    摘要: A flight recorder includes an enclosure having a notch formed on one side or corner of the enclosure. An electronic interface is disposed within the enclosure. The electronic interface is coupled for receiving flight data, video data, and audio data. A memory unit is disposed within the enclosure and electrically connected to the electronic interface for storing the data. The memory unit contains a non-volatile memory device. A reserve power supply is physically disposed within the notch of the enclosure. The reserve power supply contains a rechargeable battery. A clamp secures the reserve power supply to the enclosure to make the reserve power supply removable from the enclosure. The reserve power supply has an electrical connector coupled to the enclosure for providing an operating voltage to the electronic interface and memory unit. The reserve power supply and electrical connector physically reside within a form factor of the enclosure.

    摘要: A night vision device (10) with an image intensifier tube (14) includes an improved microchannel plate (22) which has an extraordinarily low indigenous population of gas molecules. Because of this low population of gas molecules, positive ions produced from these gas molecules in the high voltage operating environment of the image intensifier tube (14) are of such a low number that the image intensifier tube (14) will operate for a satisfactory service life even though the microchannel plate (22) has no ion barrier film. The microchannel plate (22) is also spaced much closer to a photocathode (20) of the image intensifier tube (14) than has heretofore been possible. Thus, improved gain and reduction or elimination of image halo also results from the present invention.

    摘要: A security system comprises a computer network and a plurality of sensors each connected to the computer network at a respective network address and each generating sensing data. A managing component is connected with the network and communicates with the sensors by access thereof through the associated network address on the network, and processes sensor information received from said sensors. The managing component has a display with an interface screen showing to a user all the sensors in the security system, and an input device through which the user can enter interactive instructions to the managing component. The managing component controls communications to and from the sensors and has a rules engine storing rules therein. Each of the rules being associated with a respective device on the network, and causing the managing computer to take an action in response to output from at least one of the devices.

    摘要: A passive Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and method is based on receiving and processing Mode-S transponder messages without the TCAS computer having to interrogate the transponders of the respective aircraft flying in formation (i.e., a passive TCAS). A TCAS computer and Mode-S transponder are used to provide distributed intra-formation control among multiple cells of aircraft flying in formation or close-in. The Mode-S transponder provides ADS-B Global Positioning System (GPS) squitter data to the TCAS computer; the TCAS computer receives and processes the data without having to interrogate the transponders of the multiple cells of aircraft. The method and system allow a safe separation between 2 to 250 aircraft flying in formation at selectable ranges.

    摘要: An aircraft light assembly comprises a light apparatus configured to be supported in a space on the body of an aircraft. The apparatus has one or more light emitting diodes (13) generating visible light and an outer structure overlying the LEDs. The outer structure includes a light transmission portion through which visible light from the LEDs can pass, and a metallic portion with an outer surface exposed to the external airflow. A heat-transmitting connection thermally links the LEDs to the metallic portion so that heat from the LEDs flows to the outer surface and is dissipated to the external airflow. The light assembly is configured to be secured in a conventional socket for an incandescent navigation light bulb and to receive the electrical current supplied thereto by the aircraft electrical system. Civilian applications of the unit have only visible LEDs. When the unit is for a military aircraft, it has electric circuitry connected with a visible light source and an IR light source, and the electric circuitry is configured to process the input current from the socket and based thereon operate in either a visible mode or covert IR mode. Where the current is in one electrical state, such as for example a certain voltage, the electric circuit sends power only to the visible light source. When the current is in a different electrical state, e.g., a different voltage level, the circuitry sends power only to the IR source, and no visible light is emitted. Different input current voltages or characteristics are also used to cause the IR emitter to flash in various patterns that can be programmed into the unit. All control may be accomplished over a single pair of wires, as in existing systems that do not have IR mode capability. To upgrade existing aircraft, light source units a shaped to fit in the apertures for existing lenses over incandescent navigational fixtures.
