Publication number: 20250342766Abstract: In some examples, a terrain awareness device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a terrain feature in a travel path of the ownship vehicle. The processing circuitry is also configured to present, on a display, a first graphical user interface indicating the terrain feature. The terrain awareness device also includes a memory configured to store a location of the terrain feature, and the terrain awareness device is configured to receive traffic data from a traffic device. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a location of a second vehicle based on the traffic data and determine that the ownship first vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with a second vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a second graphical user interface indicating that the ownship vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with the second vehicle and present the second graphical user interface on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2025Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: James Alexander Nicholls, Richard Berckefeldt, Jennifer Hounslow, Supratik Gon, Esko Mannisto, Michael Mead, Willard R.

Patent number: 11857832Abstract: A body stretching system, including a limb stretching unit, including a main body, a gripping structure disposed on at least a portion of the main body to removably connect to a first limb of a user, and a ratchet assembly disposed within at least a portion of the main body and connected to the gripping structure to removably connect to a second limb of the user and/or a stationary object and stretch the first limb away from or towards the second limb and/or the stationary object by increasing a tension level between the first limb and the second limb in response to moving the gripping structure, and a rack assembly removably connected to the limb stretching unit to facilitate stretching.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Inventor: Michael Mead

Patent number: 11830368Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assisting vehicle operation for collision avoidance. One method involves determining a horizontal adjustment for the vehicle based at least in part on an output from a collision avoidance system and displaying, on a display device, a graphical indication of the horizontal adjustment at a position on the display device with respect to a reference position of a second graphical indication of a current orientation of the vehicle resulting in a distance between the position of the graphical indication and the reference position of the second graphical indication corresponding to the horizontal adjustment. The distance dynamically updates in response to changes to the orientation of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Michael Mead, Rodney Kennan, James Alexander Nicholls, Gregory Carlucci, Erik A. Ringnes, Victor Files Tarbutton, Jr.
