US 6745113 B2Abstract
A method and system for autoflight information display. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes determining if an automatic aircraft controller is controlling an aircraft function based at least in part on a target aircraft speed. If so, the method further includes displaying alphanumeric information corresponding to the operation of the automatic aircraft controller at a first location of a display medium. If not, the method further includes displaying the alphanumeric information at a second location of the display medium different than the first location. The first location can be aligned with a display of the aircraft speed, and the second location can be aligned with a display of the aircraft altitude. In another embodiment of the invention, engine control information can be integrated with a display of aircraft autopilot and/or autothrottle information.
The present invention relates generally to methods and apparatuses for displaying autoflight information, such as autothrottle and/or autopilot mode information.
Modern commercial transport aircraft are controlled by automatic flight control devices during many and sometimes all segments of a typical flight. The automatic flight control devices typically include an autothrottle that controls engine thrust, and an autopilot that controls both pitch attitude (via the aircraft elevators) and roll attitude (via the aircraft ailerons). Information regarding the status and activities of the flight control devices is typically displayed on a display device, such as a CRT, LCD or other graphical user interface.
FIG. 1 illustrates a typical display device 10 that presents a display 30 in accordance with the prior art. The display 30 includes an air speed display 33, an altitude display 34, an attitude display 35, and a heading display 36. The display 30 also includes a series of annunciators, each indicating (via a textual shorthand) which of a variety of pre-defined modes a corresponding one of the automatic flight control devices is operating in. For example, the display 30 can include an autothrottle mode annunciator 55, a roll mode annunciator 66, and a pitch mode annunciator 45. In the particular configuration shown in FIG. 1, “SPD” indicates that the aircraft autothrottle is controlling the engine thrust based on a target aircraft speed. “LOC” indicates that the roll control portion of the autopilot is controlling to maintain a track on a localizer beam, and “G/S” indicates that the pitch control portion of the autopilot is controlling the elevators based on a target glide slope.
The present invention is directed toward methods and systems for displaying information corresponding to the operation of automatic aircraft controllers. The method can be implemented on a computer, a computer readable medium, or a computer system. For example, if the automatic aircraft controller is controlling an aircraft function based at least in part on a target aircraft speed, the method can include displaying alphanumeric information corresponding to the operation of the automatic aircraft controller at a first location of a display medium. The method can further include (if the automatic aircraft controller is not controlling the aircraft function based at least in part on the target aircraft speed), displaying the alphanumeric information at a second location of the display medium different than the first location.
FIG. 1 illustrates a flight display in accordance with the prior art.
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for displaying flight control information. Many specific details of certain embodiments of the invention are set forth in the following description and in FIGS. 3A-13B to provide a thorough understanding of these embodiments. However, the present invention can have additional embodiments, and may be practiced without several of the details described below.
In one aspect of an embodiment of the display 130 shown in FIG. 4, the autothrottle mode display 150 can be positioned above the pitch mode display 140. In another embodiment, the relative positions of the autothrottle mode display 150 and the pitch mode display 140 can be reversed. In either embodiment, the autothrottle mode display 150 and the pitch mode display 140 can each present alphanumeric information corresponding to the operation of the autothrottle and the autopilot, respectively. For example, the autothrottle mode display 150 can include an autothrottle mode indicator 155 that presents (when applicable) information corresponding to which of a number of predefined modes the autothrottle is operating in. The autothrottle mode display 150 can further include a target speed indicator 153 that presents (when applicable) the aircraft speed that the autothrottle attempts to maintain as it adjusts engine thrust. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the autothrottle mode indicator 155 displays mode “SPD” and the target speed indicator 153 displays a target speed of 140 knots.
The pitch mode display 140 can include a pitch mode indicator 145 that presents (when applicable) information corresponding to which of a number of preselected modes the pitch controller is operating in. The pitch mode display 140 can further include a pitch direction indicator 144 that indicates whether the aircraft is gaining or losing altitude, and a target altitude indicator 143 that presents the aircraft altitude that the pitch controller attempts to maintain or achieve as it adjusts the aircraft elevator position. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the pitch mode indicator displays pitch mode “G/S” (glide slope), the pitch direction indicator 144 displays a downward arrow to indicate descent, and the altitude indicator displays a target altitude of 100 feet.
Some or all of the foregoing alphanumeric information can shift from a position aligned with the first region 131 to a position aligned with the second region 132, depending upon what the corresponding flight control device is controlling to. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the autothrottle can control to a target speed of 140 knots and the pitch controller can control the aircraft to descend to 100 feet. Accordingly, the autothrottle mode indicator 155 and the target speed indicator 153 are aligned with the first region 131 (which displays aircraft speed), and the pitch mode indicator 145, target altitude indicator 143, and pitch direction indicator 144 are aligned with the second region 132 (which displays aircraft altitude). The pilot can accordingly receive a visual cue that, in autothrottle mode “SPD,” it is the autothrottle rather than the autopilot that is controlling to a target aircraft speed. FIGS. 5A-13B below illustrate representative modes for both the autothrottle and the pitch controller in accordance with further embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 5A is a pictorial illustration of an aircraft 110 that has departed from a runway 115 in a full-power climb to a target altitude of 4,000 feet, indicated by target altitude line 116. FIG. 5B illustrates a portion of the display 130 described above with reference to FIG. 4, with the automatic flight control information as it appears during this portion of the flight. For purposes of illustration, the thrust display 160 (FIG. 4) and the roll mode display 165 (FIG. 4) are not shown in FIG. 5B. The pitch mode indicator 145 has the text “TO/GA” (take-off/go-around) to indicate the pitch mode, and the target speed indicator 153 indicates that the aircraft elevators are being controlled to match a target airspeed of 165 knots. Both the pitch mode indicator 145 and the target speed indicator 153 are positioned in the first pitch mode location 141 (aligned with the aircraft speed display 133) to indicate that the pitch is being controlled to match a target aircraft speed. The pitch direction indicator 144 indicates that the aircraft is climbing, and the target altitude indicator 143 indicates that the climb is to a target altitude of 4,000 feet.
The autothrottle mode indicator 155 displays the text “THR REF” (reference thrust). The autothrottle mode indicator 155 has shifted away from the first autothrottle mode location 151 (aligned with the aircraft speed display 133), to the second autothrottle mode location 152. Accordingly, the pilot receives a visual cue that it is the autopilot, not the autothrottle, that is controlling to an aircraft speed.
FIG. 6A illustrates the aircraft 110 climbing at partial power to 4,000 feet, as indicated by target altitude line 116. FIG. 6B illustrates a corresponding portion of the display 130. Because the aircraft is at partial power, the autothrottle mode indicator 155 indicates mode “THR.” The pitch mode indicator 145 indicates mode “FLCH SPD.” The aircraft is controlled to a target speed of 220 knots, as indicated by the target speed indicator 153. Because the target speed indicator 153 appears at the first pitch mode location 141 (rather than the first autothrottle mode location 151), the pilot receives a visual cue that the pitch controller (and not the autothrottle) is controlling to the target speed.
In another embodiment, shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the aircraft 110 can climb at a constant airspeed and a constant altitude change rate (or vertical speed) to a target altitude of 4,000 feet, as indicated by target altitude line 116. Accordingly, the target speed indicator 153 indicates that the autothrottle is controlling to a target speed of 220 knots, and the autothrottle mode indicator 155 indicates that the autothrottle is in mode “SPD.” The pitch controller is controlling the elevators of the aircraft to a target altitude change rate of 1,000 feet per minute, as indicated by the text “V/S” at the pitch mode indicator 145, and the numeral 1,000 at a target altitude change rate indicator 147. Because the target speed indicator 153 appears at the autothrottle mode display 150, and because the autothrottle mode indicator 155 is aligned with the aircraft speed display 133, the pilot receives visual cues that the autothrottle is controlling to aircraft speed. Because the pitch mode indicator 145 is aligned with the aircraft altitude display 134, the pilot receives a visual cue that the pitch controller is controlling to a target altitude and altitude change rate.
FIG. 8A illustrates the aircraft 110 flying level at a target altitude of 12,000 feet, indicated by the target altitude line 116. FIG. 8B illustrates a portion of the corresponding display 130, in which the autothrottle mode indicator 155 displays mode “SPD” and the target speed indicator 153 indicates that the autothrottle is controlling to a target speed of 300 knots. The target altitude indicator 143 indicates that the pitch controller is controlling to a target altitude of 12,000 feet, and the pitch mode indicator 145 indicates pitch mode “ALT.” Again, because the autothrottle mode indicator 155 is aligned with the aircraft speed display 133, and the pitch mode indicator 145 is aligned with the aircraft altitude display 134, the pilot receives visual cues as to the manner in which the aircraft is being flown to achieve and/or maintain flight targets.
FIG. 9A illustrates the aircraft 110 in a descent to 15,000 feet, as indicated by the target altitude line 116. FIG. 9B illustrates a portion of the corresponding display 130. The pitch direction indicator 144 displays a downward pointing arrow and the target altitude indicator 143 indicates a target altitude of 15,000 feet. The pitch mode indicator 145 displays mode “FLCH SPD” aligned with the aircraft speed display 133, with the elevators controlled to a target air speed of 280 knots, as indicated by the target speed indicator 153. The autothrottle mode display 150 has the autothrottle mode indicator 155 indicating mode “THR,” aligned with the aircraft altitude display 134.
FIG. 10A illustrates the aircraft 110 descending along a geometric path 117 between a first fixed point 170 a and a second fixed point 170 b to a target altitude of 12,000 feet, as indicated by target altitude line 116. As shown in FIG. 10B, the autothrottle mode indicator 155 indicates the engines at “IDLE” mode for this flight segment. After a predetermined period of time, the autothrottle can go “dormant” and the autothrottle mode indicator 155 can indicate a “HOLD” mode. The pitch direction indicator 144 indicates that the aircraft is descending, and the target altitude indicator 143 indicates that the target altitude is 12,000 feet. The pitch mode indicator 145 indicates a pitch mode of “VNAV PTH,” which is aligned with the aircraft altitude display 134. By aligning both the autothrottle mode indicator 155 and the pitch mode indicator 145 with the altitude display 134, the pilot receives a visual cue that neither the autothrottle nor the pitch controller are controlling to a target aircraft speed, but are instead controlling the aircraft to a target flight path.
If the aircraft 110 begins to overshoot the target flight path 117 (as indicated in FIG. 11A), the pitch controller shifts from controlling to the target flight path 117 (as was indicated by the pitch mode “VNAV PTH” shown in FIG. 10B) to pitch mode “VNAV SPD,” as shown in FIG. 11B. A target airspeed of 300 knots also appears at the target airspeed indicator 153. Both the pitch mode indicator 145 and the target airspeed indicator 153 are aligned with the aircraft speed display 133 to indicate to the pilot that the aircraft 110 is no longer being controlled to a target flight path, and is instead being controlled to a target speed. This situation (commonly referred to as “speed reversion”) may occur if the winds change unexpectedly during descent.
If the aircraft 110 falls below the target flight path 117 (as indicated in FIG. 12A), the pitch controller can remain in the “VNAV PTH” mode described above with reference to FIG. 10B. The autothrottle can “awaken” out of the dormant (“HOLD”) mode to increase the aircraft speed to the original speed upon which the target flight path 117 was calculated. Accordingly, the autothrottle mode indicator 155 indicates mode “SPD,” and the target airspeed indicator 153 (now positioned at the autothrottle mode display 150) indicates the autothrottle controlling to a target airspeed of 300 knots.
FIG. 13A illustrates the aircraft 110 on approach along an ILS (instrument landing system) glide slope 118. As shown in FIG. 13B, the display 130 can indicate autothrottle mode “SPD” at the autothrottle mode indicator 155, and a target speed of 145 knots at the target speed indicator 153. The pitch mode indicator 145 can display the mode “G/S” (glide slope), without indicating a target altitude because the autopilot is not controlling to a target altitude. However, the pitch mode display 140 can include a missed approach altitude indicator 148, indicating a missed approach altitude of 4,000 feet.

Johnson Earns No. 1 Role, But Hardly Content - Maryland - Scout
Johnson Earns No. 1 Role, But Hardly ContentDave Lomonico08/31/2016COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Two years ago, Ty Johnson admitted he would never have fathomed the position he’s in now. Coming out of a tiny class 1A high school in the hills of Western Maryland, the Terps’ sophomore running back had no idea he’d quickly ascend the depth chart at a program in one of college football’s best conferences.COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Two years ago, Ty Johnson admitted he would never have fathomed the position he’s in now. Coming out of a tiny class 1A high school in the hills of Western Maryland, the Terps’ sophomore running back had no idea he’d quickly ascend the depth chart at a program in one of college football’s best conferences.
“No,” laughed the 5-foot-10, 205-pound Johnson. “Fort Hill (Cumberland, Md.) is a very small school, and not many people come out of Fort Hill. But my head coach [Todd Appel] always told me, ‘No one will ever be able to outwork you.’ He said I had talent, but with hard work I could be unstoppable.
“So even when [Maryland strength coach Rick] Court came in, and we had a grueling winter, and I was tired, I had it in the back of my mind that some Ohio State running back or Michigan linebacker was going more than me. I knew I needed to keep going so that when it comes time, I can beat them.”
That mentality is what endeared Johnson to the former UMD staff, which gave the diminutive speedster his first and only FBS offer two summers ago. And it’s certainly served the Cumberland native well during his time thus far in College Park, both under the Randy Edsall regime and now under D.J. Durkin’s watch.
Last year, as a true freshman, Johnson fought his way into the rotation and appeared in all 12 games. He ended up rushing for 250 yards and three touchdowns, highlighted by a season-ending breakout in which Johnson had just two carries, but turned them into 87 yards and two touchdowns against Rutgers. Johnson carried that momentum straight into the offseason, leaving the new Maryland coaches -- from Durkin to Court to running backs coach Anthony Tucker to offensive coordinator Walt Bell -- impressed with the runner’s drive. “[Being named the starter] is very exciting. It got me smiling when I saw it, but it’s been tough. I read that Coach Durkin said that I earned it, and it’s great that I earned it, but I still have work to do,” Johnson said. “I can always get better at pass pro, hitting the right gaps fast enough or even just making cuts sooner, or improving my route running. It’s all stuff you have to keep improving if you want to get better. “I’ve got to stay humble and hungry and not let it go to my head. People from home message me saying, ‘Oh yeah good stuff, that’s my boy,’ but that doesn’t affect me. I just want to contribute to the team. It’s a big jump from last year, but I’m not going to let that faze me.”
It wasn’t always easy sledding for the second-year local, however. Although Durkin and Co. loved Johnson’s relentless motor and dedication, it took the back awhile to adjust to Bell’s up-tempo spread. “To be honest, he started slow,” Bell said. “But I think that was just mentally more than anything else. Our running backs have an incredible amount of mental pressure put on them, from pass protection, throw game, throw game. Those guys have to play three, four different spots, all the while just being called a ‘running back.’ I think early that kind of slowed Ty down a little bit, mainly the pass protection piece. “But I think once he settled in, you really got to see who Ty is in terms of linear speed, in terms of burst, you really saw him separate from defenders. He’s really improved as an inside-zone runner in terms of his patience, and that will make him a more dynamic back from carry to carry, knowing every carry isn’t going to be a home run. He’s grown as camp’s gone on and he’s getting better and better.”
Johnson agreed with Bell, although he said after a couple weeks he felt more comfortable in the system. He said his, along with his fellow runners’, read-and-react time readily improved, and thus the offense began to operate more to Bell’s liking by the end of the spring. “It’s fast,” Johnson deadpanned, in regards to the offense. “We were winded the first week of spring ball. [Bell’s] offense is designed to make the opponent tired, and although we might be tired, we still have to keep going hard at a certain tempo. So the transition was definitely hard, but we’re better off for it.”
By the time fall camp hit, Johnson was prepared to take the next step. Not only had he packed on 15-plus pounds of muscle while maintaining his signature speed, but he had the scheme down pat. By mid-August, it was fairly clear he had the inside track on the top running back spot, ahead of Trey Edmunds, Wes Brown and Jake Funk. “Ty’s been a consistent guy in his running ability, he’s done a good job with ball security, and he’s a guy who can put his foot in the ground and take it the distance,” Durkin said. “He’s a good pass protector; he’s really worked to improve that. And he’s really good [catching the ball] out of the backfield. So he’s really the total package.
“There are a lot of guys you could make the case for to be the starter, and we’re going to play a lot of them. But Ty, it’s a testament to him; he’s worked hard and earned that opportunity.”
Like the rest of the team, Johnson said the position battle with the aforementioned backs created not a bit of animosity. Each runner, according to Johnson, realizes they have a respective talent and a respective role in the offense -- and they’ll each get their share of touches, regardless of who’s starting.
“It’s like brotherly love. We’re tight with each other and it makes us strong. When one of us is messing up, we’re not afraid to be like, ‘You need to get right, you need to fix that, you need to pay attention to this in meetings.’ There is that sense of trust and that sense of honesty,” Johnson said. “With me, Wes [Brown], Trey [Edmunds] and even the underclassmen like Jake [Funk], we want the best for each other.”
But while each running back brings something to the table, Johnson doesn’t want to be pigeonholed. His reputation is that of a speedster, a track star who entered Maryland with a 4.4-40-yard dash. Now that he’s a starter in the Big Ten, though, he wants to prove he can be a true lead back.
“Coach [Anthony Tucker] tells all of us in the running back room we need to be the total package. Speed is one of the main things I had coming in here, but I want to be able to pass block, play special teams. I want to be able to do it all,” Johnson said. “That’s what the greats do, they can do everything. I want to be part of that one day.”

Apesar de morarem tão distante, em um país maravilhoso, gostaríamos muito de rever vocês novamente e agradecemos suas palavras.
If you go to the beach in Brazil, you go to a barraca. Mailbu Cabana is a great place to spend time; beer, food, beach, sun, free wifi, tables and umbrellas...what more do you need? Best time for a family vacation in Porto Seguro is their winter. Temps highs in the eighties and the crowds are down.

I have been with my wife and kids at Cabana Malibu in Porto Seguro for the first time. I had previous recommendation, and I was expecting to spend a day there. By the end, we went all the 7 days that we were in town. Great food, in special the Dourado (grilled local fish with vegetables) and the lobster. Lot's of entertainment for the kids and a beautiful view from ocean front. I was really impressed with the owners. Very nice people and always helpful well as their staff. Daniel, the manager was a gentleman helping us to deal with the local vendors and to finding a really good deal for us. They even took us back to the hotel with their own private car. Nice place, very beautiful beach and totally family friendly. My kids loved. We will be back next year for sure.

All reviews ex pat bangla road sports bar is great expat bar rooms are basic ac works bangla rd expensive hotel patong nightlife bed and pillows night life air con taxi service mini bar reception staff hotel is situated min walk
stayed Expat for the third time,for two nights June 2012.Stayed poolside room.Was woken 8am by construction work to pool after arriving night before,then found out pool was closed for about a week for renovations.Would have been nice to have known this prior as I would had booked elsewhere.
upon checkout was asked to pay full room rate,even though when I booked was told I would be given a 15 percent discount for being a loyal customer(I was given the cheaper rate after explaining this)I was then asked to pay for airport transfer from arrival,which I had already paid for!....unacceptable,will never stay this hotel again.
Ask Steve L about The Expat Hotel
KingKlong, Manager at The Expat Hotel, responded to this reviewResponded July 16, 2012
Regrettably, swimming pool maintenance was necessary at the time of Steve's stay. It was scheduled at the time of year that our rates are lowest and Steve received a discount for the inconvenience. Exact schedules are hard to tie down in Thailand. Apologies to Steve, but this maintenance is sometimes necessary.
Steve paid his airport transfer charge directly to the limousine driver whereas Expat Hotel policy is to charge his room account.
I have booked online for this hotel which went pretty well. However, when we arrived at the place we found insects in our bed and we requested to be transferred to another room. Unfortunately, the second room was not better at all.
We have decided to stay for the night and cancel the remaining 2 days booking due to the evident discomfort due to insects. This was when the "issues" started as they did not want to refund our money where we even ended up calling the authorities. Luckily, we found a good hote which was having the same rate but with much better and more clean facilities.
Ask DyAngelina about The Expat Hotel
Ms. Rowena Luna stayed at the Expat Hotel on 9 November, 2010 and she did, indeed, complain of insects in Room 226 at the time of her stay. The room was inspected and found clean. There were not any "authorities" involved in this dispute.
First of many stays...and worth it!
I would definitely recommend this hotel for a three nights stay. Mostly Australians book this place having a beautiful pool, nice restaurant, great bar (with no girlie nonsense) and is closely located near the beach. The staff at the hotel is experienced-very friendly and helpful...ever smiling and whats best...patient!!! One of bestr hotels I have stayed in recent times which is hardly 5 mins walk to the beach, also near to the famous mall and Bangla. Neat and spacious rooms having standard facility. The BF was excellent and for us Indians there were quite a few Indian joints nearby. What I have noticed was that 80% of the it's guests were regulars or returning ones and I am not surprised... would definitely stay again!!!
Room Tip: Deluxe Rooms are not recommended as they are a bit small....SD or even better SD with Poolside balco...
Ask Chandarana105 about The Expat Hotel
Thank Chandarana105
Recently stayed at the Expat Hotel. The booking process online was great and they did go out of their way to give us a suitable room, which was as promised on arrival. We arrived after midnight so would not say we were given a warm welcome but who needs it at that time of night.
The room was clean with a large bathroom but missed the things like where to put your toiletries and could have done with a hook or two and the lack of shower curtain or screen in such a large bathroom seemed strange although I know this is quite common in Asia.
The breakfasts were good and plentiful but they do not come with the room so are an extra charge, albeit quite reasonable.
We were there for a State of Origin night which was good fun and they provided some very tasty snacks.
What I like about these guesthouses is that they are very friendly and single travelers seem to be given plenty of attention. As a couple we did not feel as welcome at this hotel, probably if our stay was longer we may have felt the warmth more. They have a strong return patronage who absolutely adore the staff.
For the time of year, I felt the tariff was quite expensive, especially when you add breakfast to the equation.

Not good at writing these things but here it goes. I have stayed at the EXPAT twice now and have no complaints. Clean comfortable rooms, safe always worked, clean sheets and towels. Never had a problem with anything ever getting stolen!!! I left all my valuables sitting out along with money and never had anything taken!!! Pool is nice and clean. Front desk staff is great!!! Always helped us find places to go, booked trips for us and told us places to watch out for so we didnt get scammed. The food is great, the service is great and the prices were very good. Love the sportsbar! The staff at the bar is wonderful and I never had to wait to get another drink or anything. There is always staff around to help you if you need it. There is a laundry right there and the price is very good and the service great. There is also a hairdresser right there and they do an excellent job at a low price. Location is great, very close to the nightlife but far enough away that you can easily sleep without hearing the hustle. The mall is also very close. The beach is maybe a 10 min walk away. Like I said I have no complaints and I recommend this hotel to everyone. I have had 2 very enjoyable stays at the Expat and already planning my third trip to Patong and the Expat.
Ask EXPAT-NIC about The Expat Hotel
Thank EXPAT-NIC
I always stayed at the resorts on beach road & then I discovered Expat. The other places are second class compared to Expat. The staff are incredibly helpful & friendly, the food is delicious & plentyful, very relaxing atmosphere, happy hour is really happy & any request is always accommodated with a smile. If your after a real holiday where you come first, then I suggest you stay at Expat, you won't be disappointed. Trust Me.

Gang who targeted multi-million pound mansions jailed for 17 years | Daily Mail Online
Mohammed Alam, Sayed Juied and Sadek Miah raided a total of 21 homes
Surveyed homes before striking, often waiting until owners were away
Had taught themselves how to disable security systems and CCTV cameras
Took Ferrari, Porches, art and jewels worth total of £1million in 11 months
Were jailed at Kingston Crown Court after admitting burglary offences
Published: 04:51 EDT, 3 April 2015 | Updated: 07:33 EDT, 3 April 2015
A prolific gang of thieves who carried out early morning raids on multi-million pound mansions to steal cash, jewellery and luxury cars have been jailed for a total of 17 years.
Mohammed Alam, Sayed Juied and Sadek Miah treated burglary 'like a job, a profession,' raiding houses in affluent west London, Herfordshire and Surrey.
Over the course of 11 months the gang broke into 21 homes, taking a Ferrari, Porches, Minis, paintings and cash worth £1million, often waiting until home owners were on holiday before striking.
Sayed Juied, 32, and Sadek Miah, 31, were jailed for six years each after admitting to raiding 21 muti-million pound homes in west London, Hertfordshire and Surrey
The gang were undeterred by security systems, officers said, instead viewing them as a sign a property was worth raiding.
If they found that valuables were locked in a safe inside, they would simply cut the safe out, before cracking it open later.
Career criminal who boasted about working in 'midnight... Legal highs turned our loving son into a monster: Anguished...
Gang of thugs who battered 81-year-old woman with metal bar...
Officers first began hunting the group in July last year after a raid on a £2.6million house in Somerset Road, Wimbledon, next door to the Lawn Tennis Association.
Mohammed Alam, 26, was give five years. Police said the gang treated robbery as 'a profession', surveying properties before they struck
The raiders smashed in a back window before ransacking the property, taking keys to a £30,000 Porsche Cayenne and a £20,000 Mini Cooper, along with £13,000 of jewellery and electrical items.
The house was so badly damaged the owners also had to foot a £13,000 repair bill.
A week later the gang struck two neighbouring homesin Putney, including one £4.6million house, taking jewellery worth £38,700, and a Porsche Cayenne worth £75,000.
Continuing their all-night burglary spree, they hit another Putney home where they stole a personalised Ferrari worth £280,000, a matching Cayenne worth £130,000, and a painting worth nearly £50,000.
Jewellery worth £8,600 was taken along with £1,400 in foreign notes was taken from a house in Kingston Hill during another raid in July.
In another burglary in Kingston Hill last July, the back patio doors were forced open while the homeowners were away and the alarm system was smashed.
Jewellery worth £8,600 was taken along with £1,400 in foreign currency.
Three homes in Arthur Road, Wimbledon, were targeted between December 2013 and July last year, with damage caused to front doors and property worth £500 taken during one raid.
Police tracked the trio after staff at the All England Club, home to the Wimbledon tennis championships, caught their car on CCTV.
They passed the details to the Metropolitan Police, who found that the car had been rented by Alam, 26, from Unxbridge, who had used his real name.
That in turn led them to Juied, 32, and Miah, 31, both from Maida Vale, west London.
When police arrested the trio they found multiple Google searches on their computers on how to disable alarm systems and CCTV, and how to crack open safes.
The gang took cars, cash, jewellery, electricals and paintings worth a total of £1million over the course of 11 months. Among their haul were two Porche Cayennes (pictured) worth a total of £205,000
During one raid at a £2.6million opposite the All England Lawn Tennis Association in Wimbledon, the raiders made off with a £20,000 Mini Cooper (pictured) along with a Porsche, cash and jewels
The gang admitted conspiring to commit the burglaries, and were jailed for a total of 17 years at Kingston Crown Court on Wednesday.
Alam was given five years behind bars, while Juied and Miah were both given six-year prison terms.
Detective Sergeant Dan Mitchell, from Merton burglary team, said: 'They would conduct reconnaissance on big detached houses in really affluent neighbourhoods and then break in.
'They were quite an unusual team, they were not deterred at all by CCTV and alarm systems, that's how they thought somewhere was a worthwhile target.
'They would smash the alarm box as soon as they got in. They would go straight for the safe and try and take the whole safe out, the main thing they wanted was cash.
'They were treating it as a job, a profession. They're the most professional team I have worked on.'

I created a DataTable Object = Unsafe for multithreading --> Exception in large Scans "Internal Index corrupted '5'"
I searched for threadsafe Methods to add the Rows, or avoiding this exception...
The DataSource needs to be bound to the DTGV, otherwise loading all results (e.g. 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255) will cause a freeze or program cancellation...
My DataSources:
Public NwSData As DataTable = New DataTable("NwS_Log")
Public NwSBinding As BindingSource = New BindingSource()
' Create NwS DataSource
Private Sub NwS_DataSource()
NwSData.Columns.Add("NwS_Column1", GetType(System.Drawing.Image))

As you've discovered, the DataTable class is not thread-safe. If you try to add rows from multiple threads at the same time, the internal state will be corrupted.
The simple solution is to wrap the row addition in a SyncLock block:
SyncLock NwSData
SyncLock Statement - Visual Basic | Microsoft Docs[^]
You will need to measure what performance impact that has on your code before deciding whether to explore a more complicated solution.
Based on the stack-trace of the exception, I suspect the grid doesn't like having the data source updated from a background thread. You may need to use BeginInvoke to update the table from the UI thread, which would remove the need for the SyncLock block. Try something like this:

Ok, I tried Synclock yesterday, but maybe I was to tired... Because I used it for the whole ScanHost ---> Very Big Impact, lol
Now with only at the DataRow adding the impact is almost not measurable :)
So thanks for that first Idea :)
But at some point on my test scan (which always leaded to the Exception above "0.0.0.0 - 254 + 100.0.0.1 - 192.0.0.254) it throws me a new Exception "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference was not set to an object"
Marked with that x is:
Have you an idea where that is coming from?
Richard Deeming 18-May-20 13:06pm
Does it tell you which variable on that line is Nothing?
Electro_Attacks 18-May-20 13:18pm
This is the detailslist for the Exception, the debuger doesn't mention the varname
ipExport = {110.0.0.219}
maxAddress = " "
My.Ressources.Free = {System.Drawing.Bitmap}
ipLong = 1845493979
The thing I'm wondering about is that NwSData = {NwS_Log} (My DTGV)
Message = Object Reference was not set to an object
at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowCollection.InsertInternal(Int32 rowIndex, DataGridViewRow dataGridViewRow, Boolean force)
at IP_Tool.Main.NwS_PingHost(IPAddress ipExport) in C:\Users\Electro Attacks\source\repos\Advanced IP Tool\Main.vb:line 535
at IP_Tool.Main._Lambda$__R260-16(Object a0)
This exception was originally raised by this call list:
IP_Tool.Main.NwS_PingHost(System.Net.IPAddress) in Main.vb
Richard Deeming 18-May-20 13:45pm
Based on the stack trace, I suspect the grid view doesn't like having its data source updated from a background thread. You could try using BeginInvoke to update the table from the UI thread. I've added a sample to my solution - although I'm a bit rusty on the precise VB.NET syntax. :)
Electro_Attacks 18-May-20 13:51pm
Well, but when I'm starting with Invokes again doesn't make it freeze my UI when ~ 200 Threads want's to update the DataGridView via Invokes?
Wouldn't be it better when I use NwSBinding.SuspendBinding() at the Beginning of the Scan and than NwSBidning.ResumeBinding() it on the BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress Event?
And it's wondering me, that the DTGV recognizes it so late, that the updates were coming from different Threads than the UI... That were about 2.805 rows before it was checking it... And Before the Exception was thrown it was updating very fast so I could see every new entry :/
I think it could be a problem made by the BindingSource...
Richard Deeming 18-May-20 13:59pm
I'd hope that the Invoked code is small enough that it wouldn't completely freeze the UI, but you'd have to test it to see.
Otherwise, assuming the NwS_Handbrake method is waiting for the pending threads to complete, you could resume and then re-suspend the binding when that's done. You'd have to make sure to always resume the binding in the RunWorkerCompleted event to cope with cancellation and errors.
Electro_Attacks 18-May-20 14:08pm
So now I tried the Scan again without any changes and it completed the scan without any issues... (Well the Scrollbar of the TGV is still... I think you could call that destroyed...)
So because I tried the same ranges and with the same conditions (Handbrake disabled), it may be a racecondition again... The question is than: Where did it come from? xD
So reading of public vars shouldn't be a problem, but what is about a performance Counter?
And than I have to figure out how I can fix the scrollbar on large Scans... Maybe redraw the DTGV or the bar?
Private Sub NwS_Handbrake(ByVal threadList As List(Of Thread), ByVal Mode As Boolean)
' Handbrake: Wait for Threads
Dim tAlive As Integer = 0
If Mode Or My.Settings.Handbrake
If t.IsAlive() <> False Then
tAlive += 1
If tAlive > 0 Then pause = True
' Handbrake: CPU Limit
If My.Settings.Handbrake = False And Mode = False
Dim cpuLoad = Main_cpuWatcher.NextValue()
If cpuLoad > 80 Then pause = True
If pause = False Then Exit Do
Electro_Attacks 18-May-20 14:47pm
Thanks a lot for your Time, without you I would still for Thread- Safe dataTables, just because I was using using Synclock at the wrong point xD
The Program works fine now, ScrollBars were fixed now too by just redrawing them with:
NwS_Log.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None
NwS_Log.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical
Todd Howard would say: "It just works" xD
