Abstract:
The invention pertains to a configurable input/output processing device, a method for configuring the configurable input/output processing device and a computer program product for performing the steps of the method. The configurable input/output processing device (6) is arranged to control data traffic associated to a distributed avionics control system comprising a plurality of processing nodes interconnected in a network (2), wherein each of the plurality of processing nodes is connected to the network via at least one of said configurable input/output processing device. The configurable input/output processor comprise first instructions (CCR), said first instructions comprising processing information for the at least one input/output processing device and being independent of a current configuration of the distributed avionics control system and second instructions (SCT), said second instructions being dependent on the current configuration of the distributed avionics control system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for decision support of a combat object (1 ) in a combat situation comprising the steps of: a) detecting (3) an enemy object (2) such that a plurality of characteristic parameters of the enemy object (2) is determined, b) calculating (4) at least one quality factor for at least one combat sensor of the combat object (1 ), wherein each quality factor is adapted for indicating identification ability of a combat sensor, and calculating (4) at least one signature factor for at least one enemy sensor of the enemy object (2) based on a predetermined model, wherein each signature factor is adapted for indicating identification ability of an enemy sensor, c) allocating (5) each quality factor calculated in the previous step b) to each combat sensor and allocating (5) each signature factor calculated in the previous step b) to each enemy sensor, and d) controlling (6) each combat sensor against the enemy object (2) based on the result of the previous step c). In this way, support for the pilot on a target-oriented basis is provided in order to make a quick and efficient decision in a combat situation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining position and orientation enabling navigation of an object using image data from at least a first and a second 2D image from at least one camera mounted on said object. The method comprises the steps of: correcting images from one or several cameras and from at least a first and a second 2D image for their respective radial distortion and other measurable effects which result in poor image precision; matching 2D image items in and between at least a first and second 2D image; calculating a fundamental matrix by using correlated image points from at least a first and a second 2D image; calculating and extracting estimated first rotation and translation values from the fundamental matrix using single value decomposition (SVD) based on information from at least a first and a second 2D image; iterating more accurate final rotation and translation values by using the LevenBerg-Marquard algorithm and determining the position and orientation of said object.
Abstract:
A method for reducing electromagnetic interference radiated from a power supply arrangement. A plurality of switching mode power supply units are connected to an external device. Each switching mode power supply unit includes a ground point. The radiated electromagnetic interference is reduced by synchronizing a switching frequency of each switching mode power supply unit, such that all of the synchronized switching mode power supply units have an identical switching frequency, thereby reducing the difference in electric potential between the ground points. A corresponding power supply arrangement.
Abstract:
The present invention regards a cover for covering a gap (2) between a first structural portion (3, 3 ') and a second structural portion (5, 5') of an aerial vehicle (29, 41 ), the cover (1, 25) comprises a first attachment section (9), attachable to the first structural portion (3, 3'), and a second flexible section (11) for covering the gap (2), the second flexible section (11) includes an abutment portion ( 13) for abutting against the second structural portion (5, 5 ') in an operating state. The abutment portion (13) in an unloaded state forms an undulating shape (U) having troughs (15) and crests (17) extending along a curved plane, the curvature of which essentially corresponds with the curvature (C) of the second structural portion's (5, 5') surface (6, 27), wherein the troughs (15) are provided for engagement with said surface (6, 27) in said operating state in such way that they tend to be flatten out and propagate over said surface (6, 27) pressing down neighbouring crests ( 17) towards said surface (6, 27) for providing a close fit between the cover (1, 25) and the second structural portion (5, 5').
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a distributed avionics system (100, 500) having a plurality of computer nodes arranged to execute a plurality of partitions/applications (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6). The distributed avionics system comprises reconfiguration means (332) arranged to reconfigure the distributed avionics system upon detection of failure in at least one of the computer nodes. Each partition/application is associated to a application/partition availability level. The reconfiguration means are arranged to reconfigure the distributed avionics system based on the partition/application availability levels of the partition/applications (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6). The present invention further relates to a method for back-up handling in a distributed avionics system having a plurality of computer nodes (A, B, C).
