Honeywell Introduces DRM(TM)4000 Dead Reckoning Module.PHOENIX -- Honeywell (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :HON) announced today that it has added a DRM (1) (Digital Radio Mondiale) A digital audio broadcasting (DAB) system for AM radio in Europe. See HD Radio. (2) (Digital Rights M [TM]4000 miniature electronic navigation aid to its existing line of dead reckoning products. The DRM[TM] 4000 Dead Reckoning Module provides accurate position information for first responders and other people on foot in places that the global positioning system Global Positioning System: see navigation satellite. Global Positioning System (GPS) Precise satellite-based navigation and location system originally developed for U.S. military use. (GPS) is unable to reach. The small, easy-to-integrate unit contains ten sensors including three gyros This article is about the food dish. For other uses, see Gyro. Gyros or gyro (Greek: γύρος, "turning") (IPA: [ˈjɪːɹəʊ] , accelerometers and magnetometers as well a barometric altimeter altimeter (ăltĭm`ĭtər, ăl`tĭmē'tər), device for measuring altitude. The most common type is an aneroid barometer calibrated to show the drop in atmospheric pressure in terms of linear elevation as an airplane, to accurately deliver position location. "The miniature size of this state-of-the-art dead reckoning device enables man-portable applications like personnel tracking, disaster relief operations, safe pathway guidance and mapping tasks," stated Tamara Bratland, Director, Magnetic Sensors, Honeywell Defense and Space. "The DRM[TM]4000 uses patented motion classification algorithms to analyze walking motion and compensate for unique user kinematics kinematics: see dynamics. kinematics Branch of physics concerned with the geometrically possible motion of a body or system of bodies, without consideration of the forces involved. ." The device enables a wider variety of applications than previously designed modules and can be extremely helpful to first responders in emergency and disaster operations as well as site inspectors and visually impaired persons for everyday navigation use. The DRM[TM]4000 contains an internal Kalman filter for integrating onboard sensors and external GPS data. It nominally provides position data that is accurate to within 2% of the actual distance traveled by a user in environments without GPS. The unit can be directly interfaced to many GPS receivers and man-pack computers and includes capabilities for accurate field calibration.
