20090112381 | Method and apparatus for a crash survivable flight data recorder - Common practice in the aviation industry is to place a single Flight Data Recorder (FDR) in an aircraft for the purpose of aiding an investigation of an aircraft accident or incident. In contrast, a system employing ‘an example’ embodiment of the invention uses multiple flight data recorders by having a primary node or first FDR, and one or more secondary nodes or one or more additional FDRs configured to store flight data. Each FDR is placed in a different location so as to ensure backup of the recorded and stored data. In this way, the invention system provides redundancy of information for an aircraft accident or incident and more reliable data storage. | 04-30-2009 |

20150123849 | Position Determining Method and System Using Surveillance Ground Stations - An aircraft avionics system and method for automatically determining an aircraft position. The system and method determine distances to UAT or SSR ground stations. The system and method then determine the position of an aircraft by determining true bearings to SSR or UAT ground stations and determining the possible positions for the aircraft at which the aircraft is at respective bearings to each SSR or UAT ground station. An alternative system and method may determine distances based on timing signals in transmissions from the ground stations and determine one or more possible positions for the aircraft at which the aircraft is at the determined distances from respective ground stations. The system and method also may use dead reckoning or VOR or ADF signals to reduce the possible positions for the aircraft to a single possible position. | 05-07-2015 |

The system and method determine distances to UAT ground stations based on timing signals in transmissions from the UAT ground stations and determines one or more possible positions for the aircraft at which the aircraft is at the determined distances from respective UAT ground stations. The system and method may use three or more UAT ground stations to reduce the possible positions for the aircraft to a single possible position. The system and method also may use dead reckoning or VOR or ADF signals to reduce the possible positions for the aircraft to a single possible position. The system and method may also determine the position of an aircraft by determining true bearings to SSR ground stations and determining the possible positions for the aircraft at which the aircraft is at respective bearings to each SSR ground station. | 11-29-2012 |
20120303252 | DATABASE AUGMENTED SURVEILLANCE - An aircraft traffic alert system that minimizes false alarms and unnecessary alerts by automatically adjusting the sensitivity of the system based on proximity to an airport. The system also can use information from a flight management system (FMS) or GPS navigation system (GNS) to only adjust the sensitivity near a destination airport and to suppress potential alerts for possible collisions with other aircraft that will be moot based on planned course changes of the subject aircraft. The system also can suppress alerts related to another aircraft when the other aircraft is landing on a parallel runway to the runway on which the subject aircraft is landing. The system may use multiple sensitivity levels based on different airspace classes, each class being associated with a different sensitivity level. | 11-29-2012 |

20090258226 | PREPARATION OF VERY HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYAMIDE FILAMENTS - Disclosed is the preparation of very high molecular weight polyamide, e.g., nylon, filaments, as indicated by such filaments exhibiting a very high Relative Viscosity (RV) value. Such filaments can be used to prepare polyamide staple fibers which are especially useful for industrial applications such as in papermachine felts. The filament preparation process involves a melt phase polymerization (MPP) procedure, optionally carried out in combination with a solid phase polymerization (SPP) procedure. Both of these procedures serve to increase the molecular weight and hence the RV of the polyamide filaments produced. These procedures are conducted under selected controlled conditions which permit realization of polyamide filaments of about 2 to 100 denier and which have RV values of greater than about 190. Such filaments also exhibit excellent tenacity and tenacity resistance properties. | 10-15-2009 |

20150237058 | Multi-Function, Modular System for Network Security, Secure Communication, and Malware Protection - Representative embodiments are disclosed for providing network and system security. A representative apparatus includes an input-output connector coupleable to a data network; a network interface circuit having a communication port; a nonvolatile memory storing a configuration bit image; and a field programmable gate array (“FPGA”) coupled to the network interface circuit through the communication port, the FPGA configurable to appear solely as a communication device to the first network interface circuit, and to bidirectionally monitor all data packets transferred between the input-output connector and the first network interface circuit and any coupled host computing system. In another embodiment, the FPGA is further configurable for only a partial implementation of a communication protocol, such as a PCIe data link and/or physical layers. The FPGA may also monitor host memory and provide encryption and decryption functionality. The FPGA is not addressable within the computing system and therefore is largely undetectable by malware. | 08-20-2015 |

20100125722 | Multithreaded Processing Unit With Thread Pair Context Caching - A circuit arrangement and method utilize thread pair context caching, where a pair of hardware threads in a multithreaded processor, which are each capable of executing a process, are effectively paired together, at least temporarily, to perform context switching operations such as context save and/or load operations in advance of context switches performed in one or more of such paired hardware threads. By doing so, the overall latency of a context switch, where both the context for a process being switched from must be saved, and the context for the process being switched to must be loaded, may be reduced. | 05-20-2010 |

20090182986 | Processing Unit Incorporating Issue Rate-Based Predictive Thermal Management - A circuit arrangement and method utilize an issue rate-based predictive thermal management technique in a microprocessor or other integrated circuit that tracks the rate in which instructions are issued to one or more execution units in the processing unit, and selectively delays the issuance of subsequent instructions to the execution unit(s) based upon the tracked issue rate to predictively control the thermal output of the integrated circuit. | 07-16-2009 |
20090292907 | Dynamic Merging of Pipeline Stages in an Execution Pipeline to Reduce Power Consumption - A pipelined execution unit incorporates one or more low power modes that reduce power consumption by dynamically merging pipeline stages in an execution pipeline together with one another. In particular, the execution logic in successive pipeline stages in an execution pipeline may be dynamically merged together by setting one or more latches that are intermediate to such pipeline stages to a transparent state such that the output of the pipeline stage preceding such latches is passed to the subsequent pipeline stage during the same clock cycle so that both such pipeline stages effectively perform steps for the same instruction during each clock cycle. Then, with the selected pipeline stages merged, the power consumption of the execution pipeline can be reduced (e.g., by reducing the clock frequency and/or operating voltage of the execution pipeline), often with minimal adverse impact on performance. | 11-26-2009 |
20090293061 | Structural Power Reduction in Multithreaded Processor - A circuit arrangement and method utilize a plurality of execution units having different power and performance characteristics and capabilities within a multithreaded processor core, and selectively route instructions having different performance requirements to different execution units based upon those performance requirements. As such, instructions that have high performance requirements, such as instructions associated with primary tasks or time sensitive tasks, can be routed to a higher performance execution unit to maximize performance when executing those instructions, while instructions that have low performance requirements, such as instructions associated with background tasks or non-time sensitive tasks, can be routed to a reduced power execution unit to reduce the power consumption (and associated heat generation) associated with executing those instructions. | 11-26-2009 |
