Abstract: A voice activatable flight deck system including a voice recognition and processing system for receiving and processing input voice commands and determining machine commands for the voice activatable flight deck system. The system generates a voice ribbon specifying voice commanded and suggested values for attributes associated with the voice command.

Abstract: A voice activatable flight deck system including a voice recognition and processing system for receiving and processing input voice commands and determining machine commands for the voice activatable flight deck system. The system provides indications as to whether user interface functional elements are voice command enabled, disabled or whether voice command input is not available. The system provides directional feedback to the voice command depending on whether a pilot in command or second in command issued the voice input.

Abstract: A method for operating a real time simulation on a non real time computer platform is disclosed. In the method, a simulated time counter is initialized at a first simulated time step. Then, all processor threads that must complete execution during a current simulated time period are run. The simulated time counter is increment by a next simulated time step and the process starts again. The method may also include a wall time counter that is initiated at the same time the simulated time counter is initiated. The wall time counter increments at a set interval. The wall time counter is checked against the simulated time counter after all current processor threads are run. If the wall time counter is greater than the simulated time counter, the simulated time counter is incremented by one time period. If the wall time counter is not greater than the simulated time counter, a future processor thread is executed.

Abstract: Simulation of devices coupled to a bus is provided by software components. A computer is coupled to the bus via communication adapters and executes the software components. The software components utilize network variables for communicating with other devices attached to the bus. A device component encapsulates functionality. A functionality component provides the functionality and provides a standard set of interfaces. The functionality component is specialized for each device to be simulated. A user interface component of the functionality component implements a user interface associated with the simulated device and is also specialized for each simulated device. The user interface component provides a user the ability to modify inputs for the device and cause it to exercise the functionality.
