Abstract: An improved small form factor controller includes a tactile input surface with a predetermined pattern of input regions. The pattern of input regions may be illuminated by the controller, and preferably would be generally imperceptible in the absence of illumination. The tactile input surface includes an array of regions that can be correlated with particular input regions on an illumination pattern. The tactile input surface includes an array of regions that can be correlated with particular input regions on an illumination pattern. A processor monitors for tactile input from the user and converts a motion pattern performed by the user to a sequence of corresponding activations, which is compared with stored user codes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for generating a runway landing alert for an aircraft. The method comprises establishing an altitude parameter and a safety envelope for a designated target runway of the aircraft. A track of the aircraft is monitored with reference to a centerline of the target runway. Any deviation by the aircraft from the centerline of the target runway is detected and determined if it is within a margin of error. If the deviation is within the margin of error, an altitude parameter is increased. If the aircraft is determined to still be maneuvering with respect to the centerline of the target runway, the altitude parameter is decreased. Otherwise, an alert is generated if the aircraft is outside of the safety envelope.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for generating a runway landing alert for an aircraft. The method comprises establishing a Runway Awareness Advisory System (RAAS) envelope for the designated target runway of the aircraft. A track of the aircraft is monitored with reference to a centerline of the target runway. Any deviation by the aircraft from the centerline of the target runway is detected and determined if it is within a margin of error. If the deviation is within the margin of error, an altitude parameter of the RAAS envelope is increased. If the aircraft is determined to still be maneuvering with respect to the centerline of the target runway, the altitude parameter of the RAAS envelope is decreased. Otherwise, an alert is generated if the aircraft is outside of the RAAS envelope.
