Publication number: 20150213721Abstract: A system and method for passively detecting aircraft wingtip strikes includes generating a digital base map represented by a plurality of aerodrome cells. A numeric value is assigned to each of the aerodrome cells that is representative of the specific wingtip strike threat associated with that aerodrome cell. An index count array is generated that has a separate entry for each numeric value. A digital aircraft structure is generated that is representative of an aircraft, and is represented by a plurality of aircraft cells. A portion of the aerodrome cells are replaced with the plurality of aircraft cells. Each numeric value of the aerodrome cells that are replaced is counted to determine a replacement count associated therewith and that is entered into the separate entry in the index count array for that numeric value. One or more potential aircraft wingtip strikes are detected based on the replacement counts.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2014Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Kevin J. Conner, Yasuo Ishihara, Steve Johnson, Ray Berry

Patent number: 9037319Abstract: A system and method to display, when within an envelope of an ownship's flight path, a symbol representing wake turbulence from another aircraft based on aircraft type and flight parameters received from the other aircraft, the symbol being formatted to indicate the severity of portions of the wake turbulence. The format is modified periodically in accordance with the aircraft's flight path and a decay rate of the wake turbulence.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Kevin J Conner, Yasuo Ishihara, Ray Berry

Patent number: 7499241Abstract: A media cartridge autoloader is disclosed. A rotary arm that operates a cartridge transporter is rotated in one direction to reach a reference position. With reference to the reference position, the rotary arm is rotated through a predetermined angle in the opposite direction to reach a position, which is defined as a home position. The rotary arm includes a flag array, and a non-flag section at an end of the flag array. A photo sensor detects the arrival of the rotary arm at the reference position in response to a detection of the non-flag section.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2005Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignees: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd., Quantum CorporationInventors: Masakazu Kawano, Tomoaki Sakaguchi, David Ray Berry

Patent number: 7023876Abstract: A Point-to-point protocol configured to provide communication exchange between a first device and a second device. The point-to-point protocol is configured to negotiate an exchange rate and establish a connection for the communication exchange between the first and second device. As system dynamics change, the point-to-point protocol is also configured to permit application programs in the first device and the second device to request renegotiation of the exchange rate at any time. The point-to-point protocol is also configured to provide confirmation to a sending application program that information was delivered to a receiving application program.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2001Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: David Ray Berry, Daniel Brian McGee, Susan Jane Gray

Patent number: 6829116Abstract: The tape cartridge autoloader library system comprises at least one read/write tape drive, a tape cartridge picker, a single tape cartridge interface, and at least one pair of tape cartridge transport magazines within a compact form factor that fits into a standard library rack mount of cabinet. The autoloader/library system is a complete tape cartridge library that stores, manages, and automatically exchanges a plurality of tape cartridges between the tape drive unit, the single cartridge interface, and the tape cartridge transport magazines. The tape cartridge transport magazines are each configured to receive and store a plurality of individual tape cartridges in a horizontal relationship. The tape cartridge transport magazines also transport the individual tape cartridges within the tape cartridge transport magazine so that a specific one of the tape cartridges is in position for selection by the cartridge picker.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2000Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: John C. Owens, Pat Eliot Collins, Ryan Stuart Porter, Peter A. Johnson, Alexander Chan, Kim M.

Patent number: 6693758Abstract: The tape cartridge transport magazine receives and stores tape cartridges in a horizontal orientation relative to the tape cartridge transport magazine to achieve a substantially smaller form factor. Once loaded into the magazine, the tape cartridges are shuffled in a vertical closed loop within the magazine so that any one of the tape cartridges can be positioned for selection by a cartridge picker. During shuffling within the magazine, individual tape cartridges are not flipped or reoriented, but remain properly oriented for selection by the cartridge picker. When used with a tape cartridge autoloader/library system as disclosed herein, a pair of interchangeable magazines can be utilized to store and provide tape cartridges for selection by a rotating cartridge picker.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: Scott Ryan Patterson, Paddy Eliot Collins, Ryan Stuart Porter, Peter A. Johnson, Alexander Chan, Kim M. Thomas, Christopher Lee Felton, David Ray Berry, Thua Nang Dai, Dominic John Maglin, Theodore James Oade, Gary Eugene Sadler, Sam Wen, John C. Owens

Patent number: 5935293Abstract: A fast quench reaction includes a reactor chamber having a high temperature heating means such as a plasma torch at its inlet and a means of rapidly expanding a reactant stream, such as a restrictive convergent-divergent nozzle at its outlet end. Metal halide reactants are injected into the reactor chamber. Reducing gas is added at different stages in the process to form a desired end product and prevent back reactions. The resulting heated gaseous stream is then rapidly cooled by expansion of the gaseous stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1998Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies CompanyInventors: Brent A. Detering, Alan D. Donaldson, James R. Fincke, Peter C. Kong, Ray A. Berry
