| 20100121797 | STANDOFF DETECTION FOR NITRIC ACID - In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes obtaining at least one measurement in a spectral domain of a sample and computing one or more measurements of the salient features in the spectral domain. The salient features correspond to at least one peak within the spectral domain. This method also includes classifying the computed salient features against a feature signature of nitric acid. In addition, this method includes determining if the chemical is present in the sample. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100145659 | SPECTRA SIGNAL DETECTION SYSTEM - A detection system which provides for continuous background estimation removal from a sequence of spectra. A panoramic field of regard may be partitioned into a large number of fields of view (FOVs). An FOV may have a chemical vapor cloud. The small FOV may maximize detection of the cloud. Such detection may require removing the spectral characteristics other than that of the target cloud. This may amount to removal of background spectra with an estimated background developed from one or more FOVs which may or may not be similar to the background of the FOV with the target cloud. A number of estimated background spectra of the other FOVs may be used individually to greatly increase the detection probability of the target chemical. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100162027 | HEALTH CAPABILITY DETERMINATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method are provided for the determining of the potential effect(s) that a degraded system, subsystem, or component may have on the overall capabilities of a vehicle or other system, and any mitigating actions that may need to be taken. Mission-related capabilities of the system are decomposed into a plurality of lower-level capabilities that have an impact on the mission-related capabilities. One or more faults that have an impact on at least one of the lower-level capabilities are mapped to appropriate lower-level capabilities. The lower-level capabilities to which the one or more vehicle faults is mapped are computed, and values of the mission-related capabilities are computed from each of the lower-level capabilities. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100165349 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING ANGLE RANDOM WALK - A gyroscope for determining an angular rate output. The gyroscope includes a first demodulator configured to demodulate an angular rate measurement at a first bias modulation frequency to determine the angular rate signal and a second demodulator configured to demodulate the angular rate measurement at a second bias modulation frequency to provide a signal with ARW information. The gyroscope further includes an ARW estimator that provides an output that is proportional to ARW that is then stored in a memory. The second bias modulation frequency is an even order harmonic of the first bias modulation frequency. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100332715 | VEHICLE SYSTEM MONITORING AND COMMUNICATIONS ARCHITECTURE - Systems, methods and devices are provided that allow more efficient transfer and processing of sensor information in a hierarchical data system. The system provides for a plurality of component area managers (CAM), each of the CAMS being in operable communication with at least one of a plurality of transducers that monitors a phenomena of a component and in operable communication with a data bus. A CAM comprises a processor in operable communication with the at least one transducer of the plurality of transducers, wherein the first processor is configured to record data generated by the at least one transducer of the plurality of transducers, to reduce the recorded data, to place the reduced data on the data bus. The system also includes a transducer selection module controlled by the first processor by which the first processor selects one of the plurality of transducers to record and a rolling buffer in operable communication with the first processor and in operable communication with the at least one transducer by which to record the data generated by the at least one transducer of the plurality in a first-in-first-out manner. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20080266141 | METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING DIAGNOSTICS REASONER MODELS - A method for optimizing a diagnostic reasoner model, for use in connection with a diagnostic system for testing a system under test of an aircraft, includes the steps of querying for a plurality of primary indicators, further querying for a plurality of supplemental indicators, and updating the diagnostic reasoner model based at least in part on the supplemental indicators. The primary indicators identify one or more potential faults in the system under test. Each supplemental indicator provides information either validating or invalidating a particular primary indicator or association of primary indicators. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100023301 | ELECTROMECHANICAL ACTUATOR AND EFFECTOR HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method are provided for supplying electromechanical actuator (EMA) health status information to a control system. A determination is made as to whether the EMA has experienced a fault. If the EMA has experienced a fault, a fault-based position limit and a fault-based rate limit of the EMA are determined, based on the fault. A design position limit and a design rate limit of the EMA are supplied. An updated position limit of the EMA is determined based on at least the design position limit and the fault-based position limit, and an updated rate limit of the EMA is supplied based on at least the design rate limit and the fault-based rate limit. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090276280 | Using Alerts to Bring Attention to In-Store Information - A method is provided that uses alerts to bring in-store information that is of interest to the attention of team members working in a retail store. To send an alert to a team member logged in to a device data, data from a source is evaluated against business rules. An event is generated when a piece of data satisfies the business rules. The event indicates that the piece of data is of interest. A task is activated for the event and assigned to the team member acting in a role associated with the source of the event. An alert is sent to the device that the team member is logged in to indicating that the team member has been assigned the task. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100293039 | On-Demand Performance Reports - A method is provided for rendering performance reports on a client device in a retail establishment. A request is received to render a summary performance report on the client device. Shift information for the user is retrieved. At least one summarized performance metric is obtained from one of a plurality of business data statistics providers using the shift information. Scoring rules are applied to the at least one obtained summarized performance metric. The at least one summarized performance metric and corresponding score associated with the at least one summarized performance metric are compiled into the summary performance report. The summary performance report is sent to the client device for rendering. | 11-18-2010 |
