| 20080205193 | Method for continuous sweeping and separation of multiple seismic vibrators - A method for simultaneously operating multiple seismic vibrators using continuous sweeps (little or no “listening” time between sweeps) for each vibrator, and recovering the separated seismic responses for each vibrator with the earth signature removed. Each vibrator is given a unique, continuous pilot signal. The earth response to the motion of each vibrator is measured or estimated. The vibrator motion records for each vibrator and the combined seismic data record for all the vibrators are parsed into separate shorter records. The shorter records are then used to form a system of simultaneous linear equations in the Fourier transform domain, following the HFVS method of Sallas and Allen. The equations are then solved for the separated earth responses. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20100206408 | MATERIAL TRANSFER SYSTEM - The present invention discloses a device for transferring fluids to a duct (such as pipe, tubing or a container spout) that may have a size and configuration that are adapted to be variable within a predetermined range. Thus, the device may act as a funnel that can be connected to containers having spouts with a variety of different sizes and thread designs. The device generally comprises a fluid directing member (such as a funnel) and a duct support assembly that is deflected radially outward from the duct and exerts a force radially inward against the duct, which assists in holding the duct in place relative to the device. The device may also have a modular feature that allows interchangeable duct support assemblies and/or a flow control mechanism to regulate the flow of fluid into the duct.

| 20090115637 | AIRCRAFT-CENTERED GROUND MANEUVERING MONITORING AND ALERTING SYSTEM - A monitoring system for alerting operators of aircraft or other vehicles when they are approaching a geographical feature of interest, such as a runway, taxiway or other aircraft. The system includes a database having at least one geo-referenced chart, a processor, a positioning system configured to identify a number of aircraft or other vehicle operational parameters and transmit that data to the processor, and a display unit configured to display the present position of the aircraft on the geo-referenced chart. After receiving the operational parameters, the processor identifies a virtual containment zone centered about the aircraft or vehicle. The processor further monitors the position of the aircraft or other vehicle relative to any geographical features of interest and determines whether at least a portion of a geographical feature is located within the containment area. If such a condition is detected, a notification is generated and presented to the operator who may respond accordingly. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090121901 | AIRCRAFT FLIGHT DISPLAY WITH A NON-LINEAR PITCH SCALE - A display image for use in an aircraft is produced in response to receiving aircraft location, heading, altitude, and pitch data. The location and heading data are employed to access a topographical database and obtain terrain information for a region on the earth's surface ahead of the aircraft. A terrain image is produced from the terrain information and a non-linear pitch scale is superimposed over the terrain image. The non-linear pitch scale corresponds to the relationship of the aircraft pitch and the terrain image. Additional data designating other aircraft operational parameters, such as speed and altitude, are depicted by graphical objects. The terrain image, the non-linear pitch scale, and the graphical objects are combined into the display image. The terrain image and the non-linear pitch scale move in the display image in response to changes in the pitch of the aircraft. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20080252489 | DISPLAY GENERATION SYSTEM - A display generation system that is able to generate display signals for an underlay image with at least one embedded safety pattern and display images for an overlay image. The display generation system and method are able to determine whether there are any anomalies or graphical errors when an overlay display generated by the system or generated by some other system is displayed simultaneously with the underlay image with the embedded safety pattern. The display generation system uses the embedded safety pattern to detect the occurrence of anomalies in the simultaneous display and uses information from its own generated overlay image to detect graphical errors in the simultaneous display. Flight display systems for aircraft can use the display generation system and method of the present invention to display an underlay image depicting geographical scenery in the vicinity of the aircraft while on the ground, during takeoff or in flight. The underlay image is displayed simultaneously with an overlay image depicting standard graphics of a flight display system. | 10-16-2008 |
