| 20090058714 | HISTORY OR IMAGE BASED METHODS FOR ALTITUDE DETERMINATION IN A RADAR ALTIMETER - Methods and apparatus for determining an altitude with an altimeter is provided. One method includes transmitting a signal having a fixed modulation period towards a ground target and then detecting reflected signals off the ground target. The method then implements a single Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the detected signals for each modulation period that computes all possible altitudes in real time. A short history of the real time altitude calculations is collected and then the altitude based on the short history of the real time altitude calculations is determined. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090072957 | RADIO FREQUENCY PROXIMITY SENSOR AND SENSOR SYSTEM - A proximity sensor may be used as part of a vehicle blind spot detection system. The sensor is configured to transmit multiple radio frequency (RF) signals of different frequencies, receive reflected RF signals, and supply intermediate frequency (IF) signals. Each IF signal is representative of one of the reflected RF signals, and each reflected RF signal corresponds to a transmitted RF signal that was reflected by an object within the sensor detection region. The sensor uses the IF signals to determine whether an object is within its detection region and its movement direction. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090095523 | HOUSINGS FOR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - Housings for electrical or electronic components made using braid or woven fabric sheets having multiple sections treated with different materials as well as processes and materials for making such housings are disclosed. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090104405 | LAMINATED PRINTED WIRING BOARD WITH CONTROLLED SPURIOUS RF EMISSION CAPABILITY/CHARACTERISTICS - Printed wiring board for generally reducing electro-magnetic, capacitive and inductive cross coupling and cross talk in electrical circuits, electronic modules, and systems utilizing dissipative carbon layers residing between layers of conventional analog, digital, radio frequency (RF), or assemblies of mixed circuitry printed wiring constructions. Connection between layers by the use of insulated vias is possible when connection to the carbon layer is not desired. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090117386 | COMPOSITE COVER - A composite cover for dust, dirt and incidental moisture protection over an extended temperature range, EMI shielding to prevent radiation of internal circuit energy and preventing the entrance of external EMI. Also the cover provides mechanical strength and protection of circuitry and radiates heat created by internal circuitry. The cover provides lower levels of radiated emissions and improved resistance to incident external radiation. Electric and magnetic shielding is also provided. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090273504 | RADAR TARGET PROCESSING REDUCTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING COOPERATIVE SURVEILLANCE SOURCES - Systems and methods for reducing radar target processing. The systems include a processor configured to receive a first input from a cooperative surveillance source and a second input from a radar device. The first input includes cooperative target information, the second input includes cooperative and non-cooperative target information, and the processor is configured to process the first and second inputs to remove cooperative target information from the second input based on the first input to generate a modified radar output for use by an output device. The methods include receiving a first input including cooperative target information from a cooperative surveillance source, receiving a second input including cooperative and non-cooperative target information from a radar device, processing the first and second inputs to remove cooperative target information from the second input based on the first input, and generating a modified radar output based on the processed first and second inputs. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100046170 | COMPOSITE AVIONICS CHASSIS - An avionics chassis for protecting against damage, dust, dirt and incidental moisture over an extended temperature range, EMI shielding to prevent radiation of internal circuit energy and preventing the entrance of external EMI. The chassis provides lower weight, lower levels of radiated emissions and improved resistance to incident external radiation. Electric and magnetic shielding is also provided. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100097263 | MICROWAVE AND MILLIMETERWAVE RADAR SENSORS - A radar sensor system and method for vehicles. An example radar system includes a processor, a plurality of transceivers having antenna(e). The antenna of the transceivers are located at various points around the vehicle. The transceivers include receive and transmit electronics that are in signal communication with the corresponding antenna. The transmit electronics output radar signals via the antenna. The transmit electronics include a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO), a phase locked loop (PLL) component and a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). The receive electronics receive from the antenna any radar reflections corresponding to the outputted radar signals and send signals associated with the radar reflections to the processor. The processor generates output signals based on the signals received from the plurality of transceivers. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100188290 | MARINE RADAR SYSTEM WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEMORY - A radar system includes a memory device operable to store radar-return data characterizing at least one geographic region, a database including a set of chart data representing fixed landmarks associated with the at least one geographic region, and a processor coupled to the memory device. The processor is configured to obtain from the memory device multiple sets of the radar-return data corresponding to successive scans of the at least one geographic region, perform correlation processing among the multiple data sets to yield a first correlated data set, perform correlation processing between the first correlated data set and fixed-landmark chart data associated with the at least one geographic region to yield a second correlated data set, and process the second correlated data set to remove said fixed-landmark chart data therefrom and yield a third data set representing scanned objects that are not fixed landmarks. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20110122017 | SINGLE-ANTENNA FM/CW MARINE RADAR - A high resolution, low power marine radar for use in applications such as the newly mandated barge/river radars that are to be used in very confined spaces such as canals. An example radar system includes frequency-modulated/continuous-wave (FM/CW) radar that uses very low transmitter power (a fraction of a watt) and has an exceptionally short sensing range of a few feet or even inches if needed. | 05-26-2011 |
