Appl. No.:

12/051740

Inventors:

Wesley J. Hawkinson - Chanhassen MN, US
Kevin Sweeney - Minneapolis MN, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01S 15/88

US Classification:

367 89, 367131

Abstract:

A method for navigating underwater is disclosed. The method uses a navigation system to project a first velocity measurement along one or more signal beams having a second velocity measurement, where the second velocity measurement is related to at least one of the one or more signal beams. The method determines a position and location of an object associated with the navigation system based on a prediction of at least the second velocity measurement, and the navigation system is adjusted to perform within a prescribed measurement range based on a covariance of the first and second velocity measurements. The performance adjustments made in determining the position and location of the object are operable independent of the navigation system maintaining each of the signal beams due to one or more external environmental conditions.

C. , of less than about 5. times. 10. sup. 6 dynes/cm. sup. 2, and each pellet has a substantially tack-free surface. This invention further discloses a polymeric composition in pellet form suitable for molding articles. The composition comprises a tacky hot melt composition comprising at least one high molecular weight triblock copolymer of the general configuration A-B-A and a plasticizer and a pelletizing aid. The pelletizing aid substantially surrounds the tacky composition such that the molded articles are substantially free from surface tack.

US Classification:

356 72

Abstract:

Prior art instruments for testing a display unit suffer from the disadvantage that a testing system has to be customized for each type of display unit. The present invention optical measurement system, by utilizing an optical sensor, a three-dimensional transport system and a focus lens, provides for a universal system which is adaptable to test all kinds of display units. To provide for mobility and compactness, the optical sensor, the transport mechanism, the focus lens, in addition to the electronic circuit cards for controlling the motions thereof, are all mounted within a movable cart. To ensure that all kinds of display units may be tested on the same cart, a pivotable mirror assembly is mounted to the cart, with its line of sight axis aligned, closely to the screen of any to be tested display unit, such that the output from the display unit is reflected onto the focus lens and subsequently measured by the optical sensor.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises determining a first value of a coefficient of an edge-determining algorithm in response to a spatial resolution of a first image acquired with an image capture device onboard a vehicle, a spatial resolution of a second image, and a second value of the coefficient in response to which the edge-determining algorithm generated a second edge map corresponding to the second image. The method further comprises determining, with the edge-determining algorithm in response to the coefficient having the first value, at least one edge of at least one object in the first image. The method further comprises generating, in response to the determined at least one edge, a first edge map corresponding to the first image. The method further comprises determining at least one navigation parameter of the vehicle in response to the first and second edge maps.

International Classification:

Abstract:

A system to detect spoofing attacks is provided. The system includes a satellite-motion-and-receiver-clock-correction module, a compute-predicted-range-and-delta-range module, a subtractor, and delta-range-difference-detection logic. The satellite-motion-and-receiver-clock-correction module periodically inputs, from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, a carrier phase range for a plurality of satellites. The satellite-motion-and-receiver-clock-correction module outputs a corrected-delta-carrier-phase range for a current epoch to a first input of a subtractor. The compute-predicted-range-and-delta-range module outputs a predicted delta range to a second input of the subtractor. The predicted delta range is based on inertial measurements observed for the current epoch. The subtractor outputs a difference between the corrected-delta-carrier-phase range and the predicted delta range for the current epoch to delta-range-difference-detection logic. The delta-range-difference-detection logic determines if the difference exceeds a selected-range threshold. If the difference exceeds the selected-range threshold, the delta-range-difference-detection logic determines the GNSS receiver was spoofed in the current epoch.
