  • Patent number: 6844856
    Abstract: An antenna system is disclosed including a GPS antenna which is driven by an articulator in an opposite direction to aircraft roll. Aircraft roll is sensed by an onboard navigation system and translation module sends a signal to a processor which provides a drive signal to the articulator. As the aircraft rolls in one direction, the antenna is driven oppositely to maintain the vertical orientation of the antenna.

  • Patent number: 6618674
    Abstract: A method for aligning measurements of a hostile environment includes synchronizing at least two clocks, wherein at least a first clock is in the hostile environment, measuring characteristics of the hostile environment, aligning time domain curves of the collected measurements, correlating the curves using one or more events recorded by each clock, and correcting the curves by adding one or more time offsets. The offsets may be added to a found resent event or at other locations on the time domain curve. A second clock may be located outside the hostile environment or within a same or similar hostile environment. The collecting the measurements may be taken by a first measurement tool in a first device near the first clock and in at least a second device coupled to a second clock.
