  • Patent number: 6466846
    Abstract: A method is provided for determining position integrity in a system having a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) component, such as, for example, a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. For successive alarm limits, with each alarm limit corresponding to a position integrity level, it is determined whether valid position integrity information is available. At the alarm limit at which valid position integrity information is first available, a corresponding position integrity level is determined. If no valid position integrity information is available for any of the alarm limits, a default position integrity level is then designated. An associated apparatus, system, and computer software program product are also provided.

  • Patent number: 4601021
    Abstract: A graphics display terminal is disclosed having a capability of responding to at least two unique input commands. A first assigns a segment to a group of classes and also removes the segment from membership in another group of classes. A second is a matching condition which requests that all the segments lying within a certain group of classes and/or not lying within another group of classes be identified, the CRT terminal highlighting these identified segments in response to a command from the operator. The second command is called a matching condition. Once all of the segments in a memory are located, which satisfy the matching condition, the operator can direct the terminal to blink or otherwise highlight the identified segments retrieved from memory.
