20150081143 | Systems and Methods for Assuring the Accuracy of a Synthetic Runway Presentation - Automated systems and methods that utilize high-accuracy landing system data to correct the position of a synthetic runway presentation on a pilot display. This is achieved by first computing the “synthetic” lateral and vertical rectilinear deviations of the airplane from an ideal beam using the airplane's GPS position and barometric altitude, the runway location and orientation contained in an airborne database, and approach angle information. This synthetic deviation data is then compared to rectilinear deviation data computed by the computer system as received from a ground installation. The computer system is programmed to determine the differences between the ground-based and GPS-based rectilinear deviation data and then compute a corrected position vector using those differences. The position of the synthetic runway symbology on the pilot display is adjusted as a function of the corrected position vector. | 03-19-2015 |

20130066489 | Consistent Localizer Captures - Instrument Landing System (“ILS”) localizer captures have historically been prone to performance degradations based upon erroneous estimates of the localizer deviation and deviation rate. The angular nature of the ILS beam and the relatively narrow trusted linear course guidance sector of the beam are the primary causes of many such issues. It is highly desirable to convert the angular guidance data into a rectilinear form when used by an autopilot and/or flight director systems, the latter of which allows for more consistent stability and performance with respect to distance to runway threshold. Systems and methods disclosed herein are for accurately converting angular localizer data into rectilinear localizer data, thus allowing for improved localizer capture performance and stability. | 03-14-2013 |

20130017755 | Shaping of the Sound Channel of a Game Animal Call - A call maker typically bores a sound channel from the exhaust port end of the insert through the bell all the way through the insert. A newer innovation was to drill the sound channel to a specific depth in the sound board, but stopping before reaching the tip of the sound board, thus creating back pressure and making the call easier to blow. By drilling the sound channel to just past the seat line, a call maker may then complete the shaping of the sound channel after the forming of the sound board using an end mill to cut a precisely shaped channel with controlled angle, depth, and width to adjust the proper root back pressure and finely tune the call's tone and quality in a replicable manner. | 01-17-2013 |

20150146873 | Rendering and Playback of Spatial Audio Using Channel-Based Audio Systems - Embodiments are described for a method and system of rendering and playing back spatial audio content using a channel-based format. Spatial audio content that is played back through legacy channel-based equipment is transformed into the appropriate channel-based format resulting in the loss of certain positional information within the audio objects and positional metadata comprising the spatial audio content. To retain this information for use in spatial audio equipment even after the audio content is rendered as channel-based audio, certain metadata generated by the spatial audio processor is incorporated into the channel-based data. The channel-based audio can then be sent to a channel-based audio decoder or a spatial audio decoder. The spatial audio decoder processes the metadata to recover at least some positional information that was lost during the down-mix operation by upmixing the channel-based audio content back to the spatial audio content for optimal playback in a spatial audio environment. | 05-28-2015 |
