  • Display methodology for encoding simultaneous absolute and relative altitude terrain data
    Patent number: 7098809
    Abstract: A display control device, having a processor structured for receiving terrain elevation information and samples of current position and altitude above ground data; and one or more algorithms resident on the processor for generating, as a function of the current position and altitude above ground data, one or more display control signals for causing a display device to display, in a monochromatic scale graduated as a function of terrain elevation relative to mean sea level, a strategic portion of the terrain elevation information extending between a minimum elevation of the strategic portion of the terrain elevation information and a pre-selected strategic altitude threshold less than the altitude above ground data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2006
    Assignee: Honeywell International, Inc.
    Inventors: Thea L. Feyereisen, Christopher J. Misiak

  • Interfaces for planning vehicle routes
    Patent number: 6289277
    Abstract: A system for producing vehicle routes such as aircraft flight plans in the presence of weather and other hazards defines static and moving hazards with polygons drawn on a display containing graphic hazard regions. Different hazard types and intensities are displayed differently. Both lateral and vertical geographic depictions are displayed, and hazards can be displayed temporally as well. Users input information and thresholds for hazards.
