Abstract
Abstract A computerized method for organizing data from multiple databases into a single database for optimal access. The method includes providing multiple databases, each for storing data in the form of records. A record from each database is read, and the several records are stored in a single record within a combined database. The single record has a format such the several records are each stored in accessible portions of the single record so that they can be retrieved individually or together.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A computerized method for obtaining data from multiple databases in a single access, comprising: providing multiple databases, each for storing data in the form of records; reading a record from each of the multiple databases; merging the several records read from the databases into a single multiple bit word within a combined database, the multiple bit word having a format such that the several records are accessible from the multiple bit word; and reading part or all of the multiple bit word in the combined database in a single access.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A computerized method for obtaining data from multiple databases in a single access, comprising: providing multiple databases, each for storing data in the form of records; reading a record from each of the multiple databases; merging the several records read from the databases into a single multiple bit word within a combined database, the multiple bit word having a format such that the several records are accessible from the multiple bit word; and reading part or all of the multiple bit word in the combined database in a single access.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
133 words
An optimized database management system for an aircraft, comprising: an onboard aircraft computer system, including a memory device; means for transferring data from a ground station database to the memory device, where the data relates to a plurality of parameters of a flight plan for the aircraft; a pop up threat sensor for generating threats data connected to the computer system; intervisibility means within said computer system for creating a database of pop up threats in response to data signals transmitted from the pop up threat sensor; and means for combining data from the intervisibility means with portions of the data in the memory device into a single database as a plurality of multiple bit words, all or part of the multiple bit words are accessible in a single access of the database.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
133 words
An optimized database management system for an aircraft, comprising: an onboard aircraft computer system, including a memory device; means for transferring data from a ground station database to the memory device, where the data relates to a plurality of parameters of a flight plan for the aircraft; a pop up threat sensor for generating threats data connected to the computer system; intervisibility means within said computer system for creating a database of pop up threats in response to data signals transmitted from the pop up threat sensor; and means for combining data from the intervisibility means with portions of the data in the memory device into a single database as a plurality of multiple bit words, all or part of the multiple bit words are accessible in a single access of the database.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The system of claim 2 wherein the multiple bit words comprise an intervisibility data portion, mission planning data portion which is based on hideablity/elevation data, an identification portion and an elevation data portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The system of claim 3 wherein the multiple bit words are each 32 bits.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
The system of claim 4 wherein each of the multiple bit words is divided so that 8 bits is occupied by the intervisibility portion, 8 bits are occupied by the mission planning data portion, 2 bits are occupied by the identification portion, and 12 bits are occupied by the elevation data portion.
