| 20110121128 | Helicopter Auxilary Anti-Torque System - A helicopter auxilary anti-torque system for efficiently supplying thrust and control at the tail of a helicopter during failure of the helicopter tail rotor. The helicopter auxilary anti-torque system generally includes a fluid thrust assembly selectively engageable onboard the helicopter, an auxiliary tail rotor selectively engageable onboard the helicopter, and at least one controller to operate the fluid thrust assembly and the auxiliary tail rotor to effect a controlled anti-torque force of the tail boom during failure of the conventional helicopter tail rotor. The fluid thrust assembly projects a non flammable fluid from the tail boom of the helicopter. The auxiliary tail rotor is collapsible within the tail boom of the helicopter when not in use. The fluid thrust assembly and the auxiliary tail rotor may be automatically activated in the case of the primary tail rotor failure, or activated by the pilot of the helicopter via one or more switches. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100101604 | WINDSHIELD WIPER DE-ICING - Methods and apparatus are provided for vehicle windshield washing-wiping and wiper de-icing. Primary nozzles provide washing fluid to the windshield during normal operations and secondary nozzles bathe the wiper arms with washing fluid to de-ice the wipers during a de-icing mode. Washing fluid is drawn from a reservoir and delivered to the nozzles by a pump. When the outside air temperature T is greater than Tc, the critical temperature for ice formation, the wipers and washing-wiping proceed normally with washing fluid delivered to the primary nozzles for windshield washing. When T≦Tc and the wipers are not moving, a washer fluid supply line valve delivers washing fluid to the secondary nozzles to de-ice the wipers. The wiper motor, washing fluid pump and valve are operated by a controller based on inputs from wiper position and air temperature sensors, using predetermined information stored in on-board memory. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20080301213 | DIVISION WITH RECTANGULAR MULTIPLIER SUPPORTING MULTIPLE PRECISIONS AND OPERAND TYPES - A division method includes determining a precision indicator for the division operation that indicates whether the quotient should be a single precision, double precision, or extended precision floating-point number. The division is performed at a rectangular multiplier using the Goldschmidt or Newton-Raphson algorithm. Each algorithm calculates one or more intermediate values in order to determine the quotient. For example, the Goldschmidt algorithm calculates a complement of a product of the dividend and an estimate of the reciprocal of the divisor. The quotient is determined based on a portion of one or more of these intermediate values. Because only a portion of the intermediate value is used, the division can be performed efficiently at the rectangular multiplier, and therefore the quotient can be determined more quickly and still achieve the desired level of precision. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090230580 | Systems and Techniques for Reducing Group Delay Ripple in a Dispersion Compensating Grating - A technique is described for reducing group delay ripple in a fiber dispersion compensation grating. The grating is mounted into a trimming setup that includes a trimming device and a scanning assembly for causing a region of the grating to be scanned along its length by the trimming device output. The grating is sensitive to the trimming device output, such that exposure to the trimming device output causes a change in the effective refractive index of the scanned region, the amount of change varying as a function of scanning velocity. A region of the grating to be trimmed is selected, and a scanning velocity profile is programmed into the scanning assembly that is calculated to modify the effective refractive index of the selected grating region along its length so as to smooth out group delay ripple in the selected grating region. | 09-17-2009 |
