Publication number: 20180074189Abstract: In some examples, a system is configured to determine a reliability index for weather information received by a weather system. The reliability index may indicate a degree of confidence of the accuracy of the weather information. For example, a system may determine a weather product for each of one or more voxels of a plurality of voxels in a three-dimensional or four-dimensional volumetric buffer, and based on a combination of the weather product and the weather information, determine a reliability index for the weather product. The system may display a first visual representation of the weather product and a second visual representation of the corresponding reliability index.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2017Publication date: March 15, 2018Inventors: Ratan Khatwa, Zdenek Eichler, Jan Bilek

Patent number: 9379744Abstract: The radio system comprises a radio unit and an antenna unit coupled to the radio unit. The antenna unit is physically separate and located remote from the radio unit. The antenna unit further comprises a digital pre-distortion engine configured to pre-distort a modulated digital data signal; a digital to analog converter configured to convert the pre-distorted digital data signal to a pre-distorted analog data signal; and a power amplifier configured to amplify the pre-distorted analog data signal which distorts the pre-distorted analog data signal. The distortion introduced by the power amplifier is opposite to the pre-distortion introduced by the digital pre-distortion engine such that the pre-distortion introduced by the digital pre-distortion engine approximately cancels the distortion introduced by the power amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Jan Bilek, Alfonso Malaga, Radek Zaruba, Vit Stencel, Martin Mlaskac

Publication number: 20130342373Abstract: Systems and methods for providing the crew of an airplane or vehicle with a potential traffic-threat alert. When the alert is triggered is based on presumed flight-crew action and reaction times, ownship speed, and required distance to safely stop the ownship before intersection with traffic. An exemplary system located aboard an ownship includes a communication device that receives information from a ground traffic; a memory device that stores ownship information and predefined constants; and a processing device that determines a distance to the traffic when the traffic passes the ownship after the ownship stops at an estimated full-stop location, based on the received ownship information and the predefined constants, determines distance to the ground traffic vehicle, based on the determined point in time, and generates a potential collision alert if the determined distance is less than a predefined safe distance value. An output device outputs the generated potential collision alert.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Tomas Marczi, J.

Patent number: 5197522Abstract: A healdframe (heddle frame) for producing a shed of warp threads, in particular in non-orthodox weaving machines which operate at high frequencies. The healdframe includes a heald rod (1) which has a hollow area (9). Flat protrusions (8) of the edge piece (2) are inserted into the hollow area (9) to secure the edge piece (2) to the heald rod (1). In the flat protrusion (8) of the edge piece (2) is created a cylindrical recess (7) in which a clamping segment (3) is pivotally or rotatably mounted. To secure the flat protrusion (8) in the heald rod (1), a pressure device such as a bolt (5) bears on a front part of the clamping segment (3) while a rear part of the clamping segment (3) bears on a rest (4) fixed in the heald rod (1).Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1992Date of Patent: March 30, 1993Assignee: Tovarny textilnich potreb, Elitex, a.s.
