  • Patent number: 12311800
    Abstract: A system and for performance prediction of an electric aircraft is disclosed. The system may include a controller including one or more processors configured to execute a set of program instructions stored in a memory. The set of program instructions may be configured to cause the one or more processors to receive aircraft data, route data, and environmental data. The aircraft data may include battery data of the battery of the electric aircraft. The system may also be configured to predict an available range based on the aircraft data and the environmental data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2025
    Assignee: Rockwell Collins, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert W. Wallraff, Gilles Cochet

  • Patent number: 4817199
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for reducing the response time for changing a phase locked loop from one frequency to another in which a condition indicative of a frequency change is detected and the conditions in the phase locked loop are changed in response thereto. Specifically, the counts in the loop divider are reset to a predetermined count and an in-phase condition is simulated in the loop phase detector, thereby creating the conditions that are necessary for the phase locked loop to produce the new frequency without the time consuming incremental frequency adjustments that are normally required.
