  • Publication number: 20220381055
    Abstract: An assistive device for a door having a door lock mounted adjacent to a doorknob. The door lock is rotationally actuatable via a thumb lever. The assistive device comprises a handle adapted to mount on to the thumb lever without obstructing the doorknob and a mounting slot formed between opposed ends of the handle for forming a frictional fit between the handle and the thumb lever. The handle includes an elongated end configured to provide leverage for rotation of the thumb lever using the handle, and an arcuate end for grasping. The mounting slot at least partially surrounds the thumb lever in a plane of rotation thereof.

  • Patent number: 7737878
    Abstract: A collision and conflict avoidance system for autonomous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) uses accessible on-board sensors to generate an image of the surrounding airspace. The situation thus established is analyzed for imminent conflicts (collisions, TCAS violations, airspace violations), and, if a probable conflict or collision is detected, a search for avoidance options is started, wherein the avoidance routes as far as possible comply with statutory air traffic regulations. By virtue of the on-board algorithm the system functions independently of a data link. By taking into account the TCAS zones, the remaining air traffic is not disturbed unnecessarily. The system makes it possible both to cover aspects critical for safety and to use more highly developed algorithms in order to take complicated boundary conditions into account when determining the avoidance course.

  • Patent number: 7365705
    Abstract: An aircraft flight control display for orientation of the pilot during an approach of the aircraft toward a destination has a center of the display as its fixed point. An aircraft symbol with a center depicts the longitudinal axis as well as a lateral line to depict the current attitude of the aircraft. A destination position symbol has a reference line and a position symbol, with a skyline having a center. The destination position symbol is located at a distance from the center and its reference line points to the center as the reference point. The destination position symbol is rotated around the reference point dependent on the relative position of the aircraft's direction or the flight direction to the desired destination direction.

  • Publication number: 20050049763
    Abstract: A low-altitude flight guidance system for an aircraft including a warning generator that generates a warning based upon a predicted position. The system further including a first sensor system having a terrain database and a calculation module that determines a current position of the aircraft with respect to terrain stored in the terrain database and that determines a reference altitude hDB of the terrain at the current position. The system further includes a second sensor system and a module that determines a predetermined flight altitude difference ?hF at the predicted position and terrain data in a region U of the predicted position. Moreover, the system includes an altitude prediction module that predicts an altitude and forwards the predicted altitude to the warning generator. The warning is based upon the aircraft reaching, approaching, or exceeding a warning altitude limit, and the altitude prediction module determination for the predicted position is based upon a prediction set point.

  • Patent number: 5684160
    Abstract: The invention is directed to 3-aminopyrroles of formula I, which are largely new, to methods for the preparation and to their use as medicinal agents and preparations, as well as to anti-convulsive or analgesic preparations containing these 3-aminopyrroles.Disubstituted and monosubstituted amino groups are claimed as 3-amino substituents.The invention pursues the objective of developing largely new 3-aminopyrroles, which have CNS activity, particularly ones which anti-convulsive or analgesic properties, as well as methods for their preparation and their use as medicinal preparations.Pursuant to the invention, the synthesis is carried out by cyclizing open-chain precursors, such as aminoacrylic acid derivative, or by modifying pyrroles.
