摘要： An image sensor attached to an aircraft generates an image. The image includes a runway and other objects. The edges within the image are detected and Nav Data is used to predict the coordinates defining the runway. The predicted coordinates and the detected edges are correlated to determine the location of the runway within the image. The location of the runway within the image is then used to determine the lateral and vertical deviation of the aircraft relative to the runway.

摘要： A pulse sample demodulator which has a first sample and hold circuit detects the peak amplitude of the time varying waveform during a short sampling interval. The first sample and hold circuit is triggered by narrow pulses produced by a circuit responsive to the occurrence of each peak in the time varying waveform. A second sample and hold circuit, sampling during an interval not coincident with the first sampling interval, receives the information stored in the first sample and hold circuit; but sampling at a different interval, it does not receive the time varying signal applied to the first sample and hold circuit, which would otherwise appear as ripple in the output of the demodulator.

摘要： A motor control system and method implements non-trapezoidal motor control and meets established “fail passive” regulatory guidelines. In particular, a system and method of controlling a multi-phase brushless motor that includes a multi-pole permanent magnet rotor, and an individual, electrically isolated stator winding associated with each phase that includes a first terminal and a second terminal. A motor command is supplied to a motor control. The motor control is configured such that the first terminal of each stator winding is selectively coupled to a power source at a first duty cycle, and the second terminal of each stator winding is selectively coupled to a power source asynchronously with the first terminal of each stator winding at a second duty cycle.

摘要： A variable rate limit is implemented in an active inceptor haptic feedback control system. The rate limit is modulated based on a rate error between an aircraft rate command supplied from the active inceptor, and actual aircraft rate. As the rate error increases, the rate limit is reduced, which limits inceptor movement and provides haptic feedback to a user when the rate error is exceeded.

摘要： A user interface linkage system includes first and second user interfaces that are linked by a single hydraulic circuit. The system is configured to provide compensation for relatively slow changes in hydraulic fluid pressure due, for example, to temperature variations. The system is also configured to allow the user interfaces to be selectively unlinked from each other.

摘要： A pilot flight control stick haptic feedback mechanism provides variable force feedback to the pilot flight control stick. The flight control stick is movable to a control position in a displacement direction. A motor control unit is operable to selectively supply motor feedback signals to a motor that is coupled to the flight control stick. The motor is responsive to the motor feedback signals to supply a variable feedback force to the flight control stick in a direction that opposes the displacement direction. A passive electromagnetic damping mechanism is electrically coupled to the motor and is at least selectively and passively supplies a non-braking damping force to the flight control stick.

摘要： A primary flight display (PFD) for an aircraft generating a 3-dimensional (3D) symbology indicative of the aircraft situational information. The 3D symbology includes a 3D vertical path error symbol and a 3D lateral flight path error symbol. Several 3D altitude symbols are also displayed which collectively render a 3D representation of the aircraft situation. The 3D symbology enhances the pilot's awareness of the aircraft situation to accurately control the aircraft, and to easily to monitor the performance during manual and automatic flight.
