  • Patent number: 12112280
    Abstract: A method for box regularized particle filtering, used to predict a state of a system, is modified such that it can be implemented in a parallel manner. The modification concerns a step of redistributing state intervals and in particular a determination of a number of sub-intervals intended to replace each state interval. The method is particularly suitable for being implemented in a navigation system with measurement correlation, for example an aircraft navigation system using ground-correlation, and for being executed by a field-programmable or fixed-gate array circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12072191
    Abstract: A box regularized particle filtering method implements a binary representation of numbers. This implementation can be used to determine a box division coordinate and/or to modify state intervals according to a fixed probability kernel, for example according to an Epanechnikov kernel. The method can be executed autonomously within a navigation system using measurement correlation, in particular on board an aircraft such as an airplane, a flying drone or any self-propelled airborne vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230011501
    Abstract: Disclosed is a box-regularized particle filtering process which includes an Epanechnikov kernel smoothing step. For this purpose, the process uses a special method for generating random numbers that follow an Epanechnikov probability density function. The process can be performed autonomously in a navigation system using correlation measurement, in particular on board an aircraft such as an aircraft, a flying drone or any self-propelled aerial carrier.

  • Publication number: 20110137425
    Abstract: The invention concerns a prosthesis (1) comprising a femoral implant (2) and a tibial implant (3) equipped with anchoring rods (21), each anchoring rod (21) not being integral with the corresponding implant and capable of being connected thereto, the prosthesis (1) including therefor means (16, 20; 36, 34) for assembling each anchoring rod (21) to the corresponding implant (2, 3). The invention is characterized in that the means (16, 20; 36, 34) for assembling each medullar anchoring rod (21) to the corresponding implant (2, 3) are configured to allow a plurality of possible angular positions of that same anchoring rod (21) relative to the implant (2, 3) in translation along an axis inscribed in the frontal plane, that is lateral, or in the sagittal plane, that is antero-posterior, of the implant.
