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.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to autonomous airport runway navigation. An example system includes a first sensor and a second sensor coupled to an aircraft at a first location and a second location, respectively, and a computing system configured to receive sensor data from one or both of the first sensor and the second sensor to detect airport markings positioned proximate a runway. The computing system is further configured to identify a centerline of the runway based on the airport markings and receive sensor data from both of the first sensor and the second sensor to determine a lateral displacement that represents a distance between a reference point of the aircraft and the centerline of the runway. The computing system is further configured to control instructions that indicate adjustments for aligning the reference point of the aircraft with the centerline of the runway during subsequent navigation of the aircraft.
