摘要:
A touch sensor controller system for use in a vehicle of the type utilizing a software application to be interfaced with by an operator of the vehicle includes a touch sensor and a touch detector associated with the touch sensor. A touch gesture processor is provided which prevents unwanted or unintended touch gestures from being communicated to the application software during certain operating conditions of the vehicle. The touch gesture processor receives inputs of the operating conditions of the vehicle and receives touch gesture information from the touch detector, and the touch gesture processor is operative to determine the types of touch gestures to be permitted to be passed to the software application.

A hardened voyage data recorder includes two subsystems: a removable non-volatile memory and a base containing electronics and firmware for communicating with data sensing systems and for accessing the memory. According to the invention, the memory is protected in a nullboilernull and the electronics includes an ETHERNET interface for connecting to shipboard data acquisition devices. The firmware is preferably configured via web pages. A communications protocol for communicating with the recorder is also disclosed.

Apparatus and methods for processing RF signals are disclosed. A method according to the invention includes receiving a set of time domain energy samples representing signal energy present in an RF spectrum, transforming the set of time domain energy samples into a set of frequency domain power samples, determining from the set of frequency domain power samples whether a signal of interest is present in the RF spectrum, and forwarding to a follow on system a subset of the set of frequency domain power samples, wherein the subset corresponds to the signal of interest. Transforming the time domain samples can include dividing the set of time domain energy samples into a plurality of N windows, each of which is associated with a predefined window period, and performing an FFT on each said window to generate a set of K frequency bins, wherein each frequency bin has a value based on energy present in a predefined frequency band during the corresponding window period. Determining whether the signal is present can include generating an energy map that represents energy present in the RF spectrum as a function of frequency and time. The energy map can be a bitmap having NnullK frequency cells, wherein each frequency cell has a binary value based on the value of a corresponding frequency bin. The binary value can be based on whether the value of the corresponding frequency bin exceeds a predefined threshold.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus of establishing a free-space communication link through a medium. The medium can be an occluded environment with increased absorption and/or scattering effects. The free-space communication link includes a transmitter configured to transmit an optical signal at a wavelength suitable for transmission through the medium without suffering excessive optical losses due to absorption and/or scattering effects. The free-space communication link includes a receiver configured to receive the transmitted optical signal. The transmitter-receiver pair is configured to efficiently transmit optical signals at the suitable wavelength over a distance between about 1 mm and about 50 m. The transmitter and the receiver can be configured as portions of a fiber-optic connector assembly that can be used to connect two fiber-optic cables in an occluded environment.

Methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium for authenticating assertions of a source are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for authenticating an assertion of a source in an environment of distributed control include receiving a notification of the assertion; determining an entity responsible for maintaining an authenticated list of assertions by the source based on a first trusted public record, determining an assertion authenticator for the entity based on a second trusted public record, determining one or more assertions of the source from the assertion authenticator, and authenticating the assertion based on the determined one or more assertions.

An integrated dual-mode visual display system which includes both a large-area heads down display and a heads up display combined in a single unit includes a housing or chassis, a flat panel display attached to the housing or chassis, a HUD projector for projecting HUD images and/or data, and a processor housed within the housing or attached to the chassis for driving both the HUD projector and the flat panel display. The processor comprises a video generator for generating video images to be displayed on the flat panel display and on the HUD. The HUD and the HDD (the flat panel display) can display the same information, completely distinct information, or information that has some commonality (some information is uniquely displayed on one or the other of the HUD and HDD displays, while some information is displayed on both the HUD and the HDD).

A method and system for determining Psuedo-Noise (PN) composite phase is provided. The method includes providing at least three relatively prime PN component codes and partially correlating a received PN composite encoded signal with one of the PN component codes. The method also includes partially correlating the received PN composite encoded signal with a second one of the PN component codes while maintaining phase alignment of the first partially phase aligned PN code through the use of normalized autonomous phase numbers (NAPNs). The received PN composite encoded signal is then phase aligned with a receiver PN composite code phase in steps of epoch lengths of the partially phase aligned PN component codes.

A surface mount, even harmonic mixer is preferably used in point-to-multipoint millimeter wave transceivers. The mixer includes an anti-parallel series arrangement of diodes in one or more ring quads to increase the input 1 dB compression point and third-order input intercept point (IP3), while maintaining the benefits inherent with even harmonic mixing.
