  • Publication number: 20180038714
    Abstract: A systems and method for determining a position of a moveable device is provided. The system, for example, may include, but is not limited to a variable displacement transformer, an sine wave source electrically connected to the variable displacement transformer, and a processor electrically coupled to the variable displacement transformer, the processor configured to calculate Fourier Transform components by multiplying voltages output by the variable displacement transformer by predetermined values and storing the results in a memory, determining, when a predetermined number of samples have been calculated, a sum of the values in the buffer, and determining the position of the movable device based upon the sum of the values of the buffer.

  • Patent number: 9132912
    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an avionics system on-board an aircraft are provided. In one embodiment, data associated with a take off roll is received, one or more v-speeds of the aircraft associated with the take off roll are calculated, and during the take off roll, the aircraft is controlled based on the one or more calculated v-speeds.

  • Publication number: 20110040431
    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an avionics system on-board an aircraft are provided. In one embodiment, an indication of a position of the aircraft is received, the position is calculated based on the indication, the calculated position is compared to navigational information to establish the suitability of the calculated position for initiating a take off roll path, and an indication of the results is generated. In another embodiment, a desired angle of attack is determined, and during the automated take off, the pitch is adjusted such that an actual angle of attack is substantially the same as the desired angle of attack. In a further embodiment, data associated with a take off roll is received, one or more v-speeds of the aircraft associated with the take off roll are calculated, and during the take off roll, the aircraft is controlled based on the one or more calculated v-speeds.

  • Patent number: 7808413
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing a plurality of input signals are provided. A plurality of selection signals are received. Each of the plurality of selection signals is representative of one of a plurality of input signal characteristics. Each of the input signal characteristics is associated with one of the plurality of input signals. The plurality of input signals are converted into at least one digital waveform. A plurality of signal values may be extracted from the at least one digital waveform based on the plurality of input signal characteristics. An output signal may be generated based on each of the plurality of signal values.
