  • Patent number: 11908335
    Abstract: An avionic system for a rotorcraft includes a data source and an enhanced ground proximity warning system. The data source has terrain data and obstacle data stored therein. The enhanced ground proximity warning system can be selectively switched, by a pilot, to operate in either a normal mode or a desensitized mode. The enhanced ground proximity warning system receives flight data, retrieves terrain data and obstacle data from the data source, evaluates the retrieved terrain data and the obstacle data to determine variations in elevations of terrain and obstacles in predetermined area that is a predetermined distance ahead of the current position and along the flight path, and based at least in part on the determined variations, selectively generate a prompt that suggests that the pilot switch the ground proximity warning system to the desensitized mode.

  • Patent number: 11908371
    Abstract: In an automatic gamma adjustment system with environmental adaptability, the system is installed in a display device and an image signal source is selected, such that an image signal is received and converted into first YUV signals, while detecting the surrounding situation to obtain at least one environmental data, and obtaining a gamma control parameter of a display screen of the display device according to the environmental data. When the environmental data is calculated to obtain a maximum brightness current value, the gamma control parameter is used to calculate the first YUV signals as second YUV signals, and the maximum brightness current value and the second YUV signals are sent to the display device for displaying the image. Therefore the grayscale layering effect of an image presented to people can be adjusted by automatically correcting the gamma value according to the surrounding situation at any time.
