A system for reducing nuisance alerts and warnings in a terrain awareness and warning system for an aircraft, including determining if the aircraft is within a predetermined geometric volume surrounding an airport. If the aircraft is within the geometric volume, then determining the aircraft's current projected flight path for a selected distance or time and comparing it with at least one approach volume extending from a runway at the airport towards an outer boundary of the geometric volume. If the aircraft's current projected flight path is such that the aircraft is expected to be within the approach volume and stay within the approach volume to the runway, then inhibiting selected alerts and warnings associated with non-threatening terrain.

A method for automatically changing output display format in a vehicle, the method comprising: receiving content in a first display format; determining a condition of the vehicle; automatically changing the first display format to a second display format based on the determined vehicle condition; and outputting the received output content based on the second display format. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the output formats are display formats. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein the display formats comprise text font size information. 24. The method of claim 22, wherein the display formats comprise icon size information. 25. The method of claim 22, wherein the display formats comprise map detail information. 26. The method of claim 21, wherein the received content comprises receiving the content from a server over a network link. 27. The method of claim 26, wherein at least a portion of the network link is a wireless link. 28. The method of claim 21, wherein determining a vehicle condition comprises determining an emergency vehicle condition. 29. The method of claim 21, wherein determining a vehicle condition comprises determining vehicle speed. 30. The method of claim 21, wherein determining a vehicle condition comprises determining rate of change in vehicle speed. 31. The method of claim 21, wherein determining a vehicle condition comprises determining rate of change in vehicle direction. e by repeatedly controlling a cyclic motion. An axis of the machine is designed to stop at a predetermined position upon the occurrence of an emergency stop. To achieve this stop position, an amount of retraction is set up to a position where a tool of machine does not interfere with a work piece or other obstacles. When an emergency stop signal is entered during a binary operation, because of an occurrence of an abnormality, a movement control amount for each period, corresponding to a set amount of retraction, is added to the movement control amount for each period of the binary operation and the axis is thereby driven by the resultant modified movement control amount. The binary operation is stopped upon the reaching of the stop position, and the tool can be held at this retracted position, by the set amount of retraction. Thus, the tool can be retraced to a predetermined position where it does not interfere with either a work piece or another obstacle.
