    Abstract: A passenger control unit (PCU) network is provided for a passenger aircraft having passenger seats in a plurality of zones, each zone having at least one column of seats, and each column having at least one row of seats. The PCU network includes a direct current (DC) power distribution system, and a plurality of wired PCUs, one PCU associated with each passenger seat and coupled to the DC power distribution system. Each PCU has a processor and system memory and a standard data and power interface, the processor being programmed for differential peer-to-peer communication with adjacently interconnected PCUs throughout the PCU network and with an external system of the aircraft. A PCU of one seat of each row is serially coupled to all PCUs in the respective row, and designated as a row master PCU; a PCU of one seat of each column is serially coupled to all row master PCUs in the respective column, and designated as a column master PCU; a PCU of one seat of each zone is serially coupled to all column master PCUs in the respective zone, and designated as a zone master PCU; and one zone master PCU is designated as a PCU system master and connected to an external system. Two-conductor data wires couple all PCUs within the PCU network.

    Abstract: A power management system has a controller including one or more processors. The controller is configured to monitor electrical power on a power bus of a vehicle. The power bus is electrically connecting a power source to multiple subsystems of the vehicle for powering the subsystems via the electrical power on the power bus. The controller is further configured to determine that the electrical power on the power bus exceeds a designated power generation limit, and, in response, generate a reduction command message for communication to a lowest-priority subsystem of the subsystems. The reduction command message instructs the lowest-priority subsystem to reduce power consumption.

    Abstract: There is provided a portable wand system having a wand applicator, a wand controller subsystem, a selector assembly, an indicator element, and a power assembly. The wand controller subsystem includes a computer program, and a memory unit storing paths learned and recorded during a learn mode, by an operator manually moving the wand applicator. The paths include desired paths in stay-in zones to be surface treated, and include stay-out zone paths in, or near, stay-out zones to be avoided. The portable wand system is used in an operation mode to measure the operator manually moving the wand applicator in operation paths, based on the desired paths. For a selected stay-in zone, the portable wand system compares the operation path to the desired path, and indicates when the operation path deviates from the desired path, and when the wand applicator is in proximity to, and oriented towards, the stay-out zones.

    Abstract: There is provided a portable wand system including a wand applicator containing a surface treatment application element. The portable wand system further includes a wand controller subsystem coupled to the wand applicator. The wand controller subsystem includes a computer program, and a depiction of one or more surfaces to be surface treated with the surface treatment application element. The portable wand system further includes a user input button coupled to the wand applicator, an indicator element, a power assembly coupled to the wand controller subsystem, and one or more registration features to register the wand applicator against known location(s) at the one or more surfaces in the depiction. The portable wand system measures positional data of the wand applicator in real-time, and compares the positional data against the depiction, to indicate to a user when a predetermined surface treatment application is achieved for the one or more surfaces.

    Abstract: An excimer lamp includes a dielectric tube, an end cap, a conductive hollow tube, and an electrode grid. The dielectric tube has a closed end and an open end, and defines a cavity. The end cap sealingly covers the open end. The conductive hollow tube passes through the end cap and into the cavity of the dielectric tube, with a volume defined between an exterior surface of the conductive hollow tube and an interior surface of the dielectric tube. The volume is configured to hold a gas. The electrode grid is disposed on an exterior surface of the dielectric tube.

    Abstract: Examples for logical to physical mapping of aircraft electronic components are presented. A system may include aircraft electronic components coupled sequentially to a power wire, corresponding controllers, and a master computing device. The computing device may receive a first identifier for a first component from a first controller in response to the first controller receiving power at a first time from the power wire and a second identifier for a second component from a second controller in response to the second controller receiving power at a second time from the power wire. The second time is subsequent to the first time. The computing device determines locations for the first and second component within the aircraft based on an order of reception of the identifiers.
