20080312928, Dec 18, 2008

Filed:

Sep 20, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/903174

Inventors:

Robert Patrick Goebel - Menlo Park CA, US
Ravi Shivanna - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

G10L 15/00
G10L 15/26

US Classification:

704255, 704235, 704E15004

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method and system for evaluating a mathematical expression spoken in a natural language by a user. The disclosed method and system provides a natural language speech recognition calculator comprising a speech recognition engine. The spoken mathematical expression is transmitted to the speech recognition engine via an audio input device. Mathematical entities of the spoken mathematical expression are extracted and represented in a hierarchical recursive format of a speech recognition grammar implemented by the speech recognition engine. A symbolic mathematical expression is generated from the extracted mathematical entities and then normalized with common measurement units. The normalized mathematical expression is then evaluated to generate a mathematical result. The mathematical result may be synthesized by a text-to-speech engine to produce a voice output. The mathematical result may be provided on an audio output device, a video display unit, a printer, and an electronic device in a network.

Robert H. Goebel - Chesterfield MO

McDonnell Douglas Corporation - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

G01S 1308

US Classification:

342120

Abstract:

An apparatus for measuring the height and cross-track offset of a surface location from a moving platform is defined. First and second antennas positioned on an underside of the platform are directed downwardly toward the surface. A transmitter associated with one of the antennas transmits a signal toward the surface. A first coherent detector associated with the first antenna detects a received signal corresponding to the transmitted signal as reflected by the surface and generates in-phase and quadrature components of the detected signal relative to the transmitted signal. A second coherent detector associated with the second antenna detects a received signal corresponding to the transmitted signal as reflected by the surface and generates a second set of in-phase and quadrature components of the detected signal relative to the transmitted signal. An analog to digital (A/D) converter converts the in-phase and quadrature components into digital information stored in a memory. A digital signal processor processing the digital information stored in the memory determines the height and cross-track offset of the surface location.

International Classification:

G01S 1300

US Classification:

342 64

Abstract:

A terrain correlation system for use in conjunction with an inertial navigation system of a vehicle is provided which can update position information and which is both independent of altitude and compatible with varying course paths. In the preferred embodiment, reference terrain altitude maps are converted to reference map transformation values. The reference map transformation values are used in conjunction with a terrain correlation process to establish vehicle position. The system also is able to select reference map scenes to the left, right, front or rear of present vehicle position so that curved travel paths can be updated in a manner similar to more conventional straight line vehicle paths.
