Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a radio navigation emulating GPS  device. In one embodiment, the radio navigation emulating GPS device receives an identifier associated with a conventional radio navaid. The present radio navigation emulating GPS device then retrieves latitude and longitude information corresponding to the received convention radio navaid from a database. A satellite based position information system generates position information for the aircraft on which the present radio navigation emulating GPS device is disposed. The present radio navigation emulating GPS device then generates navigation information for the aircraft using retrieved latitude and longitude information and the satellite based position information for the aircraft. The present radio navigation emulating GPS device then presents the navigation information in a manner which emulates the presentation of navigation information generated by a conventional radio navigation device. The entire emulation process is transparent to the user of the present radio navigation emulating GPS device.

Abstract: A hydraulic fuel control unit (100) for an aircraft engine comprises means (14, 2, 16) for controlling cutoff on stop and cutoff on overspeed of a fuel flow transferred by an output (1) to the engine injectors. A logic module (140) controls the position of a state switch (121, 143) into a test position or a normal position. The state module is managed such that the operation of the overspeed module can be tested each time the system is started on the ground. The architecture of the hydraulic unit (100) is such that operation of the cutoff on stop can be tested during each landing. Correct operation in the overspeed test and in the cutoff on stop test is observed by detecting a difference between a control value (153) of an allowable fuel flow that depends mainly on the engine speed, and a real flow value detected by sensors (22).

Abstract: A special coding scheme is disclosed for more effectively acquiring a long code and frame timing during a cell search in a CDMA communications system. A code set of length M Q-ary code words including symbols from a set of Q  short codes is defined with certain properties. The primary property to be satisfied is that no cyclic shift of a code word yields a valid codeword. The other properties to be satisfied are that there is a one-to-one mapping between a long code message and a valid code word, and a decoder should be able to find both the random shift (thereby implicitly finding the frame timing) and the transmitted code word (i.e., its associated long code indication message) in the presence of interference and noise, with some degree of accuracy and reasonable complexity.

Title: System and method for magnifying and editing images
Inventor: SARFELD EDWARD W
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2000-06-05
Granted: 2009-02-03
Abstract: An image editing system uses a loupe cursor to magnify a selected area of a basic image displayed on a display device. The system generates basic image data representing the selected area of the basic image, and generates magnified image data by magnifying the selected basic image data. It displays within the loupe cursor a loupe image based on the magnified image data. When a user editing signal is received for editing the loupe image, the system generates modified image data, and dynamically modifies the loupe image displayed within the loupe cursor based on the modified image data.
