Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for on-ground communication using an electrical power distribution system of an aircraft. Specifically, two broadband over power line (BPL) communication modules are communicatively coupled to an electrical power distribution system of an aircraft at different locations. A communication-initiation request is transmitted between these modules and, in some examples, is used to establish communication between the modules. In more specific examples, the receiving module determines received parameters of the communication-initiation request, which depend, at least in part, on characteristics of the electrical power distribution system. The received parameters are compared with expected parameters, and an operating indication of the electrical power distribution system is generated based on this comparison. In some examples, the operating indication is used to verify configuration of the electrical power distribution system (e.g., during aircraft assembly), service requirements (e.g., during aircraft operation), and the like.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for automated location and identification of multiple objects in an aircraft cabin. A method utilizes a wireless client, RFID reader, and camera, which together form a set. Each set is associated with a specific inspection zone in the cabin. The RFID reader determines the presence of a RFID tag in only one zone. Further, the camera captures an image of that zone. A data feedback is generated based on both the image and the RFID reader response. The data feedback is transmitted by the wireless client to a router and is analyzed to determine the presence of the object in the inspection zone and, if present, the identity of the object. The data feedback is associated with the location of the zone in the aircraft cabin, which is known or may be determined using a set of wireless routers positioned throughout the cabin.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining a vehicle. Identification information for a part on the vehicle is read from an automated identification technology tag, wherein the automated identification technology tag is on the vehicle and associated with the part. Part information for the part is retrieved from an onboard data processing system on the vehicle using the identification information for the part. The part information retrieved from the onboard data processing system may be displayed to a user. The part information stored onboard the vehicle may be synchronized with an off-board system.

Abstract: A shared data communications system includes a network file server and two routers, each with its own address. A first router provides wireless access to a first part of the system. A second router provides wireless access to a second part of the same, shared system via the technique known as broadband-over-power line (BPL). In the second part, a first BPL unit is carried by the proximal end of an electrical conductor for receiving and sending signals between it and distal, second BPL unit on the same electrical conductor. The use of separate routers with different addresses and a power line to transmit and receive data to confine the wireless portion of the second part of the system to a smaller area increase the physical security of wireless communications with the second part, making it less likely data communications taking place in the second part will be accessed by others.

Abstract: A system for monitoring an aircraft interior may include a multiplicity of sensors each placed at a selected location of a plurality of locations within the aircraft interior. Each sensor is configured to monitor a condition in an associated area of the aircraft interior. The system may also include a server onboard the aircraft. The onboard server is configured to receive data from each of the multiplicity of sensors and to control operation of each of the multiplicity of sensors. The system may also include a router onboard the aircraft. The onboard router is configured to communicate with a router off-board the aircraft and to transfer data from the onboard server to the off-board router. The off-board router is associated with a ground monitoring facility that is configured to analyze data from each of the multiplicity of sensors, check or compare the data to reference data and depending upon any levels being exceeded an appropriate alert may be generated.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for terrestrial data transmission between aircraft and external networks, such as airline networks and/or airport networks. While an aircraft is landed, various data domains may need to be transmitted between the aircraft and such networks using two or more communication channels available to the aircraft. These channels may include wired and/or wireless channels, such as broadband over power line channels, Ethernet channels, Wi-Fi channels, and cellular channels. The available communication channels are allocated to transmit particular data domains based on the security levels of these channels. For example, aircraft control domains may be transmitted using a more secure communication channel than passenger information domains and/or entertainment systems domains. In some embodiments, multiple communication channels may be used to transmit the same domain parsed into multiple transmission packets. The packets are recombined back into the data domain after the transmission.
