Abstract: A process provides automated coherent documentation of the construction of variably configured assemblies and systems, which consist of mechanical, electrical or electronic subassemblies or components using relational database software. A relational database software program is used to define the location of subassemblies or components within the final assembly or system, define important configuration information for the subassemblies and define the interconnection of the subassemblies within the assembly or system. This process improves upon prior art utilizing schematics, assembly drawings, parts lists and configuration logs based upon ANSI standard documentation practices by reducing the time required to produce such documentation and improving the accuracy of such documentation. The use of a relational database allows for various data manipulations that may be desirable such as error prevention, error detection, data analysis and specified searches.

Abstract: A process is provided for near real-time or real-time software based scan conversion in a general purpose computer. The general purpose computer receives data via a digital network comprising range scaled and window detected radar video and antenna azimuth data in polar coordinate format according to the Andrusiak et. al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,923,285. The general purpose computer integrates the polar data into a polar buffer prior to conversion to Cartesian coordinates for display. This process de-couples the polar buffer from the coordinate conversion process so that the polar buffer process keeps up with incoming real-time data. The coordinate conversion process is given some portion of the remaining processor bandwidth such that even if it does not keep up with the real-time rate of the radar, it will display all target information. The polar buffer processing involves integration of the new data with old data in the polar buffer in order to preserve target information until it has been displayed.

Abstract: A system for the distribution of digitized radar video over a digital network is presented. The digital network is located at the low data rate point in the radar scan conversion process resulting in low network bandwidth with no loss of video fidelity. The conversion from analog to digital distribution allows for a totally integrated information network eliminating the need for a dedicated radar distribution network. This approach broadens the use of radar data from traditionally dedicated consoles to all network users. The radar and display system architecture consists of one or more radars and displays. Each radar has a video digitizer and azimuth decoder that is coupled to receive radar analog signals representative of radar data in polar coordinates or other format, which are constructed to provide digital signals representative of said analog signals.
