Abstract: A multipath detection method for use in a GPS position determination system includes providing a code pseudorange measurement representative of a range of an antenna to a space vehicle and a carrier phase pseudorange measurement representative of the range of the antenna to the space vehicle. A code-carrier measurement difference is then generated between the code pseudorange measurement and the carrier phase pseudorange measurement. This code-carrier measurement difference is examined to determine if a multipath component is present. If the difference indicates that multipath is likely to be present, use of such measurements in computing position solutions, such as attitude solutions, is avoided. A multipath detection system for carrying out the method is also described.

Abstract: A module (56) of a distributed process control system has a prior art kernel submodule (16'), a peripheral submodule (59), and an interface circuit (58) to provide for communications between the two submodules. The kernel submodule communicates with the interface circuit over a module BUS (18') which includes a data BUS and an address BUS. The peripheral submodule communicates with the interface circuit over a peripheral component interface (PCI) BUS (60), a single thirty two bit BUS which is incompatible with the module BUS. The interface circuit permits such communications between the two submodules without requiring any hardware or software changes to the kernel submodule and the module BUS, nor to components of the peripheral submodule or its PCI BUS. The interface circuit includes interface registers, a control circuit which determines which submodule is permitted to write or read data and/or address into or from a given register of the interface registers. Input circuits controlled by control signals produced by the control circuit determines the source of the data and/or addresses written into a given register. An output circuit under the control of the control circuit determines the BUS over which the contents of a given register are transmitted to the addressed submodule.

Abstract: A communications system capable of providing enhanced data integrity and reliability through redundant buses (107R, 107L, 107LB), and a network interface controller for use therewith are disclosed. Redundant conductors (107) conforming to well-known ethernet standards interconnect electronics components. Each component communicates with the conductors (107) through a single network interface card (NIC). Each NIC comprises an ethernet compliant transceiver (101A-C) for each ethernet conductor (107) in communication with the component. Microcontrollers (112) embedded in each NIC synchronously and deterministically place data on the ethernet conductors (107) according to a timing scheme stored in a non-volatile memory (113) means. A heartbit/power monitor (114) is also provided to ensure that data cannot be transmitted in the event of a microcontroller (112) failure. Through the inventive elements presented herein, the communications system provides a high degree of redundancy and fault-tolerance and is therefore well-suited to critical applications in avionics communication.

Abstract: The present invention is an optical transmission system comprising an optical source, a first lens and a second lens, a multimode optical waveguide, and a phase-only filter. The optical source generates an optical signal having a predetermined wavelength which is received by the first lens. The signal is then sent from the first lens through the phase-only filter and then to the second lens. The second lens then focuses the signal into the multimode optical waveguide. The multimode optical waveguide has predetermined dimensions and has multiple modes. The phase-only filter excites a plurality of modes in the optical waveguide to approximate equilibrium modal power distribution as the optical signal is received into the optical waveguide.

Abstract: There is provided a process control system having a display program that permits a program designer to create and edit dynamic picture objects in a persistent heap and save the heap to a storage medium. The display program rapidly reads the dynamic picture objects from the storage medium and invokes the objects for viewing on the system's interactive display. When the persistent heap is subsequently read from the storage medium by an operator, the dynamic picture objects stored in the heap do not need to be instantiated and, thus, invocation of the objects is accelerated and optimized. Accordingly, the persistent heap greatly improves the speed in which picture objects can be read from the storage medium, processed by the display program and called-up to the interactive display.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种具有显示程序的过程控制系统，该程序允许程序设计者在永久堆中创建和编辑动态画面对象并将堆保存到存储介质。 显示程序从存储介质快速读取动态图像对象，并在系统的交互式显示器上调用对象进行查看。 当持续堆随后由操作者从存储介质读取时，存储在堆中的动态图像对象不需要被实例化，因此加速和优化对象的调用。 因此，持久堆大大地提高了可以从存储介质读取图像对象的速度，由显示程序处理并被调用到交互式显示器。
