Patent number: 8566015Abstract: System, method and computer program product for determining bearing using ADS-B and TCAS standard reply bearing estimates are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for determining bearing based upon ADS-B signals includes receiving ADS-B signals and standard transponder reply signals. A first bearing estimate is based on the ADS-B signal. A second bearing estimate is based on the standard transponder reply signals. A database is developed according to the first and second bearing estimates via the ADS-B and standard transponder reply signals. In one embodiment, where ADS-B signals are unavailable, associated ADS-B signals associated with the standard transponder reply previously stored in the database are used to determine bearing.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Ruy L. Brandao, Ruy C. Brandao, Sr., Christine M. Haissig, John Weed, Eric A. Euteneuer

Patent number: 8108133Abstract: Vehicle position keeping systems and methods. The system reduces vehicle congestion by maintaining a position of a first vehicle relative to a second vehicle, determining guidance corrections based on a track state referenced to the second vehicle that take into account a tracking position error indicative of the error in the position of the first vehicle. The guidance corrections maintain desired spacing between the first vehicle and at least the second vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Christine M. Haissig

Patent number: 7724178Abstract: A device for determining the bearing of a vehicle using Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) and Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) data. The device includes a means to communicate with the vehicle such as a transmitter, receiver, and antenna. The device also includes a processor configured to receive the IRU and TCAS data from the vehicle via the communication means and then generate a bearing value using the received data.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Ruy L.

Patent number: 6963795Abstract: A position keeping system, useable to maintain a position of a vehicle in a vehicle formation, to keep all formation members flying at a specified velocity and altitude, and to perform commanded maneuvers, determines guidance corrections based on a track state referenced to a leader or a virtual leader of the formation and on a formation position error indicating the error in the position of the vehicle in the formation. The guidance corrections are required so as to maintain the vehicles in the formation.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2002Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: Honeywell Interntaional Inc.Inventors: Christine M. Haissig, Paul P. Samanant, Dale Enns, Eric Euteneuer

Patent number: 6690296Abstract: Systems, methods and protocol for assuring separation of aircraft during parallel approaches. The systems, methods and protocol function in cooperation with existing TCAS to facilitate approaches of multiple aircraft on closely-spaced parallel runways. The systems, methods and protocol utilize data transmissions from equipped aircraft to obtain tracking information which is used in separation algorithms to generate alerts to an observer of possible threats. The systems, methods and protocol facilitate parallel approaches to closely-spaced parallel runways under Instrument Approach Procedure.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1998Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Honeywell Inc.Inventors: William R. Corwin, Christine M. Haissig, Michael Jackson, Paul P. Samanant, Scott I. Snyder, Jarold Weiser

Patent number: 5822740Abstract: A direct adaptive fuzzy controller having an adaptation mechanism that modifies the locations of output membership functions to improve performance of the fuzzy controller. The controller has a fuzzy rule base that has a different or unique output membership function for each fuzzy rule. The adaptation mechanism modifies the location of the output membership functions in response to the performance of the controller system, to continuously improve its performance. The controller is a feedback mechanism that functions not only using measured outputs of the process controlled, but has feedforward compensation that causes the controller to anticipate feedback due to measured disturbances or other parameters of the process.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1996Date of Patent: October 13, 1998Assignee: Honeywell Inc.Inventors: Christine M. Haissig, Michael A. Woessner, Dimitris K. Pirovolou
