Aircraft Communication Frequency Nomination

US Patent:
6473675, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Aug 11, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/638086
Inventors:
William G. Sample - Paola KS
Assignee:
Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G06F 1700
US Classification:
701 3, 701 14, 701206, 701201
Abstract:
An aviation facility nominating device for an aircraft includes a position receiving component that receives position data indicating a position of the aircraft, an aviation data receiving component that receives aviation data associated with a plurality of aviation facilities, a facility selecting component for selecting aviation data for a selected plurality of the aviation facilities based on a position of the aircraft and a nominating component that nominates at least one but not all of the selected plurality of aviation facilities as a nominated aviation facility likely to be of interest to a pilot based on the position of the aircraft. In another embodiment, an aviation signal nominating device includes a position receiving component that receives position data indicating a position of the aircraft, an aviation signal receiving component that receives a plurality of aviation signals associated with an aviation facility, each aviation signal having a prescribed frequency, and a nominating component that nominates at least one but not all of the plurality of aviation signals as a nominated aviation signal likely to be of interest to a pilot based on the position of the aircraft.

Method And Apparatus For Limiting Attitude Drift During Turns

US Patent:
6556897, Apr 29, 2003
Filed:
Aug 9, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/216478
Inventors:
Kenneth P. Katz - Overland Park KS
James J. Lehfeldt - Olathe KS
Joseph M. Oberg - Olathe KS
William G. Sample - Paola KS
Ronald D. Wilson - Olathe KS
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G06F 100
US Classification:
701 4, 241 321
Abstract:
An apparatus, method and computer program product useful for supplying the pilot of an aircraft with aircraft attitude information. During bank angles exceeding a predefined limit, the roll gyro is slaved to a roll angle estimator for improved system accuracy.

Method, Apparatus And Computer Program Product For Estimating Airplane Attitude With Reduced Sensor Set

US Patent:
6473676, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Dec 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/746316
Inventors:
Kenneth P. Katz - Overland Park KS
James J. Lehfeldt - Olathe KS
Joseph M. Oberg - Olathe KS
William G. Sample - Paola KS
Ronald D. Wilson - Olathe KS
Assignee:
Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G05D 100
US Classification:
701 4, 701 3, 701 7, 244158 R, 244171, 340967
Abstract:
An apparatus, method and computer program product useful for supplying the pilot of an aircraft with aircraft attitude information in the event of full or partial failure of the gyroscopic system normally used to supply such data. The pitch angle, roll angle and heading angle estimates provided by the apparatus, method and computer program product can be displayed to the pilot thereby alleviating the requirement that the pilot mentally integrate such data from the remaining aircraft instruments.

US Patent:
2002000, Jan 24, 2002
Filed:
Jul 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/902968
Inventors:
William Sample - Paola KS, US
International Classification:
H04Q007/20
US Classification:
455/431000, 455/067100, 455/067700
Abstract:
