Patent number: 8238284Abstract: Techniques for enabling broadband data rates at mobile terminals in a beyond-line-of-sight communication system are disclosed. Forward link time-diversity transmission methods and a time-diversity transmitter based upon blockage characteristics are provided. The transmitter optionally supports selective time-diversity and can operate at Ku-band or higher frequencies. A forward link time-diversity receiver and methods for receiving a forward link time-diversity signal are also disclosed. The forward link time-diversity receiver optionally provides low-jitter or low-delay characteristics. A return link transmitter and return link transmit methods which avoid blockages are also disclosed. The return link transmitter can include a signal presence detector and blockage prediction filter.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2007Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Viasat, Inc.Inventors: Donald Wilcoxson, John O'Neill, Daniel Chester, Brian Sleight

Publication number: 20120046819Abstract: Methods and systems of controlling an autonomous vehicle are provided. A method comprises controlling operations of the vehicle based at least in part on edge costs. An edge is a representation of a path the vehicle can traverse. Edge costs are determined by an estimation system and are based on at least one of an estimated travel time for an edge and a traverse-ability of the edge. The method further comprises sensing conditions of edges the vehicle is traversing and based on the sensed conditions, dynamically updating the edge costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2008Publication date: February 23, 2012Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Mukul Agrawal, Daniel Chester Churchill

Publication number: 20050210337Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and system for real-time monitoring, validation, optimization and predictive fault analysis in a process control system. The invention monitors process operations by continuously analyzing sensor measurements and providing predictive alarms using models of normal process operation and statistical parameters corresponding to normal process data, and generating secondary residual process models. The invention allows for the creation of a fault analyzer directly from linearly independent models of normal process operation, and provides for automatic generation from such process models of linearly dependent process models. Fuzzy logic is used in various fault situations to compute certainty factors to identify faults and/or validate underlying assumptions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2004Publication date: September 22, 2005Inventors: Daniel Chester, Stephen Daniel, Richard Fickelscherer, Douglas Lenz
