Patent number: 9007255Abstract: A particular method includes receiving, at a vehicle navigation system, signal strength data indicating strength of a detected radar signal. The method also includes estimating a distance from a vehicle associated with the vehicle navigation system to a source of the detected radar signal based on the signal strength data. The method further includes generating a display that includes a graphical representation related to the source of the detected radar signal. The graphical representation related to the source of the detected radar signal is displayed in a manner that provides information regarding the estimated distance from the vehicle to the source.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: George A.

Publication number: 20120204659Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus includes a head configured to receive a pad for sampling explosive residue on a surface and a feedback system coupled to the head. The feedback system is configured to indicate when a pressure applied by the head is greater than a minimum threshold value. In another aspect, an apparatus includes a head configured to receive a pad and rotate to apply a shear force to the pad for sampling explosive residue on a surface. The apparatus includes a feedback system coupled to the head, which is configured to restrict the shear force applied by the head to be within a predetermined range. In another aspect, a method includes applying pressure to a pad to sample explosive residue on a surface, sensing the pressure applied to the pad, and providing an indication of when the pressure applied to the pad is greater than a threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2011Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: L-3 COMMUNICATIONS CYTERRA CORPORATIONInventors: David H.
