Patent number: 5842142Abstract: An alternate destination planner for searching a navigation database in an aircraft and identifying a plurality of alternate destinations at which the aircraft can land in the event of an emergency. For each identified alternate destination, the alternate destination planner calculates an estimated time of arrival (ETA) and an amount of fuel remaining upon arrival at the destination. The calculation of the ETA and the remaining fuel is based on user-modifiable parameters of aircraft speed, aircraft altitude, wind direction and speed, outside air temperature, and the type of routing the aircraft will follow from a diversion point to the alternate destination. The plurality of alternate destinations are displayed to a pilot of the aircraft according to the ETA to each alternate destination, with the closest alternate destination by time listed first. The plurality of alternate destinations are also displayed to the pilot on a map of the surrounding region that is provided to the pilot on a navigation display.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1995Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Daniel J.

Patent number: 5797106Abstract: An improvement to an aircraft flight management system allows the flight crew to enter a predetermined position, which may be either the aircraft's current position or a defined waypoint, and a course line, or vector from the predetermined position. The system responds by displaying to the flight crew the predetermined position and course line, and then proceeds to link the course line to the existing flight plan. The flight crew may then either execute the modified flight plan or erase the modification and enter an alternate plan. The procedure of entering the predetermined position and course line, and linking to the existing flight plan may all be done with the autopilot activated, whereby appropriate lateral navigational signals are generated and supplied to the autopilot flight director to direct the aircraft along the newly specificed route. In addition, accurate performance data, such as distance to go, estimated time of arrival, and fuel remaining at each waypoint are displayed to the flight crew.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1996Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Daniel J. Murray, John C. Griffin, III, Bruce L. Turner, Peter D. Gunn, Thomas E. Twiggs, Henry V. VonJouanne, George W. Schraw, Ann M. Tracy

Patent number: 5246751Abstract: Hydroxy-functionalized polyethers having imide groups in their backbones are prepared by contacting an imide-containing bisphenol with the diglycidyl ether of the same or another bisphenol under conditions sufficient to cause the nucleophilic phenolic hydroxyl moieties to react with epoxy groups. These poly(hydroxy ether imides) possess a combination of high barrier to oxygen transmission (i.e., oxygen transmission rates of less than 10.0 cm.sup.3 -mil/100 in.sup.2 -atm-day) and high heat resistance (i.e., T.sub.g above 120.degree. C.). These polymers are suitable for use in the manufacture of packaging materials with high barrier to oxygen.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1992Date of Patent: September 21, 1993Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Jerry E.
