  • Patent number: 6336149
    Abstract: A macro recording and playback device has inputs for coupling to a plurality of computer input devices. The computer input devices provide a sequence of input messages for performing a repetitive function. In a record mode, a macro indicative of the sequence of input messages is stored in a memory, with an identifier associated with the macro. In a playback mode, the macro causes output messages to a computer device which are indicative of the serious of input messages. Thereby, playing the macro causes the computing device to perform the repetitive function. Further, a method is disclosed for receiving in a parallel manner a sequence of input messages from computer input devices, with the parallel messages forming a data word. The sequence of data words are stored, forming a macro. When the macro is selected and played, messages are sent to the computer device indicative of the received input messages.

  • Patent number: 4062011
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing the effects of radar platform movement and for otherwise processing doppler radar signals in a moving target indicator doppler radar in which targets in the main beam having reflective characteristics sufficient to override side lobe attenuation are tracked relative to the side lobes and the residual doppler frequency for such targets resulting from side lobe detection calculated. Based on this calculation, the appropriate ones of a bank of doppler filters are inhibited at the appropriate range bin to prevent a false target indication without inhibiting the display of moving targets in the main beam at the same range but having different doppler frequencies.
