Abstract: A machine-readable media including executable instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a flight management system in a following aircraft. The machine-readable media configured to provide instructions to a flight management system of a following aircraft operating according to a following aircraft planned path, in reference to a target aircraft operating according to a target aircraft planned path, receive information regarding the target aircraft, set a required time of arrival at an achieve-by-point, and engage a required time of arrival function to enable the following aircraft to reach the achieve-by-point by the required time of arrival.

Abstract: A channelizer (16) and combiner (22) in a cellular-telephone base station (10) are implemented in fast-Fourier-transform butterfly circuits (FIG. 4 ) in which outputs of adders (40, 46) are applied to successive adders (46, 50) in bit alignment. Although this makes it necessary for the input to the first adder (40) to leave some of the adder's input-port bit width unused in order to avoid the carries that a bit-aligned architecture cannot accommodate, the resultant accuracy exceeds that of a bit-offset architecture, because it can take advantage of rounding (56, 58) applied to each fast-Fourier-transform pass's input operands.
