  • Patent number: 4539472
    Abstract: A data processing card system (10) which is mounted within the general geometrical contoured dimensions of a card-like housing (46). The data processing card system (10) includes a plurality of circuit chip devices (14) mounted to a flexible film carrier member (16). The flexible film carrier member (16) is electrically and mechanically coupled to a substrate carrier member (30). The substrate carrier member (30) includes an electrical pattern (40) at least formed on a first surface (34) thereof for electrical coupling to predetermined input leads of the circuit chip devices (14). The combination of the flexible film carrier member (16) and the substrate carrier member (30) are sandwiched between a pair of upper and lower plastic layers (42 and 44) in a substantially hermetic sealing type environment.

  • Patent number: 4488876
    Abstract: A data processor system for extracting and quantizing aimpoint data from a tored video display of a target tracking operation comprising an operator-controlled joystick by which an operator can superimpose, on a frame-by-frame basis, distinctive display symbols coincident with the aimpoint of the target tracking system and a selected target reference point. The processor includes a programmable calculator which converts the angular separation of the tracking and target reference points into corresponding linear (x, y) data coordinates and then automatically plots the aimpoint from successive display frames on a target silhouette. The programmable calculator also is able to perform a coordinate rotation in order to compensate for angular displacement between the orientation of the tracking system and the target, e.g. to compensate for roll of the aircraft on which a radar tracker is mounted.
