A geolocation system and method uses a single platform for determining a Doppler measurement set of a targeted aircraft or signal of interest. The electronic warfare aircraft and the ejected aircraft expendables technology device determine the Doppler measurement set of the targeted aircraft or other signal of interest. The ejected aircraft expendables technology device is initially tuned to an expected frequency of the target of interest. Re-tuning may take place after an initial signal reading and computation has been performed by the electronic warfare aircraft.

Single platform geolocation method and apparatus

Transmission of digital information during the course of a television signal transmission is provided by transmitting a predetermined number of color burst cycles during the horizontal blanking interval such that logical bits are represented by different, predetermined cycles of color burst.

Video formatted digital data transmission method and apparatus

Instant replay for microprocessor-controlled video games is provided by storing and retaining for a period of time in a random access memory the results of microprocessor polling of each of the player command entry devices. In a memory conserving embodiment only newly entered player commands and the times when such commands are entered need be stored and retained.

Method and apparatus for instant replay and other capabilities for

A television message system is disclosed wherein encoded data displayed on a small area of a television screen is received by a photosensitive pickup which responds to the encoded data, and including a message processor for storing viewer selected data and processing such data for redisplay on the television screen as readable alpha-numerics.

Apparatus for receiving encoded messages on the screen of a television

A number of subsystems are disclosed for use in pagers in which the message transmitted, received and displayed is in alpha/numeric form. The subsystems include an encoder which displays the encoded message on an imprinted tape which is run continuously as an alarm when the memory of the encoder is overloaded. In a soft copy embodiment the encoder includes a keyboard and a dot matrix form of display both driven by a single logic circuit which cycles sequentially through all the alpha/numeric characters to provide simultaneously keyboard decoding and display activation. In another subsystem an end of message circuit is provided to sense the absence of transmitted characters by integration of the message signals, with a nonzero average indicating the end of the message. In a further subsystem, when FSK message signals are used, only one of the two tones is detected for message decoding. In a yet still further subsystem addressing of the pager is accomplished with a digital code and address decoding is accomplished with an improved bit recognition circuit utilizing a single comparator.
