International Classification:

B64D 31/00
F02K 1/46
F02K 3/02

US Classification:

244 53R, 602261, 60262

Abstract:

Nozzle exit configurations and associated systems and methods are disclosed. An aircraft system in accordance with one embodiment includes a jet engine exhaust nozzle having an internal flow surface and an exit aperture, with the exit aperture having a perimeter that includes multiple projections extending in an aft direction. Aft portions of individual neighboring projections are spaced apart from each other by a gap, and a geometric feature of the multiple can change in a monotonic manner along at least a portion of the perimeter. Projections near a support pylon and/or associated heat shield can have particular configurations, including greater flow immersion than other projections.

Mark Heng - Scottsdale AZ, US

International Classification:

H04B001/00

US Classification:

455/150100, 455/151300

Abstract:

A method of determining a reference frequency in a wireless communication device is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a known frequency source; receiving a signal from an unknown frequency source; and calculating an estimate of the frequency of the signal from the unknown frequency source based upon the frequency of the known frequency source. establishing a communication link based upon the frequency of the signal from the unknown frequency source. A wireless communication device according to the present invention is also disclosed comprising a first frequency source associated with a GPS receiver and generating a substantially fixed frequency; a second frequency source associated with a host device and generating an unknown frequency; a counter coupled to the second frequency source; and a control circuit coupled to the counter, the control circuit determining the frequency of the second frequency source based upon the substantially fixed frequency and a value of the counter.

Russell D. Thomas - Chandler AZ

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04L 2722

US Classification:

375 83

Abstract:

A symbol state trellis maximum likelihood detection method greatly limits the number of possible interfering symbols which require examination. This method has considerable processing advantages over other optimal maximum likelihood detection methods. For practical configurations, the symbol state trellis maximum likelihood detection method provides a performance which is less than 1 dB from the optimal maximum likelihood detection method while simultaneously providing for a similar bit error rate. The symbol state trellis maximum likelihood detection method calculates the phase errors for all paths from a present state to a previous state. Next, total path distances are calculated for previously selected paths to the previous state. The phase error associated with each of the paths from two states previous to the present state are calculated. For each symbol of the present state, only one path is selected to each symbol.

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H03D 100
H04L 2706

US Classification:

375 96

Abstract:

An apparatus for post-correlation signal processing includes a plurality of correlators for correlating a received signal with a predetermined signal to produce a plurality of correlator output signals and a selection circuit coupled to the plurality of correlators for selecting a correlator output signal from one of the plurality of correlator output signals to provide a selected correlator output signal. A memory is coupled to the selection circuit for storing post correlation totals. A counter is coupled to the memory for synchronizing the memory with the predetermined signal. An adder is coupled to the memory and to the selection circuit for combining the selected correlator output signal with the post correlation total from the memory to form a new post correlation total. The memory replaces the previous post correlation total with the new post correlation total.
