    Abstract: An augmented display system with dynamic see-through transmittance control is disclosed. The augmented display system includes: an augmented display screen; a tandem electrochromic (EC) filter disposed over the augmented display screen. The tandem EC filter includes a first window having a dominant first transmittance characteristic and a second window having a dominant second transmittance characteristic; and an augmented display transmittance controller configured to individually control the activation of the first window and the second window of the tandem EC filter, wherein the augmented display transmittance controller is configured to: determine from an ambient light sensor output the transmittance required from the first window and the second window for a selected augmented display luminance; and apply appropriate drive voltage waveforms to the first window and the second window to achieve the determined transmittance.

    Abstract: A method for verifying the integrity, continuity, and availability (ICA) of information displayed on an uncertified display is provided. The method comprises creating, on the high integrity device, application data for display on an uncertified display device; transmitting the application data to the uncertified display device for display; receiving, at the high integrity device from the uncertified display device, a captured image of the display captured using a screen capture feature on the uncertified display device; determining, at the high integrity device, an expected display image; comparing, at the high integrity device, the captured image of the display to the expected display image; identifying, at the high integrity device, a loss of ICA if one or more frames in the captured image fails the comparison with the expected display image; and causing the annunciation of a message indicating the loss of ICA when a loss of ICA is identified.

    Abstract: A display integrity system for use in a mounting adapter configured to mount a personal electronic device (PED) on an aircraft is disclosed. The display integrity system includes a transparent surface configured to overlay the display surface of a PED when the PED is mounted in the mounting adapter. The transparent surface includes one or more regions embedded with one or more coating layers that when activated with a select excitation wavelength are configured to emit visible light to annunciate a message indicating a problem with an image displayed on the PED. The display integrity system further includes a lighting source housed in the mounting adapter and configured to provide light in the select excitation wavelength when activated to illuminate the transparent surface and an imaging device mounted in the mounting adapter and configured to capture an image of the PED display for transmission to a server for integrity checking.

    Abstract: A server system on an aircraft is provided. The server system is configured to allow critical aeronautical information to be displayed on a cockpit display that is not certified for displaying critical aeronautical information. The server system includes an aircraft interface device configured to interface with one or more aeronautical systems on the aircraft to retrieve critical aeronautical information; an application module configured to generate application data for display on the cockpit display wherein the application data includes at least some of the critical aeronautical information; an interface module configured to transmit the application data to the cockpit display for display; and an integrity checking module configured to retrieve image data from an image sensor trained on a display device in the cockpit display and configured to perform an integrity check on the image data from the image sensor.
