  • Publication number: 20060290562
    Abstract: Maritime contact management system and methods are provided which, when integrated with a ship's navigational RADAR and Global Positioning System, accurately and dynamically calculates ownship course and speed, tracks contacts, and maintains an active and historical database while algorithmically calculating and digitally displaying multiple contacts to include at a minimum, the contacts' track number, name, identification, class type, courses, speeds, target angles, closest points of approach, and geopositional data to include all relevant latitudes and longitudes. As a collision avoidance system it uses methods to calculate ownship required courses and speeds as well as time to arrive at the user-selected points in order to either open or close a contact as well as calculates true wind direction and speed as well as desired relative wind direction and speed envelopes in support of flight operations.

  • Publication number: 20060090712
    Abstract: A system is provided which, when integrated with an internal combustion engine, generates hydrogen and oxygen gases to enrich an internal combustion engine's petroleum fuel source. The system's primary components are a gas generation unit, heated water supply tanks, and a gas combiner for mixing generated hydrogen and oxygen gas with petroleum fuel to create hydrogenated and oxygenated petroleum fuel. The gas generation unit includes at least one cathode, at least one anode, vacuum regulatory units, a thermal transfer system, an electrical heating element, a feedwater management system, a gas collection and supply system, and water traps. The heated water tanks include a thermal transfer system, pressure and regulatory units as well as a distillation apparatus for producing distilled water. Electrical power is supplied to the system's power amplifier from the internal combustion engine's alternator or associated electrical system.
