Abstract: Method and indicator for displaying information showing the airspeed tolerance margins for an aircraft. The indicator comprises a central processing unit which selects, from a plurality of longitudinal scales, the longitudinal scale representative of the current aerodynamic configuration of the aircraft and a display means which presents on a display screen the selected longitudinal scale, which is mobile in the longitudinal direction, and whose position on the display screen depends on the current angle of attack of the aircraft, shown by a characteristic marker in a fixed position on the display screen across the longitudinal scale, the latter scrolling up and down relative to the characteristic marker as a function of the current angle of attack of the aircraft.

Abstract: A personal navigation device and method are disclosed. The device and method make use of an integrated electronic compass to simplify data transfer to the user thereby simplifying the navigation process. In use, data provided by the electronic compass is used to orient a displayed map relative to the orientation of the personal navigation device. Alternatively, the data provided by the electronic compass is used to rotate an icon indicative of the position of the user in which the icon rotates in response to a change of orientation of the user. In a simplified device, the electronic compass data is used to indicate the direction and displacement of a series of predetermined waypoints relative to the current position of the personal navigation device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating the bias and scale factor in a speed sensor and pitch sensor using a modified adaptive filter. A filter learns adaptively in a random manner to estimate the errors in the vehicle speed and pitch angle. The aiding measurements used in this approach are exemplarily DGPS travel distances. The filter adaptively estimates error source values during the availability of DGPS, and can then use these estimates to aid an INS during DGPS outages.

Abstract: A vehicle monitoring and notification system includes a mapping application and a data manager. The mapping application receives data identifying a particular location and automatically translates this data into a set of location values. The mapping application then stores the foregoing set of location values. The data manager retrieves the stored set of location values and monitors travel of a vehicle based on location values produced by a location sensor coupled to the vehicle. The data manager compares a set of location values produced by the sensor to the stored set of location values to determine when the vehicle is within a predefined proximity of the particular location. When the data manager determines that the vehicle is within the predefined proximity of the particular location, the data manager causes a notification message to be transmitted to a user communications device to notify a user of an impending arrival of the vehicle at the particular location.

Abstract: An assisted GPS signal detection and processing system enables an end user to obtain position information from satellite navigation signals in indoor environments that have excess signal attenuation. The system includes a master navigation signal receiver having an antenna disposed with clear sky access to a plurality of navigation satellites. The master navigation signal receiver receives satellite navigation signals from the plurality of navigation satellites, and relays an assisted satellite navigation signal to a plurality of end user signal receivers via a medium. The assisted navigation signal includes at least one of satellite location information, clock correction information, and frequency discipline information. The end user signal receivers each have an antenna for receiving the satellite navigation signals directly. The end user signal receivers are also coupled to the medium to receive the assisted navigation signal from the master navigation signal receiver. The satellite navigation signals received by the end user signal receivers via the antennas may be at least partially attenuated due to passing through physical structures. The end user signal receivers are able to recover end user position information from the attenuated satellite navigation signals by use of the assisted navigation signal.

Abstract: A wheelchair navigation system having motorized wheelchair which is powered by at least one onboard battery, and a battery charger. The navigation system also has a filter-based estimator with interface software running that is operated on an onboard laptop computer. Dual cameras, proximity sensors, microphones, and rotation sensors for the wheels are mounted to the wheelchair. Small markers are placed on the walls of a location or room. The navigation system uses the proximity sensors, rotation sensors and cameras in conjunction with the specialized software to determine where objects or impediments are located in the room and thereby redirect the path of the wheelchair so as to avoid such objects. The wheelchair is walked through the marked location thereby nullteachingnull various paths which are recorded in the computer and recalled later when the wheelchair is in use.

Abstract: A swathing guidance system includes a controller storing data defining a desired vehicle path, a position detector subsystem such as a differential GPS receiver, and a display to graphically display current spatial parameters and corrective steering actions to place the vehicle on the desired path or to maintain it on the path. The controller periodically selects a future intercept point on the path and calculates a steering correction angle to point the vehicle toward the intercept point. The display includes a steering guide which displays the steering correction angle relative to the current heading and the current track error or distance from the desired path. The steering correction angle can alternatively be applied to an automatic steering mechanism to automatically maintain the vehicle on the desired path. In agricultural applications, the system is applicable to both parallel and contour cultivation modes.

Abstract: An electronic compass system includes a magnetic sensor circuit having at least two sensing elements for sensing perpendicular components of the Earth's magnetic field vector. A processing circuit is coupled to the sensor circuit to filter, process, and compute a heading. The processing circuit further selects an approximating geometric pattern, such as a sphere, ellipsoid, ellipse, or circle, determines an error metric of the data points relative to the approximating pattern, adjusts the pattern to minimize the error, thereby obtaining a best fit pattern. The best fit pattern is then used to calculate the heading for each successive sensor reading provided that the noise level is not noisy and until a new best fit pattern is identified. The electronic compass system is particularly well suited for implementation in a vehicle rearview mirror assembly.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for directing a pursuing vehicle, such as a torpedo, on an intercept trajectory from a launching vehicle to a target vehicle with evasion capabilities and the target vehicle is alerted to pursuing vehicle at the time that the pursuing vehicle enables its seeker. Models of the pursuing vehicle and evading target provide proposed trajectories based upon various environmental considerations. A guidance system uses estimates of initial operating parameter solutions for the pursuing vehicle, such as gyro angle, intercept time and run-to-enable time, to begin a convergent, iterative process that defines final operating parameter solutions from which the guidance parameters are determined and transferred to the pursuing vehicle at launch.
