In some embodiments, the function centric data system is housed in a vibration resistant package. A variety of functions typically performed by other avionics systems are incorporated into the system, allowing centralize power and processing management, reducing weight and improving system reliability. In some embodiments, the function centric data system is configured to provide high rate data sampling, allowing ground stations to apply sophisticated failure prediction algorithms, reducing maintenance costs and mean time between flights. Embodiments include methods of wireless networking with automatic hand offs and adaptive multi-hop topologies to allow this data to be promptly transferred when the aircraft lands. Embodiments also include methods for data processing to predict imminent failures using Bayesian statistics and catastrophe prediction methods.

    摘要: An information carrier in a preferred embodiment is worn like a dog-tag and carries data such as medical information. The tag operates wirelessly, communicating with a nearby reader which interrogates the tag with a selected combination of RF signal frequencies. Extremely long term battery usage is achieved by connecting the battery in the tag only when the proper combination of RF signals, each at least at a minimum threshold power level, is received at the tag to produce a trigger voltage in activation logic to close a solid state switch. After a sequence of communications between the reader and the tag is then completed to transfer selected data from the memory, the battery is again disconnected to preserve battery energy for very long periods of time. The battery may be slowly recharged by ambient energy using a scavenging antenna array.
